Bentley Bowl FOOD TRUCK

This establishment offers a very welcoming and pristine environment. I was particularly touched by the narrative shared by the mother of the two young men operating this business, who greeted me while preparing the morning's offerings. Their journey is truly inspiring, and I commend their achievements. Regarding the culinary experience, the food was presented promptly, fresh, and hot. A notable aspect was the balanced seasoning, which did not lead to an elevated blood pressure response post-consumption. The option to customize seasoning and dipping sauces was a thoughtful touch, demonstrating an understanding of individual preferences rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. I sampled the vegan chicken, which, while an acquired taste, was not unpalatable. The cornbread was exceptional, featuring a perfectly crispy exterior and a moist, flavorful interior. The yams were prepared with a subtle sweetness, allowing the natural flavor of the yam to be appreciated. The macaroni and cheese was satisfactory, and the greens, while flavorful, could benefit from a slightly more tender preparation to align with my personal preference. The overall flavor profile was well-balanced and notably not overly salty, which I consider a significant advantage. I opted for the beginner bowl and found it to be a substantial portion, leaving me completely satisfied and unable to finish the entire meal. Additionally, I appreciate the inclusion of Psalms 23:6 alongside each bowl, which adds a unique and thoughtful element to the dining experience. I plan to share this experience with my associates. I am delighted to have had the opportunity to visit this establishment for the first time. Notably, they provide a miniature fork within their branded packaging, accompanied by a napkin, which I found to be a charming detail. My service was rendered within the restaurant premises, as opposed to the mobile unit. The mobile unit was not operational today..

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bentley Bowls – Authentic Southern Soul in Bakersfield! Born in Birmingham, Alabama and raised in a true Southern family, I’d like to think I know a little something about soul food cooking. And t in Bakersfield, let me tell you—none of them come close to capturing that real, heartfelt, down-south, slow-cooked, made-with-love flavor like Bentley Bowls does. Every bite reminds me of home—comforting, flavorful, and soulful. This place knocked the cover off the ball. Amazing, amazing, amazing. If you’re craving authentic Southern cooking done right, Bentley Bowls is the real deal.

My family catered from Bentley Bowl for the Celebration of Life/ repass for my family members funeral. Absolutely outstanding. 100/10! Literally every single person commented on how wonderful the food was and we could tell it was made with love. I am really appreciative of how responsive, communicative, professional, and amazing the staff was. The food arrived fresh, hot, beautiful, ready to eat AND delicious! My family is hard to please when it comes to soul food and everyone had something great to say and asked where did we get the food from! That was proof we catered from the right business. I pray these young men expand one day and Bentley Bowl becomes a powerhouse in the restaurant industry. Thank you so much for serving my family and our community in Bakersfield and adding joy to a very difficult time. God bless you.

The food was homemade with love and deliciousness! The staff were friendly and made the suggestion to try the strawberry cornbread. Amazing! We tried their classic Mac Bowl which was mac & cheese and their bite-size fried chicken. My favorite sauce with it was the barbecue! Sweet and tangy. The cornbread was fresh crunchy on the outside and soft and moist on the inside. I got one of the original and one strawberry cornbread. Both were delicious, but the strawberry is divine (tastes like funnel cake) we also had their homemade Sweet Tea and Lemonade -chefs kiss We'll definitely be back!

Who is craving that real taste of soul food in Bakersfield? If so you’re in luck. This place is just what you are looking for. We can start with the food 15/10!!! AMAZING quality! Unbeatable flavor! How can it be the perfect amount of spice, salty, and sweet?? THEY GOT IT DOWN. I’m licking my bowl clean. The cornbread was the best I have ever had in my LIFE same goes for the collard greens. Not sure what they do with the seasonings but JOB WELL DONE!! The service was the cherry on top, everyone had warm smiles and inviting attitudes. It was fast, yummy and intentional.
