    Okay let me tell you, this place is phenomenal. We were biking around and decided to pop in for a quick drink. We ended up with mimosas and THE best biscuit and gravy I have ever tasted. My husband got the BLT and my brother in law had an omelette. Both raved about their meal but were definitely jealous of my meal. Desiree was fantastic and the manager even helped us fix our bike seat. Great view of the water as well! We are definitely returning with more family before we leave Florida. Cheers from Canada!

    If you haven’t been to Shorty’s Breakfast & Gourmet Grill, you’re missing out on one of the best dining experiences around! The food is top-notch the Cuban sandwich was absolutely perfect, pressed just right with that authentic, flavorful blend of roast pork, ham, Swiss, pickles, and mustard that melts together beautifully. The chicken salad wrap was equally impressive fresh, flavorful, and made with real care. But what really sets Shorty’s apart is the atmosphere. The waterside view is fantastic relaxing, scenic, and the perfect backdrop for breakfast, lunch, or a laid-back afternoon meal. The outdoor seating lets you enjoy the fresh air and peaceful vibe while you eat, and the staff make you feel right at home with their friendly service and quick attention. Every visit feels like a mini getaway great food, great people, and a great view. Whether you’re craving a hearty Cuban, a fresh wrap, or just a quiet place by the water to unwind, Shorty’s Breakfast & Gourmet Grill hits the mark every time. Highly recommend!

    This restaurant and convenience store is truly a hidden gem! The food was absolutely delicious, and the customer service went above and beyond. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming — you can really tell they care about their customers. The owner was incredibly kind and even gifted my daughter a beautiful necklace, which made her day! It’s rare to find such genuine, thoughtful people these days. Highly recommend stopping by — amazing food, great atmosphere, and the nicest people you’ll ever meet!

    Found this spot on accident and loved the atmosphere after walking inside. I was greeted nicely by my server Desiree who also did an amazing job catering to my meal. I came in for breakfast and was super happy with the outcome, delicious food and the view was perfect for the occasion. Thank you again to the kitchen and Desiree who gave me a great meal and experience here passing through Clearwater!
