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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

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!

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.

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.

I was greeted with a wonderful lady at the register who helped me pick my choice of food and was super friendly. Got the corn bread, amazing 10/10 . Got the strawberry cornbread, superb 10/10. Lastly I had the Mac and stack bowl, they filled it passed the brim of the bowl, large amounts of Mac and cheese, chicken and fries. The perfect amount of crispy and the right amount of flavor 10/10. Definitely a place to check out!

My family had Bentley Bowl cater my brother-in-love’s repast. Look. I don’t even eat macaroni and cheese, but theirs had me wanting more! I don’t know what they did to those corn muffins. Babyyyyyy!!! Everything was delicious! If I lived in Bakersfield, I’d definitely be one of your regular customers. I can’t wait to see who you guys become by my next visit! Great job!

My family and I attempted to order from this restaurant three separate nights, and each time, we were unsuccessful because of wildly inconsistent and unreliable hours.
Attempt 1: Google Maps hours didn’t match Apple Maps hours. They directed me to check their Instagram.
Attempt 2: Their hours were only posted on an Instagram story, which expires after 24 hours, contradicting the permanent schedule on their Instagram profile.
Attempt 3: We messaged them directly to confirm their hours, which they stated were until 5:00 PM on DoorDash. However, they were closed by 4:40 PM.
As a result of this repeated confusion and misinformation, three dinner plans were ruined. Until they can establish one, reliable source for their operating hours–and stick to it–I cannot recommend this business. Young owners still learning how to run a business.
Update: Addressing the Owner’s Response
The owner’s response only confirms the immaturity and inconsistency that led to this one-star review. Instead of taking accountability for their confusing operating hours, they chose to attack my feedback and brag about their academic credentials, which are irrelevant to running a professional business.
Here is a point-by-point rebuttal to the owner’s claims:
“You were FULLY made aware of our hours”
This is false. My frustration is rooted in being given multiple, conflicting sources for your hours.
Attempt 1: I have screenshots showing a conflict between your Google Maps and Apple Maps hours. Your team admitted to the confusion at the time, providing a half-apology and directing me to a third source: Instagram.
Attempt 2: Your “permanent” hours on your Instagram profile were contradicted by an expiring Instagram Story. It is an unreasonable expectation for a customer to have to check a temporary story every day to figure out when they can place an order 3 days later. This is not a sustainable or professional way to communicate your schedule.
“How was your dinner plans ruined 3 times, when we clearly spoke in IG”
The third failed attempt occurred AFTER speaking with you on Instagram.
Attempt 3: I messaged your account directly that day to confirm the closing time for DoorDash, and you confirmed 5:00 PM. I have a screenshot of this conversation. When I went to place my order at 4:40 PM, you were already closed. This confirms the operating hour you provided me with was false.
“It do not show the DoorDash hours. As those are not physical hours, but delivery hours!!!!!!”
This is an absurd and irrelevant distinction, and their own posting contradicts it. I have a screenshot of the schedule they posted (like the one showing 10/1 and 10/2), which clearly states “DoorDash ONLY!” next to the specific operating hours. For a delivery customer, the delivery hours are the only hours that matter, and regardless of the platform, the time you post must be accurate and consistently honored.
My Conclusion Stands:
My review was about inconsistency and unreliability. The owner’s highly defensive, overly personal, and unprofessional response confirms they are not ready to handle critical feedback or operate with the standard of clarity customers expect. My three dinner plans were indeed ruined due to a constant stream of misinformation, and until they can establish one, reliable source for their operating hours—and stick to it—I cannot recommend this business.
