The red pepper hummus was excellent. The flavors of the firehouse gyro were amazing. The staff was kind and by the amount of people in the restaurant on a Thursday afternoon in the off season this is clearly a local favorite. This will be a regular visit every time we’re in the area.

Stopped in for lunch on the way out of town and I’m glad we did! My Muffaletta was SO good. My mom loves a Gyro and they say theirs is “famous” , so she gave it a try. Thumbs up. The pasta salad side is nice with the extra veggies and they’re finely chopped, so no weird chunky bites. She got our lunch and after eye-balling the case, I decided I was getting dessert. They have beautifully made truffles, so I got a variety of those, and you don’t leave a place like this without some baklava. Both the classic Pistachio and Walnut were available. I ordered both. Cat and Casey were working while we were there and we gabbed as our food was made and truffles gathered. So nice. If you’re ever in Branson and are looking for something fresh to balance out the fried chicken and funnel cake, come try Vaskin’s Deli. You won’t regret it.

We were in town this summer for a Convention, and were looking for a place to eat. My wife suggested we try Vasken’s Deli. It had good reviews, so it should have been a sure winner. And it was. The odd thing was, when we got there, the parking lot for Vaskens was practically empty. A little nervous, I led us inside, expecting the doors to be locked and the store closed up, as some things are in Branson.
I was pleasantly surprised. The staff were all friendly and there were wonderful things to eat on the menu. We had their Peperoni pizza for my son, who is neurodivergent so it’s always a little dicey on food with him, but he loved their pizza. My wife got the Italian Chicken Salad. I got a Greek Salad with Chicken I think (it had Bleu Cheese on it). The salads were excellent. The chicken chunks were dry-rubbed slices of breast, cooked to perfection. All of the ingredients were fresh. The place was spotlessly clean, no flies, no trash, no dirt. Immaculate.
The counter had a wide selection of desserts to choose from. We chose the chess and pecan pies. We were NOT disappointed. Both were melt-in-your-mouth good, perfectly sweet, just the right touch of salt.

I have been wanting to try this place for a few months now and just haven’t gotten around to it. I’m so glad that I finally did. I got the lamb and beef gyro and it was delicious!! My friend got the chicken gyro and loved it! We also got some of their pumpkin chocolate truffles as well ask the pistachio baklava. Definitely an all-around wonderful experience with delicious food and treats. I will most definitely be returning!

I liked it. My wife thought her food was too spicy. That’s not the restaurant’s fault though. Just know that their basic food recipes are on the side with kick. So you have to request that they not include that when you order if that’s an issue. Wife ordered her sandwich a second time without the spicier ingredients and liked what she got.

Came in for a light lunch about 1:30pm and it was excellent. Rosa’s Mediterranean Turkey was delicious (not light, I know) and the half turkey sandwich with small Greek salad was perfect. Fresh and tasty. If the pita is not freshly made it sure did taste like it. Would definitely come back.

The gyros were legit. Fresh ingredients, real flavor, and nothing sloppy or thrown together. You can taste the quality. The staff was friendly, fast, and actually seemed to care. Plenty of seating and a comfortable atmosphere that doesn’t feel crowded or chaotic.
Highly recommend. We’ll be back for sure.

I have wanted to go to Vasken’s Deli since I learned that they were in Branson and had baba ghanouj. We decided to go there after hiking today.
I ordered the trio of sides with baba ghanoush, hummus, and tzatziki. The dips were all yummy and the bread was squishy and warm. Absolutely delicious.
My husband ordered two chicken Shawarma’s and he said they were good. We had unsweet tea, which was also refreshing and tasted good.
I love how it looks inside the restaurant. I love the colors. I love the ceiling and I love how the table tops all go together with the look. Nice atmosphere.
The worker who took our order, while she was not unfriendly, she seemed rather jaded. That was the only thing I mark down from this visit. When I need another baba ghanouj fix, we will absolutely go back.

We heard so many good things about this place, so we decided to give it a try. So it was our first time there and it was around 7-8pm. We were hungry, so we asked the girl behind the counter what’s good? She just pointed at the menu board. She wasn’t very friendly and it seemed we were bothering her. We were hungry and it getting late, so we still gave it the benefit of the doubt. So we ordered. We waited for 20 minutes. While we waited we noticed trash bins were overflowing, tables dirty, trash on the floor, and dented drink dispensers. 2 sandwiches and a kids cheese pizza with premade sides. Prices were decent, but the quality was okay. So needless to say, we didn’t have a good experience. There is lots of free parking and it’s easy to find from the main road.

The food here is outstanding. I like the Greek Salads with grilled lamb. My wife loves the dolmas. I’m going to try the Ruben sandwich next. We will be back. Can’t wait.
