Nestled in Historic Downtown Mabank Shorty's Soda Shop is a replica of the small town drug store many old timers remember from their youth. The furnishings are from the 1950-era and a lot of the menu items are too. There are lots of sandwiches like a BLT, Fried Bologna, Chicken Salad, Grilled Cheese and Corned Beef. You can also add chips to make a Shorty Basket. If you want something a little lighter, try the Stuffed Avocado or Tomato that can be filled with Chicken Salad, Tuna Salad, Shrimp Salad or Pimento Cheese. And of course there are fountain drinks, ice cream dishes, Banana Splits and Old Fashioned Ice Cream Sodas. Shorty's Soda Shop is at 111 E. Market St., Mabank, TX. 903-887-7632.
