I would give this place 5 stars. First, I started coming here 2 years ago and just recently came back 2 weeks ago. I love the clam chowder and crispy caesar chicken and avocado salad combo and it comes with a piece of sourdough bread with butter. They don't skimp on their clams I. The clam chowder and the sourdough bread is not hard to bite into since I had braces and I watch the toughness of my food. The salad is also incredible and they give you plenty. They also give you so much salad that you can take some home for later. I also had the açaí and blue berry water which is perfect with my meals. Second, price is affordable and there is plenty of seating inside and outside perfect for casual and laid back dining. Last, staff are friendly and the only thing I might add is that they just need to clean their tables for the next customer but being so busy in the mall I totally understand otherwise everything is delicious. I recently took my friend to have lunch and she also loved her meal. read more

I hadn't gotten the Multigrain Oval (2 lb, $7.99) for a while, so I decided to pick one up again. There was one employee ringing up customers ahead of me, and the two parties before me ordered food. When it was my turn, I told the cashier what I wanted, and he asked if I wanted the bread sliced. When I said yes, he got paper ready to slice the bread. I reminded him if he could change his gloves, and he said yes. I'm not sure why in the service industry some employees aren't more mindful that after using the register and then handling food, gloves should be changed. Too often it feels like the customer has to remind employees. I've noticed this at many places where one employee is multitasking between the register and food handling. I hope Boudin management reminds employees to be mindful that when multitasking, they need to change gloves for food safety. read more

At Boudin SF in Stonestown Mall, every visit feels like coming home to the scent of fresh-baked comfort. The staff? Always a smile, always a kind word--like they've been saving a little sunshine just for you. And the sourdough... oh, the sourdough--golden-crusted and tangy, my all-time favorite in the whole wide world. This time, I shared it all with the love of my life-- a Turkey Avocado, fresh, hearty, and full of flavor, and a Tuna Melt so warm and melty it felt like a cozy hug in sandwich form. Every bite, a little reminder of why this place is a treasure. Boudin SF, you never disappoint--see you again soon. read more

Gee, it's either a long wait for your food, or a long wait in line because they put a slow newbie at the cash register. They haven't learned to provide help to the cashier for tasks like cutting the bread. And worse, they let the line grow before even considering helping by opening another cashier. And the food wait is ridiculous. read more

Wow, that clam chowder And the bread were the stars of the show. The bread was scrumptious with all the textures you want - a solid shell on the outside with soft, fresh fluffiness on the inside. It was baked to perfection. The clam chowder harkens back to the East coast clam chowder as well! The short rib melt was super cheesy and super good too! There was enough short rib - just the right proportions. This location was very busy and packed with people. Everyone working there was super nice, so I appreciate that despite how busy they were. It has been very popular. I can see that the prices are lower on average too - not bad. And you can get the classic, traditional SF treat right here at Stonestown. It did feel a bit cramped, as when considering how busy it got. read more

This Cobb Salad is so good. I don't do bacon, but the fried beets on top are so good I want a pound of them. I recently got hit by a Muni bus & have a broken arm, & the employee, even before he knew that, was going out of his way, to be super helpful. Robbie is so friendly & hospitable! He deserves a raise! I love this place. The Cobb Salad & I think all their salads are 14.99. Merry Christmas! read more

Came here on a weekend half an hour after it opened and was looking forward to some clam chowder and a sandwich for lunch. To my great disappointment, they didn't have clam chowder ready and was told it won't be ready for another hour. How can Boudin not have clam chowder ready half an hour after it opens? I have no idea. Anyways, settled for a couple of sandwiches and hopefully it will deliver. Sadly, the sourdough bread was overly toast and crunchy. Did they use day old bread or what? Should have just walked away when they didn't have clam chowder and get the sandwich upstairs at Ike's instead. Boudin, do better. read more

Had the half sandwich and soup combo, it hit the spot. I didn't have to wait long and there was plenty of seating inside and outside.

