    Runza... no it does not give you the runs. Seriously, if I had a nickel for every time someone asked me that question... Food: Before anyone inquires as to why I was in Lincoln, Nebraska, I'd like to ask why not Lincoln? Did you automatically dismiss the place as having terrible food? Did you know anything about the food here to begin with? Anyway, it was a learning experience for me. I came to visit my very dear friend who is here to complete her last year of education. They have a fast food chain called Runza which serves *drumroll* runzas. What is a runza? It's the Midwestern equivalent of a pirogi or an empanada filled with meat, and onions baked in a crust. I got the original Runza sandwich (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tVYj_vmZO916gzBAKUEbqQ?select=PKAgLMq-Sosn-Rc-8-omuw#I_RbRmjtruwiXwtx7JoDyw, open shot http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tVYj_vmZO916gzBAKUEbqQ?select=PKAgLMq-Sosn-Rc-8-omuw#cdYjKlFGvOiLQy5n6pLniw), a steaming hot meat pocket containing ground beef, melted cheese, minced onions, and pepper. I have to say that it wasn't half bad. In fact, it was actually really good. Plus, the idea of having a fast food chain that serves meat pies is downright appealing to me. Always the adventurous one, my boo tried the burger (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tVYj_vmZO916gzBAKUEbqQ?select=PKAgLMq-Sosn-Rc-8-omuw#JFHk_ycRVAcTKNrMgsidBA) and fries (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tVYj_vmZO916gzBAKUEbqQ?select=PKAgLMq-Sosn-Rc-8-omuw#m7oOU1JukReJDmRtoHWfvg). While the fries were crispy with just the right amount of salt, the burger was McDonald's bad. I might be biased since I live in a city that claims to have invented the cheeseburger, but this was truly an insult to burgers everywhere. Atmosphere: Runza is a fast food chain that you can only find in Nebraska. I appreciated their tables decorated with a road map of the state (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tVYj_vmZO916gzBAKUEbqQ?select=PKAgLMq-Sosn-Rc-8-omuw#PKAgLMq-Sosn-Rc-8-omuw). It actually gave us some good ideas for places to visit. Service: It's fast food, so I wasn't expecting much. Not enough interaction to judge. Synopsis: Definitely a new thing for me. It would be interesting if there were a Runza in Socal.

    Terrible service. Didn't receive an item on my order so I called them to ask about it. They told me I was wrong and hung up on me.

    I went 7/15 at about 1:50 pm and the drive through employee gave me the best service of my life. Great kid with maturity and charism.

They do require a credit card to hold the reservation, which was easy enough. The waitstaff was excellent--very attentive, pleasant, and helpful throughout the evening. We went with the tasting menu, which made dinner feel like more of an experience rather than just a meal. It was a fun way to enjoy several different dishes throughout the evening, and the food was excellent. The wine list was also sufficient with some very good options. Overall, a great experience and a really enjoyable date night downtown. We'll definitely be back!

I sat at the bar and had phenomenal service. I got the Aragon burger with a tallow fries, covered in bacon jam! I will have to say, this is one of the better burgers I've ever had in my life. It came out very hot, juicy, and cooked perfectly. The sauce is super yummy. But it's a grilled onions that really make it. The fries came out hot, crispy, and very tasty. This is a phenomenal restaurant with some very good food. Unless you're lucky you get a seat at the bar, I'm sure reservations are required.

The one thing that wasn't great is the men's bathroom doesn't have a changing station (or at least it's not marked) so my husband couldn't change our babies diaper I had to since it was in the women's restroom. Lots of parking in the shared business lot.

Brought water and menus and a short time later took our order. It was right about here our waitress dwindled. Not sure if to many tables, to far apart or what the issue was but it became obvious. I initially had a diet Pepsi, and then switching to a pomegranate lemonade. It was delicious. At one point everyone was out of drink and had been for awhile and no food had arrived so one of my family went looking for help. We saw other servers often. Just not ours. Drinks and food came. First mine and my wife's. Then later the other 2 in our party. First thing I noticed was my burger looked old. I felt the edge and it was cool. Ripped off the bun and so was the center. Now I hate hate sending food back. But I cut my burger and it was not only cold but rock hard. I had no choice. I couldn't eat that. They remade it and brought me a new burger and fries. It was plane but quite good. Normally piedmont is spot on. Just not today.
