So I’m giving this a four because the ice cream is good but THE HOURS are not 24. From the person running the register “We open at noon and then I think we close at 8 but depending on how busy it is we might be open longer. We really don’t have a close time.” I asked this on a Saturday so with that in mind enjoy! I added two photos of single scoops one in cone and one in cup. The kids cup is one scoop of ice cream.

The kids cones were huge!!! Ice cream was delicious. And the price can’t be beat!

Ice cream was average. The employees were rude. On their phones when paying customers were waiting, counting tips in front of us and gossiping to each other. Someone spilled ice cream and the employees saw and immediately went back on their phones while customers were stepping in it and it was attracting bugs. Just gross. Make you customers want to be there.

If you just want ice cream, then ignore the bad reviews. The flavors are fun and tasty, portions are large (the single scoop is like a double!), and the service moves quick. Lemon bar flavor is my favorite

Turning down money, turns out to be a bad business practice. Along with 4th of July tiredness / laziness. Serving every other customer warm food? Ice cream to the rest? Your college tip jar will most certainly not be full.

Ice cream is good but the teenagers working need to work. Get off your phone’s when theres 20 people in line and stop eating icecream and food infront of customers thats not cleanly. I waited 10 minutes after ordering for 1 single cone. I didn’t get it until i spoke up. Horrible service but the ice cream tasted good.

First of all, I love this place. It’s been a tradition every time I visit Duluth. I haven’t been up since 2008 so I was very pleased to see it still up and running! I did see others with ice cream around Canal Park but only got around to stopping by on Sunday evening (7/10). It was closed. I checked the hours and according to Google, the Boxcar’s hours were 12-8. It was barely 7:30 and I could see employees still inside. Not a huge deal, maybe they ran out of stock? Shrugged it off, figured I could grab some before I left the next day. Monday was rainy in the morning, but it did clear up and so around 12:30 I stopped by. Still closed. I went into Grandma’s Saloon and asked the hosts if they knew what time the Boxcar would be open. They said the hours were 12-8, and didn’t know why it wouldn’t be open as it was after noon. Other people were wondering the same thing and were disappointed it was closed. A group of us still wanted ice cream and ended up giving our business to Love Creamery Canal Park. The ice cream there was good, but I would have preferred the classic Boxcar ice cream.
Maybe there was an emergency and the employee working the Boxcar had to take a personal day. I’m perfectly ok with that, totally understandable. But with it closed early one day and late the next, maybe update the hours on Google or at least have a sign in the window?

So over rated. Gross hotdogs, dry bread & over priced. Drink was 90 % ice
Hotdogs were like rubber
Ice cream tasted like it had been refrozen
Walk 2 blocks to Dairy Queen for 1/2 the price