It's been a long time since I ate at Boudin, and their sourdough bread still remains top tier! For 2 people, we shared the French Dip Deluxe sandwich and the Clam Chowder soup in a bread bowl. The French dip sandwich was delicious!! It was cheesy since it included provolone cheese and the au jus for dipping was so good! I wished it had more meat in the sandwich. Their clam chowder is pretty standard, you can't go wrong with it. The chowder pairs well with their fresh sourdough bread. This Boudin is located in the mall, so it has good amount of seating to dine in. You can order your food on their kiosks and pick up a number to dine-in. This is a casual spot to grab some lunch or get some delicious sourdough bread. read more

Had an issue today with my soup and my sons. He had broccoli cheese in a bread bowl and I had the butternut squash in a bread bowl. See my pic. This is what I received. I did not eat any of it; just moved it with my spoon. I took it back up asked why the bowl wasn't even half full. She was kind of rude and said the soup is thick. I said that has nothing to do with the amount in the bowl. She said it's two scoops and all I should get. My sons had just slightly a little more. Very disappointing. We eat there all the time or it would have been one star for today. Mainly the young employees response was unacceptable. I've never seen a bread bowl served almost empty. read more

Both touchscreen kiosks were not working when I came by for lunch with my group. The wait to order was a bit long because there was only 1 cashier working at the time. The food came out pretty quickly. They give you a number with a stand, and bring the food to your table if you order dine-in. We ordered the sausage and pepperoni pizza, broccoli cheddar soup with bread bowl, chicken caesar wrap, chicken pesto sandwich and clam chowder soup. Price was ok. Portions were medium, on the larger side of medium. Everything was tasty! I liked the convenient location within a mall because we could shop or have an activity planned at the escape room, and then grab a meal at the same place. I would definitely eat here again! read more

As much as I'd like to write a positive review Boudin makes it difficult to. The loyalty program has been revised. You can only get a free one pound sourdough loaf with purchase. I fully endorse that change. It became effective June 1, 2024. Today 6/9/24 I redeemed my birthday cookie. Also wanted to take advantage of the milkshake which was $2 off. The change - you're entitled to a free loaf every 30 days from your last transaction. For me that was May 20th. That means I've got to wait til June 20th. Don't get me wrong. You can tell we come here often from the # of my Yelp check ins. Now I'm not sure if I'll make a point. Sure we were coming for the free loaf but we were also purchasing food most times. Plus hubby waited over 10 minutes for the shake. He decided to cancel the order and got a refund. Why promote something and then have a customer wait, wait, wait... read more

I tried calling several boudins. No one answered their phones. I want to purchase 12 clam chowder can soup. Out of state family request for them. Shipping fee was over $100. I took a chance and hope they had it at the Stonestown store. The guy at counter said we just got the shipment in today. Lucky me. Brought a luggage to smoothly carry them to the car. Busy store but organized and helpful staff. Clean with plenty seating inside. read more

I had another review on Boudin located in O'farrel St. After the good first impression of the food, I decided to try Boudin again and this time it was at Stonestown. I'd rate 3.7/5. Environment: I ordered to go on the machine, but I stood inside the place to wait. Ground was a bit sticky but that's probably cause I stood near the soda fountains. It looked like there was a lot of ppl inside though, so pretty busy. Food: Half Italiano + Clam Chowder I got the same sandwich since I remembered that it tasted good and also the soup that my friend had gotten instead of salad like last time. Wait took around 10-15 minutes. First, I was just surprised the sandwich was different lol, though I saw that most other sandwiches (acc to the images) were cut like this, my first Italiano was cut like a PB&J (triangle). I didn't mind but just a notice/ comment. I then saw that there was a lot of meat, and I think double cheese, which was way more than my first one at Ofarrel. Normally more portions is good but I felt like the more meat overpowered the flavor overall- especially salami. Also, the mayo was stronger which contributed to the whole overpowering of flavors. The soup was steaming hot and I liked it. My dad said it was salty though. For me, I think it is a bit salty if you continuously eat it but since I sort of paused between the soup and sandwich it wasn't too noticeable. Anyways I took the soup home to eat since I felt full after the sandwich, so portion wise it's big. read more

