Hi,
On your facebook page it states that you open @ 11 on Fridays but your google account states 4 p.m fro Fridays? it is very confusing and I had to call to check for hours! With that being said i now know that you are closed until 4 today and I would like to request you guys open back up for lunch because all I want is a buffalo Chicken quesadillahhhhhh!!!!! I promise to purchase lunch every Friyay--- as well as i know other people missing the tasty food 🙂
Thank You

Tried for the first time tonight, food was top notch. So much better than other BBQ restaurants in town. Brisket was moist, tender, and on the leaner side...and thicker slices than some other restaurants serve. Colossal sandwiches and no joke and live up to their name. Impressed by their covid response for take out service. I will certainly be back.
Update:
2nd visit and was just as impressed, stellar service over the phone and delivery right to the car! Other restaurants should be following ShortE’s lead...they are doing it right! Burnt ends were excellent as was a salad. I already have plans for my next take out order!read more

If you are tired of settling for the mediocre BBQ, (ie: jethros, Smokey D's, Woody's and so on) then I strongly recommend ShortE's BBQ in Johnston. Ever since my first experience with ShortE's Ive been hooked. I love BBQ and was always disappointed with what was offered in the Des Moines area. I've been a solid patron for over a year now and I've never had anything that did not satisfy. All I can say is if you are in the mood for BBQ, dont mess around... Go to ShortE's!read more

Enjoyed this place. Good ribs and sausage. Would recommend cooking burnt ends a little longer to break down that fat, but not so long that they dry out. Nachos are great!read more

This our new Friday lunch spot and after the first trip there it will be your next place that you always want to go.
Food it hot, fresh and delicious. Order at the counter and even on busy days wait time for your food averages less than 3 minutes. most times it is ready by the time you get ready to pay.
I honestly don't think i have one complaint after going here dozens of times in the last 2 months, maybe only that i wish i could eat more!read more
