    New sandwich options
    Theresa G.

    I have loved Boudin all my life. Since my days as a kid in San Francisco and the big Boudin store/restaurant. This Boudin is on the smaller side with no outside seating. The staff were super nice and attentive as soon as we walked in. The have all the classics as well as some new items I put in the pictures. Food was out fast and good as always. Clam chowder bread bowl for the win. We got as dessert my fave snickerdoodle cookie and almond croissant and my free monthly sourdough bread with my rewards points. I like my loaf sliced for sandwiches. Its great to know I have this option in Sac. :)

    Clam Chowder in a sour dough bread bowl, Delicious!
    Sonia H.

    Stopped by for lunch on a rainy cold day. Was greeted right away by the friendly staff. Only one thing is good for a cold rainy day, the Clam Chowder in a bread bowl! Boudin's clam chowder in a sourdough bowl is pure San Francisco comfort food. The chowder is rich and creamy without being heavy, packed with tender clams and perfectly cooked potatoes,ñ. Every spoonful feels warm and satisfying, especially on a cold rainy day. The real star, though, is the iconic sourdough bowl. The bread has that signature Boudin tangy chew with a crisp crust that holds up beautifully against the clam chowder. As you eat, the bread soaks up the soup, making the last bites even better than the first. It's classic, nostalgic, and absolutely worth it.

    I came in for a quick meal, and the free monthly bread loaf ( free every month with a prior purchase), but they were out of the loaf. I ordered the fries with garlic seasoning and sea salt, and a turkey and cheese sandwich on grilled bread, and paid additional for a loaf of bread. The ordering process was pretty slow, and had little initiative in confirming your order, so I'm guessing the ordering clerk may be new, and allowed some grace. The fries were nice and hot but underwhelming, no garlic flavor or salt til you got to the last five, and small for the $5+ price. The sandwich did not have cheese, and the bread was not toasted as requested, but the turkey was very fresh and was good. I haven't tried the bread yet, but I dropped it because she didn't put the bread in the right size bag to keep it from tearing. The food prep is usually pretty accurate so I'll have to give it a pass. It was a longer wait than usual. During the holiday season, I would suggest to give yourself plenty of time, and allow longer wait times.

    The review is based on take-out experience. Thanks to Cass N. for sharing the BOGO week on salads. I placed my orders on line, head to Boudin and the order was ready for pick-up. It was pretty smooth except they forgot my soup. Good thing is that I discovered it before I left. She was apologetic about it. NBD - double check your orders. Tip: There was a long line when I got there and I didn't see a separate line/area for Online/Take-out orders. I went up to the counter and asked one of the workers. My order was sitting on the counter. So, don't stand on line. I got the Asian Citrus Salad and Little Gem Cobb. Both salads was great with fresh ingredients. Good portion. The fries was just okay, not the best I had. The add-on soup was tiny, not worth the $6. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, a nice place to grab a simple lunch and soup spot. I think I'll make an effort to dine in one day. It looks spacious and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I

    Clam Chowder
    Amber V.

    Decided to change things up for lunch and come to Boudin SF. We always visit when in SF but I haven't been to this location before. I ordered online for pick up and when I arrived 15 minutes later it was packed and ready to go. The Cobb salad was surprisingly large, I did ask for extra dressing in the notes section of the online order form but they did not honor that request. I do highly recommend getting extra dressing tho as the tiny container they give is definitely not enough for the size of the salad. I also wish they offered blue cheese dressing, as the closest they had was ranch which I'm honestly not a huge fan of. The clam chowder was full of clam pieces and not a single one was chewy or grainy. The broth though was a tad watery and could be thicker IMO. Overall, was a nice change of my regular lunch spot and will be in the forefront again for my lunch rotation.

    Bowl of soup!!!!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a busy place 4 a Sunday.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was a tad slow, but again, they were busy!!! Staff was very friendly & helpful!!! My daughter ordered the "pick a pair" w/ a turkey avocado sammich & broccoli cheese soup. I got a bowl of broccoli cheese soup. The bread for the sammich was n soft & fluffy, it was a refreshing bite!!! And their broccoli cheese soup is 1 of the best in town!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It seemed as every1 there was enjoying themselves & having fun!!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a patio area of u wanna enjoy themselves sunshine & fresh air!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]'

    Was so happy to see that Boudin put the Crab Mac and Cheese back on the menu... I've been waiting for like ever... When I saw it was back I ran right in and ordered it first off it's now $19 (inflation) I guess and it comes in bowl 1/2 the size it once was. The old crab Mac and cheese was more of a bake and was so delicious with a garlic butter type sauce and was always piping hot.. Was the absolute best thing to eat on a cold night... The new one left a lot to be desired it tasted like velveta shells and cheese with canned crab thrown on it.. looks like all good things must come to an end. Service was amazing though and the chocolate chip cookies never dissapoint. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant is always clean and clear of clutter, always smells good and appears to be ADA complaint[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Mission Street Fries
    Ambreen A.

