First time in the area and the state so me and my wife decided to stop at a local place instead of a chain.
The service was ok, atmosphere was very nice and clean.
We had the gyro plate with beans and rice, which was suggested and a single Kong burger.
The foods presentation was amazing.
Huge burger and the gyro plate full of meat.
Unfortunately I had a bad feeling about the food when I was called to get it literally less than five minutes of me sitting down.
I'll just cut it short and say everything was cold.
Nothing was made fresh which was obvious from the waiting time.
We're use to kronos meat and this was not that.
My wife didn't even finish her food I barely finished mine.
Doubt if we will be in the area any time soon but never again.
I typically give a place the benefit of the doubt but for the price (over $40) I'd expect better quality.
Or at the least hot food.
I don't mind paying for good food but this place missed the mark today.
I do not recommend.

King Kong is an animal themed burger and gyro joint.
It is located across the street from the Omaha Zoo.
Proximity to the zoo is clearly the reason for the animal theme in decoration.
Overall, this is a fast food place with a splash of decoration and big food. The burgers are huge.
The single is more than big enough, yet they sell double, triple and even quad burgers.
The buns, lettuce and onion are generous.
The pickles are adequate.
The American cheese is uninspiring.
Other condiments are up to you. Fries and a drink are separate items.
The fries are quite good.
The drink cup is a bit skinny. A single burger, order of fries and soda cost a little over $20.
That’s not a typo.
You get a huge burger and impressive side of fries, but you pay handsomely for it. Overall, this is a place to go occasionally as a treat when very hungry, but not regularly.

Asked the cashier what was most popular, she said the gyro.
So we ordered a platter, which is 18.99 and the single kong sandwich, which was I believe 11.49.
Drinks were separate.
I'm from the Chicago area, so if I pay that much for a burger, it better be Angus and come with fries.
This was neither.
It is a kong sized burger for sure, but it did not have enough flavor.
It had char grilled lines but tasted like it was either a processed or low grade burger.
I LOVE burgers, but this one, I could not.
The condiments are self-serve in pump canisters.
The mustard was runny.
The gyro did not taste like Kronos, which, again, if you are from or have visited the Chicago area, you know what I'm talking about.
It came with a salad and a side.
We requested rice with beans, which was decent.
I will not return.
The other thing I want to mention is I literally ordered, went to the bathroom for at most 3 minutes, and when I came back, my husband had the food.
Everything was cold, according to my husband.
I was on a call, so I assumed the food had cooled off.
But he said it came like that.
I shoukdve just taken it all back; I suspected it wasn't fresh for how quickly it was served.
I'm truly disappointed.
Especially for 50 bucks.
