Love the sausage breakfast sandwich. Real fast service and most seem friendly. I don't understand the counter in front where employees sit and text and talk on cell phones in between working. read more

Just when I think they can't get any better here, they somehow do! Every time we go in, which is quite often, everyone is so kind and helpful. Today, they went way beyond for us. As soon as we walked to the counter, the cashier gave us two sourdough turtles for our kids. Even when we were sitting there eating, an employee came to check on us like they always do, came back with two apple sauces for our kids. We didn't ask for them, they just brought them for us. They really go above and beyond and make us feel so welcome and special. Eveyone is so pleasant and helpful which is why we love Boudin and will keep coming back. Oh yeah, the food is great too! read more

I can say this place is aimed to please their customers. We came in today and got a calm chowder bowl and ceaser salad, and french dip. I know calm chower is fishy but it was too over powering so my husband had stopped someone who was running some food if he could exchange the bowl for another soup. Which was fine. But what I also liked was the manager stepped over also and said they will replace it with another soup and it's on its way out. Some places don't think to approach the customer with management they just fix it. So thank you! Made our visit welcoming and satisfied our needs! read more

I love Boudin and whenever I'm in SF I make sure to get a bowl of clam chowder. I am glad there is a Boudin nearby. The clam chowder bowl is a must, and I HIGHLY recommend it. The salads are great, especially the one with Apple and Walnuts. Service is fast, and they deliver your order to your table. Make sure to place your number on top of your table onto to some sort of wire. However, this particular Boudin is lacking something in their sandwiches. I ordered the Turkey and avocado sandwich. The bread was too powdery, and when I was holding the sandwich I can feel the excess flour. Anyways, I'll give another try. :) read more

Had a great lunch with my Dad and step daughter! I had a grilled cheese with tomato soup and chips and she had the chicken Caesar salad w/clam chowder in bread bowl. It was just want the Dr. ordered since I needed to cure my hangover. Can't wait to go back. read more

I wish I could resist Boudin! Vacaville has just about every "chain" restaurant. Despite all the options, I somehow always end up here. I have ordered Boudin to-go and I have eaten in the restaurant. (I love eating on their patio!) Every time I have had a positive experience with great quality food and solid customer service. The one time they forgot my bread bowl on a to-go order, they made it up to me with a free loaf of bread. Gestures like this go a long way in my book! Of course, you can't go wrong with clam chowder in a bread bowl. More recently, they have added a kale chicken caesar salad to the menu- which is also delicious. Another favorite of mine is the great grilled cheese WITH BACON (which is even better dipped in rustic tomato soup.) Have I mentioned that I love this place? Boudin is a great option in the Nut Tree area. read more

You know I would expect a Boudins next to the freeway to be super busy and impersonal . This location was on point ! The Resturant was clean the staff were super friendly and very engaging . I was able to chat with a few of the staff and they were very informative on the menu and any other topics related to the Resturant. I even had a chance to talk to the manager , what a cool guy he was. Its nice to hear when a company like Boudins puts so much into their employees. I asked about their retention rate and it was very high. Happy employees = great service and top quality food . Stop in and say hi when you're passing through. I even got directions from the manager on the quickest way to Santa Rosa !!! Boudins keep up the great work.... read more

Went here with the family. Great time. The mornings are quiet and plenty of space. Had the toast avacado and egg with a cup of decaf coffee. Everyone enjoyed it! And yes I know no pictures. I swear I was just enjoying the place! read more

Really good clam chowder after a long day shopping at Vacaville outlets. A must visit if you're a visitor at SF! The jalapeño pulled pork sandwich is a must try for hungry travelers! Parking is in a plaza and was much less crowded than at the outlet malls. read more

Boudin SF - Asian salad and boudin famous bread bowl with clam chowder :) - Bakeries Near Me - Vacaville, California

Good food, a little on the pricy side. Long line with only one cashier but 3-5 employees standing around doing other things instead of hoping on a register to help get the line down. read more

