Got takeout. The brisket was very moist, on the good side of what can be gotten in this region. The baked beans y'all! Not traditional, definitely sweet, but I would go back just for a side of beans. read more

We were happy to hear The Wicked Chef had reopened. Gobbler sandwich made from fresh ground turkey breast, roasted red peppers and roasted balsamic tomatoes, was good. Housemade baked beans had delicious smoky flavor. Twisted Salad was made with green and red cabbage and delicious housemade dressing. Wish them much success. read more

Very friendly folks, the BBQ was so delicious,! I'd go back even thought I'm not a fan of many sandwiches. This is a great spot if you're in the area. read more

First time there this week & I'll definitely return! The potato pancakes were perfect! Crispy outside & soft deliciousness inside. A nice generous portion & the homemade applesauce was delicious! My cousin had The Poban & it was a generous, delicious sandwich. They offer a punch card for the potato pancakes & then you get a free serving after 10 punches I'm excited to return & try another sandwich & more potato pancakes! read more

Was working in the area & owed a good buddy lunch, so YELP ratings were good, figured we give it a shot. What a great decision!!!!! I ordered the Pork Quesadilla. The guy working told me if it wasn't the best I've had he would buy the next one. I was so looking forward to going back there & telling him he owes me. Can't, HE WAS RIGHT!! 3/4" thick, crispy, pork, salsa, sourcream no flop Quesadilla. My Buddy said he loved his samich, & my GF Mojo Samich was Great as well. Really enjoyed the Red onions & Wicked pickles on the Mojo. Sided with the baked beans. So Happy we tried it out, & we will be back, purchasing another Quesadilla for sure. Thx read more

Driving through and found The Wicked Chef on Yelp. What a great find! It's a sandwich shop in a small strip mall, not a white tablecloth kind of place which was fine with us. We shared the Twisted Chicken sandwich and a Cobb Salad. The sandwich was fabulous; most notably the combination of roasted tomatoes and blue cheese gave the delicious chicken a savory, saucy and rich flavor. I told the chef (he didn't seem wicked to me) that he could put those tomatoes on cardboard and I'd eat them. The salad was fine: lettuces, cukes, tomatoes, croutons and a halved hard boiled egg (requested no onions). Ken's salad dressings. Back to the Sando, it was really good! So worth the couple of miles off the highway to find. Service was super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend. read more

A good sandwich at a reasonable price, i will be back. Turkey, brisket made fresh and delivered promptly. read more

Tucked away across the road from Steel Fitness, you're buffered from the traffic. Max occupancy is 29 people, so it's not a big place. What IS big is the flavor and the hospitality. We had the OMG (three cheeses and roasted tomatoes) and the Fat Sully (brisket and fried onions) with one side each of beans and coleslaw. We also split the potato pancakes which come with sour cream and homemade applesauce. Next time, I think we might split a sandwich and a salad. First of all, the portion sizes are generous to put it mildly. Show up hungry or ready to share/take leftovers home. Second, the flavors are great. The barbecue sauce is vinegar based and it really brought out the brisket very well. Last, they're extremely friendly and really care if you like your food. We'll definitely be back and I suggest you give them a try! read more

Wow!!! We ordered takeout for 3 adults. All of us are big eaters. The sandwiches were HUGE! We could not finish even half of the food. We ate half our sandwiches. And will keep the rest for lunch tomorrow. We ordered a brisket nachos to share and barely touched it because there was so much food! But EVERYTHING was delicious! I'm not even kidding! It was so good! My husband said the server was super and very friendly! We each got the beans with our sandwiches and we all loved them! They are more of a tomato based baked bean but very good. The place was clean and the kitchen looked great from the counter. We will definitely be back! Pleasantly surprised by this little gem! read more

This is a great place--it's sparkling clean, has a relaxed atmosphere, has really wonderful, attentive staff and fantastic food! Portions are generous and flavorful. THE BEST potato pancakes are right here! We've tried different entrees and everything is just superb. They have a food truck, too so visit them on Cetronia Road or follow them when they are on the road! read more