If you want San Francsico captured in a Sandwich this is your best bet. Although its a chain quality has remained and value as well. So I said 'quality' - what does that mean? Good quality? Bad Quality? Mediocre quality? Quality really doesn't mean anything. There I schooled you. The quality was good and the value was even better than good. The service, ambiance, food and price were all good or better than good. Service was friendly. All the people working there were five stars. Very helpful and quick and hardworking. Ambiance was great too. Casual spot - no fuss - not stuffy. Get your own drink from the soda fountain kind of place. And I like that. Crab sandwich was the only thing that could get a little better attention. It for whatever reason was soggy. When I picked it up it dripped. Also a bit on the salty side - not sure if anything can be done about that - as crab meat is salty. But if any of the toppings have lots of additional salt maybe cut back a bit on them. The cheese I think was a bit too much. Overpowered the crab. Only other nitpicky thing I could say as constructive criticism would be to touch up the wood trim on the baseboards and around the restaurant. Things were clean but knicks and chips could have benefited from a little touch up color pen. It hides imprefectons and wear in wood that has been damaged. WOuld make the place look like new. I loved the pictures of the Golden Gate bridge and for such a small space it does the name boudin justice as I'm familiar with the flagship store in Fisherman's wharf. read more

I love Boudins, but they need to work on their fresh Dungeness crab menu. We came here for the Dungeness crab menu and ordered everything they had with the crab...so here goes. Crab melt: 0/5 Look at the picture of this disgustingly dry horrible melt. It was the worst crab melt I've ever had. Dry hard bread with funky crab meat that tasted like it was from a can----seriously disgusting. Crab corn chowder: 1/5 watery corn soup with no crab. We couldn't taste the crab, and for $12, it comes in a sourdough bread bowl. It had corn but needed more corn and more flavor as well. I forgot to put it in the picture, but the only saving grace was the sourdough. Crab salad: 3/5 They had better tasting crab in this, but I hate the white lettuce pieces and thought this was overpriced for what you get. We ordered a side of pepperoni bread pizza, and thank goodness their pizza is delicious. 2 stars for their overpriced, small portion, and horrible tasting new crab menu! read more

Just average quality for pricey food. If you're in stonestown, you have other options.

Yikes - Not my first time here, but probably the last lol. Me and my friend arrived around 11:30. It was his first time here, so while browsing the menu he asked a worker what their favorite sandwich was. The worker answered the Italian sandwich. Okay, cool. My friend then asks what's in the sandwich (due to dietary restrictions, he wanted to make sure it was safe for him to order!). The worker stops and stares at us, mutters "what's in the sandwich?" and then walked away. We thought he'd maybe check the ingredients but uh.. he never came back with an answer. My friend ended up trusting the worker's word and ordered the sandwich only to have to pick off two ingredients he couldn't have. I understand if it was like 8-9am and you aren't a morning person but it was nearing 12pm now, how're you gonna just ignore us? On top of that, we got hair in our soup! Lovely. read more

We had a sandwich and a clan chowder in a bread bowl. Nothing special about it - rather ordinary food in a mall setting with uncomfortable seating.

Boudin's sourdough is a San Francisco staple! Yes Boudin is a tourist stop for many, but it's also a place that makes repeat customers out of locals like me for their bread and clam chowder.

I really like this place before. But waiting 30+ minutes for clam chowder and mac and cheese is very long. Ppl who came after us got their food and finished already.

Will not be coming back. read more

Boudin Bakery in Stonestown Galleria will be your one-way ticket to healthy eating if you're unable to find restaurants or cafés that have better nutrition. Before I hit the REGAL theatre, I wanted to try Boudin before my time was up. Its food selections on its menu would never be ignored. It even had additional outdoor seating near the escalator in case indoor seating was full. Btw, its outdoor seating sure made Boudin look Frenchy, you know, black and curly steel chairs and tables. The smell of fancy, fresh meals were permeating from Boudin's indoors. Soups, salads, sandwiches, burgers, flatbread. What'll it be? Here's my pick. A big bowl of Greek Salad, a regular bowl of White Cauliflower & Cheddar, and a mini bread roll. The good thing was that all bowls, plates, and utensils were compostable. The spinach leaves in the Greek Salad kinda makes me think that Popeye has such a herculean power after consumption. Boudin finally has Mediterranean meals as a brand new option. So it's good to choose what's new here. The feta cheese and chickpea hummus bring out bold new signature flavors that take you back to Santorini. White Cauliflower and Cheddar with sharp cheddar strips was strong and hearty. And scoops from the compostable bowl were much better than a bread bowl (which was a terrible experience if you read about it). But I'm still packed with some carbs from the mini bread roll. When I think about Boudin Bakery, it's never so shabby since the food selections were fun to choose. It's important to opt for more leafy greens to balance your body than to have a more flavorful meaty meal. read more

