| - I discovered Cowtown Beef Shack this past summer as a friend of mine is absolutely obsessed with beef dips and she said that Cowtown legit has the best beef dip ever. Soo....after the dog park, we headed over.
Inside, its a cute little cozy place with a couple tables and some western decorations and in the summer time they have small tables outside. The menu is on the back wall, they have a handful of smoked meat options: pulled pork, smoked brisket, BBQ beef, beef cheddar, beef dip and only couple side options: potato salad, coleslaw. A cool option is that and if you weren't feelin' bread you could order the meat by ounce and mix it up! Add cheese, sauce or none which is nice if you're trying to eat cleaner.
MJ knew she wanted the beef dip and of course I had to try it as well - along with a side of coleslaw. The guys up front were super friendly and fast with our orders. We decided to sit outside to keep the pup company while we ate. The beef dip came with fresh roasted beef, onions, Provolone cheese and Au Jus for dipping. The bun that came with the beef dip was soft and clearly fresh while the meat and melted was just soooo succulent and melt in your mouth - DEEEEELICIOUS! The bread soaked up the au jus for the perfect combination. Heaven. The coleslaw side was fresh and light....everything was just perfect together.
Fresh local ingredients, soft baked fresh buns, succulent AAA Alberta beef and AB cheese.....no processed or preserved ingredients - WHAT MORE CAN YOU ASK FOR!?! The best!!!!! The only possible con is that if you live in the north, McKenzie Towne is quite the drive but I'd say its worth it! BUT! NOT FOR LONG! I saw a posting that Cowtown Beef Shack will be opening soon on 16th Avenue NW - GET EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
