Really good and HUGE burgers. Place is well used, was clean but didn't appear clean if that makes sense. Really warm inside, fountain drink dispenser was having issues, but the food was really good and the gorillas are awesome.

I was in Lincoln for work and this was nearby my hotel. King Kong on the main signage towers at least 30 feet but probably higher and can be seen from the highway. Very friendly staff when I walked in and I got the double burger combo. I had been thinking about a triple but glad I went double. The burger and patties are huge! A half pound each but it's a lot of food. They have extra large buns to accommodate and with the toppings it is actually a perfectly proportional burger just like double in size to what you would get anywhere else. Burger, fries, and a drink will cost around $20 but you'll be full the rest of the day or night. They have other options I did not get but saw some other customers, one ordered a gyro which also looked great! They have lots of King Kong posters on the walls and a small extension section for 2 human sized stuffed gorilla animals playing instruments for a fun atmosphere. Highly recommend if just passing through for the novelty of it but if I lived in the area I'd probably eat here once a month for sure. Some people say the pricepoint is high but $20 for this is exponentially better than a chain burger place and much better value than that same $20 at one of those places.

My husband and I tried this restaurant driving through on a road trip. We saw the sign on the side of the interstate and decided to try it. My husband got their single burger with cheese and I got their gyro with extra onions. It was so good! The meat was good and crispy. My pita bread was toasted nicely so it didn't get soggy and fall apart. Portions were large. We ate around 5:30pm and was full the rest of the night! Lol. Very good!
