The food here is good and of course, the sourdough is the best. I rarely have found a sourdough that can top Boudin. The customer service was above and beyond the day my wife and I went. The two young men at the front went above and beyond to help us and clarify any questions we had. Highly recommend.

I don’t have any expectations for this place. But this restaurant actually impressed me. My husband and I love SF sourdough, and this is the place to go. I ordered a Cali Vegi sandwich and my husband had a broccoli & cheddar bread bowl soup and French Dip. We both loved our food, especially the bread! My husband’s soup is very nice but the French Dip was so so because the bread took over too much flavor. We also took a dinner roll back home, it was so good!

The food here is wonderful! They have a good variety of both soups, sandwiches, pizza and pastries. They have an assortment of breads foe purchase as well which is nice. The prices are fair and the service has always been friendly. My only comment for improvement would be better cleaning services in the sitting areas. Usually the booths are dirty and I've ended up on multiple occasions cleaning my own space in order to get a seat.

Amazing sandwiches and soups as well as a lot of salad options. The best bang for your buck would be the "Pick a Pair" deal for $12. This comes with two halves of any applicable item.
I normally do half a sandwich and half soup. You can upgrade the soup to a bread bowl for $1 extra.
Really filling meal and tastes great!

If I could add more stars, I would. I called 14 minutes before closing, arrived 4 minutes before closing, was treated very well while I was there, and was out only 2 minutes after closing. Very apologetic for the stock they were almost out of, even when they didn't need to be. Nicest staff I've ever seen in a restaurant, by far

I love the fresh bread!! Make sure to sign up for the rewards program, you get a free monthly bread. The grilled cheese with bacon, turkey and avocado and chicken Cesar salad are delicious. Food is always fresh. Don’t forget the peanut butter and snickerdoodle cookies!!! Delicious. Unfortunately, the customer service is below average. There are long lines with minimum cashiers and food prepares, very understaffed. Order online if possible. Portions are average.

Had lunch here on a Thursday and it was very busy (had to stand in line for 5+ minutes to order), however, an employee quickly cleared a table for us to sit and we enjoyed a delicious lunch. Photos: rustic tomato soup in a bread bowl, butternut squash soup in a bread bowl, grilled cheese sandwich with a side salad.

Got the sourdough pizza for the first time. So so good. I chose the combo. Mushrooms, pepperoni, sausage, black olives, red pepper, and onion. And they even gave me a few dollars off in lieu of my normal loyalty rewards free loaf of bread.

The clam chowder soup in a bread bowl is great. Their bread and rolls are fresh. A little busy but nothing to complain about. Fair prices. They have other dishes like sandwiches and hamburgers.
