Shorty’s Southside

What a fantastic place! We love Shorty’s Southside, they have amazing food!
Love the garlic fries, we usually start off with those, then pick one of the many specials — they always have something interesting to try. Prices are really good, portions are nice! We always wind up taking some home.
The place is clean and welcoming, Staff is friendly and efficient, service is quick. All in all, highly recommended! Can’t wait to go back!

First time here owner was very gracious and friendly. Portions were very big and tasted awesome. Have been to restaurants with big portions with no flavor. But here they were big and tastes excellent. Eggplant sandwich was not heavily breaded. It was eggplant not bread. Loved it. Wife had pastrami sandwich on rye. She loved. Going to stop here on our way back from Camada

Delicious food and very cute atmosphere! The waitress was really nice, food was served timely and was delicious, and it seems the bar is a hit too! Awesome!

Great food. Great atmosphere. Huge portions! Try the Reuben fritters and the burgers!

Great place for lunch. Brisket sandwich was amazing as was the turkey soup. Out of the way spot in a nice neighborhood Will put this on my GPS to stop gain as we travel!

Last week shortys was taken over by new management. I never liked the food there before. The amounts we always massive and looked good but tasted horrible. Food is much better now under new management. Lite menu with a couple of specials. We plan on going back again real soon. If u r not or were not a Shorty’s fan give it a try again. I don’t think u will b disappointed.

I stopped in here last week with some friends. The kitchen closes early even on the weekends. On Friday & Saturday they stay open til 10pm but will close earlier if there are not many customers. We had ordered the following the other night: Lasagna, Chef Salad, Chicken Parmigiana and pasta with the Alfredo sauce. The lasagna was massive. It easily could be made into two meals. It sure looked good to me. I plan on giving it a try on one of my stops here. The Chef Salad was monstrous and very delicious. Again, a two meal entrée if you are willing to eat day old salad. There was ample amounts of meats and cheese. A nice added bonus was the two artichoke hearts which were great. I had the chicken parmigiana which I enjoyed very much. The size of this dish was typical. I did not have any left overs. I’m not much of an Alfredo fan myself but I can say my friend finished off a nice size bowl. The service was good. The restaurant is small so you may have to wait on weekends. I’m looking forward to getting the chef salad and the lasagna in the future.

Wandered over to Shorty’s when I came across a coupon recently in a local magazine, and I wasn’t disappointed! Impeccably clean, comfortably cool (it was about 95 degrees outside), friendly staff, a small (but pleasing) selection of specials, and amazing prices to boot. You couldn’t ask for anything more. Shorty’s, along with its neighbor La Cucina, are two of the best things about Amsterdam dining. If only more people knew they were there!!! (but then again, they might become overpopular and the quality might go down!).
