We've grown and grown and exploded to this point where you're reading this right now and probably salivating. Our secret? It's not one, admittedly. The best ingredients is a big part. An unrelenting love of food is the other big part. Between those two, we think we pretty much have our burger bases covered. Turns out we also like people, though. We're not making these delicious, one-of-a-kind creations to not share them with our human species brethren. We hope to share them with you, in fact. And soon.

The sixteen foot bar was repurposed from the desk left in the building and the exterior shiplap, reused as interior finishing. The beauty and thoughtfulness of Japanese cuisine seemed like the perfect match for The Shortline. You will find innovative sushi rolls and handcrafted rice dishes. We are thrilled to bring The Shortline Sushi Bar to downtown Belvidere, Illinois. Welcome!
