Expert Workmen ∙ Best Materials Used ∙ Prompt Service.
In 1920, Mr. H.D. Short opened his doors and welcomed his first customer.
For almost 50 years, Short’s Shoe Shine sent many shoes out onto South Clinton Street buffed to a high mirror shine. Today, by the graces of the Short and Belle family, we aim to introduce a new sort of shine, while borrowing an old Short’s motto:
Expert Workmen ∙ Best Materials Used ∙ Prompt Service.
We feature fresh, never frozen beef from local farmer Ed Smith of Columbus Junction. Our fries are hand-cut daily, seasoned to perfection and make the perfect accompaniment to any of our gourmet burgers, chicken sandwiches, or homemade black bean burgers. At the bar, all 30 of our draft lines are dedicated to the finest Iowa Craft beers and cider. We also feature signature cocktails.
Stop by and taste these great Iowa Creations.
