You can see from the factory-line production how well loved they are by groups, but at scale that somehow makes the presentation seem more mundane. Nicer to think it was prepared just for you. They also have a fine selection of partner kitchens whose food they offer (soupchu!).

I still love their salads, although I am bummed that they replaced the pickled apricots with the…read morecheaper pickled golden raisins instead. It makes a noticeable difference in the Awake or Vibrant salads. They've also introduced new, non-salad items to their menu: -Beef Bolognese: Flavorful, great portion, good texture. -Chicken Bone Broth Soup: Tasty 16 oz portion, but I was expecting a lot more filling inside. There was very little actual chicken and vegetables in this. It was mostly broth. The items are always well wrapped for takeout, though their brown bag doesn't have handles, so you should bring your own to drop the paper bag into. Also note that they charge extra for utensils.

Today me and my wife stopped in for lunch as we have a few times before. It was a warm day in the Bay Area today and we were out walking so I wore a nice sleeveless shirt. It was nice, new and clean. The hostess asked me to cover my shoulders but I said I didn't have anything with me. She sent the manager over. The manager told me no sleeveless shirts for men are allowed in her restaurant. Mind you this is lunch. Not dinner. This is not a super fancy place. Me and my wife were both properly and nicely dressed. I politely told her that I identify as a woman. She said it didn't matter. I said so you misspoke a moment ago and male or female cannot wear sleeveless shirts? She said correct. I looked around and there was a woman behind us wearing a sleeveless shirt. Not nearly as nice as mine or dressed as nice as me. I said ok I will wait here while you turn her away too. The manager then became very rude and said she isn't going to serve me no matter what. I told her are you sure about this and she said yes and asked me to leave. How embarrassing. I have never been turned away from any establishment in my life. Is this not discremenation due to my gender? Businesses have the right to refuse service to anyone unless it is for race, gender or age. I will be contacting an attorney this week. This is not ok. This is not right and I will stand up for my rights and the rights of others.

My wife and I love this place and eat here frequently…read more Everything we've had here has been wonderful. Tonight we had the meatballs and a gluten-free Conrad. If you haven't tried their gluten-free pizza, I recommend giving it a shot. It is a "Detroit-style" crust and it is amazing (if you like that sort of thing). It's a mix of crunch and airiness. It's the closest thing to Portland's Boxcar Pizza, and IMHO is the best pizza in the Bay Area. Service is always good, and tonight Jordan took care of us and he did a fine job. It's a great place for a casual date or to bring the family. The place is clean, there's a chatty energy, and it seems a place where everyone is welcome.

CORN RIBLETS! 4.3…read more North Beach, a happy, vibrant neighborhood, sits in a hilly pocket of sunshine in San Francisco. During our weekend stay, we ventured out in search of pizza. In North Beach, aka "Little Italy," pizza spots abound. We decided to give Flour + Water a try and made reservations ahead of our visit. The restaurant was bustling, lively, and packed with patrons. We ordered: Corn Riblets ~ crema, ricotta salata, cilantro, Calabrian chili. This is corn-kernel crack! Hawaiian Pizza ~ capicola, pineapple, fresh mozzarella, pickled Fresno, chili crisp. A playful twist on the traditional pineapple pizza, with the addition of Fresno chiles, which bring a fruity, smoky flavor. I especially loved the texture of the mildly spicy chili crisp. A few things that make their pizzas special: * The dough: They use naturally leavened dough made from locally sourced organic wheat. The wild yeast and beneficial bacteria ferment for at least three days, creating a crust that is light, airy, and easier to digest. * The layering process: First, a little aged Parmesan is sprinkled over the flattened dough, followed by a layer of sauce, then the toppings and cheese. The dough was good. I could taste a little more salt in their crust compared with some other pizzerias, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It definitely enhances a pizza with lighter toppings. Service was good and efficient. As busy as they were, there wasn't much opportunity for chitchat, but everything moved along smoothly. We scored a good pizza, but even better was the discovery of the corn riblets. Those alone are worth a return visit! We'll definitely be back!

I'm obsessed with their salmon bowl and order it at least twice a week.

You order at one of the cashiers and pick up in further into the bakery. We got the sourdough bread bowl and clam chowder! The bread: Wow, it was really soft and fluffy, great sourdough flavor and I personally really loved the bread and ate the whole thing with ease. The soup: The clam chowder was solid, great flavor and and tender clams (not too chewy/overcooked). I do wish I had MORE chowder with the breadbowl, perhaps maybe I could ask if they would do a deeper scoop of bread out or even asking for the soup on the side and do the bread scoop myself? Or order more soup! But either way, it was delicious, would totally go back

It's one of those touristy places in SF, but I really think it's something you have to do while…read morevisiting. Boudin has grown so much over the years and this is still my favorite location. It's clean, spacious, and service is fast. For me, it's a perfect stop for lunch while walking down the wharf area. Of course with how big they've gotten, there's plenty of branded merch if you're looking for some souvenirs. The cons, no on-site restrooms available if you're doing café or casual dining. They direct you outside to the not so clean public restrooms. If you park behind the building, they'll validate parking for 1 hour. For food/drinks, they have a café, fast casual open-seating, and also an upstairs restaurant dining area. We opted for the fast casual for multiple visits here. Ordering is easy in person. Staff is helpful if you're not sure what to get. Other than that, they're fine, don't expect exceptional service. We tried their clam chowder, crab chowder, beef dip and also their pizza over the course of the weekend. Price is what you'd pretty much expect around the area For two of us, I think the perfect items are to share a clam chowder and a beef dip. The chowder is creamy and has a unique flavor that we enjoy. The beef dip while simple, is delicious. The bread really absorbs the au jus so it's not dry at all. You have to get the chowder in a bread bowl. While at some point, there's only so much sourdough you can eat, it's really how you should eat chowder isn't it? We'll pass on the crab chowder in the future. The flavors just didn't hit right with us. The spiciness was off and it just wasn't our favorite dish. The pizza is good, seeing more and more places do the hot honey on pizza thing nowadays. It's good and a big portion. If there were more of us, it's a nice pizza to share. Overall, this is our favorite Boudin location to visit.

Equally distributed ingredients throughout the burrito so every bite is deliciously filled. No mouthfuls of just tortilla. The sauce is a must. It gives the extra little kick you're hoping for.
