Salad with fried chicken and ranch
Samantha P.

Hands down the best fried chicken in town! I've been here many times and the sandwiches, tenders, and salad are all always a hit! The salad with fried chicken is my favorite. Indulgent but not as heavy as the sandwich. The west Ashley location has a great vintage/old school Charleston feel. When you walk in you are greeted and there is convenient counter service. Kid friendly too.

Found this little gem while in town for business and I can honestly say, I am glad we gave it a try. I do not know where the name came from but it did have a boxcar feel inside, it was quaint and very well decorated. The service was top notch, took our order right away and gave great recommendations. I got the Boxcar combo, which is a chicken sandwich with pimento cheese, pickles, mayo and slaw....HOLY COW....BEST chicken sandwich I have ever had. I travel for work a lot and I eat in a lot of different places and that sandwich is hands down the best....great job Boxcar Bettys. I will definitely return the next time I am in town. The only thing I regret is not taking a picture of the sandwich. If you are close, you have to try this place.

I love Boxcar Betty's! If you are in Charleston make sure to go to one of their locations. This one is located right on Savannah Highway. There is a small amount parking on the sides and behind the restaurant. This was my first experience. It was awesome! The staff were amazing. The customer service is on point. They were busy, but nothing was missed. They made sure to say hello, a thank you, direct us to where everything was, and help with the menu. The restaurant indoors is casual. It has large electronic menus up that are easy to read. There is a small counter where you place your order. There is seating in and outdoors. There are wooden tables spread throughout inside. The space is not huge but fits a decent amount of people. Outside you will find a few small metal tables under an awning. The food was awesome! We got the create your own combo. I highly recommend. It is a great deal. You get a sandwich that you choose your protein, sauce, and toppings(there is a limit). And small fries with a drink. I enjoyed this option because the sandwich options they had I would have wanted to switch something or add. This way I got what I truly wanted. The chicken is well seasoned and sooo crispy! I loved my topping choices. I am just saying fried shallots... The fries are excellent. Basically go to Boxcar Betty's, you will not be disappointed.

I usually go for the chicken sandwich with pimiento and peach slaw at Boxcar Betty's, but this time I wasn't as hungry and switched it up. The chicken tenders were spot on! Perfectly seasoned, tender, and crisp and I paired them with ranch for dipping. The fries and lemonade are always a win, making it the perfect meal for a warm end-of-summer day! We love Boxcar Betty's!

Chicken Not So Waffle, Fried Green Tomatoes with Spicy Mayo
Chris L.

Came right before lunch hour and got to see so many people walk in showing how beloved this place is. Simple concept done so so well. I loved getting the fried green tomatoes for my side instead of fries. Staff were so friendly and checked in on me as they walked around cleaning tables. You order at register and they give you a number and bring your food to you. They compost all trash!

Everything's changes ! The staff is so great ! The tea is amazing ! The chicken breast is much smaller but they didn't decrease the accoutrements with the box car! I found it way too over powering ! Also the combo was too much . The fries were good and hot ! They brought it to our table ! Order and they give you a number ! All in all a good experience !ambiance box carish!

Fried green tomatoes and not so waffle chicken sandwich. Delicious
Chris G.

The not-so waffle sandwich was delicious! Fries had a great seasoning. Fried green tomatoes were also tasty. Would definitely come back!

Buffalo sandwich with a pimento-stuffed portobello mushroom cap and a small side of fries
John B.

An entry into my list of places that are not for vegetarians, but have made an effort, this place offers sandwiches with a portobello mushroom cap fried and stuffed with pimento cheese. Not exactly health food, but an interesting and distinctively southern experiment. For people that don't do dairy, not much for you here. I got my sandwich Buffalo style. This turned out not to be the greatest decision, as pimento cheese and Buffalo sauce flavors clash. The mushroom cap itself was quite indulgent, but at least I got in some fiber. Their combo option includes a small order of fries; sometimes small means barely enough to notice, but here small is plenty for one person. It also includes a drink, and wanting to avoid any further indulgences I was happy for the option of unsweetened tea. They offer the option to customize a sandwich, and I bet I could find a better flavor combination for my tastes than their preset options. So my conclusion is that this was an interesting fast food place, worth a shot for someone who's thinking about it.

The fried chicken sandwich with bacon jam was delicious! The crispy coating on the chicken had the perfect blend of spices.

Really good food. If you're looking for something a little more diet friendly this is not your place. But it sure is mine.

It's tucked into a cute neighborhood and was super close to our Airbnb, making it an easy stop while exploring the city. We ordered the Italian Girl and split it since we had a full day of eating planned ahead of us. Honestly, I think it was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, the ingredients were high quality, and it was beautifully put together. The burrata really made the sandwich feel special and took it to another level. Every bite was packed with flavor without feeling heavy. It's one of those meals that sticks with you long after your trip is over. I'm still dreaming about this sandwich and will absolutely be back the next time I'm in Charleston.

I really enjoyed the pepper shooter aioli on the roast beef sandwich. The Italian girl felt like an ode to a classic which I enjoyed. The grilled cheese was just alright for me. I didn't quite get that Cacio E pepper flavor or any black pepper at all and it just tasted like a solid grilled cheese with some of the truffle honey. Thought they were overall some solid sandwiches and would go back to try some of the others!

Oh this place is a gem! I signed up for a Shift Pilates membership recently and got a free…read morespecialty drink so I decided to try this place after my workout. I am not the biggest fan of café food but I was hungry. I got the Tiger Chai Latte and the breakfast burrito (add bacon). Both were diviiiine. Divine I tell ya. I thought I wouldn't like the chai latte because it would be too sweet but the first sip was just magical lol! It was perfectly balanced and so creamy and smooth. It tasted like sipping velvet. And none of the flavors were overpowering. I asked the barista how they got it so creamy and she said they steam it first and then she gave me a whole history lesson on chai tea vs chai lattes. Then the egg burrito.... It has a hash brown which gives it a crunch, plus it has sautéed onions and an aioli sauce that ties everything together. So so good. I came in to try the mushroom toast but changed to the egg burrito at the last minute but I'll be back here everyday after class for awhile lol. I will say the cafe is a little loud so I can't see myself actually working here because I need a less stimulating environment for the type of work I do. But many others were. It's still a good place for meeting up with someone for coffee or to grab a bite.

I finally got to experience this ultra chic cafe in West Ashley a few days ago. What a great coffee…read moreshop. They use Riptide coffee beans and make delicious coffee drinks. We also had Mushroom toast (a first for me) ... it was outstanding. I loved it, full of flavor & umami. My daughter had Avocado toast which was also great. The staff are so nice and eager to ensure that the best service is provided. The cafe is cozy, chic and inviting with a mix of seating areas. Wifi & window views. They have parking out front. We will definitely return to this great spot.

The shop itself is small and charming, right in the middle of town, with tons of sandwich options on the menu. The staff was incredibly welcoming and warm, and the service was super quick when we visited on a weekday (though we've heard weekends can get busy). We ordered the Chicken Milanese sandwich, which came on focaccia with bacon and an incredible sweet chili sauce that brought everything together perfectly. It was easily one of the best sandwiches we've had. We also tried the Bollito sandwich, a rich beef sandwich that came with a dipping broth on the side--absolutely unreal and packed with flavor. Overall, the experience was fantastic and the food was outstanding. If you're in Charleston, this place is a must-visit!
