“ The bread is always good at Boudin's & my friends and I usually buy some to take home with us. deelish. On this visit, we had salads and enjoyed them very much. Mine had nice chunks of chicken, a very fresh mix of greens; and, it was not overly-dressed (which I hate & is unhealthy to boot). I also had a half sandwich, French dip, which is my fav. As usual, it was served hot, and the balance of meat, cheese and onions very good. Unfortunately, my salad took a long time to get to me. But, the ever-courteous staff made up for that by bringing a full salad rather than the 1/2 salad ordered. The only negative was the parmesan crisps (?) in it, which seemed stale. We were there after 1 PM, so the lunch crowd had thinned. It's not the restaurant's fault that some patrons lack manners - out of town jerks. To make up for that, there are ball courts right outside & it's fund to watch the amateurs whack away. And, the Ferry Building is right across the Embarcadero. It has come back from the dead with a lot of new shops. This is a reasonably-priced lunch spot with many good meal choices and the bonus of baked goods to take home. ”
“ I love Boudin. And the girl that always takes my order is super fry and accommodates my special requests very well. The bread is absolutely delicious. Pastrami is amazing. They have great sandwich, sandwiches, soup, and pastries. ”
“ The cost of food is high these dats, so I make the effort to bring lunch almost every day. $20 lunches are kind of crazy. However, once in a while, I treat myself to a sandwich here. My favorite is chicken salad with grapes on sourdough. At under $11, it's more affordable than other places. Comes w either chips or small salad. Thanks for the brief respite from bringing lunch every day. ”
“ I was visiting last week for a conference and had only one request from my daughter, "bring back some bread please." I wasn't near any and didn't have transportation in between my meetings, so ordered for delivery. My order of bread, pastry, and breakfast potatoes was good, but one of the loaves of bread I ordered was the incorrect size. I called and talked to Jackie. She offered to have me come in, but I didn't have time or transportation, or the physical ability to get there to puck it up. If I'd done another order to get it, it would have cost another 8.99 in delivery fees that I'd already paid. Jackie called me back and said she didn't have another delivery going out, but that she would drop it at my hotel at the end of her shift. I didn't expect her to personally deliver it, but I do appreciate getting the loaf I ordered. She went above and beyond to help me out. ”
“ This location isn't my Boudin's location, but since I was in the area, I decided to stop by. It's located at Four Embarcadero Center facing the Justin Hermann Plaza fountain. I was here during the lunch hour and FiDi workers were dining here. Menu was more extensive than my go-to location because in addition to the sandwiches and pizzas, they had salads and soups. They had a large inside dining area and you can eat outside in the Plaza. Today I was here to get a loaf of sweet French bread. Ordered and had it sliced and I was on my way. Good FiDi location to grab something for lunch and dine there are bring back to the office or grab some bread like me. ”
