Boudin SF

We had a wonderful experience at Boudin, thanks to Ivin’s exceptional service! He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made our visit feel truly special. What stood out the most was how he took the time to educate us on how their famous sourdough bread is made. His explanations were engaging, informative, and added a fun, personal touch to our meal. Thank you for the yummy sourdough bread!!

Bathroom was not clean. Bread did not taste like iconic Boudin, just plain sourdough.

As a german I have to say that they have very good bread! I really enjoyed the ceasar salad as well ⭐️

Waited 45 minutes for my to go order, finally got it and it was missing a bunch of items. My salad that I paid extra meat for had almost no meat. Really skimped on the portions. Called the store and they only wanted to refund me for the missing items and then give me a meal when I come in next time. Sorry but there won’t be a next time. I’ll go to boudins in SF before I go here again.

Right there on the frontage road was Boudin, so I whipped it on in to check it out.. I wasn't much for a clam chowder in a bread bowl, so opted for a quick sandwich, and only because those Hansen twins were in there eating salads talking about the good old days at Salvador Elementary school...boy that brought back memories! And, when I left alI I could think about were the 2 sandos I had...they were Amazing! ☆☆☆☆☆

The Tuna melt was really delicious. The crusted heese on the sourdough was a great addition. My wife loved the Italian Chop Salad, and the feedback from here was fantastic. The sourdogh was worth the drive. Added to the original as wife just made sourdough french toast with fresh blueberry compote. She used the soughrdogh bowl and made large slices. Fantastc. I can't wait to get back to San Fransisco to get more.

After a terrible experience about a month ago we decided to try again last night for dinner. The man behind the counter was on the phone for at least 15 minutes ignoring us. I was trying to ask a question and he snapped at me that he was on the phone. Soooooo rude. I went ahead and placed our order on the kiosk. I also bought a loaf of your Sweet Cinnamon Delight bread. We've had it before and it was delicious. This loaf was so stale and dry we can't eat it. I don't even want to try and bring it back after dealing with such rude counter employees. I don't think we'll ever go back. Was always our go to for an easy meal. So disappointed.

Nice atmosphere, kind of like Panera but a bit better. Food was good, generous portion on the salad but a bit expensive. I thought the clam chowder was not the best I’ve had, but the bread was great.

Went in to order a clam chowder bowl, the staff were nice and efficient. They have a nice dining area and you can sit outside. I usually get my food to go and use their mobile app. Their Sandwiches and melts are pretty good, they have a good selection. But I like their soups in a bread bowl. If you like soup in a sourdough bread bowl, I do recommend Boudin SF in Corte Madera. It is located in an outdoor mall where you can go shopping too.

Service is always quick when you come in. My order was taken quickly and efficiently. As everything is prepared, there is a bit of a wait. The employees are very helpful and tables are cleaned immediately. Today I have half a grilled cheese sandwich with a side of soup. Ambiance on a Saturday afternoon is bright and clean dining room'

It's between fast food & sit down. The ordering machine takes time to figure out & the food is assembled after you order it like a sit down place. Because you're dealing with a machine, tipping is actually no guilt optional.

We were hitting the shops hard and the crew was getting hangry. A quick stop at Boudin fit the bill. Joint was clean and staff were friendly. After about ten minutes my fries came up and they were surprisingly good, fresh, hot and crispy with just the right amount of salt and seasoning. Shopping day saved!

$20 sandwich with close to no meat. First and last time I'll be popping in. So many better options in Marin. Workers were polite. Service was good. But that's not really why you order pickup.

On a Saturday evening in mid May, my family and I had diner there. It's located next to Cheesecake Factory. No greeting, We ordered at the tablet. The half sandwich -chicken pesto and clam chowder bread soup of extra $1.00 for bread bowl 13.99. We were waiting on food and slow. The soup was thick and delicious and chicken pesto was good too. Plenty of tables and looked clean. Plenty of parking outside.

