If you're from the Bay Area, the clam chowder here is nothing to write home about. The bread bowl was cold and didn't seem very fresh. This led to the clam chowder they put in the bowl to be lukewarm instead of piping hot. I guess there's not many places inland that serve clam chowder bowls so I'm not surprised that this place has such a high rating. The clam chowder itself is good, but the clams don't taste very fresh -- are they frozen? I had the turkey avocado sandwich as well. Nothing special and it could easily be made at home. I was expecting slices of avocado in it, but they just put a dab of avocado spread on the bread. I recommend skipping the bread bowl. read more

We stopped in for lunch to try this place out, we got several different Grilled cheese sandwiches one with bacon , one with bre and apples, turkey and cranberries and a couple bowls of clam chowder. read more

Our first time to any Boudin... definitely won't be our last! We were on a long drive home from a Giants game & needed to stop for dinner before it got too late. Soup & sandwiches was perfect. We were all very happy with our choices: hubby got the 1/2 Brie grilled cheese with apples and fig jam and the chili, daughter had a 1/2 classic grilled cheese with the rustic tomato soup, and I had a 1/2 turkey cranberry sandwich with the soup of the day, chicken basil bisque. It was the perfect amount of food. My daughter insisted I do a Yelp review & give them 5 stars! read more

Everything was fresh!!! Omg the chicken was so tender it felt like mashed potatoes in my mouth. Quality food is priceless and Boudin is the place to eat if your looking for fresh and healthy food. They have something for everyone from burgers, sandwiches, soups, and salads. This locations does not have pizza. But everything else is on point. read more

This is the last time I will not come back no service at all I have to wait 45 minutes and the food was not what I ordered

The service was very amazing a cashier Devonte has by far the best customer service experience and energy for being short staffed we want to thank you Devonte for making our family visit by far hands down a great time we thank you read more

From my experience: Slow, but friendly cashier Dirty tables 40 minute wait for food and, no ice in the soda machine read more

So i will start by by saying the food is excellent. Salads are fresh, sandwiches are tasty and of course the bread is out of this world. Yesterday i ordered a pizza and a caesar salad and not one of the 3-5 individuals even acknowledged me being at the pick up counter by asking anything about my order. Let me add i was the ONLY customer. So after waiting patiently for about 10 minutes I interrupted the chat session to ask how my order was coming along and apparently it was already done. Based on the free time to chat at the counter they could probably improve customer satisfaction/experience, labor costs and efficiency by not having so many folks with nothing to do but chat. --Or, better leadership that keeps team members task oriented and from "pooling" and missing customer interactions. I know now to present my self so i don't have to take home a cold pizza. read more

I'm sorry, I'm just always disappointed by this Boudins. I used to work next door to one at Stanford and really liked it. But here I am not impressed. Maybe it's mostly because we're getting delivery? My daughter got a roast beef and cheddar and their sandwich list gives no detail or options besides that on Door Dash. She thought it was gonna be warm, which it wasn't, and it had barely any meat and cheese and no other condiments. I got a tiny Caesar salad with almost no Parmesan cheese, like 3 croutons, and not enough dressing. Not worth the price to me when you can get so much more that is so much better at other places around here. I haven't gotten what I used to get (clam chowder and half tuna) so maybe I need to give that a try. read more

It's worth the trip for the sourdough bread alone, but their soups and sandwiches are excellent. You can customize just about anything on the menu. read more

I love eating at Boudin. I used to go to SF as a kid and the one consistent thing we did was eat Boudin clam chowder. Ever since they brought one to Vacaville it's a go to when I get a knack for soup & salad. They have tons of breads and sweet treats. I also love getting a nice tomato soup with some kind of grilled cheese. I highly recommend a visit to this place! read more

I paid $20 for a salad that was missing half of the toppings. I ordered a Greek salad to go, only to get home and find out that there was no feta or dressing included. I was given 4 pieces of chicken (when that costs extra). Olives were added when asked to remove. The spinach to topping ratio was way off. Maybe 90% spinach with 10% toppings. Really enjoyed the nice, dry spinach....NOT. At $20, I would expect much better quality. Very disappointed. read more

Food is very fresh and the Clam Chowder is the best I've had in a long time. The menu has a large variety of items to please everyone.

Good sandwiches! Fast service and friendly staff. Half salad and hald sandwich just the right amount.

