Service was slow had to wait to place order. Didn’t get order right had to send back. Ordered tips with peppers and onions Didn’t get any onions with peppers. Best thing I had was the salad which they charged extra for and I supposed too 2 sides and I only got baked potato. Wife’s chicken fried steak was greasy and looked liked one that came out a freezer bag. Want be back for a long time. NEED TO IMPROVE ON SERVICE AND ORDER SYSTEM.

Nice family restaurant close to I-40 at Claremont. Salad bar was a bit pricey ($12, all you can eat) but had a great variety of fixings and everything seemed very fresh. Hot dogs and fries were good as well. Every meal starts with hot bread sticks. Service was good and both the bathrooms and dining area were clean.

We had a really nice meal and the waitress was so friendly.
I had the chopped steak meal with mushroom gravy, potatoes and corn. My wife had the mushroom Swiss burger and coke slaw. My meal was very good and plentiful. My wife’s burger was so big, she had to hold it with two hands and it was hard to take a bite! The coleslaw was very tasty ( I finished it for her). I looked at the salad bar and it looked fantastic. I wish I would have gotten their chili! It really looked good!
With the flooring, I almost think it might have possibly been an actual station at one time.
I would recommend this place any time you come through the area. It will be marked as one of my favorites.
Did I mention the prices were reasonable?

On my way to Conover to show a home, I stopped in for a bite to eat around 2pm. It was right after the lunch rush. The restaurant looks like an old train depot inside and out. They have a salad bar, and there are lunch specials for each day of the week. My waitress was awesome. The food was awesome. I ordered the Tuesday special chicken pie with mash potatoes and gravy. My appetizer was the cheese moons with marinara sauce. The bread was outstanding, especially dipped into the butter. I’ll definitely be back thru here! MK

Excellent choice! Very friendly server, quick and accurate. Friendly-happy atmosphere. They brought some rolls and butter when I sat down and right away I knew I was in for a treat. How can rolls be that good? Crispy buttery mmmmm. I got fried pickles for an appetizer and while there were WAY too many they were some of the best I’ve had. And the Outlaw Burger and fried chips… Dann was that awesome. Just really good. 5 stars!

My wife and I were looking for a place to eat at after church this past Sunday. We decided to try this restaurant.
Lots of cars in the parking lot, which we took as a good sign. Upon entering inside, we had about a 15 minute wait to be seated – not bad considering the number of people in the restaurant.
Upon being seated a very capable young server waited on us. Upon looking at the menu, I wasn’t overly impressed with the number of entrees available for lunch. My wife ended up getting the salad bar and a baked potato and I got the chicken parmesan on rice.
Our meals are brought to us in a timely manner. My wife enjoyed the salad bar and her potato. My meal was okay as far as taste. I don’t think I would ever get that again though. Nothing really special about the meal. No bread was served at all.
I have been to Boxcar Restaurants before for breakfast (however, this is the first time ever at the one in Claremont, NC) and enjoyed the meals.
Not sure I’ll be back for anything else other than breakfast if I’m going to a Boxcar restaurant.

Service was great, free breadsticks with every order. Salad bar was very basic (and expensive as a standalone)
Portion sizes were very generous and the potato crisps were very very good. Somehow crunchy and soft at the same time.
Sweet tea was very good and the price is extremely reasonable.

It was a good place to stop And it was pretty full (though no wait) for a Monday afternoon. I chose it because of the salad bar, which was pretty good. I also had Brunswick stew which was good but tangy which was different from what I expected. My husband had the buffalo chicken wrap which was also good. Our waitress, Kaitlin, was friendly and brought drink refills without us asking and also asked if we wanted to go cups. It’s an easy on and off 40.

The only thing I didn’t like is that I took a gift card worth $50.00 to the restaurant and the cashier’s kept trying to scan the gift card over and over again in the to go station when the first cashier couldn’t get it to work she took the card and went to get another cashier , The cashier’s then told me it wouldn’t work I called the card and someone had used the card to play games inside the company I believe . My bill was $75.00 and 20 wings cost $33.00 . My husband and I called the cops to investigate

I stopped in here for the FIRST time. Greeted warmly & with kindness. I ordered appetizer fried mushrooms. I dont know what their batter ingredients are, but i loved them fried mushrooms. Lol. Then i ordered smothered grilled chicken but at the restaurant menu its called blue ridge rooster I think?? Side was grilled vegetables. Crunchy & seasoned well in my opinion. So yes 5 stars all the way! Thanks Boxcar Grille!
