    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

    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!

    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!!!!

The whole area actually looked like it had gotten a refresh since the last time I'd been around. There's a massive shared parking lot, and finding a spot was no problem. Once we parked, we followed the signs, walked through a courtyard, and found the entrance. Inside, a sign pointed us to the left, where we walked up to the counter and were greeted with a warm welcome. We grabbed a menu and quickly reviewed it. They don't offer flights, so we each ordered a couple of half pours. I went with a hazy and an IPA, while Wifey chose a watermelon pilsner and a lager. We placed our food order at the same counter--Wifey went with lemon pepper wings and mac and cheese. I ordered six spicy wings and a side of coleslaw. They provided an order number stand, we grabbed our beers and headed outside to a high-top table made from a barrel. The food came out surprisingly fast--they brought our trays right to the table. Everything looked great, and once we started digging in, the flavors backed it up. My wings had just the right amount of heat, and the coleslaw was a solid pairing. Wifey really enjoyed her wings too, though she said the mac and cheese could've used a little more flavor. Before leaving, we grabbed a couple more half pours. Wifey liked the watermelon pilsner so much, we ended up taking home a six-pack. It's pretty much a self-serve setup once your food arrives--you bus your own table, grab your own wet wipes and water, that kind of thing. It's a casual setup, so no big deal there. Out in the courtyard patio area, families and kids were everywhere--enjoying the "green" space, playing games and hanging out. I definitely noticed a diverse crowd--younger, older, from all backgrounds--everyone just enjoying the day. It truly felt like a space where all are welcome. Overall, it was a great first experience at this Fox Bros./Wild Heaven combo. We'll definitely be back. 4.5 Rating Instagram: @whatsthenextmemory

We arrived around 1 pm on a Saturday and had issue finding parking in their main lot. There is an overflow lot behind the building and there is signage to direct there if needed. When we arrived, we smelled something delicious coming from the on-site food truck, heard some great live music coming from inside and there were a ton of folks inside and outside just having a good ol time. Once we walked inside, there was plenty of beer on tap but I appreciated that there were frozen drinks available and with their partnership with Urban Tree, I was excited to see some of my old favorite ciders. The guy that helped me was super sweet and helpful. He made some great suggestions and I had a vodka blueberry lemonade, came back later for a water-marita which was my favorite. We order some loaded fries from their onsite food truck and the fries were amazinggggg! Huge portion, hot, and just the right amount of food. They have plenty of other stuff on the menu but the fries were good enough for the both of us. I totally forgot what drink my husband got but I do remember he enjoyed them. We had a great time just people watching, listening to music and chatting with folks. This is a good place to just come and hang for awhile for sure and we'll be back sooooooon.
