Runza Review – Cheese Heaven in a Bun 🧀

So let’s talk about Runza—specifically their glorious cheese Runzas. I don’t know what kind of magic they’re putting in those things, but it’s like warm, cheesy comfort wrapped in perfectly baked bread. Every bite was melty, savory, and made me feel like everything in life was going to be okay.

Now, let’s talk Frings—fries and onion rings together? Genius. I don’t know who thought of it, but I hope they got a raise. The fries were crispy, the onion rings golden, and together they made the perfect crunchy companion to the cheese Runza.

I liked it so much I tried to recreate it at home. Let’s just say… my version was okay, but it didn’t quite hit that same "Runza magic." Mine was more like a “Ruh-oh.” Still edible, but clearly I’m not in the franchise game for a reason.

A big win for them is how fresh everything is. The vegetables on your burger. The meat and the sides are always hot and fresh. In short I've been all over the US and can honestly say Nebraska and runza should be proud of what the offer. Best ranch and onion rings I've ever had...
