Most Disliked
Some diners express a desire for more unique offerings, feeling that while Vassi's excels in comfort food, it doesn't push culinary boundaries. The range of desserts, although satisfying, leaves a few wishing for additional choices beyond the classic sundaes and milkshakes.
Crowds can be an issue, especially during peak hours on weekends. The bustling atmosphere may detract from the dining experience for some, making it challenging to find seating. Those accustomed to dining during quieter times may find the rush a bit overwhelming, particularly for evening meals.

This is an older review, from an experience I had in February 2024, that I forgot to post. Ooopsies. Anyway, what a cute spot! I was driving from western Maryland back to NYC and needed to make a pit stop and eat a proper meal. I thought I'd go with the vegetarian gyro -- minus fries -- because I'm a middle-aged woman watching my nutritional intake but also, I asked the young man at the counter what he orders. "Burger. The beef is local. I mean...it's the best." So yup: I got a burger with all the fixings, plus extra pickles and onions because if I'm gonna burger I'm gonna burger. Fries of course LOL. Loved my meal. Still talk about this burger to this day: one of the best I've ever had! I found the restroom to be spotless on an early Monday evening. I'd image on weekends or evenings, when the establishment is slammed, restroom upkeep is difficult. Here's an idea: why don't we just clean up after ourselves? Like we do at home. At least I hope we all do tidy up after producing bodily waste because anything else is crazy. And gross. Clean up the mess you make. Simple. Final thoughts on my meal: I live in a city so the price was extremely reasonable. And if seeing a sign that invites us to consider systemic social and economic injustice upsets anyone, go to another restaurant. There are plenty of them out there. As for me, I think it's time for another visit. Looking forward to it! Yum!

My son and I just had the Vassi's Patty Melt. It was by far the BEST burger we've ever had. Bread perfect, meat perfect, topings perfect. Totally blown away at how delicious it was. Perfect size too, not feeling stuffed after eating it. No fries required. Wow, this will be my go to when I want a burger.

We were making a stop at the Lost Caverns on our way home from the Poconos, and we had some time before our tour. Plus, it was around lunchtime, and we came across this place right off of the highway exit. Easy to get into and park, and the food was great. There were 5 of us, and between the group, we ordered the patty melt, gyro, burger, and chicken fingers. All the options were great, and everyone enjoyed what they got. It's definitely a great stop for food if you are in the area.

Nothing particularly unique, but great, satisfying, comfort food. We bought the cheesesteak sandwich, NY gyro, and a Dubai sundae, and enjoyed our meals.

The best and easiest stop right off I-78. We had the chicken breast pita and it was delicious! The pita bread was super fresh and the chicken juicy. Highly recommend! And don’t forget the onion rings. Hot and crispy! Yum!

A perfect little place for a quick bite. You can grab and go at the takeout window or relax at a booth inside. Their gyros are amazing! Made fresh as you wait with top quality ingredients and served hot. The French fries are crisp with a buttery smooth inside and seasoned perfectly. I love the nostalgia they have throughout the dining room. Takes you back to a simpler time. The staff have always been friendly and the food is prepared in a timely manner. Definitely a spot to check out if you’re local or swing by while in town. Great food, great people. Pricing is reasonable too.

My son and I were visiting Lehigh and needed somewhere we could get something quick. Vassi’s came up on Google maps and had good reviews so we gave it a shot. Initially as we walked in I noticed how clean it was then we were immediately greeted by a super friendly young. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich but omitted the bun and my son ordered 2 hot dogs. Food is made to order but even with that we didn’t wait too long. It also wasn’t crazy busy at the time we went and they do have a sign that asks patrons to be patient since it is made to order. I took one bite of the chicken and looked at my son and said it was the best chicken I’ve ever had at a take out restaurant. Honestly, I feel like it was far better than any sit down restaurant. It was a sizable portion of chicken that was hot, juicy and tasted great. Not bland or dry like most places. My son said the hot dogs were equally as great and he devoured them in a couple of minutes. The food was just AMAZING. I now see why this place is rated so well. Highly recommend.
