I love this place already
Jaz'Min L.

Boxcar is a fab staple for me. It was my bro's first time going so of course I picked the location. Parking was available in the lot out front and they have a scan code at the front desk for parking. It was free for the first two hours. This spot is literally right off of the beltline and is a sight to see. The food is AMAZING. We opted for cocktails and beer, Brussels sprouts and the balsamic glaze TOP TIER. my brother doesn't eat meat and he was thrilled to see awesome choices available to him on the menu. So I got to enjoy the best of both worlds, veggies anddddd my meats lol. I ordered the shank and potatoes with veggies like zucchini and it was DELICIOUS. He's head over heels and we are going back for another friend link to boxcar soon soon! The setup is nice and quaint with a full bar and friendly staff. They have a bar right underneath the restaurant as well to partake!

Groovy warehouse district turned brewery district, right on the south side beltline. Dont worry about space, they got plenty. Next door is a food hall if you can't find a choice at boxcar. The staff is super nice and ready to help!

Came for Sunday brunch/lunch after church! Was very quick service! Had the Buffalo Mac (not pictured) as an appetizer and it was great! I thoroughly enjoyed my salad and the fried okra! All the meals were very appetizing the playlist being played was great and the ambiance was very chill and friendly would definitely be back!

Does this look like a $15 burger and $6 fries? For $21, go elsewhere.

I've eaten here twice now, which I feel is enough to review it fairly. I will be honest, I don't come here for the food, I come here for Hop City, I like trying different craft beers. I came here one Saturday afternoon, ordered a beer flight and the pretzel bites with "homemade cheese" because I was starving...uhhh yeah, not very good. They tasted like they were frozen and then defrosted. Barely any salt. Cheese was weird, just not good. Second time I came on a Saturday night. I ordered "the heatwave" burger...Beef patty pepper jack, smoked jerk bbq, roasted jalapenos, sugar-cured bacon, bibb lettuce, tomato, shaved onion, toasted potato bun, jerk sauce omitted. It was really good, for sure. But a $15 burger should come with fries. An extra $6 for fries with my burger?!?! Nah, now you're insane. Atmosphere is a good vibe. Service is great. Overpriced for the food? Forget it. I can get better food for less, elsewhere.

Boxcar is one of those places that gets it right -- almost every time. The food is consistently good, the service is friendly and attentive, and the drinks? They've got some fun, creative twists that make them stand out from your usual bar fare. One of my favorite things about Boxcar is the free parking -- a rare and beautiful thing in Atlanta. Plus, the location is a win: it's right by other great entertainment options, so it's easy to make a full night of it. Whether you're grabbing dinner, meeting friends for drinks, or just kicking back on the patio, Boxcar is always a solid choice in the West End.

Jerk BBQ Boxcar Wings
Tia R.

I took a gamble on whether tomato, cheese watermelon, and mint should be combined. I ordered it from the selections of salads and don't add any meat. Boy did that gamble pay off. The plate is crunchy, juicy, sweet, and tangy. It comes with balsamic dressing and mint. Add the mint in small bits it can be overpowering. As a side I also ordered 5 jerk BBQ wings. Not as crispy as I wanted but tasty and a good pairing. For $23 I'll get the same combo again and try another wing flavor. The exterior patio is small and looks out onto a parking lot. But in great weather a patio is always a plus. I can't speak to service from the waiters because I didn't dine in. The to go process however was easy.

Turkey Chili
Kennedi H.

One of my favorite places on the west side beltline! I don't eat beef or pork so finding a good chili is tough. But their turkey chili is delicious! Good drinks too. Large assortment of beer, wines, and cocktails. Great service for all the staff. I came here on a Thursday for a fun wine tasting & then came on game day Sunday. They had the games playing and it wasn't crowded or rowdy. Good to come with friends or come sit at the bar. 10/10

I might be a little late discovering this spot--was texting a friend about the restaurant and the area, and he let me know it's actually been here for about three years... go figure! Boxcar is located in the West End near the AUC. Just exit off Lowery Blvd, take a left, and keep going until you hit the newly paved Beltline on White Street. I was genuinely surprised by all the new development and branding in the area. After dining, I took a quick 10-minute drive around and noticed a ton of new apartments and mixed-use developments, many of them right on the Beltline or just a short walk away. This neighborhood definitely feels like it's on track to become the next Old Fourth Ward in the next 5-7 years. As for Boxcar itself--an easy 5 stars. It has a great vibe and feels like it could be the Westside's answer to New Realm. There's a spacious patio, several areas that look ideal for private events, and a solid menu of elevated bar food. Think huge chicken tenders, stacked burgers, a flavorful tequila flight, and a wide selection of beers. The service was great, and the atmosphere was relaxed but lively--definitely a place I'd recommend checking out if you're exploring the Beltline.

