  Met my friend there as it was in between both our homes. We stumbled on it through a Yelp review. We took a chance and I couldn't have been happier. It was a cute place with friendly staff, great selections and the food was wonderful.  My friend and I didn't feel rushed to finish and leave by staff as we chatted after eating. I'd recommend this place to anyone and I'd make the drive from my house in Reading to eat there.

  I've been going to Shorty's for years and normally I would give them 5 stars but this last visit was a little rough. The food was amazing as always and I'm pleased to see they have started adding some adventurous options to the specials. They used to change their menu frequently so I'm hoping this is a good sign that the menu will continue to evolve.
  
  There were two of us and we waited a reasonable 15 minutes to get a table on a busy Sunday morning. Where it went wrong was after we were seated. It took another hour and a half to get our food. The issue was not with our waitress, she was very attentive- I think they had too many people for what the kitchen was able to handle.
  
  It's unusual for them since there's not many breakfast options in Pottstown, and they're used to busy weekends. I'm hoping this was a fluke because I really love eating here and it's an institution in this area. I will try again and see what happens!

  This was great! It's a wonderful find in a pretty depressed area. Met a friend for breakfast! The restaurant is pretty large. The decor is funky fun! The service was super nice. The food was very interesting for breakfast. And it was excellent and served hot. My friend had the Mexican style eggs in a hole. Topped with salsa and sour cream. I had the Sunny special. Kielbasa and eggs with zucchini bread. The home fries would have been great if crispy and my side of bacon was over cooked. Otherwise It was excellent. I would say it's worth the drive. It was fun.

  I'm about a week late on this review so excuse me.  Anyway my friend and myself decided to go here to catch up.  Neither one of us had been here before and we had both been meaning to try it.  Once we got in it took us a few moment to get seated.  Noting crazy.  
  
  The atmosphere is nice.  It's a warm and cozy atmosphere.  Different decor and fresh Daisy's around.  Our waitress came over and gave us the specials and asked us if we needed help with the menu and got our drink orders.  She was very nice but you could tell she was very busy.  
  
  My friend decided to order French toast and a scrambler.  I ordered a special.  I'm sorry I forgot the exact name of it but it was potatoes, eggs and their famous crab dip grill cheese all in one dish.  Now after we ordered I will say it took soooo long for us to get our food.  I mean we even noticed a couple that had obviously been there before keep getting up asking about where their food was.  Not a good sign.  
  
  Now when we did get our food to me it was worth the wait.  Though the wait was disappointing.  But Let me tell you my dish was very hearty and filling.  It tasted really good. A lot of carbs but hey it was very flavorful.  I will say I wish I could have tasted the crab more.  My friend said her dish was good but she didn't like the texture of the bacon in the dish was.  She said the French toast was great though.  I ordered some French toast to go.
  
  I would go again and try other things on the menu.

  Homespun. Good food. Diner like vibe.
  Three breakfasts ordered.
  Three arrived in good time. Everything fresh.
  The zucchini bread was really good.
  An actual cross between a too sweet muffin and actually bread.
  A nice balance.
  The ambiance is a little scuffed. And slightly funky.I think you could call it trendy shabby chic, but it is probably pushing it a bit too far.
  I'd be happy to visit again when I am next in the area.
