cyinne pretty much summed it all up for you. There are a number of good options, with very few of them being affected by Arena/Canopy Street construction. Here's my two cents:

The Best: Lazlo's, Bread & Cup, Ivanna Cone, Vincenzo's, Misty's
Pretty good: Dozo, El Potrero, The Oven
Too expensive for your own good: JTK, Dish
Overrated: Brix & Stone
Other: Old Chicago, Applebee's, Noodles & Company, Five Guys, BWW, Chipotle...

For the record, Runza's food is pretty good...the Runza's themselves are not much to be desired. Too much bread and they fall apart too easy. When I tell people Runza (restaurant) is good but the Runza (food item) is not, I get nothing but the old fashioned "...well, you're originally from Iowa so you wouldn't understand" line.

For non-chain restaurants, I'd suggest Lazlo's for american food, Blue Orchid for Thai and Asian, Bison Witches for deli sandwiches, Vincenzo's for Italian, The Oven for Indian, Capital City Grill for decent priced higher end food, and Ivanna Cone for ice cream. All are around the Haymarket area except Bison Witches. They have a 5 Guys near Bison Witches, but that's a chain restaurant (although not in Iowa).

Technically, BisonWitches IS a chain - there's one in Tempe I've been to, and also apparently in Tuscon and Norman OK. But it's still badass. BisonWitches.com - Home of Bison Witches Bar & Deli - Main Page

It appears there's also a Pepperjax Grill in downtown Lincoln at 14th and O. Very good Philly cheesesteaks and burritos. It's a place in the vein of Pancheros, where you see them make the sandwich/burrito in front of you, cooking, chopping, and seasoning the meat just for your sandwich.

I went here when I went for a work trip one time: Lazlo's Brewery and Grill

It was pretty solid. Way better than that crap-hole Runza.

This place was my recommendation. nice work

Frankly, I'm disturbed by the apparently in-depth knowledge of Lincoln, NE by posters on this site.

I have to admit, I never went back to try anything else after I had a Runza and hated it. So blah tasting, but all of the NE natives acted like it was the holy grail of food.

When we took the kiddos to the Omaha Zoo last year, we drove to Lincoln just so we could eat at DaVincis.

Hi, my name is SaraV, and I lived in Nebraska for 13.5 years, 3 of those in Lincoln.

Lincoln...if you overlook the whole university thing...is really a nice town. My two gripes were 1) They suck at plowing the roads after significant snow fall, and 2) It's difficult to get north/south in that city.

Go get a sandwich at Doozy's (14th and P) over lunch, I swear they must bake their bread with crack...

Both chains but both good; Grisantis and Valentinos
