"What a treat to find in Ely! Fontina cheese, mortadella, coppa, not the flavors I was expecting out of this little food truck! The Louie sandwich is phenomenal, so delicious. We also had the turkey pesto which was very good as well. I was also pleasantly surprised that the side was soup! Even on this hot summer day, it was delightful. We will be in the area more regularly and I'm excited to try more of the sandwiches offered!"

"“MmmMyGosh… Thish ish a really gooood sandwich”, mumbled as my mouth was stuffed with my first bite. We had the Turkey Pesto and the T-Bird. Both excellent and large. The bread is panini-toasty on the outside and soft on the inside. Flavorful and just the right amount of gooey. Tomato slices were thick and deep red and the other produce was fresh. Sandwiches come with a cup of soup - so great! Quick service, especially considering it’s a one-man show. Seems like most people roll up and take their meal to go. Would have appreciated some seating. But there’s a park just a short walk up the street to the west, and parking onsite to eat in your car. Google might direct you from the back side in which case it’s easy to miss. We’d be here a lot if we lived here."

"Food truck with fantastic sandwiches. Freshly grilled items on the hot sandwiches like chicken, flank steak. Mortadella. Each sandwich comes with a small side of housemade soup. The Double Dub is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. There is no seating but there is a park next door that's nice for sitting and eating. Definitely worth a stop!!"

"Heading into Ely, Nevada, my expectations of a culinary experience was not that high. Decided to give Shorty's a try. Wow, food was amazing. I got the Brutus and it was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Wife got the grilled cheese, which I'm normally not a fan of grilled cheese, but this one was amazing. Don't worry, there is some good food in this middle of nowhere town!"
