Reviews for Short's Burger & Shine in Iowa City, IA
Great service...all the staff members very polite & helpful. The fries were terrific, and was the "short sauce" spicy BBQ.... However burgers were way overpriced - $15 for a burger totalled up to almost $100 for our party. Burgers were mid sized, notvery large - and tasted profile was ok. Not juicy, like five guys! Ok experience overall... Read more
We went late and they were out of burger patties. Depends on the day when they are super busy. Glad to get food though. Tried... the Cerro Gordo chicken sandwich which was okay with grilled patty and bacon. The Grand Junction bean burger on the other handwas pretty tasty. Last time, I tried the Dundie Burger ???? which was amazing. Here, I will stick to the burgers. Read more
Good burgers. Excellent selection of beers to choose from. Crowded, loud and dark. Staff friendly and attentive. Great place but... not a five star establishment. Read more
This place was great! I had a burger (with chorizo and cheese on top) without the bun and a side salad. My friend got one that... had brie on top, she also got hers without the bun. . They have so many different options for burgers, it was hard to choose!I'm glad I got what I got because it was delicious. And the service was on par, server was very attentive to us and all theother customers. We will definitely go back there again Read more
What a wonderful place this is. I have never seen a larger choice of burgers and beers than what they have. The quantities are... huge and unless you are really starving, I?m not sure you can finish one whole thing. The food is delicious, loved it. More thanthat is the company of people working there. A big shout out to Ryan, Nick and Lindsy for a great conversation. You guys arereally cool and I thoroughly enjoyed being there. Would definitely recommend everyone to go at least once. Read more
I got Jamaican burger in a wrap and my husband got the Defiance burger. Both were good but I thought my burger lacked a little... flavor. It was cool the way they wrapped it in a wrap so the sandwich was round. My husband's burger was juicy with so muchbacon he shared some with his wife! The fries were handmade with skins on and not really soggy or greasy. Interior is like a barand dark and we almost walked away. Glad we didn't! Server was a great young man who handled himself very well! My Cocoa Stoutwas rich and mellow. Read more
Had the tropical junction black bean burger which was delicious! The pineapple jalapeno salsa tasted so fresh and had a nice... kick. Our server was very tentative and also the fries were yummy. I would defiantly come back. Read more
This place is the new bar for which I will measure burgers. The menu is simple and direct, they aren't trying to give you a big... decision, it is really just which fantastic burger you want. They have several delicious options and I was able to sub the meatfor a black bean patty which was great! The fries were fresh and excellent, served with a side of garlic aoli they immediatelystarted the meal off on the best foot. I customized my burger with pepper jack cheese, guacamole, and the garlic aoli sauce.They come with basic toppings (lettuce and tomato) standard as well. The burger was absolutely delicious. If I lived anywhereclose this would be my go-to place to eat. They have a bar section as well, I can't attest to the drinks, if they are anythinglike the food though I'm sure it is top notch!
