Shorty's Surfside & Topside - Grayton Beach

[For The Health Of It]

We just finished eating a wonderful meal at the former D&K's in Grayton. The new restaurant Shorty's features a nice lunch and dinner menu. To start we had a hit with the Lime Soup. Just as the menu said, it was light and refreshing, great taste, great presentation.

Our second course featured the Surfside West Indies Salad and the Grilled Fresh Black Grouper. The salad was huge with Romaine hearts topped with a generous portion of fresh, Jumbo Lump Blue Crab meat with bell peppers, tomatoes and scallions. It was a meal by itself. The Grouper was simple, well cooked and very Fresh. It was prepared with a lemon butter sauce. The sauce was not over powering. You could taste the fresh fish. For sides, we picked the Asparagus w/ Balsamic Glaze and the Zucchini & Yellow Squash prepared with Dill. The vegetables like the rest of the meal were done well. Our compliments to the Chef.

To finish it off, being in the old D&K's, we had to have Kathy's Key Lime Pie. As always, it was incredible. It was a nice touch having the former owners creation still on the menu.

Shorty's will open to the public on Monday and we recommend giving it a shot. The staff has some of the area's best and most recognizable faces. The owner Henry Patterson has assembled a winning team.

Kathy's Key Lime Pie

:scratch: Hmmmm I didn't know my Key Lime Pie was going to be on the menu.

But I do wish them great success! So glad to hear great review on the food.

I must have been mistaken that the pie was made by you. They were saying that your key lime pie was the best, so I assumed. This one was very good though. Sorry if I mis-spoke.

Sounds FANTASTIC!!!!! What are the prices like? Hours? Do they serve liquor? Can a lunch & dinner menu be posted?
I heard that it is upstairs and downstairs dining?

Will be interested in seeing how the limited parking between the Red Bar, Shorty's, and the Zoo, and the folks wanting to visit the Beach share those limited compact cars parking spaces. As a full time Grayton resident, am also wondering how the flow of traffic during the evening hours will move through our Grayton community as Hotz is almost a one way traffic street when cars are parked on both sides.

We wanted to stop by the Red Bar for a drink about sunset on Friday - we had already had dinner. Between the dinner crowd, the folks on the beach and the fishermen ending their day, it was madness. People were parking in front of the houses on the side streets, and cruising around waiting for a spot. We went home and had a drink.

I guess there are no slow weekends anymore....

That's why we always ride our bikes to The Red Bar...no parking issues when you do that and you get great exercise!!
