We were in Ogallala for the night and ran out to grab a bite to eat. We'd never heard of Runza before but the menu looked pretty good, so we decided to give it a try. First of all, we walked in to find a vacuum sitting in the middle of the lobby with the cord strung out all over. There was a lady with a walker in front of us waiting to order, along with several older people. I kept watching to make sure someone didn't trip and fall. Hello, lawsuit waiting to happen but I digress. On to the food... My husband and I both ordered a swiss mushroom Runza. The best I can ascertain is whoever created the Runza said "hey, let's take a hot pocket but make it really sh*tty!". It might have been the worst sandwich I've ever eaten. The bread was soggy and the filling had a super weird taste. I will say, the fries and onion rings with the French onion dip were pretty good, so there's that at least. I'm afraid this meal will make me Runza to the bathroom all night. Yikes. read more

Runza - Swiss Mushroom Runza - Burgers Near Me - Ogallala, Nebraska

Clean, great counter folks, order came out quickly and terrific bathrooms - everything a person needs when traveling I80. Pro tip if you are new to Tunsa - get the #1 with frings (fries and rings) for a slight up charge or if it's winter, order the cinnamon rolls + chili combo, it's a Nebraska classic! read more

Runza - Welcome site for hungry travellers on I80 - Burgers Near Me - Ogallala, Nebraska

Fast friendly drive thru. Seems not many people order from the app because they were scrambling around to find order and asked me what i ordered when i got to the window. Nonetheless, service was still quick and friendly. Food was warm but the fries werent extra crispy like i ordered. The mushroom and Swiss runza was very delicious. I like the idea of a fresh hot pocket. Makes it easy to eat while driving. Wish they had all runzas on the combo menu on the app. Also got a kids chicken tender meal and they were definitely not worth reordering. Got the watermelon lemonade which was very sweet but refreshing. I added it to my sparkling water and it hit the spot and changed the sweetness to my liking. read more

I read that Nebraska was known for Runzas. So I decided to try one. I was the only on in the drive thru. The building looked run down and it didn't really look like it was open. The drive thru was definitely confusing. As for the runza itself, not the best meal one can ask for. It was salty, greasy and very bland. The closest thing I can describe this to is sliders from White Castle. I'm not sure what their hours are, but perhaps runzas taste better when the sun is down after a few beers. read more

just went through Ogallala on our way to a basketball game. We order my daughter a runza meal with fries and ranch....thegal read the order back to us but when we got the order it was fries and no sauce. No biggie daughter said it was fine but she would like ranch...so we waited...& waited...& waited at the drive through window. When she finally came back she was rude..the orange hair and piercings should've gave it away. Probably shouldn't have someone like that running the drive through window. read more

How did I ever find this place? I pulled over in a parking lot to find a quick bite to eat. Little did I know I was right in a fast food parking lot and didn't know it. It's not a traditional service fast food restaurant. You order in the back of the lot and drive through the parking lot to a window where you pick up your food. I ordered the #1, a traditional Runza meal which included fresh fries and a lemonade. I didn't know what you expect and surprised at what the sandwhich was. A perfectly fresh 8 inch roll with ground hamburger, onions and cabbage. The meat was ground well. The onion and cabbage were almost like minced or cut in mini pieces and mixed into the hamburger. The sandwhich was warm and bread super soft. I really enjoyed the flavor but "shut the front door", the sodium had to be off the charts. It was fresh and quick. A little pricy seeing how the bread was not full of meat or veggies but it was fun fun place to visit. Thank you for your hard work! read more

Stopped in on our way thru town. It took 35 minutes for a to go order. Under staffed and swamped space. I would suggest not going during any busy hours like lunch or dinner. And it's too bad because the Swiss Runza is usually amazing. read more

Clean restaurant and bathrooms. Great food, always good when your fast food is actually good. Good stop on a road trip!

