I just ordered a double hamburger with fried onions and jalapeño and it was incredible! They even sliced the onion and jalapeño together and put between the burgers so the bun didn't get soggy! Great job! read more

Absolutely everything I love about a retro ice cream spot under one roof. While visiting family in the area, we stopped by for some delicious soft serve. Twist is my favorite and my son chose a hot fudge sundae. Everything was great! It was so fun to stop by and make memories while on vacation!! read more

Stating at the hotel next door. Old time drive in, independently owned. Clean & fast. Biggest Gyro I've ever had.

While traveling for work in Allentown, Pennsylvania, my colleague suggested we stop at Vassi's Drive-In, and it turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. We kept it simple with burgers, hot dogs, and fries, and everything was cooked well and hit the spot. The young man at the counter was very helpful and informative, and we really appreciated that they brought the food right out to our table when it was ready. It has that classic, historic drive-in feel, and it's definitely worth a stop if you're in the Allentown area. Highly recommended for a casual, nostalgic bite. read more

While in Pennsylvania I came across Vassi's Drive in where there's gyros and Philly cheesesteak in the restaurant on the back and an Ice cream store on the front. Although I didn't get to try the ice cream I did opt in for a gyro. The order took a while to come out, but was hot and the Taziki sauce was seasoned well, but they could put a little more on the gyro. Also, the meat was sliced a little too thin, which made it a little dry once they put it on the grill. If I returned to Vassi's it would be to try the Philly cheesesteak and the ice cream because the Gyro was not a favorite at this location.. read more

Recommended to stop here for lunch before heading to the Lost River Caverns which is 5 minutes away. They don't have a website and the menu online shows limited offerings. I made sure to take and post their current menu so you can see all that they offer. Seems like a family operation and they were so sweet and hardworking. The food was all really good and fresh! Their homemade falafels were excellent and their burgers were local beef and compared to shake shack quality. I saw that they had a spit for those who ordered gyros. The hersheys hard ice cream was also a lovely touch to the local community. The only thing I'll say is that their portions are smaller -- so if you have a big appetite, no judgment in ordering two burgers. Plenty of parking in their lot. Loved it here! read more

I love Vassi's for a quick informal lunch or dinner. They have great burgers, hotdogs, and more. It's always great service and food. Inside is low key dining, but is always clean. They have excellent choices for ice cream for those of you that have a sweet tooth. Don't feel like making dinner or lunch or you just don't have time? Vassi's is your spot to fix that problem. read more

Blah, the food is ok. Nothing to write home to Mom about. Also, the menu online and they go are totally different. I advised them about it and it's still not changed. read more

Popped in off the hwy as I noticed it. Hmm gyro ... Thought, Lmc it out. Had the mix bowl. Tasty 3 meats with salad and rice / filling and good value. Looks like a dive but those can be some of the best places to eat it! Def check it out! read more

This place just has a cool greasy spoon feel to it and I totally love it. Everything we ate was just absolutely delicious and cooked to order. I highly recommend this place and will be coming back to try some desserts for sure. FYI this isn't McDonalds so don't expect food quickly but they def do their best to get your food to you asap. read more

2 soft serve sundae's, 6.70 each. I understand there's tax but the bill was 15.10. I'm no genius but they overcharged us. Made one sundae and I asked for a lid. As she was putting the lid on she said sorry we're out of the right size lids and proceeded to put a to small lid in my ice cream. Made the second one and said we're having trouble finding whipped cream. While they searched the first sundae turned into soup. They couldn't find any whipped cream so oh-well, we're out of luck. 15.10 for a bowl of soupy ice cream and an unfinished sundae. Sorry Vassie's, you lost customers today. read more

Vassi's Drive In - Two lousy sundae's - Burgers Near Me - Hellertown, Pennsylvania

I was traveling for a wedding and looking for a quick eatery. I saw the reviews on this location and felt it was worth a shot. The building is that old school run down spot so I knew I like it. Ordering was easy, food was quick. Fries were really good. Great flavor. Gyro was average. It's coming from my Greek heritage so I have standards lol. The fried fish sandwich my wife had was really good. Better than my gyro. I would come back for that fish. My son also enjoyed the fries. The location def needs some love and care. Its worn down. I likely won't return to this area anytime soon but I strongly suggest making a trip to this location. Fish sandwich is a definite try and the fries are awesome. read more

