Good lunch spot

by ptmatthews at Citysearch

I work close to Shelby's and about once or twice a month some of us go there for a burger. Their swiss and mushroom burger is one of the best I've had., and I've never heard anyone complain about their food. The atmosphere is a little divey, so if you don't like divey, you might not like the place. Lunchtime waitresses are very friendly and very good at their job. I have not been there after work, so cannot speak to that, but recommend the place for lunch.

• Pros: great burgers
• Cons: a little divey inside

good cheap drinks

I LOVE this bar. My Friends and I go to Shelby's for happy hour all the time. They have an early happy hour and even a late night happy hour. You can't go wrong with 2 for 1 beers and double tall drinks. I usually have around 6 beers during happy hour for under $10 ( I live within walking distance). It's hard to find a family owned business these days. Most places downtown are owned by major corporations. BTW Ben is not the owner.

• Pros: strong cheap drinks. Fun palce
• Cons: parking

Great place to get no service

I would love to be able to tell you about the food or drink at Shelby's, but our group experience there didn't allow any. We walked in to find a fairly empty establishment early on a Friday evening and claimed a table. After several attempts at getting the bartenders attention, and failing, we returned to the table to wait, and wait, and wait for a waitress to notice. Little good that did.

Upon making use of their facilities before leaving the place, we discovered them to be unsanitary and, well, a little scary.

To top it all off, as we walked out the door, the bartender had the nerve to say, "Thanks for coming in! Hope to see you again soon!"

Unlikely.

• Pros: Convenient location
• Cons: Terrible service, dingy surroundings, unclean