Haven't been here in many moons but stopped in for an early lunch on Saturday. Beat the lunch rush and all inside tables were full by 1:30 when we left. They've added to their menu since my last visit and now offer French fries! I tried the crispy chicken Parmesan grilled sandwich, a new offering, with French fries, and my lunch was delicious. Will definitely be back.

The service is very slow. First, we have been waiting here for over 30 minutes and we just ordered a clam chowder and Mac and cheese. Then, we see so many plates of food and nobody is serving the food.

I am a regular here. In the colder months, I crave the tuna melt with tomato soup, and in warmer months I enjoy all of the salads particularly the Cobb salad. The rewards program can't be beat (free sourdough loaf with purchase every month) and the staff are so generous. Today they ran out of tomato soup and gave me a complimentary sourdough loaf and salad, in addition to my replacement choice of butternut squash soup!

I just wanted to give an update. The management team reached out to me and was very helpful and responsive to my review. They were very apologetic and accommodating for my off experience at Boudin. I feel Heard and seen. Thank you for the great customer service follow up.

We came in on Sunday morning hoping for fresh pastries. You would think it's just 15 minutes after opening - everything would be fresh and still warm. It was cold, dry, and hard as rock croissants. They do not make it fresh... maybe from a few days ago!

We had another bad experience a few weeks ago with no one to help take our order and long wait for food to be served. Decided to give it another chance last Friday. Guy at counter was on the phone for at least 15 to 20 minutes and wouldn't answer any questions. Was extremely rude and nasty. No one else to help. Unbelievable. And out order took forever to be served. I also bought a loaf of your cinnamon delight bread. It was old and stale. Can't believe they would leave those out for people to buy. Just another terrible experience. What's going on with your restaurant and employees.

Ordered with a group of 5 and everyone's food brought out at different times.(5-10 min apart). The last person got their food after 45 min.

I always try to give this place a chance because it's out of the way and easy parking, but yet everytime I go I'm reminded as to why I shouldn't waste my money here. They don't mark what's unavailable so they are charging out customers for items they don't have in stock. I just waited for my food for 10 minutes only for them to come back and let me know they did not have what I purchased...

I was waiting for my to go order for over 30 minutes and i only ordered 3 items , they forgot to even include an item, AND they still charged me for the item they didn't include. And on top of ALL that i was late to a VERY important event because of this whole situation.

Boy, this was just bad food! Went in for lunch on a busy Monday. Put in our order and found a table. The wait wasn't too bad but when the food came, my pesto chicken sandwich bread was so hard I almost broke a tooth! It came with lukewarm clam chowder. I returned both and the next time the bread was edible, but there was just the minimum amount of chicken and no pesto. The potatoes in the chowder were mush. Maybe they should stick to making bread.

I have to recognize that everyone was out shopping and the mall was crowded as was the restruant. It took 23 minutes for our burger and salad and an additional 7 minutes after that for our milkshakes to come. The kitchen and support staff were working hard. They did their best to keep the tables clean. My father liked his burger. He remembers when he worked for the boudin bakery in San Franciso briefly as a young man. He kept telling me how Boudin used a special mother for its sourdough. My salad was disappointing. I had an Asian Chicken salad. The cucumbers were bad. They looked like they had been frozen, all watery and translucent. The chicken was sliced paper thin. There wasn't much of it. There was a lot of mixed greens and a good handful of red bell pepper. The salad was very dry. There was a little dressing at the bottom of the bowl. I cannot recommend this salad. I hope the staff is recognized and rewarded for their hard work.

