Well, I'm from a different part of the USA, but I loved this. I'll probably get some hate for saying this, but for "foreigners" I'd say the Runza is the mixedgrass prairie version of WI/MI/Mn Cornish pasties, Midwest's bierocks, or even empanadas. Basically it is a scrumptious, hand held meat pie. Runzas are rectangular, unlike the meat pies found in some other places. Typically the crust is filled with ground meat (several kinds available), and almost all edition include cabbage as well, which sets it apart from some things like many versions of pasties (at least the ones that I've had). Some come with cheese, some with mushrooms, and they even offer a Southwest version that includes fried taco strips. Personally I liked the original best, but on my second trip I got the Spicy Jack Runza. I won't say it was a disappointment because it tasted good, but it's not really spicy! However, I suspect that is because the cheese soothes any heat. And mine had plenty of cheese. Yes it was delicious, but I'd prefer it either be spicier or that they omit the cheese. I don't actually know if they will do either, but try it if you live near one (and like spicy foods); if I ever return to Nebraska, I'm going to try. There were several of us on these visits, and we ordered both fries and onion rings to share, along with the French onion dip. Both were fine, actually quite good in some ways, but by no means the star of the show. Neither were "exceptional" and didn't outshine the Runza. The French onion dip really helped the onion rings, but not the fries. The fries were not as crisp as we generally like, but they were fine, fully cooked, and soft on the inside. By no means the best we've had, but we certainly ate them all. The onion rings were quite good. To be honest, I can only recall three or four places that I felt had better onion rings. Crispy outside and soft onion inside. But the batter has little flavor on its own, so I recommend the French onion dip. Definitely returning. Even hoping they open a franchise near me. read more

I ordered on the app at 631 and the order was to be ready by 642pm Went to the drive up window at 641 and let the young man know our name. A second young person came on the speaker and asked for our name THREE times. The first person came back on and we let him know are name once again. He indicated our order was ready. We are now at the window and they are just putting our order together. Time 646pm This is not the first time. Ordered a Runza with a side salad on the app. Went through the line and then told to pull over because they were making the salad. The salad was limp and the lettuce was rusty. This is the only Runza that we have had issues read more

It's runza. It's amazing. Burgers and runzas are both great. They had great service and the building was clean. No sticky seats or anything. Super delicious and hot! read more

Runza is a favorite. When we come to Nebraska we have to have one during our visit. We ordered a cheese Runza and a burger. Both with fries. The service was slow. The cheese Runza was pretty good, but not as good as I remembered. The fries weren't hot and tasted like maybe the oil was not fresh. The burger was a disappointment. Dry, bun wasn't as good. It didn't taste fresh. This location needs some TLC! We went to another location at 56th and Holdredge and it was delicious. I recommend that location. read more

Passing through state and had to try. The Runza with cheese did not disappoint. The bun it comes in was really good and the meat inside was super hot. Ice cream cone was great and only a dollar. Rayla at the register was friendly and service was extremely fast. read more

I love cheese runza and their burgers, fries and onion rings are great, always quick order and short wait for pickup! Side salad good and fresh! Friendly employees!, read more

First time hearing about this fast food chain and gave it a try. We just had the rueben and were super full. The cashier was friendly and suggested to try the kid's meal. Had the mushrooms and cheese sandwich with frings. Those frings were hot and sandwich was soft and yummy. Will definitely try again if we see this restaurant again in the future! read more

The service was fast and friendly. The Runza sandwich was DELICIOUS!! The restaurant was clean! We will return!! read more

I came to runza for the first time since I moved to Lincoln a few months ago. Their Swiss Mushroom Burger was delicious I also liked the fries. I had a twisted ice cream cone it was also tasty. I will have to try one of the Runza's next time. I haven't had these kinds of fries in a while they were also delicious. I'll be sure to come back in the future and try everything else on the menu. read more

Food was disgusting! cheese didn't even melt! If I give them a second chance I'll be trying something else on the menu because the Runza (or whatever the heck it is) was nasty! People were nice though! read more

Once back in Nebraska a stop here is a must, I wish they had a few restaurants in California. I ordered the mushroom and Swiss cheese combo, with the Italian Runza as an adder. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and order something. read more

Runza - Comfy - Burgers Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

Wow. The guy running the drive through was possibly the rudest person I've experienced in quite some time. I clearly stated my order and was given a total that didn't match what we had ordered. So when we pulled up to the actual window, we confirmed what the order should have been, and the order was taken incorrectly. We quickly corrected the order and the gentleman was very short and rude when updating the price. When he gave us the food, he practically shoved the bags into the car and then quickly shut the window in our face. When we got home and opened our order, we discovered what can only be described as the saddest looking cinnamon roll to ever grave this planet. Perhaps this poor kid was just having a bad day, but that's still no excuse to be that rude. read more

Came in from out of state looking forward to a home state favorite.Cheese Runza with Large Onion rings. Everything was fresh the sandwich was great but the Onion rings were cooked in dirty / old oil that pretty much ruined them. Would have given 5 star but the onion ring dirty old oil used to cook them takes a down from 5 to three stars read more

This place is disgusting...did you know that they don't use real cheese on their burgers??

