Short Cakes

My new favorite fly in reasturant. Best chicken and dumplings I've had in years. The ingredients are literally scratch as they are also a first class Bakery. Veggies also appeared to be fresh vs. canned. Very nice atmosphere and clean. I will definitely be back. Please support this wonderful airport location. It's so hard to get a good airport reasturant and even harder to keep them.

The first thing was that the picture of the restaurant online is not the same building that the restaurant is in. We actually drove past it before we realized that the restaurant was inside the airport terminal. Their first red flag should have been that there was hardly any vehicles in the parking lot maybe one or two.
As we entered we stood around because we weren't sure if we're supposed to seat ourselves or not. It took a minute or two for one of the persons behind the counter to acknowledge us & tell us sit anywhere. We were the only customers in the restaurant at this point yet it took the server about 5 to 6 minutes to get to us and that was after we stood up and walked back to the counter to ask if we're supposed to order online or if there were menus. She finally came and brought menus. We ordered our drinks and she brought those. We told her we need just a couple minutes to review the menu. She sat at another table where she could clearly see us and folded silverware into napkins. We had thoroughly perused the menu and had already decided what we would like to have for breakfast but we sat and waited. We waited probably about 9 or 10 minutes and she finally got up from her table but instead of coming over to wait on us she made three trips from the table she was at to the silverware tray to put the wrapped silverware away. Then she finally came to take our orders.
We waited and looked out over the airport for about 15 minutes then our food arrived.
We ordered the cowboy breakfast which came with grits, two eggs, fried apples, a biscuit, gravy, bacon, a sausage patty, a piece of ham, and either hash brown casserole or potatoes. We opted for the hash brown casserole, omitted the grits, asked for the eggs over medium and the bacon crisp.
The gravy was like thin soup with globs of boiled flour in it. The eggs were actually cooked correctly but the bacon was floppy, not crisp. The hash brown casserole I had anticipated being similar to cracker barrel but this stuff was nasty. It tasted like they made it with dehydrated hash browns and it was gooey like eating glue. There was no butter or jelly on the table and so we got our server's attention and asked for butter and jelly. Her response, was, "there should have been some there!" Did she think we stole it? I asked if they had apple butter and she said, "the only butter we have is just plain butter." Lol! Apparently she didn't know what apple butter was. We love our biscuits especially biscuits and gravy but the biscuit was left uneaten as was the gravy and the hash brown casserole. For $14.99 I really, really expected a better breakfast.
The other entree we ordered was called the wayne. It was a layering of biscuits eggs with soupy, watery, gravy with lumps of boiled flour on top.
When our server came to check on us we told her we would like our check and a couple of boxes for my leftover meat and fried apples.
By this time there were a few other tables of customers in the dining room but it still took her quite some time to bring our check.
She seemed to be the only one waiting on tables although the lady that had been behind the counter when we arrived was now standing at another table chatting. We saw at least three other people in the back and I'm sure one or two of them were cooks.
It did not seem that this establishments main priority was the customers. From the moment we walked into the door to the time we asked for our check it seemed like everything else they were doing was more important than waiting on the customer.

Had breakfast there today. My husband and I both had omelettes and both delicious. Restaurant is clean and waitstaff very sweet and accommodating. Hash brown casserole was excellent!! Definitely 5 stars!

Let me start by saying, I usually love food from Shortcakes. Today I ordered a chicken and yellow rice plate that I paid a dollar extra for soup, a 12 Oz bowl of chicken and yellow rice, a chips and salsa. When order arrive through Doordarshan the 12 Oz chicken and rice not in order. I called and was told it would be brought, and hour later I called back at which time I was told the 12 Oz rice was in the smaller bag with the soup it was not. The lady talking to me on the phone tried talking over me to say it was there ND maybe the Doordarshan person took it. Shameful, poor customer service. I did say I will just not order from there if this is the service I am going g to get.

Great service. Excellent breakfast.

Really cool place with awesome food!

Awesome 👍 Food was delicious, took time to prepare but worth it. Restaurant clean, friendly staff, view was cool, small planes landing and taking off.

Been there 3 times in the last month and all three times it took 30 plus minutes just to get my food even when there were only a couple tables occupied. The staff was lackluster and un attentive. Food was ok but service was awful. And the owner just complained at her employees instead of trying to make things better. Its sad because 2 months ago everything was perfect. What ever they changed they need to fix it.

Great people and the food is very good

On Saturday June morning we wwre seated quickly. My husband ordered the country breakfast and declared this lady knows how to make gravy. Biscuits are hand rolled and yummy. Bacon cooked to perfection.
