I lived in the area for about three months and ate here perhaps four or five times. I was never disappointed. The service was always friendly and fast. I tried something different each time. Was not impressed by the pizza burger. It wasn't bad, but it didn't taste like pizza at all. The other burgers I tried were awesome. I think I was most impressed with the sides, though. Anything fried, whether it be onion rings, tater tots, or fried mushrooms, was always perfect. And I mean PERFECT. I don't know what the secret is, but the batter never fell off my mushrooms or was soggy in any way. I love the fact that this is family owned since the 50s and operated out of an old trailer, like the old-timey 50s diners you see in movies. It's cute and quaint. But they only have a few booths, so don't expect large group seating. read more

King's Sandwich Shop - Bacon cheese burger and fried pickles. Yum! - Sandwiches Near Me - Iola, Kansas

Fantastic! Please support this family business. Stopped here for lunch on our way through town and received a very warm welcome, excellent menu recommendations, and very quick service. And let's not forget the food! The club burger was a combination I've never tried before and it was wonderful. It was cooked and seasoned perfectly and tasted just as good as, if not better, than the $18 "gourmet" wagyu burger I had the day before. Might be the first time I chose to finish my burger rather than my tater tots. Wishing them much success in the future (and wishing we lived closer!). read more

The food is amazing, they use real hamburger not frozen patties. The staff are always friendly and food is delivered out you your table pretty quick. I love the old albums and photos all over the walls it's a little piece or nostalgia read more

Have stopped occasionally for years. Great burgers, mediocre frozen fries. Great people and service. Tiny inside dining. Was disappointed they are now closed Saturday and Sunday instead of just Sunday tho. read more

Ate at Kings a few weeks ago in the off hours, it was great, best place to eat a burger in Iola, will definitely continue to eat there !

Had the double bacon cheeseburger. Delicious! Have to come every time when visiting. read more

King's Sandwich Shop - Menu 2/2024 - Sandwiches Near Me - Iola, Kansas

Food is good and has some of the best burgers in town but a little pricey. Would recommend overall.

Second time eating here since we moved to Iola. Both meals have been great. Reminds me of the small grill diners. Hamburgers made fresh. We had the king hamburger and double bacon cheese burger. Great flavor and fresh. The suzies were also delicious. Cashier and cook were very nice as well. The atmosphere is older but with the feeling of older burger joints read more

I got the double. Huge burger. Good bun. Brought 5 people with me and they all enjoyed it.

Service was quick and friendly! Food was great! The burger was fresh, bigger than average, and tasted incredible ! I will DEFINITELY be back! Go check em out! You won't be sorry! read more

King's Sandwich Shop - King's hit the spot! - Sandwiches Near Me - Iola, Kansas

Discovered this independent burger place when a highway detour took us through Iola. The burgers took a while, but they were worth the wait. Cooked to order and delicious. Sides are good too. read more

King's Sandwich Shop - a burger and french fries - Sandwiches Near Me - Iola, Kansas

Very good hambugers. I love the fried cauliflower or fried green beans. The owner always comes out to greet you and ask how everything was. read more

The buildings ambiance is spot on for what they offer, it's a genuine hometown burger stop. It will always be a little bit pricier than other places around here, however it's definitely worth the money. A big problem with restaurants around here is overwhelming menus they can't manage. King's menu is by far the easiest to choose from, it's small but they found what they do best and stick to it, anything you choose will be done to perfection. read more

Food is always excellent. Friendly staff. Only reason it is not five stars is the price is just a little high for me however I understand why. Will usually stop by monthly as a treat. read more

Great local shop for sandwiches and sides. The fried mushrooms are exceptional. The menu is varied. And the portion sizes are ample. There is a small dining area. So, choice your times wisely. It is worth the visit. read more

They have an amazing burger. Probably one of the best I've ever had. Their double cheeseburger is almost a pound. It's definitely worth trying read more

King's Sandwich Shop - a burger and tater tots - Sandwiches Near Me - Iola, Kansas

While traveling, I like to support local businesses when possible. So, a friend of mine and I stopped in at King's for lunch during a road trip. It was the perfect example of a great small-town burger joint. Chris Grisier was running the place while we were there. He was friendly and efficient. He made good suggestions and was helpful. I had a bacon cheeseburger and tator tots, while my friend had the pizza burger and fries. I thought the cheeseburger was very good. Juicy and flavorful. Just like you'd expect in Kansas! The tator tots were good quality and nicely crisped. My friend liked his pizza burger and fries. Overall, it was a great lunch stop with great food. I'll definitely stop in at King's again next time I'm Iola! read more

King's Sandwich Shop - Bacon cheeseburger and tator tots. - Sandwiches Near Me - Iola, Kansas

Our experience was ok, but the food had a couple of issues. Not being from around here, I thought (by the name of the restaurant) that it was more of a sandwich shop than a burger shop. As far as the burgers go, they were tasty. You could tell the meat patties were hand made, the onion rings were delicious. The hot dogs were very favorable, and was my favorite part of the meal. On the negative side, the burgers were very greasy, and the bacon was paper-thin. My recommendation would be to prepare the meat in a less greasy way, and to source a better quality bacon. Liked having a nice selection of sodas to choose from, and the customer service from the employees was phenomenal! This location was a nice stop on our way through Kansas. read more

Good food!! Need better ventilation, made my eyes water!! They did clean after people sat at tables++

Super awesome food and service, food was out fast and server was extremely kind. It is a super tiny restaurant so if they're busy it's a little cramped but they were very kind. read more

Great burger joint...excellent food & service! Will go back when in the area! Be careful though...the burgers are VERY large. Tots, rings,fries all delicious. read more

The sandwiches are good. There is a variety of things to choose from on their menu. And everything is cooked fresh. always hot.