My boyfriend and I came in around 11:30 yesterday. The food was really good, their clam chowder bread bowl and bacon grilled cheese was so good. An older lady served us our food and she was so kind and so sweet really genuinely nice. The only thing I was alarmed by was the woman taking our order, she seemed like she was irritated at me for ordering. Maybe it was a bad day for her, either way we still had a good lunch. I did notice her get progressively irritated at other customers during our visit. She snapped at people for asking about fountain drinks (me included). My boyfriend and I work in customer service and it was a little surprising since all the other staff members were so welcoming and polite. I would definitely come back despite that one interaction. So if you want great food, and kind people serving your food definitely come here. Hands down the best bread bowl clam chowder I've had in a long time!! read more

Boudin SF - Great food and clam chowder - Bakeries Near Me - Vacaville, California

Stopped in for a quick bite prior to hitting the outlets. Sandwiches were hot and had a nice crunchy bite to the bread. "Salad" aka "just a little pile of lettuce" was completely underdressed and had to request a side of dressing for it. Chips were standard chips from a bag. The table clearing person (50-60ish or so female) was a bit aggressive as we both literally were in stages of bringing food up to our mouths/chewing and she stopped us for us to hand her the table number....but she couldn't be heard outside over the next tables kids so she was talking and pointing between us from the end of the table....to the other end of the table. Frankly, I felt it could have waited. It was like a paper round coaster and certainly not in danger of running away, or being thrown away on her table clearing watch. read more

So..so..SO delicious. Been here twice now and the clam chowder seems to taste better and better. Now I know that's impossible but the clam chowder is seriously AMAZING! Wish their bread bowls were served hot though but I can't complain. I mean even their whipped butter is delicious. My family and I have now tried all their burgers and I would have to say the California burger is the best! Meat is juicy and they aren't stingy with the avocado which is a win in my book. Gotta have my avocado. The service is great too. Cheerful, courteous staff. Will definitely return. P.s. Try one of their cookies. To. Die. For. read more

I remember going to Boudin's in SF whenever we would visit Pier 39/Fisherman's Wharf. It was almost a tradition to get the bread bowl of chowder when we went because that's what you do when you go to the City! Now that there is one here in Vacaville, we can get the bread bowl any time. Other places sell chowder or soup in a bread bowl but we always compared it to Boudin's! The difference is definitely the bread! Although not expensive, a bread bowl and drink will cost you around $10, you may not be as satisfied by the amount of chowder they put in the bread bowl. So be prepared to order something else or eat the entire bread bowl! The new shopping center they are in is not designed well so be ready to wait for cars as they are backing out or deliver trucks to be in your way. Overall, I like this place and would recommend it read more

Love the creamy tomato soup in a sourdough bowl. Too carby for me to do often, but taste great. read more

Awesome food! Cashier service needs to improve a bit (forgot to record 2items). Enjoyed a tasty local beer, yummy mushroom & swiss burger, bountiful Cobb salad, and topped it all off with a perfectly made clam chowder in a bread bowl. All breads are homemade and fresh. Ambience has a good feel. Price is very fair. Highly recommended! read more

Boudin SF - Perfection! - Bakeries Near Me - Vacaville, California

I have only been here twice. Every thing I had was wonderful. I have the bread bowl with clam chowder and there grilled cheese sandwich. I have had the bread bowl with their garlic tomatoe soup. They have two choices. Rustic tomatoe which is more on the traditional side. The garlic tomatoe had more of a variety of seasons. The last thing I tried was the grilled cheese and bacon. That was delicious. I enjoyed the cheese only one more. You have to try this place out. There bread is awesome. read more

One of our favorite places! Great food, friendly staff. Usually get soup in a sourdough bread bowl with half a sandwich: filling and delicious! Seating isn't the best setup, seems overcrowded and very limited elbow-room. Still, the food is worth it. read more

Received sandwich with no sauce in it at all thrown together just lettuce and tuna, will not be ordering again

Visiting from Northern VA. The calm chowder was not that great. Taste like from a can. I'm from Seattle and Pike place chowder will always be the best. My bf got the grilled cheese sandwich with bacon and it was burnt and oily. I heard great things but was sorely disappointed. read more

Went yesterday morning to get a coffee on my way to work as I always do the Management was very rude smwith me when trying to ask about rewards program and such ...I have been coming here for years and can see a turn around of new people almost weekly I can see why ....Very rude staff discriminatory behavior I believe . read more

We went out of our way from Davis to stop into Boudins as I've liked in the past. However I was quite disapointed as the hot sandwiches were barely warm the salad was remnants of clearly bagged lettuce and the tea was over steeped. Unfortunately won't be coming back here for a while read more

I love the Boudin Restaurant in San Francisco. I can't get there often so this is a great way to get my sourdough fix. The soups don't seem as fresh and I've seen the staff arguing, which kills it for me. I get that working in food service can be hard and tempers can be short, but keep that behind the scenes. read more

Excellent SF claim chowder. This chain has really good chowder. I don't think it can be beat in the state of California.

