Jon R.

Came in, order and self seating, staff were friendly, restaurant/bistro was clean and bright. Sandwich bread was amazing crispy outside and super soft inside. Classic bread bowl with clam chowder. When we come to this area we try to stop by. Good meal for $15 and filling if you get the bread bowl.

Jowel G.

A day of shopping and I needed some comfort food at the end of a cold night. What a perfect combination of soup and salad. I really loved the Jim Cobb salad here with the large bits of real bacon, avocado and blue cheese. I probably did not need the bread bowl for the clam chowder but it's the original way to enjoy it. The combination special of choosing two of your favorites is a great choice. The service was quick and staff were really courteous. You may not be up in San Francisco, but you can have the meal from there here in Costa Mesa. This place is now a favorite on my list!

Asian Citrus Chicken Salad, Clam Chowder in bread bowl

Tammy D.

Did a stop at Boudin in South Coast, and when it comes to sandwiches, soup, and salad, Boudin always does it for me. My all-time favorite is the Pick Two I usually get the clam chowder in a bread bowl and the Asian salad, but I also have to shout out the grilled cheese and tomato soup Pick Two because that combo is superior. They definitely changed the recipe for the Asian salad recently, but it still has the same essence as the old one just feels a bit more refreshed and modern. I love the sourdough here, although this time around the clam chowder leaned a little more potato-heavy than usual. With Boudin, the chowder can be hit or miss: when it's really good, it's really good, and when it's not, it kind of falls in the middle still okay. I also love their rewards program I always put in my phone number and actually get rewards. Every month you get a free sourdough, and sometimes a few dollars off your order, which is such a nice perk. The service has always been spectacular, and this spot is definitely a staple for us whenever we're out and about or just craving soup, salad, and a sandwich.

Sourdough clam chowder is not too shabby. It isn't the best clam chowder, but the sourdough is fresh and tasty. Sandwiches are also great, and the fresh bread makes a difference. Service is friendly and they move quickly. Open environment with plenty of window seating to enjoy the passerby shoppers.

Stopped in while son and friends were up the street. Was craving clam chowder so not a lot of options. Been here before and it's fine and pricing is about what you'd pay elsewhere for meal and drink. It's not amazing but flavorful enough and with the bread bowl, definitely filling. You can order from kiosk or at counter. Menu had a nice variety and some desserts I hadn't seen before. I'd come back in a cold day for soup here after shopping. Seating inside is basic and restaurant was fairly quiet.

Marc L.

Well we absolutely love Sourdough and when in Nor Cal Boudin is an obligatory must have. Reality So Cal isn't the same experience. Service was good pretty very rudimentary. Not RUDE at all. Just basic. I order via Kiosk take a number and out comes my meal delivered to the table. Sourdough bowl chowder is ok had large chunks and a tasty base. Bread was a little chewy. Salad again was Ok. Location is busy and could use a deep clean and some upgrades. After all it's OC so might need to step it up. Highly recommend the turkey cranberry sandwich.

9/2025 the best fries ever (street fries)

Jen S.

I've been missing out! I thought this was just another "deli-style fast food place and definitely did not expect to enjoy it as much as I had on a recent visit. Very unexpected!!! And so delicious!! Their street fries is fantastic: so crispy, airy fries, it was served hot and savory with their toppings. Texture and flavors are definitely my favorite here. We also tried their crispy chicken sandwich and a pepperoni pizza. The peach shake was another sweet surprise and one I'd definitely revisit to enjoy before it leaves their menu for the season. But, back to that chicken sandwich. The slaw and jalapeños on the chicken sandwich was unique and added a very tasty flavor. The bread/bun was the perfect pillowy and chewy goodness to complement the chicken and slaw. Beyond happy with everything we had ordered. I'll actually be back sooner than later to try more of their menu: French dip; tuna melt; coup in a bread bowl too of course- and that strawberry shake too!

Michelle L.

I used to love coming here when I was vegetarian. Haven't been in a while and saw they had these wonderful vegan options on the menu. I definitely would come back. I enjoyed both items. This location can be a little crowded and there wasn't anywhere for us to sit for a bit, but we did finally find a table that opened up. So glad they have vegan sandwich and salad options now I used to absolutely love coming here. I wish they would offer a vegan soup as well so you could do the soup salad combo.

The clam chowder looks a little small for the price, but it's yummy and surprisingly filling...if you eat the bread too

Patrick ..