When you're at an upscale outdoor shopping mall in Marin County, you expect to get a lot of great eateries. However, choices at the Village at Corte Madera. You have full on sit-down places such as "Cheesecake Factory" "Bazille" (inside Nordstrom) and the fancy "RH Rooftop Restaurant". Other than that, there's not much to choose from. This is where "Boudin SF" comes in as I prefer a place where I order it at the register and they bring your food out to you. To those that know this shopping center well, Boudin has been here for a long time, actually dating back to the late-1990's. Their previous location was at a different site in the same part of the center but their current location is a much larger area with an abundance of indoor seating. Since I was hungry, I decided to come here for lunch on the afternoon of Saturday 10/7/2023 at around 1:15pm. As expected, it was busy but I was helped fairly quickly. I ended up ordering their 'Chicken Pesto Sandwich"; this consisted of all natural chicken breast, tomatoes, arugula, balsamic vinaigrette, and pesto mayo on a sourdough baguette. I paired this up with a crisp green salad and a medium fountain drink. After paying (which was around $18), I was handed a number and my sandwich/salad was brought to my table in less than 10 minutes. The sandwich itself is definitely above average but the real winner here is that chewy sourdough bread. It was heavenly and absolutely raised the bar on this while the pieces of chicken and other fillings were just average to me. I think if you want to keep in safe, definitely get a sandwich or even better, their sourdough bread bowl (which includes yummy clam chowder). I do remember when Boudin used to be a much smaller company. But having expanded over the past couple decades, the sourdough novelty wore off. However, my meal was good while prices were decent and service was above average. My rating for the Corte Madera "Boudin SF"; an above average four stars.

We stopped in for a quick bite. The food is served cafeteria style, order at the counter, then the food is brought to your table. Crab was special on the menu, so we got the crab melt. It came with a choice of salad or a bag of kettle chips. That came out quickly, however we had to ask for our loaf of bread that we ordered at the same time. Outside seating is available.

Customer service is as sour as their bread. I wanted to get just a couple of soups to go. No bread. Well unless I asked if the priced was the same I wouldn't know. Soup was ok.

We went in and ordered the food on our phone. We didn't get our order for over 1 hour and good thing we checked because we were missing 3 items. Worst service and I will never go back

I thought things would've changed, but I showed up again after not coming here for about a year and employees are still eating breakfast and just staring at me as I wait in the morning for someone to get up and help me. Finally a younger kid got up from his food to take my order. I guess they just don't care about their customers!

I ordered food. To go at 2:16 pm. It's 2:33 pm just got food. Unacceptable. Hire more help

I have to say that Karen is an amazing employee! She is so nice and SO customer service oriented... I come here all the time for my employer and when she is working, I don't have to worry about my order being wrong or being dismissed (like you often encounter these days). I hope you keep good employees like her!

A favorite Boudin location is Corte Madera. ~Love Sourdough! Always delicious soups and sandwiches and the best cheesy garlic bread around. The tuna melt is good and my son loves the milkshakes and the little sourdough turtles that come with the kids meals. The cookies are also very good.

It aight. Their DoorDash menu is about as confusing as a polar bear taking a beach vacation but it's never bad. Except the pizza. The pizza is bad. But it's a sandwich place so tbf the pizza doesn't have to be excellent. Service is unmemorable which is fine. It's all fine idk.

Amazing sandwiches, just as I remember them. The turkey havarti and the classic italian, both on sourdough baguettes, make the trip to the Bay worth it! While there, also grabbed some canned clam chowder for later and some sourdough bread to bring home as gifts. Service was friendly and efficient. Food came out fast. The seating areas, both inside and out, were clean and appealing with plenty of natural light and comfortable seating. And, they have the best sourdough in the world!

I ordered a French dip to go. After waiting 25 minutes, I got a sandwich with one slice of meat, they probably didn't expect me to come back since it was in a to go box. After coming back, I waited another 10 minutes for them to add more meat on it. Total waste of time.

Haven't had boudin in a minute. This time around has the classic clam chowder in a bread bowl which was so good. A little too many potatoes for my liking but still a classic. Their sourdough, as usual, nailed it. I really like their chocolate sourdough which I didn't see at this location but the sf location always has.

It's an okay place to get a sandwich. For what I ordered, it was quicker to use the self-service pad than wait for the unatintive staff.

