Shortcakes is the Waffle House of Stillwater, minus not being 24 hours. It's a little messy and diner-like, seating is limited, but the breakfast food is definitely the best in Stillwater, it's my personal breakfast go-to. The waffles are better than the pancakes here, for sure. Expect things to be a little dirty, but you will survive I promise!

I was just there for the first time ever after being requested by my friend for their birthday, and it was by far the best food I have eaten since I went to the copper kettle up in Michigan like 5 years ago. The whole experience was awesome, made me feel like I was in the 1900’s and I was in high school going there with my friends.

It was absolutely disgusting. Their “orange juice” is like Sunny D. The food was greasy and inedible. I got food poisoning sickness immediately after. We were checking out and noticed how unkept and flat-out DIRTY their grill and prep stations were. I was rushing out of that hell or I would’ve taken a photo.

Had the Orange Plate Special yesterday, Ex Husband Chili. You can tell the bowl was huge, it was a great meal.
It was excellent! I don't think I've ever had better chili.
I'm allergic to watermelon so my husband enjoyed that with his French Toast and big breakfast.

Awesome food at great prices. One of Stillwater's best values. Can't wait to go back and get the Chicken fried Steak and gravy, it is delicious. Make sure to get white gravy, yum.

Went there for dinner since we were feeling for breakfast food and it was pretty late. Saw good reviews for the place. As soon as we walked in, we knew we made a mistake. The interior is your general greasy diner look and feel after it's been in business for far too long and some things have been neglected, like sanitation. I got a breakfast burrito and she had ham and eggs with biscuits and gravy. Burrito was good for the price, nothing spectacular but not bad. Ham was pretty salty. The oddest part was that their gravy looked and tasted like boxed gravy that they didn't try really making. There was literally no pepper in the gravy and it was just like liquid cement. No flavor to it, and not very nice to look at. <br/><br/>Both of us felt a big sick to our stomachs afterwards, and will not return to the place. If you are drunk and wanting some cheap breakfast food, then this is your place, but if you're sober stay far away.

Love the food and the old school diner feel! Breakfast and burgers are always good. Friendly staff, quick service. You can go on your lunch break and get in and out pretty quickly.

Delicious diner food. Get the chicken fried steak, it is really big and delicious. Cant wait to eat there again. Sometimes I get the country breakfast and that always fills me up. Good coffee too.

In this episode of Blog Catch-Up, we go to Stillwater. Last October, we had dinner at Shortcakes while visiting Stillwater. All of us got breakfast of one kind or another except Ian, who had CFS. I had a bite of it, and it was pretty good. I had a Country Breakfast, which was eggs, bacon, hash browns, and pancakes. All excellent. Raegan had eggs and bacon.

Just like a Waffle House, I don't know how they pass their food safety inspections. The cook's big bellies drag their aprons over the food they are preparing. They don't wear gloves, they both have beards and don't wear hair nets. They lay buns on the disgusting counter, they lay cooking utensils on the counter, they lay all sorts of things on the counter but the counter is disgusting. <br/><br/>This place should be shut down.

Good prices & decent food!. I heard a lot about this place so a friend of mine & I decided to try it out. First thought walking in, it felt like a place where the "usuals" come & have for years. There isn't much room for seating but it works. It was a very relaxed environment despite the smell. I can't put a word for it but it wasn't pleasant. Ordering was quick & easy, food preparation was quick (you can watch them cook). They don't use fancy utensils more like your grandma cooking back home. The food was DELICIOUS! Would I visit again? Maybe not but it was nice to try out. The smell really got to me & I wouldn't say it's the cleanest place...referring to the ceiling, stove & etc. things that wouldn't pass inspection in my opinion but it's still a nice place.

Good food, good prices. A friend and I went here before a football game recently. The whole time we jokingly referred to it as "feet & cheese" (see another reviewer's comments about how he felt the place smelled).<br/><br/>We were pleasantly surprised. Is it the best breakfast food I've had? No. Does it beat the iHop down the street? Absolutely! We received good portions and the prices are outstanding (my coffee was a buck, which seems unheard of anymore). The place is very small, only about 8 small tables with a counter as well. I admit, it isn't the most spotless place in the world as it looks like it has been around for awhile, but it definitely fits the greasy spoon moniker. I would certainly recommend it for those in the mood for breakfast food (though I believe they have other items as well).

The Quintessential Greasy Spoon. If you have ever been to an old Wafflehouse, you know what to expect. The menu is expanded to include pancakes and chicken fried steak.

Great lil place in Stillwater. I've eaten breakfast very early in the morning at Shortcakes a couple of times in the last year and found the food and service to be very good.

You drunk?. Unless it is 3:00 in the morning and you are drunk as hell, this place is horrible. It is beyond filthy, and the food is greasy and gross. Somehow they even managed to make bad pancakes. If you care for cleanliness and food quality, miss this place.

Triple D!!!!. If Guy visited this place it would win greatest Dive ever. I love this place. It's such a beautiful dirty hole and the food will always fill you up for under ten bucks. They have daily specials. I'm not sure if they're trying to get rid of old food or if it's made special with fresh ingredients. What's so great about this place is that it doesn't matter. It's the greatest Dive ever.

24 hours!. I'm not as in love with the food as my friends are, but I'm in love with the 24 hoursness of the place. That lone, along with it being superior to IHOP and Denny's makes it worth a "like." That and it's cheap.

Yummmmmm. Shortcakes is not high class, it's not super clean, it's not gourmet food. Shortcakes is great service, a genuine diner and awesomely greasy diner food! Oh and CHEAP! It's painful buying coffee at other restaurants for $2 when shortcakes is only $0.40! This is legitimately one of my favorite places to eat in Stillwater, whether there's been alcohol consumed or not!

A Must try at Least Once. Shortcake is the best diner ever! I've lived in Stillwater all my life and had the honor of patronizing this place since I was a teenager. Shortcakes is super cheap and wonderful after-bar-food. It's open 24/7 and is best late late night. You must try this diner if you are ever in Stillwater in the middle of the night.

The quick version: horrible. Service was good, but food was not. I go places for the food. Ordered eggs and omelet that was swimming in butter, like drowning! Breakfast burrito was okay. Pancakes were strange texture and Minty. Sausage was ick. It would have been better if I was drunk and at 2am