Guess who went out for Valentine's Day??? Yes... ME! LoL.. After a day of shopping, Carmen and I decided to grab dinner from Boxcar. As I had never been, she was excited to take me to what has become her local fav for Wine Down Wednesday and I was in for the journey. Pulling up to Boxcar, the parking area was jumping, however, there was still ample parking. Once parked, we got out and headed to the restaurant. As we wanted to do the dine-in vibe we went upstairs. Once inside we were greeted by the host and he was all smiles and amazing customer service. He asked if we had a reservation which we did not so he advised it was about a 25-minute wait. Not too bad for a peak hour VDay walk-up. Nonetheless, we opted to go downstairs to the bar area and eat there. The ambiance of Boxcar is super dope. I can see why the locals love it so much. It has this multi-purpose feel to it as there is the restaurant, the bar, and the liquor store-esque area. This is def the place to be for a moment setting dinner... Once at the bar, the bartender (female) greeted us and provided us with a menu. She was super nice and immediately was ready to take our drink order as we were prepared. You know I ordered the Sweet Tea, however, once she told me it would be a moment as she had to go upstairs to get it, I opted to just get a Ginger Ale. Taking a moment to cruise the menu I decided to get Wings as my Appetizer and the "Yellow Jacket" which is described as Fried chicken breast, hot honey mustard, crispy onion straws, bibb lettuce, tomato, and toasted potato bun as my Entreé. Babeeeeeeeee... This description had me in a chokeHOLD. LoL I placed my order and enjoyed the ambiance as I awaited its arrival. The Wings were up quickly and were ahhhhhhhmazingggggggggg. They were fried to perfection. They were a perfect size and the Whiskey BBQ Sauce has changed my entire lifeeeeeeee! When I say Finger Licking Good... I mean FINGER LICKING GOOOOODDDD.. The Wings were Wangannnnn and the Sauce was Saucinnnnnnnn!!!!! Whew. The wait for my entreé wasn't too long, however, when my order arrived, it was NOT the Yellow Jacket... I looked at the plate in disbelief as I was hungryyyyyyyyyy... At this point, the male bartender, Oscar, came over to check on us. I advised him of what I ordered vs. what was in front of me and he checked the system and had to input my order correctly and take the wrong order back. It was apparent that what I ordered wasn't what was entered into the system. As such, I had to wait another 10 minutes for my food. Though Oscar was super nice and apologized for the extended delay, the young lady who took my order said nothing. Furthermore, not only did she not say anything, but somehow she never checked on us again at all. Huge shout out to Oscar for stepping in and providing stellar service. Once the Yellow Jacket came it was truly a life-changing experience... Let's talk the Dish! a) The Fried chicken breast was fried to golden, juicy perfection. b) I don't like Honey Mustard, however, the Hot Honey Mustard at Boxcar is a game changer. I have no idea who or how they make this but hunniiiiiiii this sauce is a sauceeeeeeeee. c) The crispy onion straws took the sandwich from a 10 to a 20. LoL! I love a good crispy onion straw and these did not disappoint. d) I don't know what bibb lettuce is but it was crunchy and bombbbbbbb. e) The tomato added a juicy texture to the sandwich and blended well with the Hot Honey Mustard and Crispy Onion Straws. f) Lastly, the toasted potato bun is a stand-alone by itself and was toasted to perfection and gripped the sandwich perfectly. All I know is that I am going back for a Yellow Jacket! Ha

Fried fish plate. Mash potatoes and greens with beef spare ribs and strawberry peach cobbler
Ahmad W.

I ordered my food on 9-24-2025 through Uber Eats. I got something for dinner and breakfast. I got the fish and fries with hush puppies for dinner. I got the greens and mashed potatoes with beef short ribs for breakfast. The food tasted good.. They did a great job on cooking it. The food was delicious.. Pull up to check them out. Oh the strawberry peach cobbler is bussing!

Aisha J.

OMG! This place hands down was sooooo good! We went here on Saturday afternoon for an alumni event after a nice stroll on the Beltline. The chef did us right! I hear he is a black chef also. We had a few items off the appetizer menu which were delicious. We had the following: -Pretzel bites -Collard green cheese dip -Smoked jerk wings, whiskey bbq, buffalo and another type of wing -Chicken little sliders -Kung pao Brussels -Buffalo mac and cheese -Tomato and watermelon salad When I say everything was delicious, everything was delicious!!! My husband and I will definitely be back here again!!!!

Taste Wine Bar and Market is a self-serve wine bar that runs various specials throughout the week…read more It's located in The Works and offers free parking for 2 hours in the garage. Upon arrival, you check in and show your ID and present a credit card. You are then given a card that you use to purchase what wine you want. They have a wide variety from whites to rose to red to sweet wines. All the ones we tried were good. The prices are a bit high - about $4-5 for a small pour (my guess for red is about 2 oz), ~$9 for a medium pour, and ~$18 for a glass. It's a great concept though where you can try what you want but it can get pricey quick. They have different food options as well, including salads, sandwiches, and charcuterie boards. We went on a Friday and they had live jazz outside which was great to listen to. It's a great spot for a date night or for a small group of friends. It can get crowded so it might not be as good for larger groups.

