Shorty's Lunch

"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 dining experience."

"This is one place you must try when visiting Washington. Their hot dogs are fantastic. They sell shirts as well, but the shirts don’t taste very good."

"What a Great Old Fashioned Hot Dog Shop! My wife and I finally made it to this place and I wish we would have years ago! Shorty's has been in business since 1935, so you know they're doing something right! We both got a dog the everything way which is, mustard, chilli & onions (So Delicious I had to order another) and we also got a Large Fry with Gravy (Also Delicious and Best Seller). We just Loved the Whole Atmosphere of the Place! If you're in Washington, Pa Please Stop at Shorty's and get a Dog & Gravy Fries you'll thank me!!"

"A delicious grill fried hot dog! Why a 5 star…?Where else but here in Washington can you get an authentic grill fried dog. Plenty of home made sauce, diced onions and more. Don’t pass up the fries and gravy. Fast friendly service and booth seating or at the bar. Unusually clean and you can even order beer with the dog. A casual must stop place for a snack!"

"Atmosphere is like taking a time machine back 50 years which was unique. Excellent service. Greeted immediately on entry. The service was very friendly. Ordered 2 hotdogs and gravy fries. Food was ready in about 3 minutes. If you are an onion lover you might not love these because they are dry and very mild tasting. Chili was on the dryer side but worked good for the dogs. Hotdogs and buns were delicious. Gravy fries were good. Great place for quick bite with good service."