The Context: When one thinks of clam chowder, it's hard not to picture Boudin and its bread bowls and ornately bakery items shaped like turtles and alligators. The Food: Naturally I ordered the clam chowder in a bread bowl while my wife got the Southwestern chicken salad. The clam chowder serving seemed small at first, but I was satisfied by the end after eating part of most of the bowl's "lid." The salad came in a huge ceramic bowl -- definitely a plus. The Taste: For store-bought clam chowder on the West Coast, it's hard to beat Boudin. It's always consistent and always satisfying. Meanwhile, the salad was quite good. The crispy chicken was moist and flavorful, the avocado fresh and buttery, and the seeds, leaves, and tomatoes were all fresh. The Price: It's definitely not cheap, but the $15+ I paid for the salad was made less painful by the fact that the portion was huge. I was expecting a tiny bowl and like 3 pieces of chicken. Happy to report that Boudin did not cheap out. And while I was hoping for more soup for what we paid for the claw chowder, it's delicious enough to buy again on occasion. The Conclusion: It's a little overpriced, but it's good enough that we'll be back to try the other dishes and soups.

Dungeness crab mac and cheese and open-faced crab melt

Raven R.

Came here for their seasonal crab menu. The place is clean and well-maintained. The staff is not the most efficient but it seems like they are understaffed and doing the best they can. If you sign up for their rewards program, you get a free sourdough loaf monthly with a dollar purchase. I ordered their pick a pair deal and got their dungeness crab mac and cheese and open faced crab melt. Dungeness crab mac and cheese- It comes with a creamy sauce. They give a generous amount of crab and it works well with the mildness of the cheese sauce. The macaroni is nice and tender and the dish is finished with parsley. Open-faced crab melt- Served on a crispy soardough toast. They give you a good portion of the crab salad so there's plenty to go with every bite. The dressing has a nice sweetness to it. Finished with melted cheese that tied the flavors together. Great meal overall!

Bread bowl is great to fill up with peanuts for squirrels.

Kaylee L.

This is a great place for soups and sandwiches. I have ordered to go here a few times and the food has always been great- fresh and healthy. My favorite is the butternut squash and half short rib melt combo. I've also gotten the half rainbow grain bowl salad and half home style Mac n cheese as well as the beef chilli which is great with tortilla chips. When ordering to go, they provide a couple of butter packets which is nice. Usually when I order the soup to go, it comes in a cup. I was very much surprised when it came with a roll in addition to a bread bowl the last time I ordered for pickup. I wasn't able to finish the bread bowl and decided to finish it another day. It turned out to be super hard and I wasn't able to eat it so I left it outside and filled it with peanuts for the squirrels that visits me.

Haiku: Boudin SF Rich in tradition Freshly baked sourdough bread Still use Mother Dough. --- I've only bought their freshly baked sourdough dough bread loaves & it's heavenly. Its fluffy and soft interior, with a perfectly-colored crusty exterior, is music to my ears (& belly). Thanks to their rich tradition of still incorporating the Mother Dough, Boudin has mastered the baking technique with the perfect tangy sourdough taste. I'm a loyal and forever customer. They also sell fun shaped-breads throughout the year. You can buy baby turtles and turkey & trees during the holidays. Just note, the large holiday breads like the turkey or feast pull-apart-rolls are pre-order only. Tip: Order online for convenient pick-up in store. Next time I'll have to try their food.

My sister ordered Boudin for me and my siblings through the kiosk- later came out in about 10-15 minutes, which was relatively quick for 3 sandwiches and a clam chowder. I ordered the Tuna Salad Sandwich, which was pretty tasty and had a very nice tuna flavor. I don't like tomatoes but to my surprise, the tomatoes were very sweet and actually complimented the sandwich very well. The only downside to our order was that it was missing our chips with the sandwiches- which is why I rated this place a 4 stars. Other than that minor blip, the food was enjoyable! read more

This place was packed at lunchtime. We ordered 3 breadbowls, one clam chowder and two broccoli and cheese. The food took foreverrrr to come out. I think we waited 20 minutes for the food when all they had to do was scoop premade soup into a bread bowl. They also shrank the size of the bread bowl and the soup felt like half the quantity it was before. Everything still tasted good but there wasn't enough. read more

Parking is pretty easy since it's located in a shopping center. Most people park on the upper level, but there is a lower level where it's sometimes easier to find parking. Service is ok.