Vassi's Drive In - Burgers Near Me - Hellertown, Pennsylvania

I stopped here for lunch while I'm vacation cuz my wife was really interested in the police. Is right off the interstate and has a decent sized parking lot so it was easy to get to and parking was no problem. We ordered inside and our food came out fairly quickly. We've gotten to California burgers, and a side of cheese fries with chili. I thought the burgers were really good and the cheese fries were great and all I could think about was do they sell the chili as a side to just eat on its own. The staff here was super friendly and they brought the food outside to you if you were waiting there. My wife said it reminded her like a Stewart's root beer place. Outdoor seating you can likely eat your car no one's going to stop you and I'll walk up the window to order. All in all it was a great place to stop for lunch and I wouldn't hesitate to stop again if I was passing by. read more

came in the clutch! we stopped off for some wendy's, but then saw this! had to change our minds.. we got french fries a gyro and a chili dog. all really good! the gyro was great I stuffed my french fries on it all it was missing was some feta but i'm a snob so it's fine lol. but great little spot to stop for a quick bite !! read more

I love the pita bread they use to make gyro sandwich, which was good. Unfortunately I was busy talking and forgot to take a pic They sell Hershey's Ice Cream, one of the best. Service was great. read more

This place is a joke and over rated. My daughter and I ordered 2 scoops of ice cream each for $11. The lil type Styrofoam cups came out half full with barely a scoop. So hard to order ice cream as well such a struggle to get ice cream ordered. Do not come to this place. read more

Delicious food! The delivery is always accurate but the one time it wasn't, they went above and beyond to make it right! Locally owned so if you're craving fast food, for about the same price as those fast food chains, give Vassi's a try! They won't disappoint! read more

We came here for lunch with my two young kids after visiting Lost River Caverns and it was great! The burgers were super tasty and my husband LOVED the gyro. It was a very family friendly atmosphere and nice that they offer both indoor and outdoor seating. We opted for inside since it was 90°+ out! We'd definitely go back if we're in the area! read more

Food was amazing and great service I need to make a second visit to try the ice cream

Not fancy - it is an old-style counter with outside tables and benches - but the food is good. The 6 oz. burger I had was done well and flavorful. The French fries were amazing - fried to just the right crispness. I also had the gyro, which was very good. It had a little more sauce than I would like, but was a winner. I saved some of each and reheated them for a meal the next day and they held up well, too. Oh, the staff was also friendly and helpful. Give this hole-in-the-wall a chance. read more

Locally sourced burgers, ice cream and thick milk shakes. Gyros in Hellertown? Yes!!!!! And a hot dog with mustard, onions and homemade chili. For $1.65! It's really good and priced right. Go to this Route 66 style piece of Americana for really good roadside food. read more

What a fun vibe? Feels like a restaurant from American Graffiti! Unhealthy food and lots of it! Their service is prompt and friendly. Of all their items, the burger is awesome!! read more

We stopped by on our way home after a long day of looking at houses to buy in the area. We saw this place and took a chance. We each ordered a double cheeseburger with bacon and fries. Everything was awesome, we never had such a great burger, the best we ever had. I hope we buy a house out there so we can make it our new favorite place to eat at. read more

Vassi's Drive In - Outside sign - Burgers Near Me - Hellertown, Pennsylvania

We were on a pretty long trip from Massachusetts then to Pittsburgh and finally back to Tennessee and we were needed a break and hungry so we started scouring Yelp. This place jumped out with some interesting comments and it's easy on and off at exit 67 (Bethlehem/Hellertow) of I-78 with easy parking so it was time to give it a shot. It was quickly obvious that it was a great choice!! It's kinda part 50's diner, part greasy spoon and a little Mom & Pop. It's plastic wire baskets and wax-like paper and lots of smiling faces and buzzing conversation. It's a small bustling dining area that's got some really interesting collection of historical pictures of Hellertown but if it's nice weather there's some semi-comfy looking picnic table choices for an outdoor dining experience. I immediately recognize a Greek influence splashed with a bottle Philadelphia that I know is probably going to be my kind of fusion, and I was right. Everything arrivedchot and fresh .. cheese steak hoagie is very good, perogies very nice, gyro is BIG and authentic, and the burgers on both buns and on pitas, big portions of crispy fries and onions with an assortment of other different sides ... this is really good stuff. There's lots more choices like Berk hot dogs with sauerkraut, salads, more nice sides plus they have Hershey's (of course) hand packed and soft ice cream. It's good for taking a break on a trip, for a quick bite or a sit down family outing and ther's plenty of choices to satisfy everybody in your crew! (maybe not the vegetarians ;-) By the way despite the location (high traffic) the prices are reasonable and definitely a good value. The staff is friendly and are visibly eager to please and to get it right. It's obvious that it's very popular with locals but this traveler will make this a destination the next time I'm passing through and I'm likely not alone. We all seriously recommend this cool eatery!! read more

