June 4 – CLARKS SUMMIT – It’s been a while since I visited a lunch spot. I’ve only heard good things about Booyah! Burgers and Bites, so I ordered a little bit of everything.
The whole experience was super friendly and fast – and they didn’t even judge me for ordering a four course meal at 1pm in the afternoon. It’s important Weekender research!
Booja! Burgers & Bites has the classic drive-up ice cream parlor atmosphere. They offer the service of a franchise fast food restaurant, with the menu of an old-fashioned American restaurant with burgers, ice cream, chicken, hoagies, fries and other side dishes. They have locations in Clarks Summit and Wyoming to serve Lackawanna and Luzerne counties for lunch and dinner.
I went a little crazy and I don’t regret anything. I ordered the “Boo-rogies” with homemade garlic butter sauce, Parmesan chicken bites with garlic, Buffalo Dip with tortilla chips and of course the food of the same name: a burger!
My pictures of the Booyah burger don’t do it enough justice. This deliciously messy, hefty burger was delicious. Although there were numerous options to customize your order (including vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options), I went with the original Cheeseburger recipe and couldn’t have been happier. Next time I’ll do all the crazy toppings!

The first thing I reached for, however, was the Buffalo hot wing dip with tortilla chips. Honestly, I ate so much of this delicious creamy dip that I had to eat the rest of my meal later…
I also really enjoyed the garlic parmesan appetizers; it was a great sauce and cooked perfectly for enjoying and sharing. The establishment offers a wide range of sauces to keep every meal fresh with unique flavors – all your standard choices plus everything from Angry Elf to Carolina BBQ to Dill Pickle. (I REALLY had to stop myself from ordering another pickle dish for my Weekender food review)
But of all the tasty things I tried, I think the pierogies were my favorite… they were perfect little deep fried pockets of goodness, dipped in the garlic butter… perfection. These babies aren’t trying to beat your grandma’s pierogies, they have their own flair… like fast food restaurants or hot dog stands do pierogies and — they do it well!
My only regret about my visit is that I didn’t have room for ice cream.
