I loved the Beaconsfield burger ... Beer list is great. The Short Sauce is really tasty. This place will not disappoint. It seems to get packed during the dinner rush. You may want to get there early.
Local beer on tap and some of the best burger and chicken sandwich selections in town . Shorts is a must-stop for all Iowa City first-timers.
Best local burger , me thinks, with lots of options (try one with a fries egg or with chorizo just because). Good fries , too. Decent beer selection .
A GREAT place to watch Iowa football games if you are looking for a downtown establishment that is a little tamer, but still festive . Large TV 's, comfortable seating , delicious food, and local beer .
This place has the best beer ever!! I do not like beer but I had one that is brewed here in Iowa and it tasted amazing..... Their fries are like no other and burgers are very good as well .
Shorts is one of our favorite stops on the way to Iowa State but today was a little disappointing. Why ruin a great burger with great toppings with a stale falling apart bun ? Don't cut those corners
Great, local burger restaurant . Features close to 20 unique burgers with a variety of toppings which are all delicious. Love coming here on Monday's for their $6 burger special !
Amazing burgers ! Try the Defiance. Sit at the bar to listen to the interesting conversations from the staff .
Short 's has AMAZING burgers . Its a great place to meet with friends for a bite to eat. However, it is a very small restaurant and it is very difficult to sit more than 6 people!
Burgers , burgers burgers ! And the fries were great too. Good set of Iowa beers . Recommended.
You can't go wrong with anything at Shorts ! Try the 18 S. Clinton (#2 - lettuce, tomato , pickle , and cheese ). YUM! Plus, you are supporting the local farmers - the beef is from Iowa!
Local Iowa Beers , and all the beef comes from local Iowa Farms ! The hand cut fries are delicious, esp with the "Short 's Sauce"! Get the "Dundee " it's amazing!
By far the best beer bar in Iowa City. All Iowa beers , great burgers , what's not to like?
Best burgers in Iowa City . They have chicken sandwiches and black bean "burgers " for vegetarians as well . You won't regret going!
Many great burgers to choose from. They use local ingredients and have a good selection of Iowa beers .
Thick and juicy burgers served up with hand-cut fries . My favorite part: Short 's is the ONLY place in Iowa City that purchases title boxing matches (go Pacquiao!).
Small little hole in the wall place with pretty darn good burgers . There are a lot to choose from
Short 's offerrs over 15 types of burgers . It is owned by San Diego Chargers kicker Nate Kaeding, and is ranked in the top ten athlete owned restaurants in the nation.
Maynard burger...how can you go wrong with guac , bacon and aoli ?! Love it
Went to a fabulous John's Grocery beer tasting at Short 's last night. They pair a variety of brews with tasty food. Next month there will be another tasting - check out John's Grocery for details.
Not a lot of seating, but I've never had to wait. Not the greatest for families, but so delicious.
The best Black Bean Burgers in town ! Columbus Junction is my favorite and there's all Iowa Beers on tap !
The Dundee is a must, be warned that chomping into it too quickly could cause egg residue to fly across the table.
Go to Shorts on Mon nights for 1/2 price burgers ,umm... that's $5 gourmet burgers (made w/ local beef ) and fries . I'd recommend the Larchwood (red pepper mayo , onion , mushrooms and pepperjack ) chees
Discounted burger baskets monday after 6pm. 100% angus beef from cattle raised in Iowa. Try the Beaconsfield.
Exactly what I wanted. Delicious. Great spot.
great food, great drinks, lots of good local Brews ! ask chance for his favorite.
Delicious New York style cheesecake . A good nighttime snack when you need that extra sugar rush.
Decent burgers . I'd recommend coming here on special basket night
Seriously might be one of the best burger/fries on earth
The black bean burger can add some gas to your daily routine, but it's great!
Their black bean burger is almost as good as the real thing!
Delicious burgers . Best in Iowa City!
Get the Dundee ! Burger with a fried egg ?! Sinfully delicious!
The pizza and wings are very good here.
Local beer selection is the best I've seen downtown. Mmmmm ... Peace Tree ...
As great as the Burger 's are, try the chicken . Also they have a ton of beers on tap
Beer menu is quite inaccurate
Cannot go to Iowa City without a stop here!
Baxter and fries !
For the love of God, I wish they would sell the Short 's Sauce to the public. It's delectable!
Great local beer list .

The iced tea is nice for lunch . Have beer I'f you're here at nite
Wide array of unique burgers . Nice selection of Iowa beers . Try the cider .
