    Chili and cinnamon roll
    Nate B.

    Great regional fast food spot. Their Runza sandwich is very good and unique. Kind of an enclosed burger that tastes similar to White Castle, but in a different shape. Their burgers are even better than their signature sandwich in my opinion. Their chili and cinnamon rolls are a great combo (don't be afraid- try this odd regional combo!) Service is friendly and the restaurants and clean and well cared for

    I never had a runza, but wanted to give it a try. Ordered one with mushrooms and Swiss cheese. Learned it will be out in about 7-10 minutes, no problem....I love piping hot food! As with anything new....give it a try...was worth it! Guys were nice to offer a soda since I had to wait...very nice service...thank you!

    They said I had to try the state food of Runza, so here I am! 06/22/2022

    I wasn't impressed with this staple food of Nebraska. The Runza reminds me of a hot pocket. It had hamburger beef, onions, cabbage, and cheese in it as the filling. I gave it 2 stars only because the food was hot when it was delivered and the onion rings were very delicious. The sandwich or hot pocket definitely did not look like the pictures that was advertised. Not a fan, but glad I gave it a try. They also had Dr. Pepper as a drink choice and that has been really hard to find here. I've seen more Pepsi products than anything. See the picture I took and look at how it is pictured in their advertising. Very misleading. It also sent me to the bathroom immediately. TMI but that's what you want, right?!?

    I couldn't imagine a more beautiful thing.

    Fries are crispy and delightful (I recommend them dipped in Runza's own ranch dressing).

I ordered the Hummus Stacked Bowl with Lamb. As soon as you're seated, you're served warm pita bread to start. Each table has olive oil, salt, and pepper available for dipping, which made for a simple but delicious beginning to the meal. The pita was warm, fluffy, and had outstanding texture and flavor. Despite the restaurant being busy during its first few hours of opening, the food arrived surprisingly quickly. The presentation alone was enough to make me hungry, but the aroma of the lamb had me ready to dig in immediately. The hummus, which serves as the foundation of the dish, was silky smooth and velvety when paired with the olive oil. The grilled squash and onions added a wonderful contrast of textures, blending perfectly with the warm ingredients while still maintaining a satisfying bite. Their seasoning was spot on. Bright red cherry tomatoes brought a fresh, vibrant element that tied everything together beautifully. The bowl also came with additional pita and seasoned pita chips, adding even more variety to the meal. Overall, Meddys absolutely exceeded my expectations. For a restaurant that had only been open a few hours, the food, service, and execution were impressive across the board. I was blown away and can't wait to return and work my way through the rest of their beautiful menu.

I love being able to customize with veggies instead of carbs on carbs on carbs. I got the Huli Huli chicken with macaroni salad and seasoned veggies. I would get this over and over again! The portions were so big, I was able to have dinner and for lunch the next day! I loved the macaroni salad, it was a pleasant surprise that it's warm since I don't like cold macaroni salad. The veggies had a great seasoning on them and were steamed perfectly. The chicken was so good! Lots of real chicken pieces in a sweet-savory sauce over rice. I died a little inside seeing the classic plate have meat on top of rice with a side of rice and a side of macaroni but thankfully I didn't have to get it that way! Almost forgot we tried the Spam musubi too and OMG I'll be back for that! Warm, seasoned sticky rice with a big chunk of grilled Spam wrapped in seaweed. Ugh, so good.

It's a little spicy without being unpleasant. The Kilauea was a bit too spicy for me, and I couldn't really taste any flavor beyond the spice. Sometimes the chicken is hot and fresh, sometimes it's luke warm. A few times we've got small bones in the chicken which is a bit of a turn off when you're not expecting it. The kids like the dole whip. A little taste of Disney right in our own backyard. Overall, fun to try. If we end up back in the area playing the 'what do you want to eat' game, this would be a top contender.

It's hard to say what the must-tries are here because it is all so good. You might start with the chicken sandwich, or a salad with chicken tenders. Or if it is brunch the ricotta pancakes are killer. Another option is to stroll through the restaurant and just kinda look at what people are eating and see what strikes you. One thing we order each time: the blue corn hushpuppies :) Check their socials for specials and just in case they have modified hours due to selling out or a private event.

We decided to try again on Thursday this week and found that it was actually open and not super packed with customers, which had not been the case our previous attempts. Went inside to order and the staff was super friendly, as they handed us the menus. The ambiance was a lot like a diner, with bench seating tables and high chairs, did not see any booths, but it's was clean, bright and open. My wife ordered the pancakes and chicken, I had the debo sandwich with potato salad and the slaw. From the comments I was hearing from my wife, the pancakes were amazing, with fruit inside them and a light syrup, the chicken was crisp and juicy, much to her liking. My sandwich was outstanding, it was huge and flavorful, the chicken was also very crunchy and the homemade pickles complemented it well. The sandwich also had a sweetness from the honey vinegar cayanne sauce with just a bit of heat too. The potato salad was delightful, now sweet but really good flavor and had hard boiled eggs in it, you don't get that very often any more, and the slaw was a bit sweet and tart with the pickled onions and pickled jalapeños, and some added crunch from sunflower seeds. It was a bit pricy, but the food was fantastic... Worth the price and worth the wait. Monster portions, we took the left overs home and get to enjoy it again tonight.
