    Delicious and fast. We stopped here for lunch today. Love the drive through. I tried the spicy jack runza with frings (fries and onion rings). My hubs and always gets the original. Mine was spicy and delicious! I was not disappointed. I love that they salt their fries and onion rings.

    Not really sure exactly what a Runza is (native Texans) but we do know that when we are in Nebraska, we find one!! A Runza is a mix of browned ground beef and melted cheese, with some cooked cabbage, onions, and spices stirred in. This loose meat pie filling is sealed in a year dough and served up hot and melty, ooey gooey and delicious!! Now don't get me wrong: Runza will NEVER displace tacos or BBQ for this Texan, but when in Nebraska, RUNZA and get yerself a Runza!! 5 cool regional cuisine stars

    I am now officially a Runzatic. After many trips to Nebraska, I finally was convinced to try Runza. The Runza is hamburger meat in something like a hot dog bun. They are also known for their Crispy, crinkle cut French fries. It made me remember the french fries from my elementary school. Did i mention that this chain has a Quirky sense of humor ?? Runzatic is actually a word according to them. Their tray liners have a printed contract that you can fill out to become a Runzatic. Finally, i didn't get one, but as part of the standard fountain drinks, they have something called a Runza slushie. It looked like an Icee, but different. P.s, they have really Friendly employees, but you expect that in a place like Columbus, NE

    Not to hungry this evening but wanted some French fries!!! Hubby & I decided to go to Runza!!! We went through the drive thru!! We ordered one large fry and one Jr cheeseburger and asked for ketchup for the fries!! We drove up to the window to pay!! At that time we asked the lady if they could cut the cheeseburger in half for us, she said of course we can!! Not only did we get fresh food and the ketchup we request we also received wonderful service!! It's not very often you go through a drove thru and get exactly what you ordered and fresh food!!! That little cheeseburger was amazing!!! The fries were hot and fresh!!! Loved it!!! Thanks Runza!!!

    The sandwich was quite different. The pictures gave it no justice. It's simple yet flavorful.

    This place was certainly different. I really don't know why I haven't thought of a sandwich like this before. It's just chopped meat and cheese on like a hotdog bun...hmmm...In the lobby they have a slushie machine, brilliant!! Tip: get a coke, then add slushie...yum!

    Grilled chicken smothered sandwich. So soggy the bag was soaked, the wrapper fell apart, had to eat it with a knife and fork.

    Ask for fresh fries as they are always over cooked and old. No matter how busy they are anymore.

    When wondering where to go, Runza is always a good choice for their consistency, both in food quality and friendly service.

    A traditional stop when I'm back home. The cheeseburger Runza is always a classic, a must try.

    My Runza with cheese was okay, the crinkle cut fries were crispy and better than expected.

    Great food and service. Nice portions and reasonable prices. Comfortable neighborhood feel. Tito…read moreand his crew go above and beyond. Don't pass up a chance to eat there.

    I found myself in Columbus NE for a one-day conference that didn't offer lunch, so naturally I…read morewanted to try the best that this town had to offer. When I entered burrito King, it was about 11:15 a.m. and I was the only one in there that early, I was greeted by two very friendly people who were very attentive as I first ordered fajitas and then decided I couldn't come to burrito King without getting a burrito. Quick aside, the worst burrito of my life was in Oslo Norway, I've still been balancing that experience with above average burritos in the Midwest. The special of the day was the big belly burrito after considering this I went with just the regular size steak burrito. I got it without sour cream and without cheese and asked for onions which they agreed to add. They also brought spicy salsa and regular salsa which I had to mix together because the spicy was too spicy and the regular was something my mom could eat. As I waited what turned out to be four and a half minutes for my burrito I looked around at the ambiance the restaurant had to offer. Particularly the brightly colored walls and the equally brightly colored paintings that adorned most of the walls. Like I said the burrito came out very quickly, and when it did the flour tortilla shell was the best toasted shell of my young life. It was also quite large, not big belly large but plenty as I had to return to the conference and give a presentation. I used most of the salsa mix on the burrito which was, beyond The toasted shell decent. The lettuce, steak, and onions were good, but not necessarily seasoned in a way that will have me craving them in the future. However, if I found myself in Columbus again, in need of a solid and affordable lunch option, I'd come back to Burrito King and probably try the big belly. I'd request they add onion and rice.
