Yocco's The Hot Dog King — Restaurant in Allentown

08212022 6:56 PM Stopped in to get a quick burger. The friendly young lady waited on me and got my burger and water, and the young lady said something to her friend like, "I feel like cleaning something, I'm going to clean all this down here under the register" I almost fell over😂 I am 63 years old and never heard anybody in fast food say something like that. I told her I had a store in the Lehigh Valley mall 40 years ago and I had a sign that said, "when there is time to lean there is time to clean". (E Werely 10 1974 Whitehall Mall ) She said, "we say that here too". I almost fell over again. Her parents did a good job, and they have great, let me repeat that, "great" management at this and all the other stores. If all of her age group had the same work ethic the United States would be in good shape. We are going through a demographic shift that's going to change our economy. She will be a leader 10 years from now, I guarantee it!🇺🇸

2019 This place is great. The staff is friendly, and work hard. Every time I go in here, it brings back memories of a half a century ago, (Big black Seaburg speakers, playing Diana Ross and the Supremes) at the liberty Street store. A lot of good times with family and friends. Keep it up!!! I had an uncle who lived in Puerto Rico, and when I picked him up from Newark airport, this is the first place we...

Today, 4/22/21, I visited for lunch for my family since we haven’t been here in a while. Yocco’s West has always been our favorite spot for hot dogs. I ordered 4 hot dogs, 2 with ketchup, and 2 with cheese... there was the most minuscule amount of cheese or ketchup I’ve ever seen, and none of our hot dogs were cooked. I couldn’t even eat half of my hot dog, and my boyfriend couldn’t eat his second. The hot dogs were chewy, and undercooked for being a place that promotes a well done hot dog. The service was horrible, minus the beautiful hearted cashier (who stated has a daughter that turns one soon). I ordered two drinks and corrected myself when I ordered the wrong one before she started pouring, and the woman still gave me the wrong drink. I nicely said “I’m so sorry I thought you heard the cashier, I said I needed a sprite instead!” And the petite girl with brown hair gave me a literal death stare while she was repouring it. Their sign screams amazing customer service, but today I didn’t receive that. I’ve worked in customer service since I was 16 years old, and this is not how you greet your customers. I usually love this spot, but we will never be back after today. What a...

For reasonable price, fast and friendly service, and delicious food, this is a clear five star. Now, if you are expecting linen tablecloths and recipes with French names as your definition of five star, you will want to pass. This is hot dogs and diner food served on a tray, but, man, it was delicious. We stopped and got two dogs with everything (chili sauce, mustard, and chopped onions in a dream of a steamed bun), a side of pierogis, and chocolate milk, and we left happy and full. We'll, my wife may have gone back for another side of pierogis, and THEN we were full. This review is not for anyone in Allentown because you already know how good Yocco's is, but, if you haven't been and are coming through the area, make a plan to stop. Plenty of parking and very accessible, with options for speci dietary needs available. From the vibe to the staff to most importantly the delicious food, I'd put this with the fanciest of Michelin star restaurants in true...