We have visited that place and clam chowder was not like usual. It supposed to be creamy and tasty but instead we've got watery separated clam chowder. We have talked to the manager she said that she checked the consistency where it cooked and all the same also she said it some times like that . We were not happy about and our conversation was over. read more

Love love Boudin's clam chowder in a bowl & the SF Jefferson St. site had wonderful fish 'n chips!

Great service. Great food. I ordered a chicken salad sandwich but didn't hit my taste buds right and wanted a different warm sandwich, expecting they would want back the current chicken sandwich I got, and they said I can keep it and keeping me up to date with the other sandwich So polite. It's rare to find great food and great service. I appreciate it! -Nathan Oetgen read more

Excellent customer service! Everyone is friendly and helpful at this location. The food is yummy too! I'm not one for chain restaurants, but I can get behind this one since the food and service are great. ***Food suggestion: butternut squash soup (Mmm!!!) read more

So, I love the chain Boudin no matter where it is. I just want to take a minute and celebrate grandma. This woman is an employee, and as far as I can tell, is a fixer. She's amazing, notices everything and steps in to help everyone. I screwed up my order, not only did she fix it, she made it better!! Thanks Grandma. read more

Amazing service! There was a mishap with our order, and the manager made sure every thing was taken care of. She and the rest of the staff were very friendly and extremely helpful! As for the food, it was great! No complaints whatsoever. The clam chowder and salads are my absolute favorite, and you defintely get a good ol' bang for your buck. You'll defintely leave with a happy tummy and a happy wallet. :] My family and I live 40 minutes away from this Boudin location, but because of the great service and, of course, wonderful food, we don't mind frequenting this Boudin location often. It's defintely worth the travel. read more

I'm not much for sandwiches and soups but I found myself at SF Boudins with a group of peers who all wanted soups. The grilled Brie and Apple sandwich was amazing! Didn't have anything else and am really glad because it would have been too much. The sandwich was perfect just the way it is... read more

I normally do the pick up online but I forgot to put it in today. So, I thought I wouldn't need to considering it's 7:30am. I walk in and a customer is in front of me ordering. It literally was taking almost 10 mins to do her order at the cashier stand. The cashier did not even acknowledge myself in line. The delivery guy even had to leave who was behind me because he couldn't wait any longer and had to leave. I also left after realizing she wasn't going to be done anytime soon which was at 7:41am. Do pick up to save time. read more

I went into Boudin to buy a loaf of bread. It was 7pm, an hour before closing and they were out of bread. How does a bread factory run out of bread? Does KFC run out of chicken? Does Cattleman's run out of steaks? Very poor management. read more

Ordered the Millionaire BLT. Won't order that again. The "caramelized bacon" was worse than jerky and was extremely spicy. The bread was even tough. This isn't the first time we have been disappointed with food there. Won't return. read more

The clam chowder consistency is watery and the clams are extra gritty/sandy. You would expect better chowder from a place that is known for their chowder bowls. The sandwiches and salads are decent though. The butternut squash and garlic tomato soups are pretty good. read more

We have probably purchased well over 50 sandwiches from Boudin's over the years....always turkey, havarti, with avocado on french roll. I often would stop at SFO on my way to visit my daughter on the East Coast and purchase 3...2 for her and one for me on the plane. Many, many stops at Boudin's at the Village in Corte Madera. Sadly, today will be our last purchase! The quality has gone from 5 stars to 1!!!! Processed turkey, unripe avocado and dead tomatoes! The size of the baguette has shrunk and it's around terrible!!! I speak for my entire family and we are sad!! An old tradition no more! read more
