longboards wraps & bowls

holy napalm sauce!!!. went tolongboardstoday after reading reviews and talking about it for about a week. my friend and i split the orange chicken wrap, the five alarm beef panini wrap and the garlic potato salad. first of all the potato salad is seriously good; clearly not store-bought. the orange chicken wrap tasted like cold orange chicken, that sounds like a complaint, but it's not! the wrap had sugar snap peas, broccoli florets, big pieces of chicken and the orange sauce was delicious, sweet with a strong orange flavor. all the flavors in the wrap came through clearly. perfect summer food! now for the five alarm beef: i have trouble finding food spicy enough for me and the napalm sauce lived up to its name. my friend couldn't eat her half; it was too spicy and i was very happy to relieve her of it. the menu is enormous and i would like to say i'm going to try more things from it, but i'm probably going to be stuck on the five alarm beef for awhile. i wish they would open one on 39th street where i live...

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,longboardswould be just about perfect.

great food. i wishlongboardshad a location somewhere south of downtown. this is one of my favorite restaurants in town, mostly because i don't know where else to get food like this. i have only tried a few of their wraps, but i don't feel like i need to try everything. the wow! kung pao wrap is incredible, and it's actually spicy (i normally don't have much luck with restaurants calling their menu items spicy).

i'd avoid going here at noon, because the place is cramped and popular - it might take a while to get your food. if you have time to wait, though, it's totally worth it.

i know i'm in the minority on this one, but i've been tolongboards5 times now and i still haven't had anything i really love. of these kind of places, i prefer pita pit.

awesome wraps except for one thing. i love longboards' wraps. the cabo beef/chicken are my favorite, as is the case for many other customers. other than the long wait times, the main complaint that i have aboutlongboardsis the fact that their wraps often come with deep "charred marks" (see pictures) which, other than not tasting very good, are also unhealthy due to the acrylamides that are produced during the grilling process. i wish they would stop grilling them so long and i bet that they would still taste just as great!

the food is great!. i used to frequentlongboardswhen i worked up north. their food is delicious and very affordable. normally one burrito would make two meals for me. my favorite was the bootcamp burrito with a side of teriyaki sauce. it had brown rice, egg whites, turkey, black olives and lettuce. i live in lee's summit now but on occasion my husband and i trek up there to eat. we would love for you to open one in lee's summit!!

best food in the northland. the food is consistently amazing, regardless of what i order. cabo beef is my fallback because it's one of the my favorite foods in the world.longboardsis one of the things i miss most when i'm away at school. it's simply a well-run restaurant that is really good at what they do. i couldn't recommend it enough.

one of my absolute favs!!!. i have been here on several occasions where lines have formed out the door with people who have traveled from all areas of the city to enjoy the special flavors thatlongboardsoffers. their staff is amazing at handling the amount of traffic they receive. they are specifically good at explaining and recommending items on the menu, being friendly, curteous, and above all - grateful! now for the food - wow! their spring rolls are my absolute favorite of any that i have ever had. the 5 alarm wrap rocks & is sure to warm you on even the coldest days. i have a bottomless stomach, but this thing was so filling that i couldn't get through even a third of it which meant yummy leftovers for two more meals! i've also had the cabo beef which was amazing! the avacado in this wrap complimented the other flavors perfectly! we've tried many more items, but these were our favorites!

smh hawaiian?. my fiance and i have a soft spot for authentic home style food. the kind your grandma makes. i grew up listening to my friends begging their mothers for meatloaf nodding my head in empathy with a mouth full of grandmas fresh food. my fiance, who is from the birth of the mix plate, hawaii, spent several years in china feasting on a buffet of goodness. needless to say we don't just go out to eat, we hunt for our food, prey if you must.

i'm not sure where to start. deep sigh i'm going to go with the bad first. simply because i would be embarrassed to recommend this place to any other hawaiians or those who want real hawaiian food.

bad: describes themselves as a hawaiian restaurant. last i checked the category usually describes the type of food. slapping some surfboards on the walls and throwing in some siracha does not make the food hawaiian. it would have made me feel a bit better if an auntie was on the grill at least. no poke, no spam, no lau lau, no taro, no poi, no loco moko, no hawaiians. on which hawaiian island do they serve a menu likelongboardsand call it hawaiian food? just throwing it out there. it is a valid question.

needless to say i won't be taking my hawaiian, samoan, tongan in-laws tolongboardsever. i'm not saying that their food is bad. i'm sayinglongboardsshould be ashamed at calling their food hawaiian.

good: decorum was cheesy but uniquely entertaining. it actually sets up false expectation for a real hawaiian menu. the hostess girl did an excellent job describing what the menu was when she saw our confused faces staring at the menu.

at the risk of sounding like a fat a**.longboardsis actually amazing. its my favorite lunch place ever. in fact, when i moved from kansas city, my boyfriend actually overnighted me alongboardswrap to nyc---thats how much i love it. you must go. peace, love, and longboards

longboards isn't going to win any awards for fanciest or most romantic restaurant. but that's quite alright because there food is great and is a perfect lunch spot if you're north of the river. if you can't make it to hawaii soon, trek on up to gladstone and trylongboardsinstead. if you close your eyes and have a good imagination, it's a pretty close second.

when i look at alongboardswrap i see a little wrapped up piece of heaven. i have had very few wraps that u don't like, but i would recommend cabo beef, hot turkey, or parmesan turkey for first timers. never get the same wrap twice in a row!

much love fromlongboardskrew. 6 yrs and still standing. thanks from the bottom of my heart . my friends... now hang loose and eat@longboards

just had a thai chicken wrap atlongboardsfor lunch, and it was delicious! the pasta salad was great, too. they used a thai sweet chili base that was surprising and yummy. i work in the northland a few days a week and am excited to have found longboards. i will be back soon!
