This translates to the towns most popular watering hole as well. Their food is pretty standard bar food, but it's always cooked well and tastes great. Their Corn nuggets are one of my favorite options and their pizza's are always good. My wife always gets their fish fry of which they have several fish options and she seems to enjoy it every time. The prices for their food is also well below most of the places We've been to that are similar on the IL side. Their drinks are also priced well and they have a decent selection but don't expect to have mixologist level drinks. Fridays they offer something called double bubble which is essentially a BOGO when ordering drinks and they offer raffle tickets when ordering drinks for their Friday Meat Raffles which is always such a fun experience. They offer live music and have open mic comedians at times too. I absolutely recommend giving Boxcar a try.

Decided to check out this fantastic bar and Grill downtown Janesville on the Fourth of July. The…read moreplace was busy, but not packed. It had a typical bar vibe where you could hear people talking and chattering in the background, but wasn't too loud where you couldn't talk to your friends and guests that came with you. Our waitress was fantastic and greeted us immediately and set us up with our drinks. Our drinks were perfect as requested. I've heard people comment about the brisket burger. It looks like a food challenge as I've never seen anything so big. It was amazing though. The meat was cooked to Perfection and the taste is almost addicting. Presentation was awesome. They had some Fourth of July specials and our waitress said one of them is going to become a permanent fixture on your menu. It was a rice and chicken dish and the name slipped my mind. However, it was amazing and had amazing flavors in It. Their buffalo wings are very good with plenty of sauce with a nice flavor. Their salads are almost a meal in themselves. Presentation was beautiful. The restaurant was clean and easy access as it is on a corner. And for those of you who wanna enjoy the great outdoors when the weather is fine as it was on the Fourth of July, they do have outside seating. I took a few pictures of the food that was brought to our table so that you could make a judgment on your own. I highly recommend this place and will be back.

Honestly this is probably the best fish fry I've ever had. It was flakey and the batter was…read morefreaking phenomenal! Now the only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 - well hubby's sandwich isn't extravagant but when you ask for extra crispy bacon and it comes out floppy - ugh - but also we don't like to send food back so he ate what he could. The staff was great and the outdoor seating and the live music was awesome! We'll definitely be back.

The bar and seating areas were clean with plenty of seating, and the lake view is beautiful -- definitely a great spot to sit back and enjoy a drink. It has a relaxed, classic lake bar feel. We didn't order food from the menu this time, but they do offer food. There was also a local woman there selling homemade sourdough bread that was to die for. I took a cinnamon roll home with me and it was so fresh and delicious. Overall, a really nice stop for a drink, great service, and a great view. I'd definitely stop back again.

The put canned gravy over it. The carrots on the plate were dry, how do you dry out baby carrots. The dressing was gross no taste no seasoning dry lump of ick. The best thing was the cranberry sauce because that came out of a can. My husband ordered a hamburger and he wanted it medium well it was bloody and the waitress never came back, so he ate it. She showed up when it was almost gone. The place smells musty and the food is blah the service blah. It is cheap but not worth even spending.