Amazing gyro and great service. Probably the best gyro I've had in a long while and I'm Greek, so I am extra picky about my gyros. As the son of another Vasili, I can wholeheartedly say that this establishment is holding it down for all Vassi's and Greeks in the United States read more

Incredibly well seasoned lamb/beef Gryo (NY Gyro) Pita sandwich. The gyro meat was fresh, juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The tzatziki sauce was perfectly made with full garlic flavor. Highly suggest stopping at Vassi's if you're in the area. read more

Nice place for a quick casual meal. Both food and service are top notch I've eaten here and had a variety of sandwiches and I'm always happy and full oh and don't forget the ice cream read more

Didn't get what I ordered. My order clearly stated fries extra crispy which they were not also ordered a fountain drink, didn't receive a straw for my fountain drink. For the price I expect better. read more

This food was delicious, we had the two burgers with fries. The burgers were cooked with all the toppings, ketchup, pickles, minced onions and the french fries were seasoned and cooked perfectly. We also had the gyro, stuffed with lamb, fresh lettuce, tomatoes and onions, and tzatziki sauce, also delicious. Cute little corner place, good size parking lot, front had counter takeout and seats outside. While placing the order we noticed how clean the cooking area was inside and well organized. Would recommend trying out this little hidden gem. read more

Places like this just take you back to being a kid going for ice cream or burgers or hot dogs w/fries with your Mom and Dad. Or when you were a teen and stopping in with your friends or your date for fries. Good drive-in kinda food! Love it all! Great sundaes and oooooo, those chocolate malt shakes! You won't regret it! Don't ever go away, Vassi's! read more

Love this little classic diner! I got a really good cheesesteak, amazing fries, and oddly one of the best tasting Coca Cola drinks I have ever had!? I don't know if they use a different brand or what, but it was really good. Overall, just a great place to grab a quick bite from! read more

Vassi's Drive In - a neon sign for a fast food restaurant - Burgers Near Me - Hellertown, Pennsylvania

The price for what you get is unheard of. We got two hot dogs, $2.35 each, came with mustard onion and chili sauce. Unbelievably good, not too spicy just right. Also enjoy the sautéed onion pirogies, $4.35, came with a side of sour cream also, very good. The staff was very nice and helpful, also asked how our meal was after we had it. Was a very cute place, will be back!! read more

Great food!! Staff is always great and friendly. I always take out place is always really clean

I'm not a local but we a received a special food delivery & hands down the best food I've had in this area. If you're looking for a quick grab and go, or you don't want to cook but want an amazingly cooked meal. This is the place to be! Solid 10/10. read more

I got a cheese steak and pirogies both were great. There wasn't much room to order/wait for orders so we did opt to stand outside while waiting for our food. It is convenient to the highway which is great for a quick stop to grab food but also it does get noisy. The menu is pretty large too, I was impressed. For what it is and the fact that the food was excellent it gets 5 stars from me. read more

My family of 5 stopped on our way through town hoping we found a hidden gem based on the other reviews. We were really disappointed. The food took 30 minutes to come out and it wasn't that good when it did. Cheesesteak seemed like greasy ground beef with some toppings thrown on. Frozen chicken nuggets. A chicken filet sandwich was made of the same frozen chicken nuggets. My wife did say her burger was good. The service was very friendly and it has a cool casual ambiance. read more

We were looking for a place to grab a gyro on a Sunday but unfortunately, most pleases are closed. Came from Allentown and it was so worth it. Small shop right off the road which served us fresh and delicious NY gyros! Will definitely be coming back. read more

Pretty good food, can get it to go or can eat in the dine in area! Great ice cream! Would recommend