The last time we ate here was pre- covid. I was thrilled to see it hasn't changed. Not only were the sandwiches delicious, they were HUGE! We will definitely be going again soon and telling our friends. read more

Out of towner's - randomly stopped for dinner. Chef(assuming owner) and staff were super friendly. Helped us with the menu. We were really hungry after a long hike. Food was really good, portions are really good and the price is really fair for the amount of food. I liked everything. I personally like thicker bbq sauce than the juice they provided. It was good but not my style. Not sure if that is something you have to ask for but for my taste it would have made the experience just that much better. Regardless- a great find in your town. Thanks again. read more

Nice store and nicer people behind the counter. Food is always good and I have yet to be disappointed by any option. And the ambiance is good for take out or dine read more

I ordered the fat Sally (brisket sandwich) and the potato pancakes for my daughter and it was delicious. Yes it was for my daughter, but the portions in this place are fairly generous. The owner looks like a very nice veteran (I guess). The place is clean and welcoming. Prices are decent. read more

The proprietor is very friendly, the food is amazing. The coleslaw is a mustard coleslaw, new to me, but delicious. The beans are absolute perfection. Definitely recommend! read more

Delicious & creative food. Friendly service. I'd like to try everything on the menu! My neighbors drive by and don't realize it. I need to take them. read more

Amazing food and even better service! Everything we tried was amazing and the portions were massive so it's absolutely worth the price!

A friend recommended The Wicked Chef to me and boy was she right!!! It's an unassuming but very clean spot (you can see into the kitchen). Everything is fresh and made to order. It was so good I couldn't stop eating to snap a pic. I had an OMG (and really I did!) and my husband had the twisted chicken. He says he will dream about it. read more

What a great find! Everything was very fresh and the chef himself came out to check on all the customers dining in to see how we liked the food. Apparently most things are made inhouse (including their pickles and chips) and that definitely shined through their food! Portions are huge and the hand cut and fried chips that come with the sandwiches are like crack...you can't stop eating them! It's slightly hidden in a sleepier plaza but please don't miss this place!! It is absolutely delicious and a gem to find! read more

The Wicked Chef - A chicken sandwich that was HUGE AND DELICIOUS - Pop-Up Restaurants Near Me - Allentown, Pennsylvania

Potato pancakes had too much pepper. Served on styrofoam container. Plastic spoons and forks. Service is good. Brisket sandwich sounds appealing. I think takeout is best. read more

Just gotta go there! The menu is incredible, I couldn't decide. Picked the pulled pork sandwich. Yummy, as good as down south!! Mom & Pop behind the counter, love it, support them please read more

Food was as amazing as the staff 10 out of 10 would recommend to everyone and definitely coming back

Amazing food, amicable service, clean and friendly ambiance. Very fortunate to have this in close proximity.

living at the complex behind it... we finally have an eatery right outside the complex. sandwiches are so good and always full. potato pancakes deserve a round of applause. need the food truck soon!!!! read more

Delicious food! I had the Mojo sandwich with coleslaw. There was a hearty helping of meat on a yummy bun. I don't usually order coleslaw, but I figured it had to be good, and I was not disappointed! The owners were very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely return to try some other menu items. read more

Sadly, this great small business did not make it during the pandemic. It was nice while it lasted.

