What Xander Kihn doesn't like about Shorty's:
I think their food should be higher rated. The relatively low rate might be because of the high price. Mr Yu’s double cheese burger was juicy and flavorful, even better than Grease Monkey’s. My Falafel salad was also good. View all feedback. What Josie F likes about Shorty's:
We ordered a cocktail jug as well as a burger and chips each. Beef and bacon burger was nice. Chips unfortunately had cinnamon sprinkled on top. Not sure why. Veg burger was a bit too burnt. Sweet potato chips were good just slightly too salty. Overall not a bad meal. The service was good. Staff were friendly and welcoming. View all feedback.

Located in the alleyway where Gus Cafe is, it's easy to miss noticing Shorty's. But you you shouldn't because it's quite the hidden gem if you want a quick meal...

Shorty's in Canberra offers a range of hearty meals and drinks for locals and weary travelers alike. The Southern Fried Chicken Burger may not have lived up to expectations, but other menu items such as the double cheeseburger and the falafel salad have received high praise. The draft beer selection, including a White Rabbit Dark Ale, is a highlight, as are the refreshing cocktails. Customers have also enjoyed the Wednesday steak and beer special, a $15 Burger, Chips, and Beverages Deal on Thursdays, and the creative bacon jam topping on the classic beef burger. The staff at Shorty's are friendly and welcoming, making it a recommended spot for a casual bite or drink in a pub atmosphere.
