Students who are looking for food not heavily processed and bathed in fat will surely find refuge at Crazy Bowls and Wraps.Priding themselves on their healthy food choices, they offer good food fast at a reasonable price.
Walking in, CBW’s bright green and orange paint job invokes a feeling of freshness not found in a Taco Bell or Wendy’s. Considering fresh and healthy food is exactly what is on the menu, the interior does quite nicely. Seating is made up of standard tables and chairs with a few tables set up outside on nice days.
Hungry patrons place their order at the front counter and can order it to go or they can eat in. CBW’s menu boasts a variety of healthy options. Customers start out by picking a grain such as rice or noodles. Then they can choose what kind of meat they want.
CBW offers white and dark meat chicken, crunchy chicken, flank steak and wild Alaskan salmon, as far as sources of protein. After that customers can pick from a plethora of other toppings like veggies, sauces or even more meat. What is more, a flavor bar is located near the soda fountain so diners can add even more to their bowl or wrap. Although having soda in a restaurant that aims to provide healthy food seems a bit out of place.
CBW’s claim to freshness is rightfully justified. The meal in question was their teriyaki beef super bowl with white rice and veggies.It was delicous and all the vegetables were fresh, although a bit crunchy but that is only a minor complaint. The flank steak was tender and juicy, just as a steak should be.
Other than bowls and wraps, CBW offers quesadillas in their “starters” section, smoothies and kids’ meals.
Crazy Bowls and Wraps offers fresh and tasty food with a semi-Asian flair in their rice bowls. Prices are good for the quality of the products and there are many combinations one can put together when ordering.
They have locations in Missouri, Illinois and California. Hours can be found on their website and they even offer catering services.
