King Kong 72nd: Reviews & Ratings

Picture this: Chiefs vs. Bills, family gathered, the anticipation of a thrilling game... and the stark realization--there's NO FOOD. Who throws a football watch party without snacks? My dad, apparently. But fear not, King Kong swooped in to save the day and tackle our hunger with a legendary delivery. The lineup was a bit of a challenge. My brother wanted a burger, my dad a Philly sandwich, and my nephew, son, and husband were all chanting "steak!" like it was their team's motto. As the self-appointed MVP of this operation, I dove into the delivery apps. The result? A $226 culinary blitz, featuring everything from a Double Kong burger to sirloin dinners, with fries and Greek salads galore (feta removal skills required). Highlights of the feast: Double Kong Burger: This burger was a beast. Towering high with juicy patties, crisp lettuce, and all the fixings, it was a linebacker in burger form. Sirloin Dinners: Three perfectly cooked steaks arrived hot and juicy, with rice, potatoes, and pita on the side. Who needs the stadium when you have this kind of fuel? Philly Sandwich: Packed with meat, cheese, onions, and peppers (no mushrooms, as requested), it was a touchdown in every bite. Kid's Gyro Meal: Overflowing with meat and fries, it may or may not have been for a kid. (We'll leave that one a mystery.) Onion Rings & Fries: Crispy, golden, and devoured before the first quarter was over. The salads, despite their rogue feta (I said no feta, King Kong!), were fresh and hearty. And while the tab was steep, desperate football fans call for desperate measures--and my dad's wallet was the real MVP here. Shoutout to our Dasher, Arthur, for keeping everything piping hot and delivering faster than a Mahomes pass. King Kong scored big with this Greek football feast. Sure, it's pricier when you're playing the delivery game, but in the end, everyone left the table satisfied and ready to cheer. Verdict: King Kong for the win. 10/10, would order again for any foodless football emergency.

Well, ate my sandwich before we could even think about taking a photo! Suffice it to say portions are exceptionally generous and gyros are great. Gyro salad is definitely a wonderful deal for dinner because it will work for two people or several meals. Dining in has easy access, very clean, no frills. Drive-through makes for a quick stop. Several locations in Omaha, always great service and food.

Long established local gyro place with a great ape on its sign (there is a good story there). We had take out on a Tuesday, the special was a cheeseburger and fries. I was hungry but, wow... couldn't finish the burger that was about the size of my face! My takeout box was filled with fries too, so generous. Both hit the spot and at around $10 it was a super deal. The gyros are good too.

Best cheesesteak I have had in a long time. I ate a little over half for lunch and saved the rest for dinner. It was even better!

Food was delicious! Portions are huge. I brought my grandkids and had to cut the burger in half and split it between two kids. My two granddaughters split their chicken strip meal also. I ordered the gyro salad salad topped with tomatoes, olives, Feta cheese and dressing topped with a pita bread. Their fries are always crispy and hot. Dining area is clean and spacious.

Only been here once, but the gyro plate did not disappoint. Fresh salad, fries, and tasty gyro hit the spot. Quick service and the decorations are great.
