yummy yummy!. a beloved restaurant with two locations in the kansas city area. the distinctive eating location is full of flavor not only in its food, but also in the décor. stepping into the restaurant, you’re immediately thrown onto the beach. all landlocked customers of kansas city can appreciate the surfboards, lei’s and island adornments lining the walls.
as delightful as the decorations are, the food is the hot topic. hot noodle bowls, cool style wraps, hawaiian sliders, flat breads and grilled wraps with warm sear marks keep customers coming back. the sides are scrumptious as well and include, potato salads, rice and their very reputably crispy maui onion chips.
some of the top meals are the cabo chicken wrap, with guacamole, pepperjack, pico de gallo and chipotle chicken grilled to perfection. another favorite is the spicy krab wrap, which includes peanuts, pepperjack, rice, sriracha, and spicy chinese sauce. children’s meals are also available.
the speed of service is great as well. you walk up to the register, order, pay, then sit and wait about five minutes and your food is ready to dive into. each wrap is wrapped in foil to hold in the fresh heat. the drinks are all self-serve.
longboards prices are fairly low as well. they range from $5.75 to about $11. with low prices and great food, there really isn’t a reason to not get a taste of the islands. the only difference is the restaurant is pretty chilly inside. if the air-conditioner was turned down, longboards would be just about perfect.
