WENDY AND TOM DINE OUT

Shorty's is a bit funky and we like funky! It has a Santa Fe decor with neon signs and a patterned metal ceiling. Antique wood signs adorn the walls and 50's nostalgia signs are placed around the rooms. The atmosphere is casual and people of all ages were dining there. Children seem to be welcome here and are placed with their parents a bit apart from other diners. We enjoyed the relaxed meal and the laid back style of the place.

APPETIZER:

Warm tortilla chips served with a mild salsa - We liked the freshness and warmth of the chips

ENTREE:

Santa Fe Salad ($8.29) Excellent - Fajita chips, lettuce, cheese, bacon, toasted almonds, sun-dried tomatoes, blue cheese. and a honey mustard dressing. A little different mixture than usual. They forgot the bacon but when it was brought to their attention, a huge supply was brought to the table immediately. The salad dressing was particularly good.

Jailhouse Chili ($6.29) A Southwestern chili with beef, jack and cheddar cheese and onions. Very good but not great. Tom called it "generic."

DESSERT:

OTHER:

Plenty of parking

Dress is casual

A somewhat typical Tex-Mex type place.

OVERALL:

B+

A pleasing meal, but nothing that made it really stand out.