The famous Boudin of San Francisco. This one happens to be in the convenience inside Stonestown Shopping mall and plenty of parking available. Food - 1) Clam Chowder $9 - The classic clam chowder! Creamy, tasty, and flavorful. Honestly one of the best clam chowders maybe because it reminds me of my childhood. 2) Prosciutto & Burrata Sandwich $15 - this was my first time having burrata in my sandwich and it was tasty. I like the saltiness of the flavor of the prosciutto compliments well with burrata including the balsamic glaze. Service - The staff here are probably college kids trying to earn income while in school. I do recommend they focus more on customer service though as they are chit chatting and not paying attention to their customers. I initially asked if they had clam chowder and the lady said no.. wait.. no.. and I politely asked her if she could ask the staff in the back then they said "yes there's clam chowder." Kind of left a bit of a salty taste in my mouth but Boudin's a classic nonetheless. read more

It was time for another carb-loading experience. Boudin is where I like to go to get my fix on sourdough. They have the best in town. It's my favorite type of bread. Freshly baked, and unimitable. So good with soup. I ate way too many slices tonight. Dipped it in my broccoli cheddar soup. Very yummy meal. The items run low or completely out fairly fast, especially on the busy weekends. Come in early in the day, or else face disappointment, if your go to is all gone. The customer service here is terrific and the ambiance is as well. There is plenty of seating, and the Wi-Fi inside the restaurant works pretty good. I will be back. read more

This place is underrated. I remember walking by with a friend and noting that this business has stayed here for as long as we can remember. Thought it may be a staple for an older demographic.. let me tell you I now see why... I came into the mall to grocery shop at Whole Foods, but I was already hungry. Since the days are more chilly now as soon as I walked past, a warm bowl of soup looked so inviting. Best decision I ever made! The cashier was nice and actually suggested the pick two deal since I was hungry enough for both a sandwich and soup. The value without tip for both the bread bowl (an extra dollar) with the broccoli cheddar and the Turkey avocado was under $12. Which is amazing for the prices in the Bay Area! The broccoli cheddar really hit the spot because it warmed me up on the cold day and it was great to dunk pieces of the sourdough bread. Honestly, the bread bowl was worth the extra dollar, but I felt wasteful because I wasn't sure what to do with it once I ate all of the soup. I tried picking away at it, but it was quite hard. The Turkey avocado sandwich was delicious. The avocado and lettuce in it were fresh and the turkey provided the protein that I needed. I would recommend this place for a cold day because the soup will warm you up. The value was impressive. The customer service really looked out for me. And I think I'll start coming here for a pick-me-up when I need a satisfying, simple meal. read more

Gross me out. This is rating one of the workers there. Just because they have gloves on they think they've got clean hands. I was sitting on the outside tables by Boudin having lunch and observed the Caucasian guy with glasses wearing blue plastic gloves. He comes pick up the trash around our table and then wipes the tables with a cloth. Then goes goes back to cashiering and I see him touching his nose. Next thing he'll go touch the bread and go back to cashiering. Yuk. He needs lessons in health and food cleanliness. read more

My husband and I stop by her before seeing a movie in the mall. The atmosphere was fairly standard for a mall restaurant. Clean enough. Nothing too comfy though. We both had half-and-half orders. Mine was a pastrami melt, with a cup of chili. The chili was very good. Pastrami melt was flavorful, but very very small. My husband had the clam chowder with a rib melt. He felt almost exactly the same. Although I think I enjoyed my Chili more than he enjoyed his clam chowder, overall this is a good experience. Nothing special, nothing too bad. read more

Nice thing about malls, lots of parking at least in theory, it's important to note that parking gets very full via the lots facing 19th Avenue. Boudins, its important to note that they have a very generous loyalty program so get the application, plus they make some great loaves of bread which they are happy to slice. The Stonestown Galleria location was busy but the line was not excessive, and it moved quickly. The staff was focused, polite, and they did a great job fulfilling orders. That said, my order was their BBQ Chicken Salad that came with Bread & Butter. As always the Bread was great, and the plant components of the Salad were fresh, as for the BBQ component it comes in the form of a container of BBQ Sauce, as for the Chicken it was Poached. My opinion : the Salad was okay in a pinch, but the Chicken was over Poached, could have used more seasoning, and that a container of BBQ Sauce was not sufficient to make this dish worthy of a destination visit. So it was okay, but I'd normally just stick to their breads. read more
