AAR...KING GYROS BY SELF APPOINTED INGO FOOD CRITIC

[ggglobert9]

Monday evening my wife and myself decided to check out King Gyros in Ft. Wayne for ourselves! This is a quick editorial/pictorial by a self appointed INGO food critic. As a couple of other threads have included...this place is a 2nd Amendment supporter. We went at dinner time 7:ooish. Starved and armed. I am not associated or employed in anyway. This is not an advertisement. Just an appreciation of a small business that supports the way "things" should be! Very clean and extremely friendly place. And yes they do allow and carry guns! Great food people and atmosphere...Please support them if you are in Ft. Wayne. You won't be dissapointed. Both of us out the door for less than $20. Thanks George!
Greetings!! Friendly and smiling:

Nick and his Dad...Owners and oh yea the food!!!

The food before and after!

Huge helping of tips left after we both Knawed on them!

That looks really good! I want a Gyro plate now.

We have been there many times;
Not as often in recent years.

I know that the downtown Gyros and
this one are not connected

But,downtown they say I can pay
in Sheckles or Rubles.
Can I do that at Five points?

I showed my wife the thread.
She's hungry again.We will go there
armed with appetites and a couple
of other things.

Thanks

We have King Gyros here in Bloomington. All of their food is really good. The ribs are fantastic.

 

[Gadgetmonster]

I believe we have one on Indy's south side on 31 just north of Sumner. (317) 780-0441

3410 S East St Indianapolis, IN 46227.

Not sure they have any gun policy but the food is very good.

We've been there a number of times over the years--usually take out. Do you happen to know if they are prominantly pro-2A like the one in Ft. Wayne?

I visit a couple times a month. Always OC inside.
Never a second look. Food is better than average and priced reasonable too. Fast drive thru when needed.

I've been to a couple King Gyros and that one is the only one I'd eat in just going by looks. I've bought food from street vendors in foreign countries and the King Gyros I've been in have been too dirty for me.

Too be honest, I have no idea. The guy at the counter (I have no idea what his name is) is super cool. Really nice guy and is easy to chat it up with. Being in bloomington, I doubt they are extreme supporters of 2A. My guess is they probably aren't concerned so long as your a paying customer. Especially if your carrying concealed. Only time I had ever gone in there with a gun visible was when I was working and in uniform, so I cant really say for sure.

Thanks for the support ggglobert!!! And thank you to everybody else for the support as well!
To clear things up. Every king gyros is independently owned and operated. We assume no affiliation or connection with any other king gyros. Our stand on the 2nd amendment is our own. We welcome all (lisenced) gun owners and respect open carry and concealed practices! Thanks again from the king gyros family!!!!

O yea!!!!!!! You can order them with your choice of hot or mild peppers and a red spaghetti sauce!

 

[Clay]

mmmmmmm No red sauce for me. Just meat, hot giardiniera/peppers, mozzarella cheese, and a full dunk in the juice tank.

It has been a couple years since I ate there, but made it a point to go there last Sunday afternoon after seeing the posts here. I went through the drive through and was surprised to see the same decal posted on the drive-up window.

I'm a big eater so I ordered a rib tip dinner and a large Greek salad. When the girl handed me the bag, it felt like it weighed 5 pounds. I got home, sat down and unbagged the goodies.

I went for the rib tip dinner first. The tips were fall apart tender and the serving size was big. The sauce was tangy and delicious (I had to sprinkle some Franks Hot Sauce on for added heat). They were all meat and no bones. The poor dogs were sitting here slobbering on the floor, waiting for some goodies,, but they lost out this time. The fries were perfect and the cole slaw was great too. I got all that down and started on the Greek salad.

The salad was huge and loaded with really fresh, crisp lettuce. The Greek olives were the highlight. Great flavor and texture. The peppers and cucumbers were good too..... and then I was amazed to see the whole thing covered with a layer of Feta cheese and the chopped red beets made the whole thing beautiful. I always keep olive oil and balsamic vinegar here and made up additional dressing to pour over the top. There was dressing on the salad, but I like a little more.

The only suggestion I have on the salad is to make BACON an option. Charge me extra and call me crazy, but this would have been the ultimate salad. I also like pineapple chunks, but I guess I have to take the traditional offering.

I never mentioned INGO or seeing the posts here. I had my .45 concealed in a shoulder holster, so I have to assume this is the normal quantity and quality and they weren't intimidated into treating me nicely.

Typing this and recalling my Sunday feast has made me hungry. I may have to visit again today on my way home from the shoe store.

My fiance and I eat there at least a couple times a month or when ever I have a craven for the gyros. Their gyro plate has enough stuff in it for 2 people to eat off of but I always manage to finish it off. LOL.

 

[slackerisme]

Being a ChiTown transplant, that place has the two things I miss the most about home, Gyros and Italian Beef. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[Don]

If they are connected with the one in Daleville, I suggest the grilled cheese and a regular hamburger. Smash them together and enjoy the most delicious burger.

Greek, which Ft Wayne location are you at?

Why would you ruin an otherwise proper Italian Beef sandwich with cheese?
