longboards wraps & bowls

holy napalm sauce!!!. went to longboards today 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 orangesaucewas 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 napalmsaucelived 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...

skip it. i'm always looking for new places to try when i go to kc. this was close to where i was staying so i thought i'd try it. unless you know you like this type of food, skip it. i got the thai chicken wrap. the chicken wasn't fresh. it looked like preformed meat that came out of a frozen pouch. the veggies were also clearly not fresh. they were definitely the broccoli, red pepper, water chestnut mix from the freezer section at price chopper. i also don't understand why there was cheese on it. on the plus side, the rice was cooked well and thesaucewas tasty.
my vegan cousin ordered the tofu bowl but we had to send it back when it came out with an egg on it. she didn't recall seeing on the menu that an egg was included in the bowl.
two people in my party go bowl/salads. not really sure where they were going with these. the salad was in the same dish as the noodles and it was all sitting in a puddle of liquid.
no one enjoyed their meal.

...hummus and veggies grilled flat wrap: my fav and go-to! featuring hummus, vegetables, olives, pico de gallo, rice and parmesansaucein a jalapeño wrap, this vegetarian delight is even dreamier than it sounds.
3 cheese “gangsta” mac wrap: not really my style, but the name of this special is so good i have to mention it. four cheese mac, spicy sausage, turkey and chicken… my brother would love this.

love me-the wrap shack. im og and have to stick up for some of the best food and classiest people i know. first if your the few people complaining i love reading your reviews the most because usually its your own stupidity that caused your bad experience! so here is the deal everything is fantastic, for roughly what you would pay for a fast food combo at hardees you get a fresh tasting unique and often very healthy meal. i love the sliders and also like the sushi wrap. gilbert is a wiz at sauces and has taught everyone well, so try some different things orsauceon the side can make a dish. love the grub bro,

so good the 1st time i went back the next day!. yesterday i had the pork luau: pork, pepper jack cheese, pineapple, broccoli, peas, peppers, white rice and teriyakisauceon a grilled to perfection honey wheat burrito style wrap. today i went back for the teriyaki grill: chicken (beef is another option), mozzarella, broccoli, peas, peppers, white rice and teriyakisauceon a honey wheat burrito style wrap. the teriyakisaucewas sweet and lightly peppered, not sugary. the honey wheat wrap was toasty, not the least bit doughy or chewy, and filled with tasty goodness from end to end. i'm a real light weight and pretty finicky when it comes to eating, but i happily polished off my wrap in no time and momentarily contemplated licking the wrapper it came in.

as for the staff, they're wonderful. everyone is friendly and happy to answer any questions you might have about the menu. i've only been there during lunch hour, but even at their busiest time everyone (including the customers) was super nice. obviously the wait is going to be a little longer than at a fast food chain, but the food, value and overall experience is worth it. the only drawback is deciding what to try.

by the way, besides grilled wraps they have "cool" deli style wraps, options for vegetarians, smaller wraps for kids, hot noodle bowls, salads, and some very good house made sides.

just a tip. i enjoyed the cabo beef. my dining companion had some sort of thai chicken wrap. i would advise asking for thesauceon the side or ask them to go light. all we could taste was the peanut sauce.
