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!

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

    We were with A party of five and we were set in the new back room. The Monday special was a 8 ounce steak fillet and it was melting in your mouth Wonderful. It came along side with cheese filled mushrooms, but those were cold and the cheese wasn’t melted. rolls were good and so were the desserts. Definitely recommend.

    Kat was awesome as she always is. The new owner made sure to shake my hand and introduce himself. That will go along way in a town like Garrett. I am excited to see what all they do with the restaurant while keeping the cool vibe it has.
