    Runza... no it does not give you the runs. Seriously, if I had a nickel for every time someone asked me that question... Food: Before anyone inquires as to why I was in Lincoln, Nebraska, I'd like to ask why not Lincoln? Did you automatically dismiss the place as having terrible food? Did you know anything about the food here to begin with? Anyway, it was a learning experience for me. I came to visit my very dear friend who is here to complete her last year of education. They have a fast food chain called Runza which serves *drumroll* runzas. What is a runza? It's the Midwestern equivalent of a pirogi or an empanada filled with meat, and onions baked in a crust. I got the original Runza sandwich (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tVYj_vmZO916gzBAKUEbqQ?select=PKAgLMq-Sosn-Rc-8-omuw#I_RbRmjtruwiXwtx7JoDyw, open shot http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tVYj_vmZO916gzBAKUEbqQ?select=PKAgLMq-Sosn-Rc-8-omuw#cdYjKlFGvOiLQy5n6pLniw), a steaming hot meat pocket containing ground beef, melted cheese, minced onions, and pepper. I have to say that it wasn't half bad. In fact, it was actually really good. Plus, the idea of having a fast food chain that serves meat pies is downright appealing to me. Always the adventurous one, my boo tried the burger (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tVYj_vmZO916gzBAKUEbqQ?select=PKAgLMq-Sosn-Rc-8-omuw#JFHk_ycRVAcTKNrMgsidBA) and fries (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tVYj_vmZO916gzBAKUEbqQ?select=PKAgLMq-Sosn-Rc-8-omuw#m7oOU1JukReJDmRtoHWfvg). While the fries were crispy with just the right amount of salt, the burger was McDonald's bad. I might be biased since I live in a city that claims to have invented the cheeseburger, but this was truly an insult to burgers everywhere. Atmosphere: Runza is a fast food chain that you can only find in Nebraska. I appreciated their tables decorated with a road map of the state (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tVYj_vmZO916gzBAKUEbqQ?select=PKAgLMq-Sosn-Rc-8-omuw#PKAgLMq-Sosn-Rc-8-omuw). It actually gave us some good ideas for places to visit. Service: It's fast food, so I wasn't expecting much. Not enough interaction to judge. Synopsis: Definitely a new thing for me. It would be interesting if there were a Runza in Socal.

    Terrible service. Didn't receive an item on my order so I called them to ask about it. They told me I was wrong and hung up on me.

    I went 7/15 at about 1:50 pm and the drive through employee gave me the best service of my life. Great kid with maturity and charism.

    We went to Jersey Mike's for take out. My daughter, who can't eat beef ordered a Chipotle Chicken…read moreSandwich. When we got home, we discovered that they had given her something beef instead. I tried calling the number on the receipt only to get a very generic "Leave a message" recording - nothing that identified it as the store. So we drove back to the store and explained the situation. We said, "And we would like a free sandwich or something to make up for the gas we used having to come back. The girl shrugged her shoulders and said, "I can't do that. All I can do is give you the other sandwich." We asked to see the manager and she replied, "I am the manager." We asked to see the owner and were told, "The owner is going to tell you the same thing I'm telling you." The lack of customer service was appalling. We will not be eating there again and will be telling everyone we know not to eat there either. The overall attitude was "We messed up and really couldn't care less about it." So for the price of another sandwich or a free cookie or some small gesture that said, "We're so sorry, here, let us make it up to you." they have instead purchased a bad review and a negative word of mouth campaign.

    I am a transplant to Lincoln from Boston, MA. I would go to Jersey Mike's in West Roxbury, MA,…read morephenominal! Lo and behold, I am going down O Street with my grandkids, both ravenous teenager's that had never had a Jersey Mike's sub before. A quick right turn into the parking lot and it's off to the races. I told them to order by the number. For once, they read the menu quickly and I rounded up their numbers, and away we go. We got "Regulars", I warned them about the Large! My points carried over from Boston, two of the subs were free as I had never cashed them in in WR. They watched (stared) at their sandwiches were prepared, from the cuts, to the add-on's and when we got out of the door and back into the car, they had both started on their subs, and said "WOW" in unison. It doesnt' get better than that! Great job all the way around, I highly reccomend Jersey Mike's (as I am now the "Best Grand-dad ever"). Enjoy!

    For many years, The Eatery has been a fixture in east-central Lincoln. I'd heard plenty of positive…read morecomments about the restaurant over the years, so I finally decided to stop in for lunch and see what it was all about. Unfortunately, the first impression could use some improvement. Upon entering, guests step into a small lobby with two interior doors--one designated as the entrance and the other as the exit. Once inside, a host greets you, hands you a menu, and escorts you to your table. Along the way, you pass the restaurant's salad bar, which should serve as an inviting showcase of the food offered inside. Instead, the salad bar was the low point of my visit. On the day I was there, it appeared messy and poorly maintained. A salad bar requires constant attention to keep it looking fresh, attractive, and clean, and that simply wasn't the case during my visit. Given its prominent location, it creates an impression that management should work harder to improve. The Eatery's menu, however, is extensive and impressive. There's truly something for everyone. The unlimited salad bar is priced at $14.99, or $7.99 when added to an entrée. Based on what I observed, that seemed a bit steep, so I decided to pass. Instead, I ordered the Smokey Chicken Stacker with fries on the recommendation of my server. It turned out to be an excellent choice. The sandwich was flavorful, the fries were perfectly prepared, and the meal arrived at my table less than ten minutes after ordering--a testament to an efficient kitchen. Overall, I came away believing that The Eatery serves solid food, but the décor, atmosphere, and overall layout feel somewhat dated and uninspiring. The appearance of the salad bar was the biggest negative of the experience for me. Would I return? If I lived or worked in the neighborhood, probably yes. However, since I don't, it's unlikely that I would make a special trip back.