A total 70's vibe - with the albums and license plates - and it works for a cute little lunch spot. The food is made to order, tasty and reasonable. Had the shrimp and fries. Give it a try! read more

Great place to stop for a burger. Cheeseburger and fried green beans are on point. read more

King's Sandwich Shop - Cheeseburger and fried green beans. - Sandwiches Near Me - Iola, Kansas

Excellent burger shack and little menu board of fried delicacies. I had a sweet and spicy burger and little broccoli/cheese/bacon poppers. It was a nice takeout dinner on a stormy evening. Food is always made to order in about 10 minutes. The ground beef is always fresh made each day. read more

This is an excellent little diner that serves homemade food. The hamburgers are very large and delicious! My hamburger was juicy and cooked to order. The bacon was crispy and cheese melty. I can't wait to go back and try the pizza burger. Keep up the good work.! read more

This place had amazing burgers at a very affordable price. The staff was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed quickly. The restaurant itself was clean. Overall a great place to go and if I'm in the area again I'll definitely return! read more

Great old fashioned burger/sandwich shop. Thanks to Yelp we found a new stop on the way to the lake! SO many choices! My husband had the pizza burger and he absolutely loved it. I had a loaded small burger since the King's burger is 7ozs. We shared onion rings. Not a fancy place - people go for the food. The help was friendly and curteous. Ask for Blake, he'll give you drink refills! :) read more

King's Sandwich Shop - Double bacon Cheeseburger and Fried cauliflower.... I ate must of the cauliflower before I took the pic - Sandwiches Near Me - Iola, Kansas

As always, excellent. Sweet and spicy burger was just right. Prices are great. A lot of history in this little place.

Great hamburgers, tater tots and service! You can tell the hamburgers are fresh and hand made. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in town. read more

I LOVE this little diner! The food is AMAZING and the staff is superb! The staff treats you outstanding and the food is out of this world! If you get the chance, stop by this rock and roll themed diner for their delicious burgers, specialty burgers, baskets and a wide variety of tasty sides!!! They don't have any desserts but you are so full after eating there that you don't miss dessert at all, but if you want some dessert after your wonderful meal then Dairy Queen is right next door. This restaurant is a real asset to our community. I wish they were open on Sunday, maybe from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., so that we could eat there after church. Thank you King's for your wonderful food and customer service! read more

Great burgers cooked fresh to order. Highly recommended to stop in and grab a burger. Small seating area and not big on ambiance.

Great burger just like your mom would make. Yelp hasn't steered me wrong yet. You have to drive by three burger chain locations to get to but well worth it. I felt like I stepped back in time to the 50's when I opened the door. read more

All the Yelp reviews brought us in. We thought that it was going to be a sandwich shop, wrong, lol! It is a burger joint. If you want it fried they make it. They make Club, Reuben, Pizza, every kind of burger that you can imagine. I was expecting a very thin "diner" style burger si I ordered a double. These patties were each a 1/2" thick. Why only three stars? The place was quaint but somewhat dirty and the burgers lacked taste. They've been there since the 50's so we must have gotten them on a bad day. If we want a greasy burger again while we're in Iola, we'll try it again read more

Stopped at DQ next door for a generic burger and ice cream but they don't serve food at this DQ...low and behold, Kings is next door. DQ gals suggested it for great burgers. Was recommended that I get the club burger and I am glad I listened. Great burger for sure, I will be stopping here again whenever I pass through the area. And way better than the generic burger I thought I was going to get! read more

This is one of the few places that will still cook a hamburger from scratch to your liking. I ordered a small hamburger without a bun (I don't eat bread) and a side of fried okra. The burger was cooked to my liking perfectly and the okra was delicious....not greasy like some places. They have other items on the menu as well, but the burgers and okra are my fave. A great place to eat! read more

This place is one of those diner buger joints that's been around since the mid-fifties. They make a great burger!!! It's a big 1/2 pounder, and delicious on top of it. It gets pretty busy around lunch time, but it's worth the wait. Try the triple burger challenge. The decor is interesting. LPs of loverboy and other 80's bands are hung on the wall, and there is lots of Elvis and James Dean stuff, and there are the old table side jukeboxes (that don't work) at most of the tables against the walls. Like I said, it's been there since the mid 50s, and so has most of the decor/fixtures. Still a great place. read more

I eat at King's every time I'm driving through Iola. Great burgers and fries! Also, they sale Pepsi products which is a + for me... The only thing that is a disappointment the last time I was there was the old "crunchy ice" machine has broken and the new machine produces only large block ice :( read more
