If you want high-quality meat sandwiches at an affordable price range this is the only place in Calgary. I will drive 30min+ out of my way to get a sandwich at cowtown. Every type of meat here is on point. My favorite definitely has to be the beef dip, the Au-jus is the best I have tasted in the city with a deep savory flavor. The meat is always juicy, tender, and full of flavor. I have also tried everything else on the menu and never been disappointed. The smoked meat has that quality of a southern bbq shack that has been going for 30+ years. They have the technique for roasting and smoking meat down. I need to find where they source their baguettes from because they are also delicious and have the fresh baked flavor every time.
The only gripe I have about this place is with service. It's always friendly but seems slow. It doesn't have that flying off the wall feel that most good bbq places have, and the toasting method is inefficient and can lead to backups. Definitely not a reason to avoid going, though.
If you're in the mood for an amazing meat sandwich cowtown definitely has you covered.
