| - Hard to believe I haven't yet reviewed Shanghai Cowgirl - when you're craving comfort food (which I always seem to be, even though I could easily make it myself. What, my stove hasn't been turned on in months!) this is the place to go. They have an entire menu section called "Things Mom Used To Make" that includes liver and onions, ghetto chicken, chili, perogies and the like.
I had a monstrously delicious grilled cheese, but before I describe it I have a confession to make: when I order grilled cheese, I prefer it to be on regular white bread. No weird seedy breads with nuts and husks in them and please no Texas Toast. I want to be able to fit the f**ker in my mouth, thank you.
So when I saw the words "triple decker" I feared for my life, but mercifully Shanghai Cowgirl uses good ol' white bread and my sandwich was more than manageable. Which was ideal, cause I tried to stuff the whole damn thing in my mouth at once. Spicy havarti, jalapeno mayo spread and avocado. Can it get any better?? No. (Well yes, it could have if the fries had been anything but forgettable. But that's another story) At $8.95 it was a little spendy but so, so worth it
You wouldn't know it by the main diner's decor, but there's a beautiful and secluded back patio with lovely wooden benches and more than enough room for large groups. And the sweethearts even take reservations!
