Shorty's Steakhouse is a unique dining experience. Established more than 20 years ago, along the historic Randolph Street in downtown Garrett, Indiana. Shorty's Executive Head Chef James Morrow has created & curated our menu over 10 years, carefully straddling the line of fine steakhouse dining, with small-town Indiana fare.

We are located in Garrett, Indiana, 10 minutes from the historic Auburn downtown and the ACD museum. Also, 20 minutes north of Fort Wayne, Indiana, 15 minutes from Kendallville, Indiana and 25 minutes south of Angola, Indiana. We love that we bring all these communities together at Shorty's.

Shorty's is proud to offer bar seating, family room seating and an outdoor patio we completed last year.
We are laid-back and believe our guests' enjoy the incredible service & food without having to "dress-up".
We embrace the great and growing community of Garrett, Indiana and love that we can share amazing cuisine in an unexpected location.

See you soon!

    This was our first experience with Shorty's, at the recommendation of a friend. The service was great, not overbearing, but also attentive at the same time. Offered recommendations when we asked, friendly and knowledgeable. The food was delicious, we had haddock fingers for an app - highly recommend and try the jalepeno tarter sauce they come with, not spicy but great flavor. We also had the feature filet and added on a crab cake and shrimp. The filet was cooked perfectly and crab cake and shrimp were also delicious! We took home TWO dessert to go, carrot cake and cheesecake - both delicious! Will def be back, highly recommend!

    Prime rib and Old Fashioned was amazing. I don’t mind spending more on a dinner when it’s this good.
