I am sure to pick-up a dozen dogs at Yocco's whenever I'm in the area. Absolutely the best!

I am a Yocco's loyalist. You either love them or hate them. I love them. They also hire mentally challenged people to work in the store. Big plus!

I got the Doggie Pac, 12 uncooked Hatfield dogs, 12 fresh buns, Tangy Mustard, Chopped Onions, and Yoccos Worldwide Special Chili sauce to go. And a hot Yoccos dog to eat in the car on the way home.

Probably the best hot dog in America. I love the unpretentious atmosphere. It is all about the food! And the pierogies are also amazing -- cooked perfectly. Worth a trip off the beaten path for the original!

What happened to the Yocco's I used to know? Husband and I stopped for 4 chili cheese dogs with everything,,,we were asked to repeat that order 4 different times by 4. Different teen workers within 5 minutes,,,was anyone awake? We sat down to unwrapped dogs with cheese that didn't melt and open faced dogs lukewarm with watery sauce dripping all over,,,I am aware Yocco's is under new ownership but changing the standard rolls to something dry and cracking was the limit! I am amazed and disheartened,,,,we predict a huge drop in business ,,,yes, the prices went up too,,,but that is to be expected in this economy,,,poor Yocco's,,,,This is a first time bad experience since coming here in 1999,,,,,anyone know what is going on?

The quality of the hot dog itself was good but everything else was horrible. It barely had any toppings in what little bit was on there was old tasting. The french fries were burnt so bad I couldn't even eat them. Do not waste your money

Used the drive through service. Very courteous and quick. I really enjoyed the onion rings and my friend loved the pierogies. Yum!

Yocco's Hot Dog King is a 100+ year old cultural phenomenon in the Allentown/Bethlehem area, where frankfurters are truly snack royalty. There are a half dozen of these small fast food outlets by this name (as well as several other franchises and independent dog houses) around these parts. Our reason for stopping- a need for a break after a long drive home from Niagara Falls. Although still 75 minutes away, we like Yocco's individually handgrilled sausages from past visits, and our hunger after 6 hours on the road had us looking forward to the break and even fantasizing about that first bite and snap.We ordered a dozen of their classics, grilled and rolled with mustard, onion bits and a thin smear of their unique savory chili. Each was wrapped in white paper and boxed in plain cardboard. We also grabbed a large size crinklecut fries. We were really hungry, and quickly wolfed down those crisp babies as we drove south again toward Quakertown and then onto Route 313 all the way to Newtown. Sorry. No pics, as that Yelp courtesy was forgotten by our yowling bellies. We scarfed down two hots dogs apiece in the car, saving the final two for our kitchen table. While I wouldn't have them as a regular part of my diet, these Yoccos really hit the spot. No apologies. There will be a next time, and we will also try their pierogi as a side for the King of Hot Dogs.

I've been going to Yocco's for many years, but we've moved and can no longer frequent them as much as I'd like. Happened to pass by on a Sunday about 1:30 and dropped in. Happy to say that not much has changed. Service was good. Seating was ample (and clean). We shared 5 hot dogs and each got some krinkle fries. The dogs are grilled, and the special sauce is still great. Fries were hot and fresh. What's not to love if you are a dog lover. Looking forward to the next time we pass through Emmaus.

Don't go here. Unfortunately, this place is going downhill fast. It's been around for nearly 100 years. But, there are better places to go and the atmosphere is bad and the overall experience is bad. And the staff is getting worse and worse and worse. And I don't like this place anymore. I moved 2000 miles away for four years and when I came back it was way different and everything was bad. They do have good pierogies and the hotdogs are good but everything else seems to be going downhill.My humblest regards, k.david
