Short's Burger & Shine

Burger Restaurant with 30 Local Iowa Beers on Tap In the year 1920, one Mr. H.D. Short, flung these doors wide and welcomed his first customer.

For 50 years, Short’s Shoe Shine sent many a shoe out onto South Clinton Street buffed to a high mirror shine. Today, through the graces of the Short family, we aim to introduce a new sort of shine, while borrowing an old Short’s motto: Expert Workmen · Best Materials Used · Prompt Service. We feature fresh, never frozen, black Angus beef from local farmer Ed Smith of Columbus Junction. Our fries

are hand-cut daily, seasoned to perfection, and make the perfect accompaniment to any of our gourmet burgers, or homemade black bean burgers. At the bar, all thirty of our draft lines are dedicated to the finest Iowa craft beers and cider. We devote one draft line to up and coming Iowa breweries and the rest draw local favorites such as Millstream, Peace Tree, Sutliff Cider, and Court Avenue. Stop on by and taste for yourself these great Iowa creations!

Phi Sigma Pi National Honor Fraternity is an inclusive organization
promoting lifelong learning, inspiring Members to lead, and creating
lasting bonds. This fraternity is built on three ideals- scholarship,
leadership, and fellowship. These three ideals help guide our chapter
and the members to contribute to our campus and community members. One
way we do this is through social service in which we help small and
