You’re not busy tonight swing out to the block party we’re here serving up good Eats

🏈 WELL… THIS ONE KINDA SUCKS.

For the first time in a few seasons, Shorty’s won’t be slinging food inside the stadium this year.

Are we sad about it? Hell yeah.
Are we done feeding game day? NOT. EVEN. CLOSE. 😎

We’re definitely going to miss being right there in the middle of the game-day madness, feeding hungry fans, slinging your favorites, and being part of that atmosphere.

BUT DON’T WORRY…

This season, we’re bringing the game-day grub HOME to Shorty’s Burgers & Brew!

🍔 Your Shorty’s favorites
🍟 Footlong Corndogs, Chislic, Curds, Funnel Cake Fries O MY!
🔥 Game-day specials
🍺 Cold drinks
🍩 AND YES… Freedom Gluten Free Mini Donuts!

YES. THE FREEDOM GLUTEN FREE MINI DONUTS ARE COMING WITH US. 🙌

And to our gluten-free crew — we see you. 💙

Finding food that works for you on game day shouldn’t mean settling for whatever you can find. If Shorty’s has been one of your go-to stops for gluten-free grub, we’ve still got you covered at the restaurant.

Just making damn sure our GF friends know where they can find the Shorty’s favorites they already love. 🤘

So yeah… you won’t see us inside the stadium.

You’ll just have to come raise a little hell with us BEFORE and AFTER the game instead.

GAME DAY STILL EATS AT SHORTY’S.

Today we’re celebrating the guy who never asks for the spotlight. ❤️🎉

Happy Birthday to the man behind so much of what makes Shorty’s possible.

On top of working a full-time job every single day, he still finds the time and energy to help make this dream a reality.

He’s the first one to clean a fryer, the last one to leave, the bus driver, trailer hauler, festival workhorse, equipment fixer, problem solver, and the guy who somehow can repair just about anything we break. If something needs to be moved, built, cleaned, hauled, fixed, or figured out… he’s already on it.

Most people never see the thousands of little things he does behind the scenes, but I do. Every single day.

Without him, I wouldn’t be able to chase this dream. While everyone sees the burgers, the restaurant, the food truck, and the festivals… he’s the foundation that quietly keeps it all moving.

Thank you for believing in me, supporting every crazy idea, sacrificing your time after long days at work, and always doing whatever it takes. None of this would be possible without you.

Happy Birthday to the hardest-working man I know. We love and appreciate you more than you’ll ever know. 🩷🍔🎂