Customer service is always top notch and the food is always delicious! I will say it seems like portions have gone town a tad, but it is what it is. If it keeps prices consistent I guess that's fine. There is a women who works here (I can't remember her name unfortunately) who has been here for years. And she's amazing and gives great service and is the best.

Honestly I don't really eat Boudin. But it was near by where I was so I thought get that for my wife and I. Jeez was it bad experience. On their website you can upgrade the side for the sandwiches to a salad or soup. But the cashier can't? They don't have side salads or side soups. I had to get a half and half of Caesar salad and clam chowder. I got home and my wife is excited for her salad. Then she notices a bug flying around in the container. She was grossed out after that. The clam chowder was also very thick and chalky. Had the consistency of a thick pudding and not much chowder. Also tasted very fishy. Plus it's so expensive. Didn't realize I was going to be paying over $50 for my wife and I for dinner. I'll save my money and eat somewhere else. Also check your food before you leave. Don't want to get home and find bugs in your food. read more

My mom, sis, and I stopped in for a quick lunch while Black Friday shopping. We all ordered the pick a pair combos. We had a little wait and when the employee brought our food to us he literally threw it down on the table. It was so jolting that it seemed like he had dropped the plates but that was actually his method of delivering food. A little on the rude side. I had the half Italian classic with the Asian chicken salad. The sandwich didn't have much meat in it, a slice of mortadella and a couple of salami slices. It was ok but the crust on the sourdough bread was really tough. The Asian chicken salad was good even though there was literally 3 pieces of chicken on top. My sister enjoyed her tuna sandwich(except for the tough crust). and the Caesar salad. My mom said the clam chowder(which they are known for) needed salt. The restaurant was a little dirty and since the door was open, there were pesky flies dive bombing our food. read more

They could use some TLC on the furniture/windows/tables a bit, sometimes makes those areas seem short staffed when you're dining there. Since it's soup I prefer to dine there and sometimes it's not the most inviting feel. Otherwise, the flavors of the butternut squash soup are the vibe all year round. read more

It's dusty everywhere and all of the tables were dirty. They had no staff at the front so we ordered at the kiosk. Our food took a good 20 minutes.

On a rainy day, the only thing that I want is a grilled cheese and tomato soup, and as an employee of the mall, this was the closest cafe for me to stop at to grab my comfort food. And I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. The grilled cheese that I got was the Brie and apple crostini with fig jam, and it literally hit so hard, I will definitely have to cum by more often during my lunch breaks for this. However, the tomato soup was pretty mid, and I would rather have a can of Campbell's soup because it tastes more sweet. I urge you to try the clam chowder instead, because it was my favorite thing that I had tried on their menu. read more

The food here was delicious! Love the little splash of soup that they put that spills over the bread bowl, a very nice touch. Definitely not a place you would go to find super clean tables and a great atmosphere, but with how cheap the food is, what do you expect? It was a nice inexpensive dinner for us and I'd definitely go back when I'm in the mood for some bread bowls! read more

I'm a Boudin Believer. I was craving for some sourdough bread that was chewy and sour because frankly market sourdough bread is not sour and a bit bland. Found this place through Yelp and did not realize it was a chain. Ordered a breakfast and long baguette to go. The breakfast food was ok but the bread was as good as advertised. The flavor packed a punch and the crust was chewy but not too tough like jerky or days old bread. Also, the aroma of the warm bread made me just starting to rip the baguette and eat some in the car. Thank you Boudin. read more

I was deciding on where to snag lunch on my way to another store doing my rounds and I really wanted a sandwich. I decided to get the Turkado, some dirty Maui chips and drink. The total came to $17 and some change, not bad about the avg for the area and any lunch. The service was great, the woman who helped me was nice, and efficient, she helped me select what chips to get. Not much bantering but I do enough of that at work, so all good here. The store was clean, nice vibe, music. My order was ready in the time it took me to fill my soda cup and sit down to scroll 1 scroll thru outlook emails. Maybe 5-7 mins the woman who gave me my order asked if I wanted some secret sauce on the side, and put it in the bag. The bag felt heavy! The sub was huge! Probably 8inches bread was nice and springy, there was enough lettuce, tomato and sauces on it. I love the sunflower seeds, gives it a nice little crunch. The meat is more of a very thin piled high but there is a lot of it! I like how the sub is assembled meat, cheese, toppings sauce, it seems to hold together nicely.

