Runza Drive Inn of America

The food is just ok. I do think this is a Nebraska thing.A Runza is basically a hot pocket filled with ground beef, onions and cabbage. The service is quick. Not sure I would go back. By the time I ate mine, it was soggy. And I am not a fan of soggy bread. So I wasn't very impressed with it at all. Again I think it's a regional food that is loved by the locals.

Probably the best fast food in Seward hands down. Amazing service awesome food that is always right

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 interchangeable with any other fast food option you might be considering.

Decided to have a Swiss cheese and mushroom burger for lunch. The flavor was delicious and cooked perfect. The onion rings were hot and tasty

Runza is probably one of my favorite fast food restaurants. Clean in side the restaurant and the staff is awfully friendly. Best french fries and really good burgers.. I always will drive a little further for my Runza fix. Thanks Seward it was a good visit!

Came here after my niece's taekwondo class for some ice cream. The drive thru line moved very quickly. We got $1 ice cream cones. They take cards and cash. In and out in a flash!

Super sad to write a bad review about a Nebraska staple BUT for the past 8 months I have noticed how much they have decreased the amount of meat inside. I really want to have a runza that has meat with some cabbage in it - not a runza that has cabbage with a tablespoon of meat. I thought this was a fluke for a few visits and now I'm convinced they have slumped in a big way! Super disappointed!

I preordered a dozen frozen Runzas to take back to Texas because the Lone Star state isn't fortunate enough to have such a wonderful establishment. The gentleman who took my order was helpful and knowledgeable, let me know of the discount for buying a dozen. When I arrived, the staff on hand were aware of my order, very friendly, and got me on my way quickly. Thanks so much, and they were delicious fresh out of the oven!

great cheeseburger and fries. Pleasant help and service. I ordered inside and it was taken quickly and it was just the way I ordered it.
