It is a burger place with a great bar. What else could you ask for in a place that has "burger" in the name? Unfortunately there is no longer a "shine", but historically there was on the building.

One of, if not the best burgers in Iowa City. A decent value for the quality of the hamburger. Would have rated 5 stars, but the cheese curds appetizers were overcooked and greasy.
Short's Burger & Shine opened in September of 2008. We feature food and drink produced, grown, baked, and brewed in the State of Iowa. As native Iowans we are proud to show the creativity and hard work of our fellow Iowans. Our beef is from a farm in Columbus Junction and processed in Riverside at Bud's Custom Meats. The beef is dry-aged for at least 14 days before it is ground daily for us. The buns are baked with no preservatives or eggs, by a couple from Des Moines. Our black bean burgers and all sauces are made in-house. We were the first to carry all Iowa breweries on tap and continue to feature the best breweries in the state.
