We got takeout last night. Got home pulled our food out of the bag. I was SHOCKED at the portions and quality of the food, and not in a good way. I got a BLTA for $15.01. See photo below. It was the smallest, skimpiest blt I've ever seen in my life. My husband's half sandwich was sloppy, at best. The bread in both our sandwiches tasted and felt stale (but don't they make bread daily??). We called in to try to get the situation corrected, but couldn't get ahold with a live person after many attempts. Left a message. Never got a call back. read more

Ordered delivery and my sandwich was low quality. The bread was stale, the arugula was wilted and there was only one tomato slice on each half. It was mostly bread. Very disappointing read more

I had the chicken salad and it was so fresh and delicious!! Enough for 2 people so share. Service was good.. ambiance well let's say it's very KID friendly. ENJOY read more

Came here during a Saturday night. Was worried it was going to be busy since we arrived during dinner hours. Nope. Place was as dead as a door nail. The guy working the counter was expressionless. Even tipped him immediately after paying for our meal and before we got our food. He didn't say thanks, he didn't say anything. He looked like he rather be anywhere but there. The food we received was also pretty sad. The clam chowder was ok, the bread bowl it came in was not. The bread wasn't even hot and tasted like it was baked two days ago. My daughter's chicken pesto sandwich was bleh. My wife's chili tasted something like you get out of a can. The management needs to retrain this staff on how to properly greet and service their guests. The kitchen needs to up their game because none of the food was prepared with any pride. I'm originally from San Francisco and Boudin's was top-notch up there which is probably why they expanded. Unfortunately, they did not live up to standards. read more

Quick and easy to eat here. We ordered for takeout and the food was ready on time. The clam chowder was still hot when we got it home, which was delicious. The salad that we ordered was fresh and definitely enough for a meal. I also thought that the portion for the kids clam chowder was perfect and it came with a cute fish shaped sour sigh bread. read more

I used to be a huge fan of this place but not anymore. The quality seemed a little off. Ordered soup in a bread bowl & half a sandwich. The clam chowder didn't seem to have very many clams & had a seafood taste to it. My sandwich (turkey & cranberry) was ok. It had 3 cranberries in it & very strong tasting onions. I'm not an opinion fan, so of course I picked those suckers out. To bad I could still taste them. . No I don't know if it's because I am getting old or what, but I was burping up chowder all night. Gross. I understand inflation, but prices were a tad high for what you get. $23 for 2 soup in bread bowls & half sandwiches. Water to drink. Staff friendly. Doubt we'll be back. read more

food was cold they served our food until I went up after I saw two other families that came after us be served. they said they ran out of forks. it was horrible service and the staff was rude. I told my daughter I will not be retuning. read more

The reason for this one star was because of the sewer smell in the restaurant. My husband and I walked in on the evening of November 26, and it was so overpowering we had to leave the restaurant. Also, the salads I saw sitting out ready to be served, all I could think I was I hope the lettuce was not cleaned with the same smelling water! read more

The food was really good. Instead of a small bag of chips as a side the next time I will go with either a side salad or a 1/2 and 1/2 or a bread bowl soup. read more

Always sooo yummy smelling in there! I especially love this place in the fall and winter! The Soups and bread!!! Ohhhh the joys in my tummy! Tomato and their chicken is awesome!

The service here sucks. A bunch of teenagers that don't seem to care work here, making it frustrating as a guest. No sense of urgency or customer service skills what so ever. Upon ordering I wasn't asked for my phone number or rewards card. When my food was dropped off I wasn't asked if I needed anything else. The employee just walked away. Not sure if this is their first job or a lack of training, but they need to do better. No complaints in regards to the food. It's always good. read more

Without having to return to visit I can say I am very glad we haven't. Just taking a look at the most recent reviews; the same exact issues we dealt with. Disgusting facility. Clearly the in-house management isn't doing anything about this issue nor is anyone on a corporate level. This is so sad. We used to love boudin. No more. read more

I haven't been to Boudin in quite a while..not super convenient to my house and I'm not a big fan of sandwiches. When I got a reward through their program for a free grain bowl, I decided to make the trip to give it a try. The strategy obviously worked because I'm now totally hooked on the Delicious Citrus Bowl. The description (cabbage, kale, feta, pickled onions and oranges, quinoa) may not sound like a natural combination of flavors, but the whole thing just works. It's a great contrast of tart and sweet and crunchy. The serving size of greens was generous, and I added chicken for $2.50 which was a decent value. It was a filling and tasty lunch, coming with a sourdough roll. Highly recommend this new menu item and hope they keep it. read more