This review covers my experience across multiple locations, including Harbor Boulevard in Costa…read moreMesa and Beach Boulevard in Huntington Beach. When I first started coming to Board and Brew, I would have given it a solid five stars, but my perspective has shifted after six years of exploring other local options in the county. The Evolution of the Experience: * Ingredients: While the food is definitely better than a pre-made deli sandwich from a grocery store, it isn't exactly top-tier. The bread and meat are good, but as you try more specialized places, you realize these are fairly standard. * The Famous Sauce: Their signature sauce is tasty, but it feels like it contains a high amount of monosodium glutamate (MSG). MSG is a neuro-exciter that can make people feel overstimulated or unwell after eating it, and it feels particularly intense in this recipe. * Consistency: Both the Huntington Beach and Costa Mesa locations were great initially, but they now feel more like a solid, middle-of-the-road option. The Best Use Case: * Catering & Events: Even with a three-star rating, this is absolutely the place I would go if I needed catering for a birthday party or a large event. Their pricing and preparation for bulk orders are hard to beat. Final Thoughts: If Yelp allowed half-stars, I'd probably give this a 3.5. It's a reliable, solid sandwich shop, but the ingredient quality and the intensity of the MSG in the sauce keep it from being a five-star favorite for me anymore. Edit: The owner replied to my comment about how their food is high quality, but 6 years of taste testing says otherwise. While you may not add pure MSG crystals to your sauce, it still contains MSG.It is misleading to claim "No MSG" or "High Quality" when the sauce relies on ingredients that are chemically identical to it. For instance: Tomatoes and Tomato Paste: These are among the highest natural sources of free glutamate. If the recipe uses tomato paste--as many copycats do--it will test positive for MSG. Soy Sauce & Worcestershire Sauce: Both frequently cited in recipes for this sauce, these contain naturally occurring MSG through fermentation or hydrolysis. Nutritional Yeast: Often used to provide a savory flavor, it naturally contains high levels of glutamate.Hydrolyzed Proteins: Ingredients like "hydrolyzed vegetable protein" (HVP) or "yeast extract" are processed specifically to release glutamates. Legally, a company might say they "don't use MSG" if they don't add the pure additive, but that is a technicality. MSG is linked to various health issues for sensitive individuals, and just because many consider it "safe" doesn't mean it's healthy or non-harmful. If the food is truly "high quality," why rely on these additives to create flavor? Best Wishes

Their steak sandwich and their fries are my favorite things to get here. The steak is cooked to your preferred doneness, perfectly seasoned, and topped with an addictively tangy chimichurri. The fries are perfectly seasoned, thick cut fries that get depth from the beefy tallow that they're fried in. When I talk about steak sandwiches, I really mean that it's legit steak. Just look at the gaucho grill in the kitchen that is cranked up/down for optimal heat control. I mention this because they don't cut corners here. Also keep an eye out for their specials, which they announce daily on their IG page. I visited them Saturday on their five-year anniversary and they brought in a guest chef from Argentina, who made amazing Picanha. I got a special where they sliced the picanha over pao de quejo (brazilian cheese bread). It was one of the best bites I've had in a long time. Given that this dish was prepared from a guest chef, it won't be back on the menu anytime soon; however, their regular specials include porchetta on tuesdays and rib sandwiches on Saturdays. I really want to come by for their rotisserie chicken and roasted potatoes; however, I haven't been able to make that happen yet. It's no surprise that it's on the annual list from the LA Times as one of the top 101 restaurants in SoCal! Just don't pass up that steak sandwich and fries.

My nephew and I both had the Soup & salad combo The soup in a bread bowl combines beans, lean beef, tomatoes, onion and cheddar cheese in a perfectly sized bread bowl . The beet & goat cheese salad is bomb. It's a story of a delicious salad that combines goat cheese, beets, tarragon, and spiced nuts over a mi of spring greens topped with a balsamic vinaigrette. But only three stars because the ladys bathroom was dirty, the mini blinds were in disarray and the paint on the walls was chipping. Also the salt shaker was not full and the pepper shaker looked as though they had filled it with pepper while the shaker was still wet. read more

I worked inside this mall and had boudin way too many times, but I always find myself getting the same thing rather than trying other things. If you like sourdough, then you'll love boudin. All their burgers are made with sourdough but you may request to get softer bread if you don't want to give your teeth a hard time. If i'm not eating their burger, i'm probably having soup in their bread bowl. Overall the quality of the food is good and price would be what you expect from any sit down restaurant, which is 10$ per meal. read more