The waiters were very helpful when my friend forgot their table number at the cash register. Lots of seating area inside as well as outside. The inside was very brightly lit and clean. It is in a good location, just across from Nut Tree and across the freeway from the Vacaville Outlets so you can stop by to eat after shopping. read more

Updating my review from one year ago. The last time we went here. So we decided to try it tonight because we thought it was a good night for soup. Now the price is $8.69 for soup. We ordered one squash soup and one broccoli and cheddar. Well we got two broccoli and cheddar AND one was half full, one was 3/4 full. I also ordered the rustic bread loaf, it tasted day old. So disappointing, husband said when he went to pick up the order employees were all just talking. How hard is it to fill the cup, and get the order correct. read more

Always great Northern California comfort food at its freshest. at clean location with ample parking. .

I love Boudins soup salad and sandwich options.

Good, fresh food. I love the combo options. The politely offer a generous military discount. We make this a regular place for lunch!!

Was waiting for my To go order and noticed when the cook would put wrapped cooked items on the counter, the older woman that works there, would unwrap, look and touch the food, wrap and put back on counter. These two employees are a foot from each other and could orally communicate about the contents. I see no reason the older woman would have to unwrap one end to see it. Nasty read more

I love the food but seems like every time I go in this place it's dirty and the service is mediocre.

The staff here is always really friendly. Download their app and earn a free french bread loaf every month! My favorite is their apple, fig, and brie grilled cheese sandwich with a cup of tomato bisque. My husband's go to is the clam chowder in a bread bowl. Always delish. Parking can get crowded which is why I took away a star. read more

Yesterday I took my mom to Boudin SF for lunch. We went around 11:30am and it was nice to be able to walk in and right up to the register. This place has been crazy busy, especially at lunch since they first opened. Being new this Boudin is nicely decorated and very clean. For me, customer service here has always been great and yesterday was no exception to that. My mom and I ordered the Turkey Avocado sandwich with salad and Clam Chowder in a bread bowl. Being my mom's first time at Boudin she enjoyed everything. She loved that the bread and turkey was really fresh. Their vinaigrette dressing on the salad was also really good. You can't go wrong with the clam chowder at Boudin; after all isn't that what they are famous for? I've also had the brie and fig sandwich which I enjoyed but was a little sweeter than expected. Yesterday we also bought a 2lb loaf of their wheat bread. My fiance like liked it a lot. This place has pretty much become one of my regular Vacaville eateries. I'm still waiting to try the French Dip Sandwich. read more

I stay away from breads. I stay as far away as I can to avoid these magical creatures called Carbs and each time I hope to find myself with my soup or salad in a bowl rather than a bread bowl. I've ordered their squash soups, rustic tomato, and occasional clam chowder and have been pleased. The last occurrence that I found myself here was one week before Christmas and I was standing in line behind two older ladies that were having difficulties reading or understanding the menu. There were two cashiers open and one cashier busy with customers. While the other cashier was just standing around flirting with another coworker. When the two ladies were able to make their minds up they went to the "flirtatious" cashier and ordered a soup and sandwich (each) and when they paid their bill one woman asked if they could have the bread in their sandwich changed. After the cashier heard the customer's question her tone of voice went from irritated to infurious because she now had to explain to these older ladies why she cannot make the changes. I was taken aback after hearing how this all went down and felt terrible for these two ladies! Customer service you guys! Please talk to your employees about customer service! read more

Boudin has invaded Vacaville. Welcome the new sandwich shop. Offering a variety of soup, sandwiches, salads and grilled cheese sandwiches. The opening day is Feb 13th. People are literally standing, sitting, pitching a tent in front of the shop. Why do you ask?!?! Because the first 100 customers receive free bread for a year!! You heard right free bread for a year. I was not about to stand/sit/sleep in the freezing cold until it hit 10am. The lady gave me a coupon for a free loaf of bread. Cool! Can't wait to try it out. Boudin is a great place to dine in or take out. I hope their vegetarian soup is v3gan. Can't wait to find out...will keep you posted! read more

