I grew up in Wake Forest and remember going to the Christmas parade as a little girl and always having a Shorty's hot dog while waiting for the parade to start. And of course I had to go there during lunch when I was in high school. Still, to this day, no one else's hot dogs even remotely compare to Shorty's (and I was in high school a long time ago). There's nothing fancy about the place, but who cares when their hot dogs are this good. And every once in a while if you eat there instead of taking your food to-go, you'll hear the train going by just behind the old building. It kinda makes you feel like you're visiting the past. You're not going to find a better hot dog anywhere. God Bless Shorty's!!

My husband and I are new to the area. We decided to go to shortys for lunch. Neither of us have ever had a southern dog before. I loved them! so did my husband. I had two dogs with chili and my husband had two dogs with chili and onions. The southern red hot dogs are mild in taste and smaller than compared to the northern hot dogs I am used too. I have to say hands down they taste better! The decor is outdated(70's style) but that does not bother me. It would be nice if someday the owner could restore it to look similar to when it first opened. We were there for lunch on a wednsday around 1:30 and it was not crowded. We will definately be back.
Pros: great hot dogs!
Cons: none
