Date night was wonderful at Hideout. They have the best drinks in town. Good portions. Ordered the lobster wonton flatbread, French onion soup and the fillet medallions. All were so good.

Shorty's Steakhouse is a unique dining experience. Established more than 20 years ago, along the historic Randolph Street in downtown Garrett, Indiana. Shorty's Executive Head Chef James Morrow has created & curated our menu over 10 years, carefully straddling the line of fine steakhouse dining, with small-town Indiana fare.

We are located in Garrett, Indiana, 10 minutes from the historic Auburn downtown and the ACD museum. Also, 20 minutes north of Fort Wayne, Indiana, 15 minutes from Kendallville, Indiana and 25 minutes south of Angola, Indiana. We love that we bring all these communities together at Shorty's.

See you soon!

Our dinners were delicious and overall we had a great experience. Our server Lexi was also the bartender so she was sometimes quite awhile getting back to us with our drinks and then again to take our dinner orders. But overall, Very Good!

We were three friends dining together and catching up. We were seated with the fireplace on one side and windows opposite of the table which was wonderful. The food was excellent and the young waitress, Mindy, was friendly and helpful. I would have liked a 4 oz. filet with a side but the only options offered came with seafood and I have an allergy that prevented that as my entree. Perhaps that could be a menu option in the future.

About the restaurant

Located in Roanoke, a charming, historic rural community in northeast Indiana (15 minutes from Ft. Wayne, 1.5 hours north of Indianapolis and 3 hours east of Chicago), Joseph Decuis is the showcase for local farm raised food, and is a gourmet experience to remember. Our menu features seasonal dishes with ingredients raised on our farm (and other like minded farms), creatively and artfully prepared by our Chefs. The heart of the restaurant is housed in an old bank building (the vaults are now wine cellars) where you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped back in time to a simpler way of life where time around the table meant something. You’ll enjoy a top-quality meal in quiet, comfortable surroundings with outstanding hospitality.

What an incredible evening here. I made the reservation for a celebration and was able to coordinate a toast upon arrival. The food was very good and Rochelle was wonderful to help navigate the wine list and dinner. She even showed us around the restaurant which was very interesting and appreciated. Thank you!