    I had an appointment near by and it was lunch time so thought I'd stop in because I've heard good things about Boudin SF. I asked the nice lady taking my order for recommendations and she recommended the mission street fries. We also got a caprese sandwich and a Margherita Pizza. Everything was good. Not super delicious to the point where you keep craving the food afterwards and can't wait go back. Unfortunately. Just good.

    First time visiting this location. Was in the area and what is better than picking up a free loaf and having a clam chowder bowl. If anyone that comes here isn't a part of their club. Why aren't you? Free loaf a bread. We always get the clown chowder bread bowl. Boudin you always know what to expect because they are always pretty consistent in quality and what you get. I really wish they would warm up the bread and toast it a little bit. I might ask if they can do it next time. I will say that eating there that the clam chowder is a lot better than their canned version. Chowder had plenty of meat and tasted great. They have fresh black pepper grinders upon request which is awesome. I would definitely come here more if there was a closer location.

    Cup of squash soup topped with nuts and cranberries
    Gale K.

    I was surprised to see two menu items with Dungeness crab and both under $20!!! I decided to try the Dungeness Crab Louie! I also had the butternut squash soup. The soup had some walnuts and cranberries on top of the creamy, favorable soup. It was a delicious start to my lunch. The Crab Louie was so good! There was a generous amount of crab, a whole boiled egg, a generous amount of avocado (looked like half), plenty of cherry tomatoes, crispy, fresh romaine, and Louie dressing. A sourdough roll topped it off. I was very impressed with not only the quality of the ingredients but the freshness of everything and all for an unexpected price! Dining out has become so expensive with food costs and increased wages for servers, etc. These added costs have given me pause when tipping. If servers are now being paid a more reasonable wage and food costs have trebled at some restaurants, I am reluctant and even beginning to balk at giving 20% of my purchase. It appears that this restaurant may have considered that as well. I say that because the "suggested tip" amounts include a 10% suggestion. I really appreciate that. Service was good and the atmosphere was inviting. I also walked away with a loaf of sourdough bread because I belong to the rewards program! I will definitely return soon to try the other Dungeness crab offering before it leaves the menu.

    I usually come to this location earlier in the day. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I stopped by this evening and it was so much more pleasant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Lots of young adults working and all very helpful and smiling. We ordered clam chowder and chilli to warm up from the cold weather. Got my free reward loaf of sliced sourdough too!

    Does anyone know if they have the smaller bread bowls to take home? Can't seem to get anyone on the phone, thanks!

    Yes they do. I know they offer them through Door Dash so they have to have them there.

I had it on sourdough, and it was a very good quality sourdough as well. I ordered a small sandwich, and it was enough to fill me up. For what I got, the price was extremely reasonable.

The Pastrami was on Sweet French (once again, wonderful), also huge and loaded with lean, thin sliced, Pastrami (probably from Sysco). I am some what of a Pastrami freak and this definitely wasn't my style. The Mac Salad was not home made and likely straight out of the bucket from Sysco. Basic salad is the best way to describe it. The sandwiches are somewhat limited in terms of proteins. Chicken and turkey dominate the starting lineup with pastrami and roast beef are pinch hitters. Totally missing are the traditional deli standards such as salami, mortadella, ham, and capicola combination sandos. Despite what the website says, they do have fountain sodas. It is Pepsi centered but lacks Pepsi Zero (it does have Diet but not the DW's fav). The website says the Pure Leaf Tea is $2.75 but was billed at $4.00. Better Pastrami and salads would have made this a 5 rating rather than a 4. We will return but only for the bread and chicken/turkey.

She said "there's a Carmichael store that might do you more justice." Oh... instead of walking the 5 minutes it would take to go, I will DEFINITELY start driving to the Carmichael location. It's hard for people to find jobs anywhere and this attitude is why I am quick to cut specific locations and even brands off. #1 restaurant over chic fil a with no prep or training on communicating.
