A great sandwich is a wonderful thing. Just like the late Warren Zevon said to David Letterman in his own version of "carpe diem": "Enjoy every sandwich". There is a lot of truth to this statement; life is short, and it is important to take pleasure in the everyday things - such as a truly great sandwich. To that end, you MUST visit the CowTown Beef Shack!
If I am traveling north on Macleod Trail and feeling {very} hungry, this is my go-to spot. Menu is pretty much all sandwiches (surprise!), but they are great ones - philly cheesesteak; pulled pork; and a few other "Stampede" type sandwiches, albeit infinitely better than the crap you buy on the Midway. I've had some great sandwiches in my life, but for their genre, CowTown's are just about perfect. Staff is fun, friendly and laid-back.
My only very minor complaint is that I wish they had a few more picnic tables (a la Peter's Drive In) - these wondrous sandwiches are too messy to eat in your car (another sign of an amazing sandwich).
I had to think about it a bit, but I think CowTown deserves a five star rating! Don't just drive by next time, stop in to visit!