If you have never been here, things to try: Onion Rings- don't forget the onion ring dip (it is out of this world good) Cheeseburgers Runza- they have different kind if you are not sure you will like the regular kind. Love this place. read more

This is a must stop when going through Nebraska. Order the Runza, a specialty of Nebraska. It is homemade dough stuffed full if ground beef, onions, cabbage and secret spices. It's baked fresh and served hot. Several varieties are available. I loved the Swiss cheese and mushroom version. My husband had the spicy Jack version. read more

A staple when I go through Nebraska! I love their burgers! And especially their fries!! Also you have to get a Runza and if you don't know what one is, it is a delicious hamburger and cabbage stuffed roll that is baked to a golden brown. It sounds odd but it is absolutely delicious!! Runza is a Nebraska Classic and I have to stop when I go through!!! But their burgers are also really great as well!!! read more

Had to eat here when I was visiting from out of town. Their cheeseburgers are really the best. The meat tastes super fresh and not a pressed patty like other fast food places. They're fries are awesome, too! If you haven't tried a Runza- do it!!! read more

Runza - Cheeseburger and fries - Burgers Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

Have always enjoyed the local Runza restaurants, but have noticed in last few months the quality is really going down hill. The burgers use to be just like homemade, hanging off the bun. Now any time at any location, they are tiny and over cooked. More like the size of a jr. burger. They've also changed the bun, its now larger and harder and more yellow, it changes the over all taste of the burger. Makes us not want to return. Prices gone up and size and quality of burger gone way down. Plus had no ketchup at the pump, we had to hunt and ask around for packets at least. read more

Your typical Runza fast food joint, the food is good and everyone I've been... The wait time has never disappointed me.

Im gonna keep this review real simple. Runza's may be one of the most under-rated "sandwiches" ever! And when you add the onion rings with the dipping sauce, you may have just eaten a small piece of heaven. After living in Omaha/Lincoln for 10 years then moving away to Texas I seriously took for granted all that is Runza. So after over 10 years without a Runza and Onion Rings I was desperately craving Runza. And when that moment finally arrived to enjoy a Runza I savored every single morsel. Runza's are soft and warm and creamy and just plain delicious. My favorite is the Swiss and Mushroom Runza. All I must say is if you live near a Runza, YOU GOTTA CHERISH IT! Dont take it for granted because one day you may have to pick up and move to some other damn state that doesn't have a Runza and then you may go 10 freaking years without a Runza...OMG! So yeah...cherish it! read more

Excellent! First time here great prices, good burgers, and the kids loved it. Only downside is no coke prodcts, only Pepsi. I just drank water instead so no biggie. Service was good too. Never been to Lincoln before and I didn't see any whataburgers so this will do. read more

A must stop when in Nebraska. Food is always fresh but it's pretty standard burgers & fries food. Good chili - but the big claim to fame are the Runza pockets. Filled with ground beef, cabbage & onions...most people here love them, I don't like them - but you should give one a try when in Nebraska. Runza is like a bizarro McDees combined with Wendy's and BK. read more

I had the Swiss and mushroom runza. I did not enjoy it at all. It was too soggy. The bread was too thick. And made my stomach hurt. I really wanted to like it! :( 2 stars for the cookie and service. Which were good. read more

Good service most of the time. Last week the young girl forgot our shake and then was rude when I asked her to charge me for one. the construction and the driveway being next to taco inn is annoying. I'm always worried that other customers will be leaving and I can't see them. read more

Had to try a Runza. Well worth the trip. It was pretty dam good! I would defiantly try another one. Little pricy at four and a half bucks, but mighty tasty. read more

Today I tried the Runza Chicken Strips. They were very good but a little dry for me. This is something to try if you drink lots of liquid with your meals. read more

After dinner, I ordered one of your 5.4 ounce ice cream cones for .99 cents! You should be in jail for manipulating the public and serving that rabbit droppings of an ice cream cone! I realize it was only .99 cents, but you should be ashamed! read more

Runzas are really good, but we go there a lot for their dollar mini shakes and cookies. Not to many places you can go and get dessert for the whole family for under 5 dollars. read more

I I had a Runza the other day for a dollar 99 with coupon and it was nothing like the picture not enough filling I will never buy another one for that price it's a total rip-off I had a burger today for the same price a dollar 99 coupon and it was dry and it really sucked I will not go to Runza again read more

I'm only giving this one star because I have to.. This filthy animals give shame to the runza franchise. To start with I ordered 3 bottles of water and she only gave me two, even after repeating my order! I also orders 3 chicken breasts on my salad and I know damn well what a chicken breast looks like and this was ALMOST one full (small) chicken breast and it was BUNRT AND DRY. My son ordered a runza meal. His runza was flat sawgy and burnt and tastes like a wet paper towel. His fries were also burnt. DO NOT GO TO THIS RUNZA. It' has go to be the most consistently awful runza in town. read more
