Best WLM Reviews

Nice lunch/snack spot right on the water in the busiest stretch of the piers. The food selection isn't large, but they do it right. The overall atmosphere is hip and cool. So much to watch and enjoy while you munch on those Sandwiches
Our dining experience at Boudin Bistro over two consecutive nights was nothing short of a culinary delight. The restaurant's commitment to delivering delicious dishes left a lasting impression on our taste buds.
The star of our meal was undoubtedly the clam chowder served in a bread bowl—a classic choice that showcased the restaurant's dedication to quality ingredients and rich flavors. The crab entree with artichoke and spinach was a symphony of seafood excellence, demonstrating a perfect blend of textures and tastes.
The club sandwich, featuring succulent salmon and creamy avocado, was a revelation in flavor combinations. Each bite was a satisfying journey through layers of freshness and indulgence. The attention to detail in crafting this dish was evident, making it a standout on the menu.
Beyond the delectable cuisine, the ambiance and service at Boudin Bistro complemented our dining experience. The staff's attentiveness added to the overall enjoyment, creating a welcoming atmosphere that enhanced our evenings.
In conclusion, Boudin Bistro proved to be a haven for food enthusiasts seeking a diverse and satisfying menu. If you're in search of a memorable culinary adventure in a welcoming setting, this restaurant is a must-visit.
The best Sour dough bread I have ever had. Food was amazing and Coco makes an amazing old fashioned. Good relaxing atmosphere and the bakery downstairs is fantastic. Smell like heaven.
The first stop on our San Francisco trip!
It was right by our hotel at Fisherman's Wharf, so we came here for early brunch. Upstairs is the restaurant, downstairs is for quick dine-in.
Boudin is known for their sourdough bread, and everything on the menu (from pizzas to sandwiches) uses it. Of course, we ordered their clam chowder in a sourdough bread, a pepperoni pizza, and a San Francisco dungeness crab sandwich.
The clam chowder was good, especially when eaten together with the sourdough bread (also really good). But it doesn't come with a lot of soup, as the bread takes up most of the space.
The pepperoni pizza was good but slightly hard to bite.
The crab sandwich was really disappointing as there wasn't much inside, especially for the price you pay, it's not worth it!
We tried this restaurant during our time in San Francisco, and it turned out to be quite good. The onion soup, fish and chips, and burger were all amazing. The restaurant is quite large, so the service might be a bit slow. However, overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would definitely recommend it.
On our last day in SF we stopped by for a bite to eat. We sat at the bar and had a great time thanks to the great service by Colleen. She recommended an appetizer to share which was delicious. We had a few drinks and shared a sandwich. What a great way to end our getaway.
Clam chowder from here is always tasty with same consistency. We also tried crab chowder which had peculiar taste. The view from upper floor is good but if you are there just to taste clam chowder don’t go upstairs. You might end up paying extra.
The Clam Chowder in a bread bowl is just a good as I last tasted over 18 years ago. I'm glad they have maintained their quality and flavor over the years.
This particular Boudin has always been famous, located in one of San Francisco's tourist spots, the Fisherman's Wharf this place is always crowded and parking can be difficult.
They have expanded from a simple restaurant shop the last time I was here, to a restaurant and souvenir shop, thau have taken full advantage of their location
