We went in for some sandwiches to go. They were very quick and got us 7 sandwiches in 15 minutes. The only downside is the sides are very small! read more

we walked in and every single table had trash on it. the floor had smashed chips on the ground but we thought let's still give it a chance. We ordered 2 gyros and sat down to eat and they had DEADDD Flies in them. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!!!! We showed them the dead flys and they were only going to refund the one gyro shown! Completely UNPROFESSIONAl!!!! DONT EAT HERE!!!! Bathroom ( after throwing up fly infested food) was no better than the lobby and was disgusting and filthy too!!! BEWARE!!!! read more

Vasken's Deli is a Mediterranean style restaurant. You order at the counter, and then get a buzzer to take to your table. In my opinion, they are like an elevated version of Tazikis with similar or even lower prices. I got a chicken gyro which was stellar. You have to try some of their homemade chocolate truffles, we got some after our meal and they were delicious! read more

Good (not great) food. Large open eating area that wasn't very cozy. Probably won't be back.

Great "real" deli! I ordered the spicy ham and cheese and my husband got a Reuben. The spicy ham and cheese was definitely spicy but not too overwhelming as it seemed it was Louisiana style hot sauce. It was cheesy, messy and delicious!! The Reuben my husband got was on a marbled rye bread. Very nice looking sandwich. We also ordered an appetizer of hummus with pita. Very generous portion and very tasty. For dessert, we split one Greek baklava triangle and it was fantastic The restaurant is spacious and clean. We were in town for the weekend for a quick vacation and Vasken's hit the spot for a good lunch! read more

Pros: hummus and baba ganoush were very good as was the tzatziki. The combo appetizer plate was nice for a chance to try a variety of items. Large chunks of feta and several tasty olives. Con: the falafel was far too dry. Pita was fair, nothing special. Tomato slices were almost frozen. I discovered I do not like dolmades but that is no fault of the deli. Husband liked them. Lots of seating room but things still came out in plastic containers. Bottom line: Greek n' Greek is better. read more

Vasken's Deli - Delis Near Me - Branson, Missouri

Unexpectedly delicious! My husband ordered the vegetarian sandwich and the flavor was out of this world. I ordered the Mediterranean pizza and needed to get it redone because I didn't realize it was inundated with olives. For the olive lovers, that pizza is your dream. Wish I would have taken pictures! read more

We stumbled upon this deli because we were in the area shopping. This place really hit the spot! We ordered the chicken shwarma and Reuben sandwich, both were great! I recommend that you get the chips as a side, my sister ordered the pasta salad as a side -- it was disappointingly small (compared to a bag of chips). It's a shame we found this deli on our last day in Branson, we would definitely visit again! read more

Vasken's Deli - The first and best Reuben sandwich I've ever had - Delis Near Me - Branson, Missouri

Decent and with very few healthy options in Branson, this was a good place to go after seeing a performance at Sights & Sounds. We had salads and falafel. The falafel was very dry but the salads were good. We would probably come again if we were in town. read more

I had a a sandwich made on homemade ciabatta (said focaccia but I don't think it was), it was a few meats and olive salad- soooo good! My husband had a ham and cheese that he really liked. The star of our order was the babaganoush- such amazing flavor. Every time we are in the area we stop here. read more

Wow. Had their signature Mediterranean turkey sandwich. This is food I would go out of the way for. Don't miss the chocolates!

This was our first time to visit Vasken's. I would definitely recommend visiting. We were in Branson for Spring Break and came for lunch. It is off the Strip in a quiet area in the north part of town. The food was freshly prepared and delightful. While I prefer a sit down restaurant with a wait staff, this was a nice place. We were lucky we arrived just before noon as the place filled up quickly. I would rate it a full five stars but I didn't like the small drink glasses that I had to continually fill and having to get my own silverware etc, but that is more of a traditional deli style so authenticate and the food was very good so I would go back read more

Chewing the baklava there's 3 pieces that I found of pistachios shell. The baklava was okay. read more

Vasken's Deli - Pistachios shell - Delis Near Me - Branson, Missouri

Everything was amazing. They even have little baklava options and truffles. All of us loved our selections. Quick and polite service.