A dear friend of mine and I decided to stop here for lunch, over the many options available in the area. I give this place 5 stars for multiple reasons. To begin, my friend was in need of Irish Soda Bread. Of course, they had a couple of loaves left set behind the counter. One point for Boudin! As far as ordering went, my friend and I couldn't decide if we wanted soup on their famous bread bowl, or a sandwich. So, we decided to order a bowl of soup, and the grilled cheese with bacon (I think it's called The Great). Alyssa, our cashier, was absolutely top notch. She offered options and suggestions, was super friendly, and was patient. She even put our bread bowl in the warmer to heat up until our food was ready. Alyssa's stellar service alone made this trip perfect. How could anything top that??? Well... Our food arrived. We had the tomato soup and it was split into separate bowls for us (as we had ordered a bowl to share since it was the cheaper way to go). Our bread bowl was nice and warm for us from being in the warmer, and then...the grilled cheese. HOLY SHYSTY!!!! The best tasting sandwich I have ever sunk my teeth into. Holy heck! I am not even joking. The fireworks of flavors in this sandwich had me wishing I had brought a change of undergarments. I say this seriously. It was THAT good. The soup was also fabulous, and the nice side salad was perfect that came with the sandwich. There were a few other workers roaming the seating area offering to take dirty plates and such, and ensuring we were okay. We were there during lunch time, and it wasn't too noisy, nor was the wait to receive our food an issue. All in all, this is the place! I may have to make the drive up here at least once a week to get my fix! Thank you, Alyssa, for your fabulous service! read more

Really excited to have Boudins in our neck of the woods! Came here on a Saturday for lunch. Line was out the door! Could be because they are popular and because they recently opened. They got us through the line pretty quickly. After ordering we found a seat and waited about 10 mins for them to bring out our food. I went with the salad/soup combo. The Asian salad has made my favorites list. And of course you can't go wrong with their clam chowder in a bread bowl. My daughter ordered a burger which was surprisingly really good! Surprising to me only because I've never had a burger from Boudin's. I may just order my own next time. I look forward to returning again real soon! read more

So, my friend surprised me with a nice little jaunt away from Sac a couple of weeks ago... flipped a coin, and West it was. I've been to the Boudin locs in SF, and Fair Oaks and I have to say they are all damn good, and consistent. So, I was pretty stoked to try out this newly-opened spot. Have tried many of their sands and soups, so this time I wanted to try one of their burgers. I have to say, you can't go wrong with anything off their menu; that burger was delicious. I don't know if it's due to their excellent bread, or what... but, I really wasn't expecting a great burger from this place. My inner J. Wellington Wimpy was most pleased. I really wish they would open a Boudin in downtown/midtown Sac.! A girl has to maintain her shape... in my case - ROUND! read more

Since my parents moved to Vacaville this is my go to place for Lunch! - Customer Service: Staff informative (food & specials) upon ordering, from serving your food to the table, clearing out your table when done eating, staff check up on customers if you need something (butter, order more or other request), and up keep of the restaurant is in order (I can see staff know what they are accountable for) - Food: Portion size are served well, flavorful (i.e Turkey, Asian Salad, & I Tea), fresh in taste & price seems cheaper then SF - Parking: Easy as there is a parking lot Overall this restaurant is clean, staff are positive, and food is GREAT! read more

Sorry Boudin. It was nice while it lasted and I thought you were not just another chain in town. When they opened, obviously the things were great: 5 star experience top to bottom. Couple months later there is nothing outstanding about Boudin anymore. The food is still pretty decent but I had a baguette burger here the other day with their signature bread and the bread was not very fresh at all. The staff are obviously not as enthusiastic as they were upon the opening week or two and the service is getting pretty mediocre. In this type of restaurant it probably doesn't matter really as there is no interaction (since you are ordering at the counter and they bring the food out), but they set the standard so high that it is impossible not to notice the drop. To top it all off the parking here is terrible and I don't feel like wasting time driving around just to find a parking spot. With three newly opened restaurants sharing the building and the lot (Boudin, Chipotle, Krispy Kreme), don't be surprised if you get pissed off and go eat somewhere else because parking is such a mess. All in all, Boudin is decent...but yea, it is a chain. And now it shows. read more

I have been here several times when I shop in Vacaville. While the service remains great (yes), the portions were margin. When I order soup in a bread bowl, I hope to get a hearty bowl of soup. Not the case. I do not want to fill up on sourdough bread. Please give me some soup! Tasty, yes but unfulfilled! I hope this is not a trend. read more

If you want 1 piece of mortadella and 4 pieces of salami on a so called Italian Sandwich for $12 then i recommend Boudins for their Italian Classic. This is the worst sandwich i've ever had from them. I paid $12 for bread and a couple pieces of meat when I could've gone to TOGOS and gotten a better sandwich for a cheaper price! At least at TOGOS they will give you more meat and mayo or mustard on the sandwich so it's not dry as the Sahara Desert. I am very disappointed in the proportions Boudin has to offer and will not be going to Boudins in Vacaville again. read more