Parking is plenty. Ambiance is comfortable. Service was very friendly and all smiles. I ordered a BBQ chicken salad. It was not that great. Corn and beans were still frozen. Bbq sauce on the side and not on the chicken a tub of lettuce and an ounce of dressing. Friend ordered short rib melt , she said 10/10 but her salad was wilted and soggy most of the lettuce was black and moist. She had to toss it. I'd say this place is better at sandwiches and meals than salads. read more

We pickup a Boudin order at least 1x per week but used the yelp/grubhub delivery tonight. For some reason it took over an hour to make: The Great Grilled Cheese, Bowl of Beef Chili, peanut butter cookie. Thankfully the delivery guy got here in 5 min after it was ready. The food was all cold & ants were crawling around inside the grill cheese box, cookie bag, and bottom of my delivery bag. Not sure if they set the food on the ground or what but ants inside the food box is a bit too gross for me so it went in the trash. Thankfully GrubHub made it right (even though its not really their responsibility). They often don't have things found on their online menu & you don't know until picking up that its not included, they also frequently forget sides and things which is frustrating for such high prices This is likely the last time we'll order boudin :( read more

Boudin is our go to for a quick and healthy lunch. We love their salads and bread the most but the sandwiches are also very good.

Great service, great food, excellent sourdough. Highly recommend. I always pick up loaves to take home as well as items to eat now.

Just ordered from Boudin for the first time. Not only are the sandwiches extremely small for the price I paid, I wasn't even provided with the bread bowls that I ordered. I have some extremely small cups of soup in cardboard. That's not a bread bowl... On top of that, they won't answer their phone. What a rip off and an absolute fail. Will never order from here again. read more

The man taking my family's order is super rude! I get it, you hate your job but you don't need to be a dick.

My husband and I have ordered from here through DoorDash several times while visiting the area. Orders sometimes had mistakes, but stuff happens and it wasn't a deterrent. Today's dessert came with some unexpected extra protein. A fly, crawling around INSIDE the sealed plastic bag with the chocolate croissant. I complained to DoorDash but they just said they'd report it to Boudin, couldn't refund the order. Didn't want the rest of the food after that, won't be ordering from here again. read more

Food is awesome, service needs help! Took over 10 minutes for my order and line backed up over 6 people.

I'm not a fan of this place. The bread here is so hard that my jaw was hurting halfway through and I couldn't eat the rest of my sandwich. Even with the breads that are supposed to be softer, the crusts were hard as well that I had to peel off the crusts like a child. I've tried their Turkey Cranberry Sandwich, Sourdough French Dip, and Italian Classic. Every single one of those sandwiches I never really enjoyed because the bread was just too hard for me to chew through. For the turkey cranberry sandwich the crust was too hard. They were all seriously like rocks. Not even the dip for the french dip could help soften up the bread for my poor jaw. I don't even have a weak mouth; it's not like I have dentures or fragile teeth or anything. But for me the bread here is just too hard for me to chew through. This last time I just gave up on the sandwich and left still feeling hungry, because I would rather leave hungry than get a sore jaw at the end of the day. As far as the taste of the food though it's decent. I don't think it's anything special that's exclusive to this brand. I do like the soup that they have though so at least that helps a bit to filling me up. Otherwise though, I don't think I would willingly come back to this place. read more

Boudin SF - Italian Classic - Bakeries Near Me - San Marcos, California

I'm not sure who the hiring manager is, let alone supervisor who trains and teaches customer service at this location!! I've been throughly baffled by the way my family and I have been treated numerous times by the employees at this location. Half the time the staff seems to have their backs turned to the guests and only after I've been waiting patiently do they acknowledge me and then behave like robots lacking human kindness. They almost treat me like one is a nuance. Without customer, these employees wouldn't have a paycheck! I've been in the restaurant business myself and they have the kitchen line on full display where occasionally I've seen the kitchen staff not wearing hairnets, let alone hats! I feel sorry for whoever has received hair in their food! On top of that, the last time my husband and I ordered ours California burgers, we received them medium rare! I called once and was told the burgers were only ever cooked to well-done! If that wasn't a disappointment enough, I go to bite in my white chocolate macadamia nut cookie and practically crack a tooth at how rock-solid it was. Definitely not freshly baked...all in all, there are places where customers service is a higher priority and the food is double checked before it's handed out to paying customers!!!! read more

I used to go to Boudin SF often when I lived in OC, so when I found out there was a location cl9se t9 where I moved, I got so happy! I always enjoy the food. My go-to is a half BBQ Chicken Salad and a Clam Chowder. The Salad was yummy, but the clam chowder was a bit thinner than Im used to. Also, the salad was made very sloppy. The greens and dressing were hanging off the plate and touching the table when they brought it out to me. They also didnt have a Sourdough roll with it (which theyre supposed to give you one), so I had to ask for one. We sat outside, and it smelled like freaking garbage. It was a nice day too, maybe mid/high 70s. And it smelled like hot garbage. I only picked to sit outside cuz the inside dining area smelled like musty, wet mop. I would go again, but only as Take-Out. I did not like sitting at the restaurant. Sorry for any typos, posted on Mobile. read more