I absolutely love the concept of sampling different options--they let you choose between a taste, a half pour, or a full pour, and the prices are really reasonable. If you fall in love with a specific wine, they have a market side where you can buy a bottle to take home. They also have a food menu if you want to grab a bite while you sip. The staff is super friendly, and the whole vibe is perfect for a girls' night, a fun date night, or just exploring new wines.

We started with a lovely cheese board for the table, which was delicious and fresh. Paired with that we of course split a bottle of wine at the recommendation of the staff - we absolutely loved the pick! For the main I had the gnocchi, which was absolutely fantastic. I was so full but managed to scrape down the whole thing because of how light the gnocchi was and how delicious the sauce was. All 3 of us agreed this is the kind of place we want to come back over and over so we can try everything! 10/10 from me! Just note, parking wise, there's a tiny tiny lot, but I street parked around the corner. This area is notoriously a little harder for parking so just give yourself some extra time!

Intimate, warmly lit, and thoughtfully designed, it invites you to settle in. The presence of books, the scale of the room, the soft energy all creates an atmosphere that feels cultivated. What stands out most is the curation. The wine list is exceptional without being overwhelming, and the option for half pours makes it especially enjoyable for a slower, more exploratory evening. It's clear that every selection has been chosen with care and a point of view. The food follows suit--refined, seasonal, and quietly confident. Nothing is overdone, yet everything feels considered and well-executed. It complements the experience rather than competing for attention. Service is knowledgeable, passionate and attentive. My waiter was incredibly knowledgebale and offered the perfect suggestions. Then, when I was ready to try a drink, the bartender noticed, came over, and suggested a half pour of champagne with the omelette I ordered. Lucian doesn't try to be everything. It knows exactly what it is and executes it at a very high level. It's a place to linger, to read, to have a glass of wine that turns into two. An experience that feels both personal and elevated.

We started with the polenta appetizer, silky and warming, the kind of simple dish that becomes memorable when it's done with real finesse. The black grouper followed as the star -- perfectly cooked, delicate, and rich without ever feeling heavy. Paired with the seasonal salad, bright and crisp, it created a beautiful balance of depth and freshness. The 2021 Tempranillo from Rioja, Spain was a standout. Smooth, structured, and aromatic, it elevated every dish without overpowering them -- one of those bottles you immediately want to remember. Dessert was the lemon tart, light, fragrant, and absolutely divine. A perfect finish. And because it's Lucian, we didn't leave without wandering the shelves -- and ended up purchasing The Silk Roads by Anna Ansari, the perfect companion to an already thoughtful evening. A refined, welcoming space that feeds you in every sense. We'd return without hesitation.

We had a reservation for dinner and the young lady who initially met us, did not even ask us this. She greeted us with, "we have an event going on, so seating is tight." OK - Well I have reservation. That seemed to help her find us a table. When she sat us, she handed us one menu for my wife and I. No wine list, (at a wine market) and no introduction. After 5-6 minutes, our server came out and said hello, but did not bring water or the wine list still. But, she did inform us again about the event going on. WE know restaurants are busy on weekends and even more so in the holiday season, but the constant reminders of "The event" does two things, one the servers are creating an excuse to say, you are going to receive slow service, and two, it felt like, how dare we show up during an event night. Finally on our servers 2nd visit, we were able to receive a second menu and the wine list. We ordered the 6 piece charcuterie and two glasses of wine. The server who made the charcuterie board, was very pleasant and proud of her creation, and rightfully so, the board was beautiful and delicious. We enjoyed our wine choice and decided to buy a bottle, our server, had zero wine experience. She did not present the bottle to me, (I have the wrong bottles brought out on a few occasions, and this is just a common courtesy) she uncorked the bottle, did not present the cork, she poured from the bottle into glasses that already had wine, granted we ordered the same wine, but at a wine market with a big event, maybe two new glasses should have been brought out, just in case. Then after she poured our glasses, she DROPPED the cork on the floor, picks it up and sticks in our bottle. Do your servers do that with silverware? Then she began to walk away with our bottle, I asked her to please leave the bottle on the table. She was seemed like that was an odd request. Overall, if we could give half stars, I would say 3.5 for the review, it was saved by your charcuterie server, as well as the taste and quality of the meats and cheeses, as well as the wonderful selection of wines. We will be back and hopefully, you take these comments constructively, and have your servers trained up a little more to be assets to your establishment.

The perfectly tender octopus came with a side of beans that I wished to ask for the recipe for because they were seasoned so nicely! The calamari was breaded lightly which allowed the natural flavors to shine. The beef empanadas were juicy and crisp. The asparagus was cooked to perfection. The vegetable paella was also filling and wonderful! We ended our meal with the toffee butter cake which was an absolute dream. We look forward to coming back for more!