Located inside the mall complex. No wait. Clam chowder bread soup: Flavors were fine, but nothing special. Impossible burger: Impossible meat was solid and cooked well. Classic French dip sandwich: Pretty sad and disappointing. The meat was dry and lacked much flavor. Wouldn't get again. Overall, I think if I thought of Boudin more in the Panera/Corner Bakery category, I would have been less disappointing. The quality has dipped a bit since they've expanded to multiple locations.

Boudin is a nice place to get a quick and easy lunch at the mall. The chicken salad sandwich was pretty good. The side tomato soup was also really good. However, they forgot to give me free side of chips that was supposed to come with the sandwich. The tables outside could have been cleaned more frequently. They are not the cleanest to be eating on.

I'm writing this in hopes that corporate Boudin takes a look at the quality of their food and really makes some improvements. The clam chowder was really off tasting and fishy. The bread wasn't that great. The sandwiches are mediocre. The pizza is really the worst thing on the menu. The cheese is not melted and the toppings are just terrible. The only thing that I can say is pretty great are the fountain drinks. How sad is that? Please accept the hard feedback and make some improvements.

You've earned your 5th star with your killer BLT. Boudin took something simple and classic, and made it even better. The seasonings are perfectly balanced - sweet, spicy, salty...the right amount of flavor and kick to heighten an already wonderful type of sandwich. Shout-out to my homegirl for introducing me to this sandwich. I don't usually order it when I'm out because most places can't seem to get the bacon just the way I like it: soft. Boudin aced it so much so that I went back the next day. I literally just finished the sandwich and am now wondering why I didn't order a second. Oh right...it's because I stopped eating bacon...until now. The only aspect that I would change is a lighter toast on the bread, but that didn't stop me from devouring the sandwich. The tissues of my mouth are all cut up from top to bottom, but it was so WORTH IT. I realized that I am writing an entire review about one item, but it's really that good! Or maybe I just really miss bacon...either way, you got me hooked Boudin! Also, bonus points for still giving your loyal rewards members free bread loaves! I know what sandwiches I'll be making with mine

Always a reliable go-to. You just can't beat their sourdough. We usually get takeout, but the indoor and outdoor dining areas are ok.

The service was good, the cashier was very polite and patient taking my order. I ordered the open face crab melt with salad. The Salad was okay , just thrown together. The crab melt was messy and very salty. I spoke with cashier and I traded sandwiches for cheese toast. Well when they finally brought it out it was luke warm. The staff were nice though.

Ordered Mac and cheese which took 20 minutes to get. The Mac and cheese was cold so we asked them to heat it up. They brought the dish back 15 min later still completely cold in a different bowl. We didn't want to wait again so we left hungry.

Very prompt service, the food was well prepared and delivered quickly. A staff person checked in with me to assure that I was satisfied. Lunch was delicious and filling. Clean Bathrooms, nice vibe. Overall, a great road-trip lunch stop. Conveniently located off the freeway.

Years ago I was a cyclist and a group of us would stop off at the Boudin in Tiburon and order sandwiches. Without fail I would always get the Turkey Cranberry. The other day I was in Corte Madera and just lit up when I looked at the Boudin. On my way back to my car I just had to go in and place an order. When I saw the Turkey Cranberry Sandwich was still in the menu, I laughed and decided to order. There were quite a few people ahead of me at the counter, so when I saw an ordering kiosk I decided to give it a try. Ordering was super simple and I don't think I waited more than 10 minutes for my sandwich. I had to take it to go as I was in a hurry. When I got to my car and opened it up, I was more than pleased. The sandwich looked exactly the same. The bread was flavorful, great texture. The Turkey was juicy and paired perfectly with the tart cranberry and crunchy fresh lettuce. It was exactly as I remembered. It came with a side salad which was okay. The dressing was way too sweet, but I normally don't use any so that's just me. I'm happy I stopped in, just a great experience.

Very popular place to eat at Fisherman's Wharf. Food is very expensive but is to be expected in a tourist area. I wouldn't normally eat here except that we were hosting family from out of state. I like all the outdoor seating. It's great on nice days. Food is good but nothing over the top. Clam chowder in a bread bowl is a must.

