They add a plastic bag over the hot soup pots and only have plastic utensils.... That releases billions of microplastics into your food and is completely substandard practice for a "restaurant ". Also rude staff and long wait times. I do NOT recommend unless you want to be exposed to billions of microplastics. read more

My husband and I stop by her before seeing a movie in the mall. The atmosphere was fairly standard for a mall restaurant. Clean enough. Nothing too comfy though. We both had half-and-half orders. Mine was a pastrami melt, with a cup of chili. The chili was very good. Pastrami melt was flavorful, but very very small. My husband had the clam chowder with a rib melt. He felt almost exactly the same. Although I think I enjoyed my Chili more than he enjoyed his clam chowder, overall this is a good experience. Nothing special, nothing too bad. read more

I decided to take a chance on Boudin's new Salad since I got a $3 coupon off from their mailing list. I chose the new summer salad 2023 the seared Ahi Tuna salad. The ingredients are Seared ahi tuna, spring mix, napa cabbage, cucumber, edamame, carrot matchsticks, fresh avocado, wasabi drizzle, Asian sesame dressing, topped with Furikake seasoning, served with crispy wontons and sesame seeds. I was pleasantly pleased with the sourdough dinner roll, always my favorite part is the bread. I enjoyed limited salad. I like how Boudin comes out with new recipes, some can be really tasty. I feel healthy eating it and filled me up for lunch. I was happy line wasn't long on Saturday during lunch time 1pm. read more

My staple for lunch! Their soup and sandwich combo is always the perfect portion for lunch. Soups are always creamy, sandwiches are healthy, and it's super filling! I usually get this to go but this time we ate in the restaurant and the servers were extremely friendly and attentive :) read more

Now that I'm not vegan anymore, Boudin is a much more enjoyable experience :') The grilled cheese is the love of my life, especially paired with either butternut squash soup or the tomato soup. It's usually just so deliciously melted and cheese and crisp and soft all at the same time, although it was missing a little something this time, maybe because it was brought out with a group order so it cooled down a bit. And the soups make the perfect dipping compliment (careful, though, they're scalding hot when they bring them out!!). The accompanying salad is pretty good too (the vinaigrette is tart and fresh). They're checking vaccine cards so be ready to show them when you order! The service is honestly pretty fast, and there's seating both inside the restaurant and outside of it (in the mall). read more

Gross me out. This is rating one of the workers there. Just because they have gloves on they think they've got clean hands. I was sitting on the outside tables by Boudin having lunch and observed the Caucasian guy with glasses wearing blue plastic gloves. He comes pick up the trash around our table and then wipes the tables with a cloth. Then goes goes back to cashiering and I see him touching his nose. Next thing he'll go touch the bread and go back to cashiering. Yuk. He needs lessons in health and food cleanliness. read more

Food was good but personality of the worker Duana S.needs improvement. We ordered the Bruschetta Pizza but thought it would be like the one we ordered month's earlier on a French bread. Maybe the workers at Sacramento Boudin at Fair Oaks can come to San Francisco to train Duana. First, I didn't know we got a choice of the kind of Free Monthly Bread. Second, I didn't know that I couldn't use 2 coupons on the same day. One table for 2 was clean but still wet from being wiped down. read more

Wow. This place has gone down the drain. I spent $20 for lunch for myself and a friend and I am so embarrassed. I even insisted on Boudin because I remember it being delicious. Worst part, I did a pick up since she couldn't to go out to eat...I am not coming back. She got the bacon breakfast burrito. It was just this limp thing with hardly any stuffing inside. It wasn't even round like the photos. I ordered the clam chowder with half sandwich, it was meh. The chowder was watery. The sandwich had maybe one spoon full of chicken salad which meant it was mostly just bread and this huge leaf of lettuce. Regret not taking photos to show you... read more

The dressing is the star of the meal, it's tangy, sweet, and savory! Definitely would order again! Italian Sandwich -- Pretty generic, the bread was super tough to bite into. This is a cold sandwich with meats, lettuce, mayo, & dijon mustard. Probably wouldn't order this again. read more

We come down to San Francisco on occasion. For over 2 years we've been looking for a place with great clam chowder and garlic cheese bread. We finally hit the jackpot with Boudin's! Very tasty chowder with a lot of flavor AND garlic cheese bread for a very decent price. We took a turkey cranberry sandwich for later while we were there. All of the food was delicious. read more

Boudin - Clam chowder bread bowl - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