Good food even though did not get what I ordered. Guy at the counter could use a little more knowledge. Maybe he is new. Place could use some paint and cleaning. Paint chips along the wall and trash station not very clean. Out of ice. read more

This little gem is a must. Food was great and it was quiet and not busy and clean and had great seating and open spaces. Glass bottle drinks as well as fountain drinks. Good deli variety. Tried the gyro it was good, hummus was so so, soup was so delicious (red pepper Gouda) but the best sandwich was the garlic chicken!! Delightful. They also have a great little dessert bar. It's different. It's not terribly busy and it isn't all fried foods so I was happy to be there! read more

Food was not good. Dining area feels dirty. If you do go, avoid tables near the counter. Everyone walks by you multiple times to get their food, drinks, to get to the bathroom, etc. read more

If you're looking for pre-made, microwaved Mediterranean inspired fare, then Vasken's is for you. I got the falafel platter and it was evident from the shape and a ring around the middle that the falafels (too dry, decent seasoning) were pre-made and heated on-site. I was impressed with the trio of dips - the tzatziki, hummus, and baba ganoush were lovely, but those were the best part of the platter. Dolmas were ok. My husband's grilled chicken salad was a massive disappointment. Many of the greens did not appear super fresh, and the chicken was inedible. It had a slick and rubbery texture - after taking a bite, it was obvious these chicken pieces were frozen and then nuked (some pieces still tasted a little frosty). We were very underwhelmed with our experience here...both with the service and the food. Prickly pear iced tea was a wonderful surprise, but that was probably the highlight of the meal for us. read more

I tried it for the first time while in Branson. The food was excellent! But they really ought to put...nice people at the register. All I could focus on was how rude and sharp the cashier was. Not a great first impression but I'd be willing to go again for the food. read more

WE LOVE!! Thank you so so much vaskins for having delicious gluten free options! I had the veggie wrap and my boys each had their own little pizza and Mac n cheese and my big boy had the famous gyro! $44 with tip for 4 meals. All fabulous and private. You order deli style at the counter and the dining room is incredibly large and spacious so that was awesome too service was spot on...super friendly! . Yep, we'll be back thank you! read more

A safe place for Vegans in Branson! They have several Middle Eastern selections: falafels, hummus, dolmas, etc. All were very good. I live in a Middle Eastern community and the food was as good as at home! Will definitely return when we are in town! read more

Very unhappy with experience here. Aug 26. I made it very clear to the young girl that took our order that I was highly allergic to nuts. She guaranteed me there were no nuts in the chicken curry salad. When I arrived at my home in Branson I discovered there were walnuts in the salad. I had to quickly take a Benadryl and hoped my epi pen would not be necessary. I called the deli same girl answered. I heard her ask someone in the kitchen. They verified yes there are nuts in it. She said she would get her manager to cancel the charge. I called next day, she said she would handle it. I called again next day and was assured it was handled. I've still been charged for a meal I could not eat due to her negligence and could have ended up in anaphylaxis. This is not good business. Attention management if it's not corrected soon, you will hear from my husband. I was only just able to let him know and he is furious. I would really appreciate this being handled with your employee as it seems she may have out and out lied to me about informing you and handling it. read more

Loved the food here. I had the hot ham and cheese. The wrap was warm and the fillings generous. My wife had the sandwich and salad combo and thoroughly enjoyed it. The hummus and pita was great! Hope to go back before we leave town. read more

I love Mediterranean food but my husband isn't as adventurous when it comes to those flavors. After looking at their menu online, we felt this was a great spot for us both. I ordered the chicken gyro and he got the pastrami sandwich. Of the two, the pastrami would be the way to go. It was absolutely delicious. The chicken gyro was just ok... I would skip that. My biggest complaint is that the portions are small for the price. read more

This is a good little hole in the wall place. Close to shopping and entertainment. The staff was slightly rude and the prices are very high for what you get, but overall it's a good place to come and eat read more

Excellent food, great service, and comfortable seating. Best sandwich I've ever had! I enjoyed a delicious pastrami and Swiss but everyone in my party loved their choices as well! read more

We had a great lunch at Vaskens deli. The greek gyro salads were great. My daughter loved the grilled cheese. The location was nice, updated and had plentiful parking. I would definitely frequent here if I lived in the area. read more

Always so good! The spicy ham and cheese pita and the gyro are great! I moved away and miss this place!

