The somewhat retro diner interior reminded me of Joe Fortes in Vancouver. It was bright, clean, and way bigger than the front suggested -- an upper dining room opened when necessary, and even a few seats downstairs where the guts of the operation and the bathrooms were located. Clam Chowder with Sourdough Bowl ($6.89) I was recommended to dine at Boudin during my 2015-April trip to San Francisco , but no one told me the Clam Chowder is over $8 at Boudin wharf locations. Don't be daunted by lineups as some are just there for takeout and the restaurant is extensive, with an upstairs dining area they don't immediately open earlier in the afternoon. At $6.89, this is a super-awesome deal, considering the amount of food you get versus breakfast items at many restaurants priced at around $10. Just the sourdough bowl alone, without the clam chowder, is a hefty amount of carbs that qualifies as a medium to heavy lunch. Truly one of the cheaper yet very filling and tasty meal...
