Tasty Goodness All "Wrapped" Up - Our Delicious Wobbly Wraps

Sometimes you're in the mood for a big, hearty meal, while other times a sandwich is the perfect thing to hit the spot. Where do wraps fit in? Well, the wraps at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse take the savory, hickory-smoked meats you'll find on our dinner plates and roll them up in sandwich-like form inside a tasty tortilla. You get the big flavor of the best BBQ in Des Moines in a convenient, hand-held version.

Wraps really haven't been around all that long, at least commercially. They started showing up sometime in the 80's and continued to gain popularity through the 90's. One origin story tells the tale of the California chain "I Love Juicy" inventing this new "sandwich" to resemble a Tex-Mex burrito. Of course, as with most origin stories when it comes to food, there's rarely just one. In the mid-90's, Connecticut's "Bobby Valentine Sports Gallery Cafe" claimed to invent the wrap when one of their waitresses served it because they had run out of bread.

Full of Flavor and Goodness
Regardless of where it originated, Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in Clive has most definitely perfected this delicious dish. We start out with the most savory meats and then add fresh and flavorful ingredients, including lettuce, tomato, and a variety of cheeses. Lastly, all of those incredible flavors are wrapped up inside either a wheat tortilla, which is known to be high in fiber, B vitamins, and a multitude of minerals, or a tomato-basil tortilla, which adds a touch more deliciousness to the mix.

Our Wobbly Wraps are enough to satisfy your hunger on their own, but they look so lonely on the plate by themselves that we can't resist serving them along with your choice of one of our homestyle side dishes. As for the wraps, your choices include:

Turkey Bacon Ranch
The original Wobbly Boots' wrap! Lightly grilled turkey breast served in a warm tomato basil tortilla, stuffed full of bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar-jack cheese & ranch dressing.

The Wrangler
A wheat tortilla stuffed with three of our signature items: pulled pork, legendary baked beans & creamy coleslaw. We then place it on our grill and toast the tortilla, blending all three flavors, which makes one incredible WRAP!

Grilled Shrimp
Grilled jumbo shrimp with bacon, lettuce, tomato & cheddar-jack cheese all wrapped up in a warm tomato basil tortilla.

Turkey Avocado
Hickory smoked 100% breast of turkey served in a warm tomato basil tortilla with avocado, avocado mayo, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheddar-jack cheese.

Honey Mustard Chicken
Our charbroiled chicken breast cooked perfectly with bacon, lettuce, tomatoes , mozzarella-provel cheese & our house-made honey mustard dressing, served in a warm wheat tortilla. Delicious!

Buffalo Chicken Strip
Our homemade chicken strips fried to golden perfection and tossed in our homemade buffalo sauce, with lettuce, tomato, cheddar-jack cheese and ranch dressing, served in a warm wheat tortilla.

Is A Wrap A Sandwich?

Sometimes chefs like to change things up a little, taking a classic dish and switching one small thing to make it new and different. The creative cooks in the best BBQ restaurant in Des Moines do this with the amazing rubs and spices we season our meats with, and the incredible ingredients we use to make up that amazing house-made BBQ sauce we're so proud of. The tiny details at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in Clive make our food unique and unforgettable.

It isn't always a chef, though. Every once in a while dish is born out of necessity rather than experimentation. In these cases, an ingredient was not available, so a person had to think quickly and use what was on hand. One great example is the evolution of the sandwich into a wrap. Wraps seem like a sandwich, but technically they aren't.

Who invented the wrap?

The sandwich, which is made up of food served between two slices of bread, was made popular by John Montagu, the Earl of Sandwich. Wraps gained popularity in the United States in the 1990's. Rather than two slices of bread, instead ingredients are served on one piece of flatbread, generally a tortilla, and rolled up.

Wraps may have been invented in California by the "I Love Juicy" chain in the early 1980's to resemble a Tex-Mex burrito. The OVO Bistro in New York City introduced its wrap, "The King Edward," in 1990.

Later, in the mid-1990's, the Bobby Valentine Sports Gallery Cafe in Stamford, Connecticut declared that they invented the wrap. As the story goes, a waitress at the restaurant served a "wrap" to the customer because they had run out of bread. When asked about the other stories of who invented the wrap, Valentine was quoted as saying, "Well, that's legend and folklore, but until somebody disputes me or comes up with a better story, I'll say I invented the wrap."