I feel bad because these workers are overworked but this place needs to hire more people, it should not take me 20 mins for a salad. But again I hope they hire more people to help out. This isn't the team's fault that they seem understaffed.

Yes and again yes! The clam chowder is San Francisco. The sourdough bread omg they have old ingredient that they add to every batch to make sure it's sour fresh and good! Take the kids the kids menu is on point the pizza nice size and delicious. They get a cookie and drink plus bread! Good pick

We went to Corte Madera to shop me and my mom she got a little hungry. She requested to go to boden she loves their chili with the bread bowl when it came out it was super dry. It didn't even taste like chili. I mentioned it to the manager she says because of the end of the night I didn't really understand what she meant. she felt so bad she offered us money back bread food to take home but the aspect of it she served us bad food will not return ever

slowest service ever and moves in slo motion do not come if u need food within 20 minutes

Finally heard from Susie R. Well, actually Arturo, a very pleasant manager at this location. I explained my experience and Arturo was very understanding and apologetic. To be fair, maybe I just didn't understand. Arturo told me to come in again and to ask for him to make things right. 5 stars for responding to my Yelp review!

Came here to get a freshly made clam chowder bowl (freshly made sourdough that morning). Cost about $13. Staff was very friendly and orders were taken and made fast. There's an option for indoor dining and outdoor dining. For indoor you now have to show proof of vaccination and photo ID. One less star because the Boudin tour didn't open until 12 noon. Pricing here is about expected for a touristy place. Their bakers displayed an alligator and turtle for me to take photos. Plus they have Boudin souvenirs for purchase as well. Will definitely come back again when I'm back in SF.

I came here as I wanted clam chowder in San Francisco. I live in LA and we have this bread company here also. The combination of the two was the best. The clam chowder had great flavor. The best part of the soup is eating in a bread bowl. This place also sells sourdough bread in shape of animals for you to purchase. I recommend this place or any of there San Francisco locations for great bread and soup

Hamburger used to be juicy, meaty and delicious. Today, mostly filler mixed with meat and hint of cardboard. Asked for sourdough roll, arrived in bun. Wife asked for cup of soup, got charged for bread bowl. Bathroom has large sign requiring employees to wash hands with soap, but soap dispenser was empty. How low it has fallen. Skip this one if you are looking for edible food.

Yes it's going to be busy, yes it's a tourist place, yes they have things you can find at the airport. Your going to have the experience and be at a Boudin. stop bashing on things like they are the best it's should be the best all the time. Remember People are human and sometimes it might hav whist been a bad day. Today was not one of those days. We ordered food with our group of 4 from the pizza out back, the counter up front and the bread side counter. We got a smorgasbord of goodness. the pulled pork sandwich was great i was happy it was a vinegar coleslaw. I enjoyed it and wanted more. then we had a margarita pizza it was good light and easy. perfect for the person who says i am not that hungry then eats all your fries! also got the dungeons crab sandwich. this was great i love and miss the taste of Dungeons crab but for those who have not experienced it, know it's a fishy taste. not bad but i know some people don't like that. We got a sourdough turtle that was gone almost prior to hitting our table. They are great as a pocket snack. Also come in bears and other cute shapes. The lines can move fast and sometimes slow remember there are language barriers and tourist who can't decide. people take your take and enjoy trust me they have a lot to look at. Price guess what you are going to pay the same almost anywhere. it's worth going to the large hub here to see it all in action. make sure you check out the window outside that shows the workers working. it's a blast and it is a free show. your also near an arcade, and other great attractions so don't come just for some amazing bread check out the area as well. There is not a trip i have been on thur SF that didn't involve a stop here. Thank you for the great service and memorable bread. Also just for those that care i live in Alaska and we have sourdough it has never tasted like it does here. the sea salt air or fog of the bay adds some kind of magic that i truly miss in my sourdough.
