longboards wraps & bowls

number oneplaceto get great tasting healthy food! our favoriteplaceto go in gladstone/kc.

great food. i wish longboards had 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 theplaceis cramped and popular - it might take a while to get your food. if you have time to wait, though, it's totally worth it.

just been there twice and haven't sampled much of the menu, but the cabo beef wrap is excellent. theplacehas a very nice atmosphere for such a small operation. if you are going in a big group around peak hours however, be prepared to have a hard time finding aplaceto sit.

amazing and addictive! there is nothing that i've tried that wasn't delicious. it's a greatplaceto stop by for lunch and has a great atmosphere.

gladstone location....epic fail!!!. 20 minutes of waiting on a to-go order of 2 wraps. the ingredients listed on the menu weren't even in the wraps. the outside of the wrap was burnt, not toasted. if people were to want to sit and eat, there is noplacefor them to do so, since everyone sitting in the restaurant was waiting on to-go orders.

i spent $25 on lunch today and learned a valuable lesson: "if a business wants business, it needs to be in the business of bringing business in, not sending business to other businesses."

soooo gooood. thisplacerocks! i really wish it was a tad closer, i would be there everyday! the chicken cabo wrap is awesome, and of course i get 3 alarm and it burns my mouth it a good way! the staff is excellent, always say hello and thank you. very friendly, smallplacethat gets packed! it's kind of a kc secret so don't tell too many people :)

menu has potential. we may change our opinions, but our first impression of thisplacewasn't good. the sauces had odd flavors and the texture of the meat was off. we will choose something a little less "interesting" next time.

good food, good price, limited seating. i went with a monthly dinner club to longboards. we all agreed that the food was very good and the prices were also inexpensive. theplacewas busy with a lot of carryout. the only downside was that there really isn't a lot of seating. our group had 9 in it and we had to wait for the one other large party to leave before we could get a seat. we pushed three tables together in the front window. next time i go i'll take fewer people or get carryout. food was prompt, hot and very good. i can't compare it to "authentic" hawaiian food because i've never had it specifically but i would go back for this. it is totally in a non-descript strip mall. don't blink, you'll miss it.

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 thisplaceto 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 like longboards and 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 to longboards ever. i'm not saying that their food is bad. i'm saying longboards should 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.

love it!. love this place, so simple yet so amazing and different than anything else. also, they are opening up aplacein liberty within the next month!!! score!!!!!

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

amazing. bestplaceto get a wrap in kc hands down.

no hype.. previous reviewers are not exaggerating. thisplaceis amazing. not being a huge fan of wraps for so many reasons--primarily that they tend to be soggy wads of mess a few bites in and require a fork to eat--i was slightly apprehensive but we had dinner there last night and if hubby suggests we go back tonight i'll be there. food was fresh, saucing was perfect and hawaiian shaved ice was heavenly on the 98 degree day. and let's discuss the service/employees...a dream. friendly and helpful. they come out to greet you and take your order, answer questions and patiently await your decision. i've never been to such a packed restaurant where the vibe is so calm; everyone's working or waiting purposefully but with a zen like calm. love it.

oh my goodness!!!! thisplaceis epic! the staff is super friendly, very helpful. we said we had never been there, and the guy explained the entire menu, with favorite and the vegan options. and the product, well, there are just no words! it's amazing!

worth the drive. it's too bad that there is only one location, because thisplacerocks. although, a total hole in the wall, and in the middle of nowhere ... it is so good! try it out. you won't be disappointed!