Boudin bread is the best sourdough bread. When toasted, the exterior has a nice crispy crunchy texture. The hot sandwiches are very good and tasty. I used to like their clam chowder but it has so much starch in it now (flour). It still tastes good, but too heavy. I never get the chowder in bread bowl, it soaks up all the delish soup and very few people consume the entire bread bowl. I'm glad this Boudin is at Stonestown otherwise to cross to the Richmond side or Fishermen's Wharf and it is a pain to get to those Boudin stores. They don't bake at this store, so when they run out, which they do at times, I have to settle for something else. The back has a small dining area but plenty outside seating in the mall. There's always a line at meal hours. Taking home a baguette is such a treat as i look forward to making sandwiches at home. I do pick up 2 big loaves of Boudin bread from Costco but there's so much of it that we're eating for days. A loaf can be placed in the freezer up to 3 mos, wrapped in plastic. read more

So while in the mall for an errand, I decided to stop by and try their Test kitchen short rib with cheese sandwich which from the picture looked really good. Unfortunately what I got did not look like anything from the advertised picture. I should have taken a pic of the photo that was hanging on the wall near the cashier area. Those darn photo stylists really know how to make a food pic look good. At any rate. 2 stars for today's visit specifically for the sandwich. read more

What's not to like about a free pound of bread every month?? Well, it would be nice if the people working there (at the Stonestown location) would just pretend that they don't mind giving it to you! Yes, you get a free one pound loaf of sourdough bread each month for being a "loyalty rewards member", but the folks there don't seem to be too happy when you go get it. The sourdough bread, especially the round, is delicious. I like to heat it in the oven until it's crunchy on the outside and hot and soft on the inside; then you slather it with butter and stuff your face with it!! It's nice and sour the way it should be! Love SF sourdough! Alas, on the last day of this month, I went at the last minute to claim my free loaf and they were out of sourdough!! I ended up with a two pound loaf of multigrain bread, which was more expensive than the one pound sourdough, but they just deduct the price of the sourdough and you pay the difference. I also picked up a couple of cookies since I don't like just going to get my free loaf. And STILL they didn't seem that happy to see me!! Oh, well, the things I put up with for my free sourdough! Seriously, though, I really do appreciate getting the bread... it's very tasty! I'll go earlier this month to be sure I can get sourdough; the multigrain just doesn't do it for me! read more

What's up: After catching the windy and chilly sunset over at Twin Peaks, we were ready to chow down on some warm food. Curious about San Francisco's clam chowder, we ended up at Boudin. Parking: The restaurant is located in the Stonestown Galleria. Parking was plentiful at night and we even found an open EV charging spot to charge the car; and it's free! Environment: Whether you're there to order to go or you're planning to dine there, place your order at the counter first. There's several seating options to choose from: outside the immediate area or inside. The refreshments station is towards the right as you walk inside towards the interior tables. If dining in, you'll be given a table marker that indicates your order number. What was ordered: - Clam Chowder in a Sourdough Bread Bowl (creamy chowder; would have been better if the sourdough was more sour) - Goat Cheese & Sun-dried Tomato Pizza (wasn't too fond of the goat cheese and the tomatoes were a bit too sour for my taste) - Chicken Pesto Pizza (tasty) Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. The food overall was good. My favorite was definitely the Clam Chowder. Staff members were friendly and the place was quiet. Credit cards are accepted. read more

Went in tonthe shopping center outlet tonite for a quick dinner. Ordered a crab melt that came with salad. There were 2 workers behind the counter, 2 in the kithen area, and a cashier . Maybe 3 customers. The ones behind the counter and kitchen were buisly gossiping and doing whatever. It took a full 15 minutes for my sandwitch to come out of the kitchen alcove, and it sat on the countertop while the workers gossiped . Eventually, i asked if that was my box, and the woman slid it down to me and turned back to her friend. I just grabbed the box and my drink and left. Later, in my car, i noticed... no salad and the sandwich was cold. Trust me....never again will i do business there, read more

Came for a quick Sunday afternoon lunch after church. The clam chowder bread bowl is standard. Since I got discharged from an illness stay at two hospital facilities I been yearning outside restaurant quality food, including but not limited to mall quality food. I cannot get tired of the Boudin sourdough. They gave me plenty of butter for the empty bread bowl. This chowder is better than any canned versions from Progresso or Campbell. A bit pricey but in my opinion worth it. read more

One of my earliest and fondest memories as a child involved munching on the flaky bread bowls from Boudin, so I revisited these memories by ordering the same clam chowder that I savored as a preschooler. The creamy clam chowder and buttered sourdough bread bowl tasted just as hearty as I remembered. Some of the displayed pastries and bread loaves looked equally tempting, but I resisted the urge to buy and devour them all (for now). Even though this place seemed crowded and busy, the staff still processed my payment and plated my order quickly. Also, the lively chatter in Stonestown was reminiscent of the nostalgic, loud bustle of Pier 39 Boudin location many years ago. read more

This is strictly a review about the lady at the pickup counter who was really rude. I ordered a sandwich with a side of chips and when I looked in the bag I noticed there were no chips. I asked the person at the counter about it and she said "sorry we are out of chips" and I said I wasn't informed about that. She said in a snarky voice "well it's complimentary and we don't have chips" I said well then can I have a side salad instead. She rolled her eyes and said "well we don't have chips and you didn't ask for a salad" I wasn't sure if she was understanding what I was saying and I get there were a lot of people waiting for their orders but it doesn't excuse the attitude. I ended up leaving cause I felt like the conversation wasn't going anywhere. read more

We got the chowder in sourdough and french dip sandwich. Chowder was good, creamy, clean taste but not life changing. I'm not sure if such chowder exists though.