Even though this place is a bit out of the way for me, I have been there 4 times in the past month. The food is studpendous, and very reasonably priced. Everything is made from scratch... John even stuffs his own Kielbasi. My favorite dish is the Potato pancakes (3 GIANT ones for 6.95), seriously the best I have ever tasted (Sorry mom!). And the homemade applesauce increased the level of enjoyment. The Blackened Prime Rib Sandwich (12.95) was similarly awesome...Blackened prime rib served with balsamic roasted tomatoes, arugula, fried onions, on a ciabatta roll with an apricot sour cream spread on it. The German Potato salad had larger pieces of potato in it than usual, but the taste was exactly like I remember my great-grandmother serving us in Germany. Absolutely the best German Potato salad I have had in the US. The Smoked Chicken Wings (10.95) tossed with a sweet and spicy jalapeno plum sticky glaze, and the Gobbler (9.95) fresh ground turkey mixed with smoked gouda and roasted red peppers on a brioche with mayo, arugula, and Roma tomatoes are also among my favorites. I have had a couple of dishes that were merely good, in my opinion, but that is the worst I can say. The chef is pleasant to talk to and always accomodating. This place is a true hidden gem. Just beware, it does close by 3:00 or 6:00 pm depending on the day. read more

My friend and I tried this place for the 1st time mid-day on a Sunday. The place is nice and clean, and the sandwiches were delicious and huge! A nice variety of thick meaty sandwiches as well as some vegetarian dishes like mac & cheese. I'm lookin forward to going back and trying some of the other items on the menu. Word of warning.. be prepared to take home part of your meal (or share one) read more

My husband and I ate at Wicked chef twice, I ordered the Poban both times, the first time was my favorite! The first time I ordered this it was great, very well balanced of pork to sauerkraut. The second time I ordered it I didn't even taste the sauerkraut,.....I love sauerkraut and their sauerkraut is awesome, so really wanted a better balance. Also the last time I was there I asked for extra Russian dressing on the side, it is awesome and definitely homemade but I was charged $1.99 for extra sauce! Overall very nice place, food overall is good and made from scratch! read more

Was there for the first time, food and service was good but a bit pricy. It is tucked away in a small mall off the beaten path. I don't think I would go out of my way. Definitely check it out. Enjoy! read more

Stopped by for lunch take out and John greeted me with cheerful energy and fantastic food! I ordered the Poban sandwich and He confidently stated he knew I would be back because he stands behind the quality and deliciousness of his food and boy was he was 100% correct. On top of that he was very appreciative of my business and genuinely happy to provide good food for my lunch and very friendly. read more

Found this place while looking for a quick lunch. I ordered the Schantz. It was very good! Pulled pork was very juicy and tender. I will deffinetly eat here again when in the area. To top it all off they make there own potato chips that were perfect! Nice, light and crispy. Also didn't overload them salt! read more

Great gourmet sandwiches and sides. Smoked Carolina pork was just right seasoning with homemade chips. One sandwich is a lot of food! Made from scratch sides looked good - will try next time. Owners are friendly. The "wicked" name comes from chef's schooling in Rhode Island. read more

Dont miss this place! Had a great experience here. Great menu with a lot of diversity. Had a beautiful chicken sandwich with fresh mozzarella, portobellos, and red peppers. Owners were super friendly and the place had a wonderful family atmosphere. Only feedback is it would be nice to have plates or baskets for dine in customers instead of boxes. read more

Amazing food, awesome customer-friendly staff, fantastic atmosphere... stop reading and just go. Forget your favorite eateries and make thIs your go to "external kitchen". read more

Food was ok. I felt like the flavors were there but something was missing in the taste to give it that wow factor or to say it's worth what i spent. I may go back but not a top priority read more

Delicious food! Poban was great, mac and cheese outstanding. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff.

Excellent food, great service. All homemade! So glad we stopped in and we will definitely be back!

We pass The Wicked Chef almost everyday and finally gave it a try yesterday. Only regret is we waited so long to try their food. Ordered the Poban and my with tried the MOJO. Both of us loved the sandwiches. Good portions but not heavy at all. Reasonably priced. One of the best delis we experienced in this area. We found our new order out place and can't wait to try other options on the menu. Also, food came in paper containers not plastic. Service was very friendly and appreciative of our business. It was great to hear a "Thank You" with meaning. read more

Pretty expensive for what we got. And I didn't like eating out of a Styrofoam container at the table. But the service was fast and friendly. read more
