There is no secret BBQ food takes a length a time to cook properly. So when it comes to BBQ few things make the customer happy. Good taste, food is hot served quickly (because its already cooked), and the biggest contributing cause to a great meal is customer service. It has been a long week for me so to come in at 10:20pm as the restaurant is about to close was a gamble I was taking. Usually at closing time the food is being stored, employees are aggravated and want to go home, it is usually a disaster.

I tell you what readers: yup.. it was going to be a disaster because as I walked in, most of the workers were all sitting around talking to each other, a huge wealth of them were prepping to close, i mean lets be honest it is near closing time, can't really blame them.

But one soul changed the entire course of my visit! (Corporate, take note) A waitress by the name of Ely dropped what she was doing and tendered to me. Let me rephrase this A YOUNG individual stopped what they were doing and allowed me to place my order swiftly. Didn't sit back to continue their conversations, or act like they are too busy to give customer service.

The manager (sorry sir, didnt grab your name) brought the food out!!!!! Again, corporate take note, you have som fairly amazing employees.

The food was spot on, not too soggy for pulled pork, corn was steaming hot. Fries were crisp and you can tell the oil is changed recently.

A+ Shorty's of Bird Road, A+

(Little did anyone know that an individual whom reviews a lot and sees close to 6.3Million viewers per week for would walk in near closing time)

Great Job Ms. Ely and Mr. Manager

So readers, if you want great service, i hope you run into both of these champs, and more-so, I hope the other staff members look up to these individuals. Makes the food go from...

A bit unprofessional. Saturday early afternoon, they were playing Doja Cat and other inappropriate artists with the cussing included. I don't usually care, but when I come to places like this, I'm going for the theme.... which should be country/western/etc. Seemed super out of place and gave a weird vibe.

Sauce problem. I go to Shortys for the BBQ sauce, the one on the table is the best part. When we sat down, I tried a bit of sauce on my finger. It was perfect, but then we switched tables by the window and I tried it again on my finger from this other bottle and it was bad! The consistency was watery and the flavor was watered down. Obviously a waiter had tampered with it because he was too lazy to refill it properly at night, and surely just filled up some sauces with water thinking no one would notice. WE DO. My boyfriend tried it too and he tasted a huge difference as well with the BBQ AND the hot sauce one.

We switched the sauces with another table and it was still inconsistent. Didn't have the normal Shortys taste and consistency. Then we grabbed the sauces from our original table far away because we couldn't trust the likelihood of how lucky we'll be to switch with another set of proper sauces.

If I hadn't tasted the first perfect sauce, I would've just assumed Shortys changed their recipe and I'd never be back again. Now I know it's just this location I could never trust.

Also the waiter with the long hair gave a little attitude when we asked to switch tables. We won't be back and I'll always recommend the dadeland location in favor of this place if anyone...
