Reviews for The Diner at Shorty's in Crossfield, AB
We tried the burgers today before heading to the markets, Nov 5 2022. Arrived around 2pm. Initial counter service was good. ... Seating was adequate. However, this is when the wheels fell off. The cost of 2 burgers, 1 fry and one onion ring order was abit steep at $32. It was busy, the meal took about 20 minutes to make. I will accept both wait and cost if the burgers wereexceptional, unfortunately, they were not. I think they were superstore bought patties, not hand made ground beef. The onionson the burger were listed as "onions" on the menu, however, they were RED onions, that should be listed. If anyone knowsonions, white and red DO NOT taste the same. The toppings were fresh, however stingy. The fries and onion rings could stand ontheir own. I do like an interesting atmosphere but I have to say, the cost of the materials to decorate that place must hadcost a small fortune and that cost was transfered to the substandard meal. I would appreciate better food for less expensiveinterior decorations. To sum it up. I did not order drinks because the food was costly enough. The burger patties should behome made beef and charbroiled for that cost. The fries were good and the rings were good too. Since I only had the burgers Ican not comment on the fish or other food. Unfortunately, the day was a bit ruined by this substandard and expensive meal. Iwill not be returning. Sorry. Read more

I came here on a recommendation and it turned into an experience. The service was genuine, friendly and efficient. My cod fish... tacos were the freshest and the best I have ever had. The hand cut in house made french fries were perfect especially with maltvinegar. All this inside a clean, well kept diner filled with historic automotive memorabilia fitting for what once was agarage. Lindsay the owner was caring and had so much knowledge on the history behind the building and its contents. How good wasit? I have told one person per hour about it since i left and cant wait to go back. Read more
