What User likes about Shorte's Bbq:
Wow! The brisket was so delicate and tasty. The burned ends were also highly recommended and I agree. The seasoned fries and the Spicy Cheesy Corn so good. The hidden little jewel was the corn bread when I drove some honey on it, oh wow! I would recommend you stop if you were in town. My buddy had the bride and smoked turkey. Wow, there's nothing wrong here! View all feedback.
