Let's talk about how the hands-down greatest fast food location in Nebraska has spent years sliding into mediocrity. This review covers all Runzas not just the one in Seward. Runza is a Nebraska based chain. That is a hometown favorite across the state. Growing up they were famous for having fresh handmade large beef patty burgers that would fill you up. And their titular Runza That made them famous, is a staple in most Nebraska household. Their onion rings were legendary, and they invented something They called onion ring dip that was the first dip option I ever encountered that cost extra and was worth every penny. The best of the best, the pinnacle of fast food, the thing I would demand, growing up, more than a happy meal, more than ice cream, was the Italian Runza. I imagine the Italian Runza is what the Israelites called Manna when God provided it to them in the wilderness because I cannot imagine anything closer to food from heaven. Then as time went on it seems they have started to cut corners and compromise on standards. I think the first sign of trouble was when I noticed they stopped, calling their namesake Runzas, going with: "Oven stuffed sandwiches" instead of simply Runzas. I imagine it was a move by some marketing team trying to justify their fees. But have confidence in what made you famous. Don't second-guess yourself and start tinkering with a tried and true classic Then The once fantastic burgers that could fill you up became thinner, and I have no proof but suspect frozen. They don't taste fresh and they're not as filling or satisfying anymore. They used to have a burger they called the legend supreme. It was a perfect mix of the ingredients they had on hand from various other burgers combined into perfection..... they don't offer it anymore. They still have all of the same ingredients on hand. But if you try to order it, you get met with confusion, and if you try as I have to order a burger and customize it with the ingredients of the legend supreme, you are rolling the dice and will get it correct about 50% of the time. The once famous onion, ring dip, so good that in college, when my friends would want to go somewhere somewhere else for food, I would drive through Runza afterwards and get two sides of dip so I could put it on other restaurants food to make it better, changed its recipe and now they just call it French onion dip and it's just OK. I wouldn't drive across town just for dip like I used to anymore. It is so mediocre that some of their locations don't even serve it today. Don't forget to pour one out for the passing of Lincoln's "rock 'n' roll Runza" the place where I always wanted to celebrate my birthday is growing up. Even the construction of the Runza sandwich itself has changed with the times. And the WORST tragedy, the thing that makes me melancholy at least twice a week every week, they took the single greatest fast food item ever created, The mana from heaven itself, the Italian Runza off of the menu. Once in a while, like every five years, they will bring it back for a week or two just to remind you how good you could have it if only they would allow you to. It's like they want to tempt you with happiness only so they can pull the rug out from under you and watch you cry for the next five years settling for just OK sustenance. They have done other stupid things like taking away the large size and making all their fries, onion rings, and frings one size fits all on their value meal. And they are constantly rolling out gimmick burgers of the moment that don't satisfy. But let's not wallow in the minor inconveniences. We all know the loss of the original onion, ring dip recipe and the Italian Runza are why we cry ourselves to sleep at night. If you are looking at trying this restaurant for the first time. It is OK. It is as good as any fast food you're going to find out there. You probably won't be disappointed because you won't know what you're missing. It is intercha

Here are some reasons why I think Runza is a great restaurant:1. The food is delicious and unique. Runza is known for its namesake sandwich, which is essentially a bread pocket filled with beef, onions, and cabbage. It's a tasty and filling meal that you can't find anywhere else.2. The prices are affordable. Runza is a fast-food restaurant, but the quality of the food is much higher than most other fast-food chains. Despite this, the prices are still very reasonable, so you can get a filling meal without breaking the bank.3. The service is fast and friendly. When you're hungry, you don't want to wait around for your food. Fortunately, Runza's service is very fast, so you can get your meal quickly and get on with your day. Plus, the staff is always friendly and welcoming, which makes the dining experience even better.4. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable. Runza restaurants are designed to be cozy and welcoming, with warm lighting and comfortable seating. It's a great place to grab a quick meal with friends or family.5. Runza is a Nebraska institution. Finally, Runza is a beloved Nebraska institution that has been serving up delicious food for generations. It's a part of the state's culture and history, and it's a restaurant that Nebraskans are proud to call their own.I hope this helps explain why Runza is such a great restaurant!

Food was excellent as always! However we were missing multiple items from our to go order. After handing food out in the car. We realized we were missing mulitiple items! Instead of believing me the kid at the counter insisted I go get all our food and bring it in to verify that we didnt get everything! I refused as my kids had already been given their food. After him insisting multiple times and refusing to get the missing Items. He said he will go get the manager! I told him why would I come back in to get missing items!We were eventually given the missing items. I have had items missing from plenty of restaurants and never ha e they told me to pretty much prove it! We were traveling and Not from here. Will not be going back to this location! A little irritating as we are big Runza fans!
Brice Kauffman
I hadn't been here in years because I'm not from an area with a Runza restaurant. So I don't know how this location compares to others. I do know that the Original Runza is delicious and I would recommend it. The milkshake was less than stellar even for a fast food restaurant. I would return to this location and eat the Runzas but am not sure about the milkshake even though I'm a pretty big fan of ice cream
You can't go wrong with a cheeseburger and fries from Runza!