Yummmm! I ordered the half sandwich and soup combo which I found to be a delicious choice. I went with a tuna melt and tomato soup. The tuna melt was pretty good and very cheesy. The sourdough bread was nicely grilled. For me, the star was the soup. I really enjoyed the tomato soup; it was a nice blend of flavors. A little acidic, a little sweet. Very bold tomato flavors with nice little bits of toasted bread cubes. You could taste some bits of tomato which made me think it's fresh, but I don't really know for certain. Anyway, it's tasty to me. I also had a bit of their clam chowder and it was delicious as usual. Flavorful, lots of potato, and clams. Mmm! read more

Food: 5/5 for the clam chowder. 3/5 for the bread as it is too dry. 4/5 for the salad as there is not quite enough sauce. Service: Quick. Waiting in line for 5 mins. Waiting 15 mins for the food. The staff is nice. I saw a customer waiting for the manager to appreciate the service from the cashier, which I agreed with her. Ambiance: This layout reminds me Pier 39. I deducted one star off because the hand sanitizer on the table is dirty. It is better to take it off rather than having a dirty bottle of hand sanitizer on the dining table. read more

Yesterday around 5 pm was enjoying my Bruschetta pizza, my friend and I were sharing, until I felt a sharp pain on the right side of my throat. Tried ignoring it, until i realized the pain would persist, it has gotten worse. I still feel throat pain 12+ hours later. My friend brought this up to a supervisor, the supervisor said "what do you want me to do about it", she refused a refund initially because we "finished most except for a little piece" YEAH BECAUSE THATS WHEN THE PAIN STARTED! She said she couldnt do anything about it, because she was just a supervisor, and her manager had rejected the idea of the refund, especially since i "had just ordered on a kiosk." Um hello, cant or wont? It wasn't till i went up to the counter and loudly cried in the store about the pain, I just felt so dismissed. You care more about it when your reputation is at risk. she went back to the manager to approve a cash refund. Completely careless management, acting as if I just selfishly wanted a refund.. my LIFE is at risk here and your management team was worried about $11 dollars? Is that how little a customers health is worth to you? selfish person, caring more about having to process a refund than my pain from YOUR pizza because of careless food handling. I tried asking her to ask her staff about wheather they might have broken something to cause a mini sharp shard to land in my food, she said she would check in with her staff "later" so i waited. She went back to the back, for around 20+ more minutes i waited, still nothing so I left. This should immediately be investigated. My throat hurts each second i breathe now. read more

For a Boudin in a mall, it is not bad! It's definitely not as amazing as the one on Fisherman's Wharf, but it is better that other places in the mall. I order the Tuna Melt which came with Kettle Chips. Surprisingly there were tomatoes in the melt which was a good addition! Never had it like this, but very good. I also order a chocolate chip cookie which was huge and tasty (it's more of the chewy type just fyi). read more

While shopping at the Stonestown Galleria, I remembered that there was a Boudin in this mall. But given that stores and restaurants have closed during these challenging times, I wasn't sure if the location was still here. I headed over to the Nordstrom's end of the mall where I recalled the Boudin's being located. Sadly, the Nordstrom's is gone and the entrance boarded, but Boudin's was open. I got a loaf of sweet French bread and picked up my BDay oatmeal raisin cookie. Love Boudin's large French loaves, so good with the right amount of chewy texture. I did notice that the prices for their sandwiches were a little higher than the other SF location that I go to. I guess higher mall prices. Workers were friendly and efficient. If you need bread or a bite to eat, Boudin's at Stonestown. read more

Got the combo meal option: soup in a breadbowl (+$1) and a salad for $13.49 pre-tax. The keto salad was delicious, very savory, and filling.

I love the sourdough breads, always fresh. However, other menu items are questionable. I don't usually order anything except loaves of bread and the chocolate chip cookies. I thought I would try the Dungeness Crab Louie Salad. It was pitiful! I expected better from Boudin Bakery. Although, I should have known better. Because, previously I tried the French Dip Sandwich, that was sad also. But, the bread was fresh. The menu looks good and I would like to try other options. I'm afraid that I will be disappointed again. No don't want to speak with anyone. Just wanted you to know. And, maybe you can advise your employees to be sure to slice the beef thin, like it should be for the French dip sandwiches. Like the menu photo. read more
