Navigating to Black Shoe Hospitality

Don't let the orange cones keep us apart.

The I-94 East-West Freeway Project is currently impacting the 68th Street ramps. While the construction is scheduled through 2028, reaching your favorite Black Shoe restaurants is still simple with a little planning.


Our kitchens are open, our teams are ready, and we've mapped out the best ways to get here.


💡 Pro-Tips for a Smooth Arrival

  • Allow Extra Time: We recommend adding 5–10 minutes to your typical travel time

  • Check the Map: While GPS apps are helpful, they don't always know the "hospitality shortcuts." Follow our guided routes above for the clearest path

  • We'll Wait for You: Stuck in a unexpected detour? Just give us a call! We'll gladly hold your reservation.

Questions? Give us a ring at any of our locations. We can't wait to see you!