Boudin SF - Tastes just like San Francisco! Love love love!!:) - Bakeries Near Me - Vacaville, California

Came here today to pick up a meal and traveled over 40 minutes. My mom and I ordered a half sandwich Brie and apple and clam chowder. We took the food togo since there is no indoor dinning due to Covid-19. When we opened the box to start eating the sandwich, a brown medium sized hair was sticking straight up from the melted Brie cheese in the sandwich. We went back inside the restaurant to notify the manager (brown hair, male with earrings) and he gave my mom the worst customer service and just dismissed her. He failed to provide excellent customer service. He did not go above a beyond to remedy the situation. He was arrogant and did not apologize for our experience with a hair in the sandwich in plain sight. All he did was hand my mom the receipt and didn't a say a word. He did refund us but didn't ask if we wanted a replacement sandwich. He walked away. To upper management: this manager needs to be retained in basic customer service. He failed us today and his rude behavior is not a reflection of your mission and business, correct? read more

Boudin is freakin UH-Mazing!!! The Clam Chowder in a Sourdough bread bowl is literally like Heaven in your mouth. Creamy chowder with great clams and soft potatoes. The bread is fresh, warm, and perfectly soft yet chewy to perfection. I got the Boudin SF combo, and chose the Clam chowder in a bread bowl ($1 extra for bread bowl) with a Half sandwich, the Italian. I recommend the Boudin combo cuz you have options to pair a soup with either a sandwich or a salad. The Italian sandwich was a small half size with ham, salami, and cheese on sourdough bread. Was okay, but not as great as the Chowder bread bowl. The place itself has plenty of parking and both indoor and outdoor seating. It was also very clean and well lit inside. Customer service was nice, friendly, and attentive cuz they checked on me and asked if I needed anything. When you first go in, make your order and if you're dining in they give you a Number. Didn't see it til I left, but make sure you place your Number on the Black holder on the middle of the table so the servers know where you are. I left Boudin completely satisfied and will definitely stop by whenever I'm in Vacaville to fulfill my Clam chowder craving! read more

SERVICE - eh..... The cashier said they ran out of clam chowder (I know, right? Imagine the sadness) and then AFTER we got our food, we saw that customers after us got clam chowder!! Dude, seriously?! FOOD - good. Got the Toasted Chicken Club & salad with balsamic vinegar - really good. And the Rustic Tomato Soup in a sourdough bowl - that was really good too. The three stars is mainly for the service. RUNNING out of something is different than being TEMPORARILY out especially if you're going to be making more. We could have waited. Also, there were a lot of workers and a loootttt of people and the tables definitely weren't being tended to fast enough for the amount of traffic. C'mon Vacaville Boudin... You have a reputation to live up to! read more

Here is what I love about the Boudin in Vacaville: 1. Awesome outdoor patio, dog friendly even! 2. Clam chowder, it's the real deal. I skip the bread bowl, but my hubby likes it. 3. Military discount. In an Air Force town, 20% is a sweet deal. And they will use all sorts of clues to determine if you warrant one. I am always grateful when they "spy" my active duty ID in my wallet, and then remind me of the discount. 4. Half price wine & beer with dinner. I don't know if this is a special, but it makes me feel that way! 5. Iced tea. Two super yummy varieties. 6. Service. Always friendly with a smile. And a discount reminder! Less great: 1. Breakfast. Have only tried the scramble, but it was somewhat thoughtlessly prepared. Maybe the sandwiches are better. 2. Parking lot. Too small and difficult to maneuver. Why would you design a tiny, awkward parking lot to accommodate a Chipotle, a Krispy Kreme and a Boudin? I am always aggravated upon entrance and egress. Summary: I am so glad Boudin bestowed its chowder upon our little town. The pros far outweigh the cons. See for yourself! read more

Boudin SF - Smells yummy. Fast service. - Bakeries Near Me - Vacaville, California

Absolutely delicious. The prices and freshness of this place put the Panera across the street to shame. I have been to a Boudin before in SF and always wished we had one close by. Finally, we do! The food was delicious, the overall atmosphere of the store were great as well. I ordered the Caesar Salad and the Clam Chowder in a bread bowl. It was great! Overall, the prices are decent and the food comes in a good quantity. Recommendations! I would definitely sign up for rewards club because you will get a free loaf of bread just for doing it! I would also recommend ordering online and picking it up because the place (being new) was packed with the line out the door! read more
