I was singing "Shorty swing my way" by K.P. & Envyi all the way there and back. (10 points if you can tell me the year that song was released.)
Shorty's is a popular lunch spot on Broadway Avenue in Phoenix for many that work nearby. It's a no frills sub shop that provides a quick lunch at a pretty decent price. The service counter staff was friendly and the food was good. I definitely didn't feel "shorted" on the amount of meat in my sandwich either.
Thursday is Hot Pastrami sandwich day, so of course, that is what I ordered! It was a simple yet hearty sandwich. Hot Pastrami on a signature "shorty roll" served with melted provolone cheese, mustard, and a couple of pickle spears -YUM. I added a drink and some potato salad and made it a combo. Couldn't resist grabbing a chocolate chip cookie (which I later gifted to a friend).
Parking is a bit tight, but nothing too bad. It seemed like the neighboring businesses didn't mind when parking overflowed to their parking spots either.
They have a loyalty program too, so make sure you pick up a punch card if you work nearby or plan to visit often. After the 10th punch you get a free lunch! That's about a 10% savings of a typical combo lunch considering my meal today was about $11.
