Boxcar

Nice vibe! Located in the revitalized historical West End of ATL. The area felt like an old warehouse district converted into food and entertainment. LargeRestaurant and the hostess and service were great. Quick lunch but I am sure this spot has a nice evening vibe. Unique cocktails. Loved my key limeMargarita. Food a hair pricey for portions . Bathrooms are outside the restaurant in a shared hallway which is a little weird, but like I said the building was a converted warehouse backed up to railroad tracks.

I went here after a volunteer event and this wasn't my first time here. Upon entry, we spoke with the person who we organized our space with. But a few minutes later, the hostess came over to tell us we couldn't sit there as we didn't come to her. But fortunately the lady of the restaurant who organized our space fixed that situation quickly. The original drink I wanted was out of stock, so the waitress recommended something new. I can't remember the name of it but it was delicious. Also, I only had a side dish of fries but they were good. Parking is free there. And it is right off of the west side beltline.

I was in the area with my family and we had some time to kill before heading to the airport for a flight. I checked Yelp and there seemed to be a serious shortage of options with at least 4 stars, so there was not a lot of competition. Boxcar was the closest thing with a good reputation, which is how we ended up there. Boxcar has a nice vibe to it. I liked the hipster kind of ambiance and overall look of the place. Prices were a little steep but not totally unreasonable. I ordered a grilled cheese with bacon and a side of fries. My daughter ordered the mac and cheese side with another side of fries. My mom ordered a fish sandwich with fries on the side. Everyone was happy with the taste of their food. The fries were surprisingly good (I am a bit of a snob when it comes to restaurant fries). My mom loved her sandwich as I did mine and my daughter was instantly obsessed with the mac and cheese. Service was decent. It wasn't the best service but wasn't terrible either. The food did take a good bit to come out but that wasn't the server's fault and the place was pretty crowded at the time, so I'm sure that didn't help. Overall, I enjoyed Boxcar and would certainly return if I were in the area again, but I would not necessarily go out of my way to come back.

Bust into the West End area and hit up the Boxcar! Trendy restaurant at Hop city. Inside/outside seating with hot garage style feel. The food is on point! Delicious Livingston Burger with seasoned fries hit the spot. Paired up with the smooth flavor of the "Creature Comforts Lomo" on tap. A local american pale ale. Super accommodating staff, with fast service .

While I've been here a few times, this was not one of the better experiences I have had here. We were a party of 5 for brunch. We arrived at noon and it wasn't really busy yet, so we got seated right away. Our server came right away and got water for the table. I don't recall his name but he was pleasant. We ordered our drinks and the Buffalo Mac n cheese as an appetizer. The appetizer came to the table before the drinks arrived. There were two bartenders and maybe it was a heavy load for them, so the first round of drinks came out very slow. The Buffalo Mac n cheese was awesome! Definitely a must try! We ordered our entrees and it took quite a while for it to come out. No fault of the server and he did keep coming by to check on the table and update us on the status of the food. We did order more drinks throughout and those seemed to come out much quicker than the first round. I ordered a skillet and what I expected is not what arrived. In my mind a skillet is a skillet or bowl that is layered with the potatoes, eggs and meat of choice. I was mistaken. It was just a regular egg breakfast on a plate with the eggs, side of potatoes and side of bacon. My potatoes and the potatoes of one of my friends with me had a hair in it. I did not complain about it because I imagined it would have taken way too long to replace the potatoes. My husband did get fries with his meal and I ate off of his fries to satisfy my potato craving. I have been here before and everything was amazing and everyone has bad days, so I will be back again to give them another try! Maybe I just won't order the potatoes.

I'm a fan. I have never had anything here that was not good. I may not have cared for the preparation but I don't think I have ever had anything overcooked, undercooked, etc. They have decent sized menu that should satisfy a variety of cravings. I like the vagabond Sandwich, the turkey sandwich, the wings and the Cobb salad. Hubby likes the burgers, grilled cheese, turkey chili. Most of what we have tried over the years we enjoyed and again- if we didn't it just wasn't to our liking. Service is always good. Busy enough to people watch but not a crazy wait. Indoor and outdoor seating. Spacious. Decent lighting. Private lot parking. Access to walk the Beltline to walk off calories when you finish. What's not to like???! Go! I wish the sandwiches came with a side but it keeps you from eating more than you should I guess. I actually don't like their regular fries and I'm not willing to pay 6.00 for sweet potato fries BUT the last time I did the serving was huge so worth sharing.... I digress. Just go. And bring someone to split the side dishes.

Came in for a quick bite. Got some LP wings and the Peach Me Down cocktail. Loved both!

Great, fast service & good food! A little pricey on things if you ask me. It's usually a clean spot & the food & service can be a hit or a miss. It's still a good place to checkout if you've never been, especially since there's so much to do in that area.

It's gotten better! I've updated my review from 3 stars to 4. It's been a while since I last dined here but my most recent experience has been a pleasant surprise. Some of the items we ordered this time around: kung pao brussel sprouts, Buffalo Mac and Cheese, The GOAT, Fish and Chips. They were actually all really good; my personal favorite was the brussel sprouts. Definitely give it a go if you like brussel sprouts! Service was fine/normal, and ambiance is inviting. I will revisit for sure!

Finished here after a run. They had a nice selection of sours which worked. Only one stout though, maybe they'll have more next time. Enjoyed the brussel sprouts app & pretzel bites. Had a big selection of beer to go and non-alcoholic options too.The bartender was on top of the their game. She knew the menu and handled our group well.
