You can taste the quality and care in every bite.I also want to shout out Dawson, the young man working the counter. He was so kind, respectful, and genuinely great at customer service.

Both Are great, but I have a soft spot for the ones who I can laugh with and really invite to the table!!! Nikki was that! She was very sweet and honest and patient (I am indecisive ahahah) and we really connected. She was just so sweet. Genuinely. Will be coming back for Nikki. Also love that she’s a chef too.

The cashier (white mans 20s-30s dark hair and glasses) was so kind and helped me with all of my questions with a smile, the lovely Hispanic woman who brought out our food also had a big smile. I have never seen such a clean fast food restaurant in my life, seriously the bathroom smelled so good with a hint of bleach, toilets? Absolutely spotless, not a crumb on the floor, tables or counters. Heck even the window sill had no dust on it. Absolutely blown away by the cleanliness and friendliness here. The burger was amazing with perfectly crispy fresh onions. hope upper management can give them some sort of incentive or gift because wow. We will definitely be back!”

“I couldn't find how to leave a review on google so I came here next. My spouse and son came here for a nice lunch. It was super busy but we didn't mind. My partner ordered the BBQ Pork Nachos on Tortilla Chips. (We have tried every single spot in Lincoln that offers these as he is an extreme lover of bbq nachos.) I was already nervous of his rating/review because he is super picky and high maintenance when it comes to his nachos. 🫣🤣 .... But he said these were out of the world amazing. The meat had good flavor, he looooooved the white queso and the bbq sauce was the perfect flavor and consistency. We definitely will be back!!!”

• Drive-Through

“This Runza was very clean and updated. Very friendly service, and man...I have missed those onion rings. Had to take family to try their first Runza while in town, and they enjoyed it. Kind of a bummer they charge for the French onion dip now. Maybe I've been gone so long I didn't realize they've always charged for it. It was still a must to dip my rings in. The Runza w/cheese, frings, a drink and 2 dips was almost $17😱 Crazy times we're living in, and you can tell the prices are affecting business bc we were the only ones there. It's a shame bc this franchise has been a Nebraska staple for years. If I still lived here, the price would dissuade me from eating there often, but if you've never had it and passing through Nebraska, highly recommend.”

“Very Nebraska-specific comfort food. The Runza sandwich is warm, doughy, and oddly satisfying, especially on a cold day. It’s simple, a little nostalgic, and surprisingly filling. Fast-food setup, but locals clearly take this place seriously (and now I get why).”

“Good experience eating dinner here. The tables/seating are spacious and wet had a booth. Plenty of TV's to catch sports. Nachos were good and could have used more queso - loved the taste of the beef and chips were good too. We wouldn't order the grilled cheese on sourdough again tho. Service was great in a busy atmosphere. Can get a little loud if you are looking for quiet - depending on the crowd.”

“Excellent food, service, and a very clean place to eat.As a party of two, we ordered Falafel with a side of fries, Spanakopita with a side of salad and a lentil soup...all vegetarian and freshly made. Food was served in 5-7 minutes, it was absolutely delicious! We haven't had or come across Mediterranean food this good for years, and there was no suffering of repeat, or heartburn hassles afterwards. That was a bonus!I loved that you could see into the kitchen area and watch the cooks at work too. It was all very clean as well. Vegetarian options: Spanakopita with saladFalafel with FriesLentil soupBaklava Parking: Parking is part of the strip mall Kid-friendliness: There is indoor or outdoor seating and they have a high chair for use if needed Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs to enter and wide enough walkway for a wheelchair”

“APPLAUSE!! You made a bad experience one to remember in a positive way. I didn't check my bag until I left the drive thru but noticed right away there was NO FRING to my frings, not only that but I had about 9 fries in the bag (it was a kids meal but there should be more than that). I turned around and went inside and the gentleman in the back saw me and didn't make me wait even 30 seconds. I explained, he apologized and grabbed the bag and went to the back. When he came back my fries were full and i had a few extra rings to enjoy. He topped it off with a complimentary cookie and asked me to have a blessed day. WAY TO GO RUNZA BELMONT!!”

“Service was fast and professional and friendly. Food came out very fast!. The tator tots are amazing and the chicken strips are delicious. Only suggestion i have would be for the Philly wrap. I would use more seasoning on the meat and bell peppers to give it some flavor and maybe sear the wrap in the pan so it gets toasted and crunchy to add for texture. Lighting was also super great. Definitely will come again”
