Shorty's Lunch — Restaurant in Washington

Not happy with my service!! I had pulled up to the drive thru, asked for a cheeseburger with only ketchup, with fries and a small soda. The man informed me that "We do not do cheese". No problem I said. Within seconds my order was ready. I was very excited to eat it but within minutes of me returning to work, I then realized why it was done so quickly. It was almost raw in the center. I showed a colleague, who agreed. I took another bite just to be sure but it was really pink and very, very thin. Basically the outside was just browned. I threw the burger in the garbage. The fries were good but I asked for ketchup packets and they were stuck together with sticky mess because a packet must have leaked and was all over the 3 packets they gave me. Definitely not worth 7 something and very glad I had gift certificates. Not sure why everyone raves about this place unless I had a bad employee or went on an off day. This was the...

Its a cute place with good friendly service but the food and space needs updating and improvements. I sat at the bar and ordered two chili dogs with fries and gravy. The food unfortunately is...mid at best; the fries and dogs tasted like what you'd get at any other cheap concession stand. No cheese on the menu too, what a bummer. Overheard construction workers ordering and asking for it. Missed $$ opportunity imo because I would've ordered cheese dogs as well. The original 1930's wooden booths, trim and hardware around the shop are interesting but the peeling and bubbling wall paint and dingy menu are signs the place is way overdue for a renovation. There was also no heat on inside, chilly dining meant I ate fast and left. I appreciate their energy for the legacy of the eatery but its a shame that same energy isn't invested back into the overall...

I don't live in Washington but if I did I would come here more often. It is always great food...I mean I get a hot dog and fried and gravy usually. There are other items tho to chose from. The staff is very polite. Waitresses are on it. The guys that make the hot dogs and burgers are in front where you can see them and wow....they are quick...and I mean quick! The guys(Im assuming) that are in back deep frying....are quick as well you get your food in a matter of minutes after ordering. They dont have many tables so obviously thats why they dont get overwhelmed and backed up. But thats not a bad thing. Its a great place...they do have a restroom you have to go through the back kitchen down a narrow and somewhat steep staircase...so if you can't do steps well I would use the restroom before or after going...thats all. Great place. Love it! Will...
