Nice little shack for a quick bite.
Better than a burger.

Fresh tasty ingredients

Solid, reliable food that you literally can't go wrong with. Always served with a smile and what I appreciate most, other than the whole ingredients, is the fact that it's truly priced fairly.
For those who are Gluten-Free, we love that Whole Bowl is fully gluten-free!

Bonus? The serve Nate's Oatmeal cookies which are the best (and also GF)! 🙌🏽

The Whole Bowl is simple, delicious, and so easy to get that it's hard to stop yourself from getting it for every lunch. There is only one simple option to buy here which is their bowl of beans, rice, cheese and other delicious ingredients that is similar to a burrito bowl you would get elsewhere.

The best part besides it just tasting delicious and being a quick meal to get is that it's very affordable! Only $8 for their bowl is such a steal for me and makes me love it even more. Highly recommend a stop here for their delicious bowl!

I like the food when I happen to find them open. Unfortunately their chalkboard outside says open every day 11-530 but I keep trying to go here during those hours only to find them closed :/

They make one thing, and they make it very well. The magic sauce is especially good. The bowl is vegetarian (with a "veganize it" option) and gluten free, but you're not thinking about dietary restrictions because it is so satisfying. Lots of yummy beans.We noticed that my husband's big bowl seemed to have a larger proportion of brown rice than my bambino bowl. He wished he'd ordered the bambino because the big bowl ended up being too much for him to finish. We also got an order of chips to share, which was nice but not necessary for enjoyment. The available hot sauces are a nice touch, even if they're all pretty mild to me, an admitted spicy-food fanatic.This is just a stand. The area where you order and wait for your food is covered. There is a small uncovered bench in front where you can sit and eat, but if the weather is bad, do take-out.

Vegetarian options: The bowl is vegetarian. You can also ask them to "veganize" the bowl.

Dietary restrictions: All bowls are nut free and gluten free. It's easy to "veganize" the bowl, which would make it dairy free as well.

40 dollar grease ball cheese burger here. 32 dollar pad see ew with a 40 minute wait time there. where can you get lunch in slabtown without returning like the village drunk to work? Whole bowl. Whole bowl is where you get lunch. 11.50 out the door for a big bowl & chips. I rolled my eyes when I first saw “like eating a hug” all over their stuff, but after eating I can confirm it feels very similar to a hug.Great spot, cheap, delicious, healthy & quick. I recently recommended whole bowl to someone who lives 4500 miles away. so good I forget my geography.

$9-16oz vegetarian bowl (vegan on request, no vegan cheese, no vegan sour cream, just extra avocado). Their homemade sauce has a curry-ish taste and is orange so prob is an ingredient.

If you’re wondering if you should get a bowl, stop pondering and do it. Idk what magic they put in to the sauce but wow it’s so delicious.
