Shorty's Texas Bar-B-Q

My potato is always SLAMMin' I normally order, via DoorDash and they never disappoint! Service, for me is always just "down home" nice. I had the chance to finally stop by, to order in person - greeted my very nice - I didn't have to wait 2 long - and the store is very interesting, to say the very least! Ambience was decent, however that PARKING - whew! Don't get your car washed before going, #imJustSAYIN'

Let me first start with the good, the cook on the brisket was very good not a dry piece on the plate. Friendly people. Place was clean. Now let me get to the heart of this place, all the meat and sides needed more seasoning, more oomph! I would title this place almost there or going in the right direction just needs more oomph to their food. BBQ sauce was a little thick but again has a good base. Also, fix your soda machine or get rid of it and sell individual cans or bottles. I know running a restaurant isn't cheap but having 3 of 6 options out of order isn't a good selling point. Especially when the out of order signs show how long they have been out. Again this place has a good base just needs to take it up to great.

I at least want to give this a 2 star rating for the staff but I can't bring myself to do it with how extremely bad the food is here. The other reviews saying this is good bbq, either have never had good bbq or they have no taste buds. There wasn't anybody there when we pulled up, but I figured it was because it was an early Thursday night. Nope, not the case here. I think the true locals know this place is bad. The staff was extremely nice! The food on the other hand was so bad. We barely touched our food and pretty much threw everything away. Even the sides were sour and tasted bad. The sides and bbq sauce tasted like they had been sitting there all day or even multiple days, which I'm probably right. The meat was discolored and was very dry and didn't taste good. I honestly don't know how this place hasn't gone out of business. Anybody reading my review, take mine seriously and do not even entertain the other reviews. You can zoom in on my plate and see the discolored meats. I say the following with no exaggeration at all, this is the worst bbq I have ever had in my life.

Placed an order for delivery by door Dash. Items were missing and sides were incorrect tried calling them and the line stayed busy..

Great BBQ! Loved the atmosphere. My wife had brisket and I had the loaded potato. Highly recommend!

Some of these best BBQ I've ever had! The atmosphere is a real ole school style vibe. You walk in there and the smoky aroma of excellent bbq will hypnotize you. A huge menu, portions are awesome, and amazingly priced! The ladies that helped me were super nice, great conversation about bbq! I had the three meat. The meat does not need sauce at all but when you add the sauce, it's even better and didn't think that was possible. Brisket was tender, potato salad and cowboy beans are amazing. I didn't order any but I did get a sample of the smoked cabbage and it can't be beat! Sleep on it if you want to and you will regret it! This place is awesome!!

My Wife and Me have been here several times, food is good. Friendly staff, nice southern feel.

They were very kind and had everything ready. They included extra bbq sauce & toppings. The only complaints I'd have is the meat was all piled in one container. We ordered a variety of 5lbs and the Mac and cheese was so dry no one ate it, they also only included a few slices of bread. For the price I would've expected better quality.

Overall, it was okay. The potato was good and HUGE! The sides weren't good... beans taste sour, potato salad was okay, mac & cheese was good! My husband got the brisket sandwich and said it was okay. They were very nice tho!

Had the 3 meat plate. Brisket was cold and under cooked. Ribs were terrible, cold and over cooked. Beans were also terrible. Will not recommend nor come back.
