Yocco's Hot Dog King

625 West Liberty Street, Allentown, PA - (610) 433-1950
Posted By Sherri Jernigan on 3/1/2008 1:30:00 PM
Mmm, what can I say? Old restaurant, food placed on a napkin on a tray -- no plates. I am used to lots of chili and shredded cheese on my chili cheese dogs. These had a slice of very thin American cheese under the hot dog and the dog must have been dipped in the chili with all but a very thin coating of chili wiped off. These were very sad chili dogs! Absolutely NOTHING to rave about.

Another thing -- remember in biology class where you grew bacteria from different surfaces? Remember how the surface of a cafeteria food tray grew huge nasty looking bacteria? Well, the hot dogs are sitting directly on an open napkin and the tray. Yuk! I was kind of afraid to eat them.

This is not a place I would recommend!

The dogs are slowly roasted on the grill to a well-browned crustiness.

There's something a little creepy about these hot dog creatures hanging from the ceiling.

Yocco's isn't exactly a welcoming looking spot, but that just adds to the fun.
