The bill, H. 4023, is a concurrent resolution recognizing and honoring Shorty's Grill in Loris, South Carolina, for its decades of service as a beloved culinary institution. Owned and managed by the Conner family for over forty years, Shorty's Grill has become a central gathering spot for locals, offering a menu that features all-day breakfast, lunch, and dinner, including signature items like chicken bog and hand-cut French fries. The restaurant, originally named Loris Lunch and Pool Room, was purchased by David "Shorty" Conner and his wife, Betty, in 1979, and has since maintained a loyal customer base, with some patrons visiting as often as six days a week.
The resolution expresses the General Assembly's appreciation for Shorty's Grill's significant contributions to the community and highlights the restaurant's unique atmosphere, which includes a game room that has been preserved for nostalgic reasons. The bill concludes with a provision to present a copy of the resolution to the Conner family, acknowledging their dedication to providing quality food and Southern hospitality to the residents of Loris.
