ICYMI — Mr. Wraps Has a Gluten-Free Option on Its Menu

There are plenty of allergy-friendly food options here in The Mile Square, and we just found out that local favorite Mr. Wraps is no exception. Prepare to rejoice, restricted eaters, because a gluten-free wrap is on the Mr. Wraps menu — and while this might not be news to some, it’s certainly worth celebrating. Read on for a run-down of this local gem + its GF option. 

The Gluten-Free Offerings

If you’ve passed Mr. Wraps in the past day or two, you’ve probably noticed signage advertising gluten-free wraps. This, of course, is breaking news, considering that for the past 19 years of its presence here in Hoboken, GF options have been virtually nonexistent at the local hotspot (or, we just might’ve been living under a rock, but that’s none of our business).

Mr. Wraps offers a GF substitute for wraps. There’s only one gluten-free wrap style available, which is sourced from Restaurant Depot, but it can be substituted for any wrap order on the menu. GF wraps are $2 extra — which we believe is a small price to pay for some high-value tastiness.

The History

Mr. Wraps has been at 741 Garden Street in Hoboken for 19 years (pretty awesome to see a local shop like this still doing great). The eatery was first born in Cranford in 2000 and eventually opened a second location in Hoboken in 2003. While the Cranford location still stands, the original owners sold it, and only own the Hoboken location now.

The Atmosphere

If you’re looking for casual (read: hungover, WFH day, don’t wanna get out of your jammies, etc.), Mr. Wraps is the place to be. There isn’t an insane amount of seating inside (seats 12), so if you want to dine in, maybe wait until the lunchtime rush is over — but other than that it’s not a crowded place since most people tend to pick-up or have their food delivered. It also has outdoor seating (also for 12) which is also convenient when the weather is nice.

If you are dining in, there are a few flat-screen TVs inside to keep you entertained, and the staff always has on some good stuff (usually sports or movies). Speaking of the staff, they are great, too. Always super friendly and accommodating, including the delivery guys. Author’s note: I’ve had some pretty crazy requests with switching out an ingredient in a wrap, adding things, etc. and they never judged or made it an issue — much appreciated 😉

The Menu

While Mr. Wraps name makes it pretty obvious what their specialty is, don’t be fooled. But if you are craving a wrap, definitely get one — they are huge, there are so many choices, and they are GOOD. Mr. Wraps can also satisfy any burger, sandwich, salad, or must-have junk food craving (like jalapeno poppers, mozzarella sticks, mac + cheese, and more). There is also an impressive selection of chips (limited edition chips, to) and a variety of drinks to go with your meal.

Mr. Wraps serves breakfast, too, and are whipping up classics like pancakes, french toast, home fries, breakfast sammies, and more. And yes, breakfast can be delivered, too — this comes in clutch on the weekends.

Check out some of our favorites menu items below:

A breakfast classic — Taylor ham (or pork roll if you prefer), egg, + cheese on a roll paired with scrumptious home fries

Chicken fajita wrap — substituted with a spinach wrap instead of regular 

Roast beef and turkey sandwich (super filling)

Waffle fries with mozzarella cheese and gravy — trust us, you need these

A big bowl of chili with all the fixins’

Mr. Wraps also sells ice cream and homemade milkshakes — yes, you heard that correctly. It’s the perfect way to end a meal there (if you have the room, of course). If not, stop by at any time for a cone, cup, or milkshake. There is a variety of flavors, both classic and unique, including this campfire s’mores icecream, pictured below — heaven in a bucket. 

Mr. Wraps has a total of 33 wraps on their menu, so at least one is bound to call your name. As mentioned, salads are also on the menu (including a Greek salad, cobb, steak, + taco to name a few), and classic guilty-pleasure apps (chicken quesadillas, mozzarella sticks, loaded potato skins, + more). Their burgers are also delish, and there is a variety of those, too.

Easy Pickup + Delivery

If you’d rather pick up your meal or have it delivered, Mr. Wraps makes it easy to do both. Their delivery, in our opinion, is one of the best in town as they are always on time, food is always hot, and the delivery staff is always so friendly. Mr. Wraps is also great with updating customers of any weather-related delayed openings, etc. If you’re a fan, definitely check out their Instagram, they are always active (and always posting drool-worthy pics of their food).

The Verdict

If you’re looking for some casual (but homemade and absolutely delicious) food — stop by Mr. Wraps or have it delivered and enjoy it on the couch. Not only is the food delicious and the ingredients fresh, but the staff is wonderful. In today’s time of one mom-and-pop shop closing after the other, it’s definitely important to support your local businesses and this is one to add to your list.