RIDICULOUS!!! We ordered 1 sandwich and one bread bowl. It took ONE HOUR. And then they served us just my bread bowl and said they never put my husbands order in and said in the rudest way (with a smirk) it will be another 10 mins or so. The kid didn't like my silent in shock reaction so he gave me attitude. LOL! My husband had a sandwich people! We waited another 20 mins and they STILL didn't put the order in. We gave ourselves about 2 hrs to chill together but then I ended up rushing to get out of there in order to get ready and run to work!!! I was so mad my husband didn't get to eat with me. We never get to have time together. Absolutely ridiculous!!! And the servers attitudes were mind blowing acting like airheads that didn't care. I made them refund my entire order. I understand... If you can't have enough staff to open up then fine. Don't add on to go orders, grub hub orders, etc and make your in house customers wait and or not get food! Ugh. Still frustrated. read more

Do you like VERY dry bread that cuts the roof of your mouth and salad drowned in vinaigrette? Come on down to Boudin SF!!! The bread is so dry and tough that your jaw is definitely going to feel it after eating. We couldn't even finish the salad because every bite had a soaked in vinaigrette. Thanks Boudin for the great experience, now i'm going relax after that jaw workout. read more

Soup Nazi Thanks for the "cup" of soup. No way these are even a full ladle. The lady said that's how it's supposed to be. I also ordered a "to go" soup and it was half empty as well. I asked her to fill it and she grabbed another empty cup and said this is how full it's supposed to be, one full ladle. When she poured the new one it is came at least an inch higher than the one she had given me. I get that there should be a standard, however the standard seems to have been lowered at customer expense. Side note, the taste was ok. The grilled cheese sandwich was barely toasted. Disappointed read more

My friend and I called a bunch of places to see if they offered WiFi because we had to work on our laptops during lunch. So we called here and spoke to a young man over the phone and I asked him if they offered WiFi and he said yes and I said can you please double check! And he said yes we do! So we drove 20 mins to this place waited in line for 15 mins to get to the front and I asked before ordering food what the WiFi password was and he looked at me and asked the employee next to him and she said we don't offer WiFi.... And Ofcourse this was the guy I had called and spoke to over the phone he responded "we should offer WiFi I'm sorry I thought we did..." so Ofcourse we left. I just want to suggest to the manager to maybe retrain your employees or train a bit better so that people aren't wasting their time, money, or gas! I mean the guy didn't even know the difference between a Pinot noir and a Chardonnay ... you'd expect if a restaurant only serves 2 different wines, one white, one red an employee would know the difference. read more

First time at this location. Service was bad, slow cashier seemed to not care about anything. Lots of customers waiting for orders that were incomplete. No one was notified there were no bread bowls, the cashier could have said something but didn't. They gave a dinner roll instead. Then want to charge a dollar for a refund. 11/21- still haven't heard from anyone. read more

Used to be a great place to eat! Who manages this place? Horrible service, whosever does the ordering for this store should find another job! You walk into this place and instead of a full menu, they have a menu of left overs. Almost all soups are out, refuse to discuss with you what you have on your account with there great rewards system. I guess this place has gone to the trash can just like the City of San Francisco. Boudin, better step it up and hire people that care, otherwise I see this store going out of business. I guess my review is harsh do the disappointment of driving 15 miles to this place for warm comfort food. And to receive my BLTA with one toasted slice of bread and the other not even warmed up. Shame on me for having a basic expectation. read more

4.5 stars First time trying this Boudin location and was very pleased with the service and food. Great customer service and patient with me ordering. Upon food arrival I asked for side additional shredded cheese & butter and was given a generous amount! (Huge plus!) - .5 stars The utensils did not seem to be very clean especially the spoons. - .5 stars Even though I am familiar with Boudin.. I did take a little longer to order because the menu was so small and only located in front of the cashier. I recalled menus being displayed on the wall, but I'm not sure about this location? I believe having the menu enlarged on the wall can help customers order more quickly. read more

Just picked up and brought home one of the new BBQ Chicken Pizzas. What a disappointment!!! The Pizza looked like it was left over from lunch and re heated. The Pizza was cold!!!

I am updating my review to a solid 3 stars after speaking to upper management. They reached out and confirmed they did, in fact, not change their Turkey. Woo hoo!! They had a temporary supply issue that was solved in the wrong manner, but going forward you can expect their original Turkey :-) Great news,because I was really bummed to think we had lost a good restaurant here in San Marcos. read more
