If you’ve ever fallen under the spell of a Crunchwrap Supreme, you know it’s a masterpiece of fast food engineering. Taco Bell’s blend of meat, melty cheese, crispy tostada, and tangy sauces all wrapped in a tortilla hits a certain kind of spot. But let’s be real — sometimes it’s a hit, and other times, well… not so much.

That’s where Crunchwerks, a hidden gem in Central Ohio, comes in to redefine the genre. They’re not just playing Taco Bell’s game — they’re winning it. Imagine a Crunchwrap, but bigger, better, and stuffed with fresh, flavorful ingredients that don’t make you question your life choices afterward.

What Makes Crunchwerks Special?

Crunchwerks specializes in what I like to call gourmet Crunchwraps. These aren’t your average drive-thru wraps — they’re handcrafted creations designed to satisfy cravings and make your taste buds dance.

Take the OG Crunch, for example. It’s everything you love about a Crunchwrap, but leveled up with seasoned beef, cheddar cheese, house-made white jalapeño queso, shredded romaine, sour cream, a crispy tostada, and fresh pico de gallo. It’s crispy, creamy, crunchy, and downright dreamy. And the best part? It’s consistently prepared with love, so you never have to deal with the “oops, no crunch” disappointment that’s way too common at Taco Bell.

Beyond the Crunchwrap

While the Crunchwraps are the star of the show, don’t sleep on the sides. Crunchwerks’ guacamole is the kind of smooth, flavorful perfection that makes you want to slather it on everything — or just eat it straight with a spoon (no judgment). It’s the ideal sidekick for your gourmet Crunchwrap adventure.

Why Most People Don’t Know About Crunchwerks (Yet)

Despite serving up some of the best Crunchwraps in the city, Crunchwerks is still under the radar for many locals. Tucked away inside The Summit Music Hall, Crunchwerks is quietly doing its thing as live bands rock it out on stage.

Unless you’ve been to The Summit for a show or seen Crunchwerks on DoorDash, there’s really no way you’d hear about it. But that’s good news for you — because now you get to be the one who introduces your friends to this game-changer.
