Searching for the Best Food in Falls City?
For over 75 years, and through multiple owners, Shorty’s Place has been a Karnes County tradition serving up comfort foods like chicken-fried steak, burgers, steaks, fried okra, and an array of fresh-baked desserts.
Since late 2018, the restaurant has been owned by Chris McCombs, who grew up in Corpus Christi and previously worked as a caterer in Dallas. Although Chef Chris has a background preparing more upscale cuisine and taught at the Le Cordon Bleu Institute of Culinary Arts in Dallas, he has made sure that Shorty’s hasn’t strayed far from its roots.

Customer Reviews
“Texas steaks like I remember from my youth. Huge, juicy, tender, and that taste only fresh Texas beef has.”
“Worth a trip of more than 50 miles!“
“This little spot is a comfort food oasis on highway 181 between San Antonio and Corpus Christi.”
“I had a hamburger with onion rings. The hamburger was old-fashioned, like homemade. The food was served hot and was excellent.”
