    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.

They do require a credit card to hold the reservation, which was easy enough. The waitstaff was excellent--very attentive, pleasant, and helpful throughout the evening. We went with the tasting menu, which made dinner feel like more of an experience rather than just a meal. It was a fun way to enjoy several different dishes throughout the evening, and the food was excellent. The wine list was also sufficient with some very good options. Overall, a great experience and a really enjoyable date night downtown. We'll definitely be back!

I sat at the bar and had phenomenal service. I got the Aragon burger with a tallow fries, covered in bacon jam! I will have to say, this is one of the better burgers I've ever had in my life. It came out very hot, juicy, and cooked perfectly. The sauce is super yummy. But it's a grilled onions that really make it. The fries came out hot, crispy, and very tasty. This is a phenomenal restaurant with some very good food. Unless you're lucky you get a seat at the bar, I'm sure reservations are required.

When you walk in, you are hit with the smell of fresh burgers and sides being prepared in front of you. It's a counter order style restaurant where you order first then sit and collect your food after. We tried a little of everything during this visit: Burgers, Sweet potato fries and Parmesan truffle fries. The burger was definitely the star of the show. The Reading Rainbow has a hearty portion of peanut butter on it, combined with their version of jelly, making this burger extremely filling. Now to the fries, and reason for 4 stars. Both of our fries arrived a little cooler than I would expect for freshly made items. The sweet potato fries were crispy, yet lacked flavor. The truffle fries were disappointing. They were very dry and had what seemed like seasoning and cheese dumped in the container. I'd expect some oil for the "truffle" label, but there appeared to be none. Overall, I'd be willing to give Honest Abe's another try for their sides and try another burger to see how it compares!

Drinks were impeccable and food was impeccable. We ordered some cocktails. The young lady servicing us was polite and understanding.

One thing- sides should be equal whether its adult or kids' meal lol. I did want grapes for my sides But its ok. The drinks were wonderfully balanced. And delicious. The food - wonderfully executed My burger patty was charred on the outside and succulent on the inside. ( justice to rhe name of the restaurant) The mushrooms and Swiss cheese melted just right and the truffle aioli on it- perfect. I havent enjoyed a burger so much for a while. Thank you!!! Just a surprise that it was so empty on a Sunday night. Prompt service and delicious food. We will be back!!!

Maaaan... this has to be one of the best food trucks in town. They serve delicious fried chicken and the customer service is on point. This is a 'must-try' for fried chicken enthusiasts. From the moment I stepped up to the window, I was greeted with a warm smile from the young lady which immediately set the tone for the rest of my experience. The menu had a great selection ( fried chicken, pizza puff, cat fish, etc) to choose from, plus fries and a drink. I decided to go for their 6 piece fried chicken meal, which came with a side of perfectly crispy fries and an orange soda. And let me tell you, the chicken was simply amazing. It was cooked to perfection - crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The seasoning was spot on and the chicken was so tender that it melted in my mouth. Even though the service is phenomenal, you're going to have to wait at least 10 minutes for your food to cook up. But it's well worth the wait. The young lady was very attentive to every customer and made sure that we were all catered to quickly and with a smile on her face. Definitely pull up if you're in the area. Great food and great service. This food truck has it all - delicious eats and a friendliness that makes sure you leave with a smile on your face. I will definitely be visiting again soon.
