This is a “dont judge a place by the outside” kind of place. Trust me, we did and glad we went in. A nice solid meal! Everything is Gluten Free and that is amazing for my wife. The guy working there was great! Super helpful and nice customer service. Very simple rice/fry dishes- fries doubled fried and crispy. Moist meats and great flavor. The chees/gravy fries are a meal on their own and were very tasty! Nothing fancy inside. Although cute decorated for Halloween and Back to the Future playing on the large screen on the wall (which we all loved). Gave a five star due to service and food. The breakdown “food, service, and atmosphere” – food did get a four star… Only because and truly it could of been just me being really thristy- was that the meal was a little salty. Give this place a try. It sites between a Barber and a old Slot car place and does look a little out of place… Although worth the stop and review for an all gluten free place!!

Went on a Sunday afternoon for lunch and ordered there to go. Friendly and fast service. There’s plenty of parking and plenty of seating. I got the Rohnert Pork which was delicious. My husband got the super nachos, which he says are sharing size lol I got my daughter the fried rice and added chicken. Delicious lunch

We came here before closing and you’d think 4.5 stars is in&out quality. I don’t know about mid day but before closing it’s worse than KFC. Very simple ingredients and a great idea since most of it can be kept warm or cold like Chipotle. But the mash potatoes seemed to be made before opening and kept warm all day. The potential is there for them to be great but the execution was going the way of blockbusters.
The staff. Great staff and great customer service. But i don’t like playing that game of “sour spoiled or sour from them using the same spoon as my daughter’s Mediterranean bowl on my pot roast?” Since the ingredients weren’t the remotely fresh, we’ll err on the side of caution and throw it away. It’s a shame. We had high hopes.
My recommendation as a traveling foodie pass if you’re hungry or try with caution if you’re curious. The Mediterranean bowl seemed good and fresh. But anything beef or pork with mashed potatoes all seemed dry and old. I have been to parties late and had things on a chafing dish for 4hrs that were more fresh than their mashed potatoes and gravy and beef and pork.

Food and service was great! Set me up with a dish that was on the menu but had ingredients im allergic to, so they made it fresh minus my allergy ingredients.. Will be back!

Really fast service, perfect for my lunch break. There was enough for two people to share. My only complaint is the cheese sauce on my Rohnert Pork was a bit texturally challenged which probably means it’s not as processed as normal cheese sauce, so I’m really not that upset about it. Overall quality for the price is nice and I would say this is a perfect spot when you get the munchies

I first stopped by several years ago, around 2018. Let me tell you, the way this restaurant looks now compared to them is night and day. They did a complete refresh, they have a great raised logo, fresh paint, giant TV screen, the vibe is great.
I enjoyed the food, I went with the “Rohnert pork”, as how can I not go with something named after the city. I enjoyed it, my only request would be maybe add another veggie. Bell peppers, onions, even jicama or something to give it a little crunch.
But let me tell you, that pulled pork was season two perfect perfection, and the fries are really good.
Turns out they have a dessert fry option that I learned about later, so my next review will be covering that, as dessert fries seems like an outstanding way to either end or start my weekend

Smokin Bowls is the kind of spot you stumble into once and end up coming back to every week. The food? **CHEFS KISS**. Bowls packed with bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and solid portions – One Bowl can feed two people.
The vibe is super chill—laid-back but not boring. Great playlist in the background (think feel-good hits with some throwbacks mixed in), and the customer service? Top notch. Everyone’s friendly, fast, and just cool to talk to.
Bonus points for the rotating movies playing on the screen. Makes the whole experience feel cool to chill at while giving those with attention spans the size of a goldfish something to look at.
If you’re into good food, good people, and good energy, Smokin Bowls is a must.
10/10 recommend.

I drive 3 hours to eat here. I love it! We always get the roast beef and mashed potato and/or Boy Named Sue bowl. The nicest young men are focused on good quality food!! ❣️❣️ and yes, that’s 103” television for movie nights!

Very cool concept! The staff is friendly. They have a large selection of bowls with everything from Asian flavors to BBQ to Southern comforts. The bowls are really flavorful and they give you more than enough. We could only eat half. Definitely worth a try.

Loved this place! Food was great and filling. Restaurant was clean and comfortable. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Large screen TV was playing a basketball game and a variety of other things on smaller tvs.
