    Frings
    Troy K.

    When it comes to fast food there is not a ton of variety. Burgers,chicken, Mexican, sandwiches or occasionally fish or hot dogs. Runza has a totally different and unique thing. A runza is a yeast dough bread pocket with a filling consisting of beef, cabbage, onions, and seasonings. I had to try their mushroom swiss runza. The bread is so soft and yeasty. The filling is delicious and the cabbage is mostly in the background giving some crunch. I don't know how to describe the seasoning. It's so delicious and fresh. It's a mostly Nebraska thing. They also have burgers and they are also great. Nothing really unique but just fresh and done well. They offer crinkle fries and onion rings together as Frings or separately. Get the Frings. You can get an onion dip with them that's also unique. Overall if you see a Runza give it shot. It's not only unique it delicious.

    the fries and onion rings are good, you can order "Fr-rings" and get a combo of both

    Service was great in that we were greeted by a friendly counterman who provided an excellent description of a "Runza" sandwich (for us southerners who hadn't heard of them). And he told us of the additional choices that are not posted on the overhead menu board. The Runza is kind of like a small Stromboli, but German style with ground beef and cabbage instead of italian sausage and marinara sauce. They have multiple variations of the sandwich - I hope to try some variations if we run across another Runza in our travels.

    They need to let us do half stars because this is is def a 3.5. This is our first trip in and we would come back to this or any other in the franchise. The kids behind the counter were very nice and helpful for us first timers. The place itself was pretty clean and lots of people in at lunch time on a Sunday. I like the simplicity of the menu. It means that they've picked their niche and want to excel there. It also makes service very fast. I love the concept of their sandwiches which is kind of a stuffed sandwich bun. The meat was very well seasoned and the cheese was nice and melty. They also offer "frings"which is have fries, half rings for your side. Also hot fresh and tasty. What really took away a the stars here was the amount of salt they used. Holy cow it's our whole week's worth of RDA! Really detracted from the experience for us. Like I said, we'll be back but would have to deliberately ask to hold the salt on the frings.

    I thought this place was great for a fast food place...never had a sandwich melt in my mouth like that...i got the spicy steak and it was very tasty....the fries were real good too...workers were very friendly, and the restaurant was very clean..

    See all

    The food in general was not great. The staff was not kind. In the end I wouldn't go back, if I really craved a milkshake then maybe.

    Try their classic sandwich with cheese. It's definitely delicious and you'll want it again...too bad you can only find them in Nebraska

    My family also tried a few different burgers, pretty sure all the shake flavors, chicken strips and the classic chicken sandwich.

    Food was good. I do need to commend our waitress, Heather. She did an excellent job serving us and…read morethe entire restaurant - apparently she was the only wait staff working at the time we were there!

    May 6th dinner at Applebee's was disappointing, to say the least. I honestly don't even know where…read moreto begin. First, the entire beer tap system was down. They only had a few bottled beers available in the cooler, and they were not common choices most people would order. I had specifically planned to relax, enjoy dinner, and have a few cold beers, so that was frustrating right from the start. The bartop itself appeared clean, but behind the bar was another story. The shelf where the mixer cups are stored looked dirty, and the stainless steel surfaces behind the bar clearly had not been cleaned or maintained properly. Considering how slow the restaurant was on a Wednesday evening, there really was no excuse for the lack of cleanliness and presentation. In my opinion, management is clearly lacking and does not seem to care about the appearance of the restaurant. There were dirty glasses sitting in the sink waiting to be washed, and the overall atmosphere just felt neglected. The food only made things worse. My mozzarella sticks came out cold, while the marinara sauce was scorching hot, like it had been overheated in the microwave. It honestly felt like the sauce was expected to warm the mozzarella sticks back up. My fries were also completely cold with no heat whatsoever. The burger itself was actually good, but by that point the overall experience had already ruined the meal. One interaction with the staff also rubbed me the wrong way. Someone brought my burger from behind the bar, and when I politely asked for ketchup and mustard, he repeated my request back sarcastically and pointed me toward the bartender, saying she would get it for me. What makes this even more disappointing is that I was genuinely excited to find an Applebee's nearby. I even changed my hotel reservation to stay next door because I was looking forward to having a good meal and relaxing for the evening. Instead, the entire experience was terrible. Applebee's should be ashamed of the condition and management of this location. I honestly believe if the franchise owners walked in unannounced, there would be new management immediately.