We always eat here when visiting Branson. The tomato soup is excellent & the Greek salad is very good. Sandwiches & bread always fresh. Service is okay, today the young man at the register acted like he was still asleep & yes it he get our order wrong but they quickly corrected it. read more

Amazing lunch. Nice diverse menu, high quality and very reasonable prices compared to a lot of places where there is the usual tourist markup. Nice big dining area, so you can spread out a bit and social distance. Good deserts too. read more

We were so disappointed today. We arrived at 11 am to find several tables dirty. We ordered a sandwich and soup, but none of the soups were ready...they were still in the soup pots frozen. Really? At lunchtime, frozen soup? Someone should be getting that ready prior to lunch. Since we couldn't get soup, we ordered a side of pasta salad. Big mistake. The pasta was cooked to a mush and looked like it had been made a few days ago. My husband took the pasta salad back and told them we couldn't eat it. The employee only said that it was made fresh today (if so, they need a new cook) and " Sorry about that." No offer to get us anything different. We've been here before and had a good meal, but what we had today sure wasn't worth $15 for both of us. Probably won't go here again...and we live in the area. read more

Vegetarian platter didn't taste fresh. It seems the food is prepackaged and sits in the fridge for a while. Pita bread was stale and had a strong taste of reused cooking oil. The oil came from the grill where they cook meat probably. If you are a vegetarian keep that in mind. Service was nice and friendly. The food leaves a lot to be desired. Update 2/19/19: Tyler - thank you for responding. I really appreciate your detailed response. That means you care. We will be back! read more

I too read the reviews online since we were looking for some place different than what was on the "strip" and thought we would check this one out. The Greek salad was good as was the appetizer hummus. Could have used some more pita with that though. Wasn't too impressed with the Italian Muffaletta. The grilling of the bread didn't add anything to it. And I think the bun which was used was a little too doughy. But maybe that helps to keep the sandwich from falling apart. Maybe I am too used to the muffalettas in my area. Greek Baklava was very good. Recently redecorated and looks very nice. I'll keep this place in mind if I want something off the beaten path. read more

Basic. Edible but not great. Arby's fastfood greek euro is better, that is super sad to say. The euro meat (I got 1/2lbs to go) was just bland. Texture was weird for euro. Thick chucks of meat, not nice flavorful slices. The meat was edible but wasn't great and would be close par to gourmet dog food. The taziki sauce was so bland! It tasted like sour Creme with garlic. So bland it was gross. No taste of cucumber at all Which is typical with a taziki sauce. I've had a sandwich as well and was so basic and not worth the money. Fast food quality food here with dine in price. read more

What a very nice surprise to find a restaurant that serves gluten-free and vegan options. And it was very good. A nice oasis.

We love this place! Always go for a bite when in Branson! Great food and great service!

Love the food here. I've tried several of their sandwiches, but I always go back for the Firehouse Gyro now. Their baklava is worth a try as well. Nothing I've had here has been less than delicious. read more

It was fine. I hate to be so blasé about it, but it really was just fine. There were so many good reviews about it that I was ready for my socks to be blown off, but I can really only say that it was fine. Though it dons 'international market' in its title, the "market" consists of maybe 3 or 4 wire shelving units that hold a mish-mosh of mostly European wares right by the front door. When we arrived around noon, the place was empty. It started to get alittle more traffic by the time we left an hour or so later. Their award-winning specialty is their gyros, so I ordered a spicy one and again, it was fine. It was fresh and tasty, but it wasn't unlike something that I could have gotten at my fave fast-Greek spot in Indy, nevermind my fave sit 'n Greek restaurant. I won't go as far as to say that I was disappointed, if anything, I might say that there might just be a hint of overestimating going on here. read more

Yummy food and good customer service. We had a late lunch at this place and all of the food was very good.

Looking for a quick lunch stop for our family of 10 and found this place on yelp and decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed!!! I had the chicken gyro and my husband had the firehouse gyro! Both were very very good and huge for the price! We couldn't leave without trying their truffles and Greek desserts!! The rest of our family were very happy with this choice too and they can be picky with food!! A huge hit was their chicken enchilada soup!!! This is a great place for a quick but filling lunch or dinner!!! read more
