For all the food lovers in Chapin, there’s some fantastic news on the horizon! A new restaurant, popularly dubbed The Shack, is getting ready to open its doors at 1250 Chapin Rd. This exciting development comes as a delightful replacement for the beloved Zesto of Chapin, which closed its doors after an impressive 18-year run.
Meet the Hendersons
Bringing a fresh new culinary perspective to Chapin are Glen and Janee Henderson, who made the move from England to this charming town in 2021. The duo is eager to infuse their love for food and community into The Shack, creating a perfect dining spot for families, friends, and all food enthusiasts.

From classic pizza to healthy dishes, it seems The Shack will cater to various tastes and cravings.

A Taste of England
Among the offerings, foodies can expect some dishes that showcase an English flair, providing a special twist that celebrates the Hendersons’ heritage. This is set to be a fun culinary adventure that will delight Chapin locals and visitors alike!
Seating and Atmosphere
The Shack will boast a cozy indoor seating capacity of about 60, giving families and friends plenty of room to gather and enjoy their meals together. Additionally, diners can unwind at the nine-seat bar or take advantage of extra outdoor seating options during warm days. With a slogan that proudly states “Awesome Food. Lake Attitude,” it’s clear that this place aims to promote a casual, family-friendly vibe where everyone can feel right at home.
Setting the Scene with Style
To enhance the lake ambiance, the interior design will incorporate charming shack-like decor that reflects the laid-back atmosphere. Adding an artistic touch to the establishment, the Crooked Creek Art League will create a stunning mural on the side of the building, further enriching the dining experience.
