That’s a Lot of Cabbage and Onions
Did you know there are 16 Runza locations in Lincoln? I had no idea there are that many. Who knew Ov’n St’f’d Sandwiches—or whatever excessively-punctuated name they’re calling runzas these days—were so popular?

They may have fallen out of favor with some people but I still love their food.
nom nom nom.
foxspit says I saw a new Runza August 6, 2008 at 9:53am
I saw a new Runza building going up in St. Paul, Neb., this weekend. Runza is pretty aggressive with it’s restaurant locations.
I like their food too, Gene.

When I moved here two years ago, everyone told me to try a Runza. Haven’t been back since. Must be an acquired taste.
I do hear that the burgers are decent, and they open Friday in the Union, so they may get another chance.

Where are they opening in the Union? Who are they replacing?

Runza is where Burger King was; Planet Sub replaced Subway.
(C’mon...Neal even had a cartoon in memory of Burger King when it closed.)

Thanks. That is good news!

I’ve never acquired it. I like the Italian Runza, but to me, it’s one of the most overrated Lincoln fascinations. The smell of a regular Runza makes me want to hurl. Back in the 80’s, when one could still smoke at Memorial Stadium, I would have preferred to sit next to a lit cigarette than someone eating a Runza. Ugh. Burgers - way overrated. Onion rings - good, but not the bee’s knees (like Mr. W. is). 16 seems to me like oversaturation. Hopefully, there will not soon be 16 Braedas, each sitting next door to a Runza.
