Stopped in on a Sunday after being on the lake. Attached to the brewery, its a nice spot to hang out. I will say that seating was very limited inside, but a small patio outside made up for it. Go to the counter and order, they will give you a buzz when your food is ready. We found out that there is a different menu on Sundays so the items we wanted were not available. We tried the pretzel bites, they were good, pretty standard really. I have the Shack Burger and Fries. both were great. The burger was a smash variety, great toppings and a special sauce really complemented this burger well. The fries were hand cut and had good flavor, I personally would have liked them a bit crisper, but that's a not the style they were presenting. overall, I'd go back and try their regular menu.

This review has been a long time in the making.When Chef Shack opened, I was thrilled to have a new food spot in the Buckeye Lake area-- there really isn't enough out here.As a regular at the Buckeye Lake Brewery, which Check Shack is attached to, it seemed like a clutch new option.Now I'll tell you that this review is going to get worse before it gets better.The first time we ate it, my dining partner got food poisoning from the fish n chips. The next time we dared to venture, about a year later, another dining partner got sick from: you guessed it, the fish n chips.After that, I didn't go to Chef Shack again until the beginning of this year out of fear and principle (yes, the options are so sparse that eventually I thought "3rd times a charm, right?").Well, the 3rd time was a charm. and so was the 4th and 5th.The fries are killer, burgers are solid, and my personal favorite is the fried pickle. This is unlike any other fried pickle you have had-- it's a pickle spear smeared with cream cheese, drizzled in mustard, and wrapped in salami, and then all of that is stuffed inside of a wonton and deep fried-- so it looks like a XL egg roll, but tastes like fried Italian sandwich heaven. I also love their coney dogs! As embarrassing as it is to admit that I love any hotdog, as an Ohio native and Cinci-born Skyline chili aficionado, I'm shouting it to the Yelp hills for all my fellow coney-lovers. To be honest, if it weren't for the first 2 awful experiences, it would be a 5 star review. Just skip the fish n chips.

The Chef Shack was a nice surprise! It's elevated bar food. We got the fish and chips, fish tacos, kettle chips with onion dip, and a fried pickle to try. The fish was battered so well, everything tasted fresh. Fresh cut fries. The kettle chips and onion dip were AMAZING. We got one of the fried pickles to split and try. It was wrapped in meat and was really different. I don't love a fried pickle but the crunch made this really pop. You order at the counter and can go into the brewery, enjoy a beer, and eat your food there. The woman helping us checkout was super friendly. We haven't been to many places in the area, but we'll definitely be back to the Chef Shack!

Chef Shack is located inside Buckeye Lake Brewery. Walk up to the counter and order, you'll be given a buzzer for when your order is ready to pick up. I ordered chicken wings (hot) they were deep-fried and un-breaded. The sauce lacked flavor. Ordered the NY Style Hotdog. The hotdog was perfect and all-beef. Mustard and Kurt were nothing special, poppyseed bun was ok. Pretzel bites! Winning. Everything you want from a pretzel bit.

Chef Shack shares a wall and some open seating with Buckeye Lake Brewery. However, technically they have their own space and do in fact have their own kitchen on their side. Tried their homemade crab cakes with a side salad. Their salads are pretty big. Everything is served in the silver foil circle containers. The salad filled that entire area. Fresh tomatoes and cheese topped it. I was impressed with the crab cakes. Pretty meaty and good flavor. The seasoning(s) used complemented well. These are made fresh the morning of, and you could tell - no freezer taste. I got one of their chocolate turtle brownies to take home for dessert (apparently also made in-house). It was pretty sweet, I only ate a few bites. I'll just stick with a protein and veggies for now. Service was fast and friendly. I'm not around Buckeye Lake very often, but I'll keep Chef Shack in mind for the foreseeable future.

Excellent food! It pairs greatly when grabbing a beer at the brewery. Burgers, tacos, sides are all top notch.

This place was phenomenal. We came to buckeye lake for the winery and stopped here since it's attached to buckeye lake brewery. The shack burger and fries was one of the best burgers and fries I've had in Ohio. Staff was kind and attentive. Highly recommended.

Eat Greek is now on our FIRST CHOICE list for Greek food! Small, family atmosphere. Food is prepared right behind the counter where you can see them cook!We've been there twice, and both times the folks were friendly and patient in explaining menu items when asked. The only suggestion would be that fresh mushrooms (as opposed to can mushroom) be used for mushroom pie.

Chef Shack is one of our favorites, the wings, coney dog, fries (flat or handcut) are great, and the pretzel bites are the best. Burgers are great too! We love the patio and grabbing a cold beer next door.