Runzas are a Nebraska favorite. Expect ground beef with onion in a thin layer of bread. They have decent burgers too. Save room for some of their creamy ice cream. Every Tuesday in January and February, the temperature at 6am is the price of a Runza. This location did an exceptional job making my BBQ Bacon Runza (an item on the "hidden" menu). I could see and taste the meat, onion, cheese, bacon, and BBQ sauce. Most locations skimp (or skip) one or more of the ingredients. The register accepted my chip-and-pin credit card (unusual for a Runza). They're nestled in the back of what used to be a large convenience store, so the layout is weird. Note that you should use the fountain machine to the left of the counter, not the one you pass on the way to the counter! read more

First time trying Runza, and it was good. The place was clean and the service was quick; and the food was pretty good. I'm definitely doing to stop in again next time I'm passing through. read more

Had we made a mistake in deciding to try Runza here at a gas station?? My friend and I are from out of town, and decided to give this Nebraskan fast food chain a try since it was off the 80 on our way to Omaha. We had heard so much about these sandwiches being amazing so it was easy to decide where we would stop by for our lunch break. ...Man, wish we had gone to McDonalds instead. If this is what Runza is like, we're really not fans. Our sandwiches were lukewarm and uninspiring. It felt like they had just slapped some random meats and sauces into a Costco bun that I could have gotten myself. Not to mention their sauces did not taste very good even when it smothered the meat. While it was a cheap meal, it ended up being a very bleh meal altogether. Save yourself the trouble of trying a Nebraskan chain and go elsewhere if you're in the area. read more

Driving back from checking on his parents and got hungry. Thought they didn't have a drive thru so we got gas but then noticed a drive thru menu by their tall store sign. So we decided to check it out. Drove up to the menu, and yay! Fish sandwich featured. Only took me three tries to find something I want to eat on the menu. Operator error. He got a Burger this time. Meals of course because French fries are life. Then we followed the faint lines towards the building. And there was a drive thru window - crazy. The server was nice and we got our meals to eat in the parking lot. Fish sandwich a little over fried so it was crunchier than I like and a little burnt taste. But it was a fish sandwich so amazing! His burger was tasty and we both felt better after our meals. Next time I'll be prepared with what I want to order. read more

Do not eat here! We love eating at Runza whenever we come to Nebraska. We grabbed our food and hit the road. We quickly discovered all of our food was cold. We should have turned around but we had to get to our destination. Also, their bathrooms are NASTY. read more

I wish I could give this Runza location 0 stars. Each time I drive back to Nebraska from Colorado, I am eager to get Runza since we don't have any locations in Denver. Many times I have had issues at this particular location (cold cheese on Runza, being sold out of Runzas, etc.) but I keep giving them a chance because I figure, "it just happens". Well.. today was my last straw. My husband and I each ordered a Runza and they were rock hard, the meat was burnt, the cheese was cold and the cheese was on 1/4th of my Runza. The things hardly even resembled a typical Runza! This was extremely upsetting and I will avoid returning to this particular location. Oh, and they forgot my ranch. :) read more

Runza - Dried out, rock hard Cheese Runza Sandwich - Burgers Near Me - Ogallala, Nebraska

How do I love Runz? let me count the ways. This is great travel food. Easy in and out location. If you have no idea what a Runza is, here ya go. It all started in 1949 with the Original Runza® Sandwich. Homemade dough made from scratch everyday -- stuffed full of ground beef, onions, cabbage, and secret spices--and then baked fresh and served hot. Homemade bread stuffed with meat and stuff... how can one NOT love this. Our family does not have many traditions, but making a stop for this sandwhich is one of the highlights of the drive home from Des Moines or Omaha. Trust me.. the drive doesn't have many highlights to begin with. Drive through is normally pretty quick, but worth the wait even if it isn't. read more

My first experience eating a Runza was amazing! Being from California I had never experienced such a fabulous taste. We are Missing out in CA on such a great Sandwhich! What an amazing place. Also - Leslie was beyond friendly and kind to us as travelers! Thank you Leslie you have excellent customer service skills. If the company has expansion goals please take a look at Orange County! read more

Finally found the cinnamon rolls outside of Lincoln. They are uniquely delicious. So sweet (good) that they feel like they are gooey and sticking to your teeth, but are actually delightfully fluffy. Krautburgers are stand by. Typical hit or miss with drive through, but usually pretty good. Runza's hamburgers are much better than the King or the Clown, and a nice offering for those afraid of vegetables. Runza fries are my favorites. The onion rings were better here than our stop in Ogalalla. But again, fast-food luck of the draw. If you like a krautburger, this is a decent place to stop. read more

Every where else was packed-they we're fast and the food was good! No issues, we would definitely return. Good value for your money too!

