Dip Shack

Cowboy Dips & Chips is an original concept, first offered at Northeast Ohio’s famous Cowboy Food & Drink.  This new concept features mouth-watering sandwich Dips and crispy homemade Chips.  While new, the idea of Dips & Chips was years in the making. From original thoughts to reality, the ultimate goal has always been t o create the best, tastiest Dips and Chips offerings around.  After many renditions, taste tests and re-dos, these hearty, tasty Dips and flavored Chips were created, uniquely crafted to satisfy even the most selective palates of modern-day Cowboys and Cowgirls!
