    Restaurant info

    Welcome to Shorty’s! Our sandwiches start with our house-made bread, formed into 12” rounds and baked fresh daily, and we take the same care with absolutely everything we put on them or in our soups and salads, from the best meats to produce sourced from local farms. We make just about everything in house and from scratch, so you can always count on great ingredients and minimal processing!
