TheChiShack

A south-side Chicago kid brought the authentic taste of the Windy City to the Colorado Western Slope, opening The Chi Shack in Gypsum to serve classic hot dogs and Italian beefs. The menu is designed to transport guests back to old Chicago, featuring signature items like the $8.25 Classic Chicago Dog, the $15.50 Italian Beef, and the $11.50 Ditka Polish. Guests can also enjoy the Shack and Cheese Dog, Italian Sausage Sandwiches, and sides such as French fries, cheese fries, and funnel cake fries. Combo meals pair these entrees with fries or funnel fries and a drink. The owner, who has worked in restaurants his whole life, emphasizes using only the freshest ingredients and treating every guest like family. Located at The Gypsum Market on US-6, the restaurant offers dine-in, take-out, and online ordering options, with hours from 11 am to 7:30 pm Tuesday through Saturday.