Fast and good. Fries and onions rings together!! One can get a box of frozen Runzas if you pre order them over phone.

We love Runza. We weren't hungry when we were in North Platte, so this one was perfect for us. This one is connected to the gas station, so if you need the bathroom, its on the other side of the store. Their parking lot/drive-thru has an odd configuration, so look both ways before driving or parking. :) They have Pepsi. read more

Don't get me wrong, the food is pretty good. Although, they need to think about who is at the cash register. She was very hard to understand and has horrible customer service. in my opinion, part of taking orders when you have multiple side choices is saying, "Are fries okay?", or something of the sort. She did not, therefore I was stuck without my preferred side dish. I didn't even get a chance to specify what I wanted. She just immediately said it into the microphone. She didn't take the time to be sure that the customer was satisfied, and there wasn't even anyone else waiting! read more

Quite clean for a fast food restaurant located within a gas station. We stayed at a hotel next door so the convenience factor is what brought us here. The Runza sandwiches are like glorified hot pockets. Hubs had the mushroom swiss. Said it was ok. Never was a hot pocket fan. I had the burger the Runza way. Not horrible. The frings were worth the up-charge. The $1 ice creams were also a winner. The line was surprisingly long in both the restaurant and drive thru when we left around 12:30. Guess they have a local following so they may be on to something. read more

Runza - Runza....a bit greasy. Yuck. - Burgers Near Me - Ogallala, Nebraska

I have been told many times, "If you're in the Midwest, you just have to stop at a Runza"! Last time I was in Nebraska, the one we passed was close was closed for the day. So I was pretty excited to spot one on a trip through this time. We pulled in anxious to give these "marvels of the culinary world a try". And....I just didn't get it. They weren't horrible, but they certainly weren't good. At all I can't figure out why "I just had to have one." Runza is definitely a been there, done that, don't want to again situation for me. Maybe I set my expectations too high, but sorry guys. Nope. read more

This place was awful. Beyond the speed of service, the employees were terrible, save one girl. I arrived with my brothers on a cross-country trip to see a girl flashing the guys and one encouraging her to keep doing it. He said he could take my order but then kept looking back at the girl to presumably see if he could get another glimpse. The other workers, save the (non-flashing) girl, were swearing and clearly not taking their job seriously. The girl finally stepped up, finished my order, and made sure we got our food. read more

I like to try new restaurants, whether they are more of a dining experience or fast food. Turns out I should have gone to Subway. This place is terrible. The onion rings were crap and the Philly Runza was a big sloppy soggy mess. Truly disgusting. Don't bother coming here. For a gourmet meal, try McDonald's instead read more

We stop here every time we drive through and love it. They have always been good here. Our family are big Runza fans!

I love Runza. I went to our hometown one in Ogallala a week ago and I was so disappointed that I won't go back unless things change dramatically. I used to think that Sidney's Runza was the worst one. Now Ogallala holds that title. The Runza that I ordered was so small and thin, broken in 3 places and had very little filling. I will drive the 50 miles and go eat at the one in North Platte the next time I want a Runza. read more

Probably the slowest Runza I've ever been to. Waited about 15 minutes for my order, which was then incorrect. The older dude working the window, bless his heart, was very friendly but absolutely clueless and unsure of what was going on. On the plus side, the food tasted solid, as Runza food almost always does. read more

Normally all runza restaurants are top qualuty. For the first time in probably 30 years I had a lousy, overcooked Runza sandwich. Is also located in a truck stop and I find most truck stop or C store restaurants are not the same quality as their stand alone counterparts. read more
