I took my 3.5 year old here for a junior cooking class. I was a bit worried because the other students (5 years old) had been dropped off, but I had been planning to stay. Aaron and Amy were absolutely fine with that.
Shemwell's was gut rehabbed in February of '21. The counter, dining area and bathrooms are beautiful. The prices are reasonable. I had the pulled pork sandwich for $4.50. Nice to see some fresh investment in an otherwise neglected river town.
This was a bitter sweet trip. A final goodbye to my 94 year old grandmother. My grand kids were introduced to Shemwell's and the good traditional food. They loved the step back in time. I only wish they were open on Sunday's again. That is the time we usually hit Cairo and I miss eating and taking home food from Shemwell's. This is one of the great things about Cairo.
