Runza Restaurant — Restaurant in La Vista

Before I had to go gluten free I likely would have given Runza, a Nebraska born restaurant, a 5 star rating. However, since going gluten free it is not a restaurant I can eat at and enjoy the food the way I used to. My family enjoys their burgers, which are made with high quality beef (I think from Nebraska). We aren't big on Runzas - beef and cabbage wrapped in a closed bun. However, the burgers are delicious. I also loved their fries. I found out they are drenched in flour before being fried in a fryer used for their breaded chicken strips, as well. So, the french fries, all crunchy and delicious, are off my list. A Nebraska favorite is chili and cinnamon rolls. I thought it was an odd combination, but once tried, it was weirdly delicious to eat them together. The chili is gluten free, but not the cinnamon rolls, so those are also off my eating list. If you are visiting or new to Nebraska, Runza would definitely be a place you would...

After reading some of the other reviews, I was hesitant to come. As a first time customer as I'm traveling through the area, my experience was as follows:

Cleanliness 4.9 - (1 table not clean out of 20). No big deal - want to be 100% honest. Bathroom was very clean and stocked.

Friendliness 5.0 - The lady taking my order was super friendly and helpful for a first timer. Couldn't find her name on my receipt.

Food 4.9 - I ordered the #6 (double cheeseburger, frings, and a beverage). Another post mentioned the fries being great, I concur! Top 7 in my opinion. However, dont skip the onion rings as they were excellent (and extremely hot - caution).

My experience was pleasant, satisfying, and I would gladly come back again next time I'm driving...

This place is a family favorite drive thru. They have something for everyone and the food comes out fresh. The fries, onion rings and frings (50/50 fries and onion rings) are hot, crispy and perfectly salty. The popcorn chicken is tender and not overly breaded. The burgers are juicy and filling. They also have a soft serve ice cream machine that ISN'T constantly broken. Oh and their ranch is house made so it's delicious also. Highly recommend if you're passing through Nebraska as they're not available anywhere else. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because their dining room is bland and most locations don't have anything for kids to do while dining in. It's not bad, it's at least clean, but it's not a fun place to...
