First, the location is convenient to find. It sits right on the main street, and there is a welcome flag outside. There is plenty of parking and the outside of the building is very nice and well kept. Those are the last good things I can say about this location. We walked inside and it looked crowded, but in actuality, there were less than 30 people in the entire place and only about eight sitting at the bar. I do consulting work so I travel frequently and when I do my husband and I take those opportunities to visit wineries and distilleries in the area and this is the first distillery I have ever been in where the display is located right behind the barstools and with the people sitting at the bar And their friends standing behind them, we could not even see what the distillery had to offer. We stood at the bar for about 15 minutes and the bartender never even acknowledged we were there. Now again, it looked busy, but of the 8 to 10 people sitting at the bar there were 4 to 5 at the far end of the bar who were there either before or after a wedding reception that should have been cut off , and they were monopolizing his attention. After we waited for him to take a drink order for more than 15 minutes after we were told he would be back twice, we just decided to buy liquor to try at home. I squeezed my way amongst the group to find the very small display in the back And literally just grabbed a few small sample bottles and one bottle of caramel something and made my way back to the bar. We put the bottles on the bar, put my husband's wallet next to the bottles, and we stood there for 33 minutes, I timed it on my phone because my husband and I had a bet on how long it would take the bartender to come back. I won at 30 and at 33 minutes. We walked out and left the liquor on the bar. The gentleman sitting in the seat next to where we were standing, could see our frustration and told us if we wanted to go to a real distillery to go to the Moonshine Distillery in Namty Glo, which we did and it was worth the drive! Unfortunately, this location looks like it's a bar with some samples on the wall, which is great if you wanna be a bar, but for people that look for distilleries and spend $$$$ when they are there, this is not the place to go. My recommendation, always acknowledge your customers when they are at the bar, even if it's just to say hey I'm busy, I'll be right back, but never ignore them. I have been to distilleries and wineries that are in old barns, in the middle of nowhere, and they still smell like active farms, but, the liquor was superb, the displays were amazing, and the people that worked there were friendly, engaging, and just amazing people which made the experience a five star visit every time.

Going home just doesn't feel like it used to compared to just a few short years ago for me. There's…read morea number of reasons for that, but this isn't that type of review. One of the things I miss the most is the home cooked meals I would look forward to. Recently, those meals are far and few in between. On a recent trip my brother and I had decided to give this place a try. He had been here before, but this would be my first time. We ventured over and walked in. There wasn't much of a crowd and we were seated with menus in hand in no time. I did a once over of the menu quickly and spotted meatloaf. I don't know what it is about meatloaf on a menu, but I have to give it a try each and every time I see it. Our server was quick to take our order and we were just now going to wait until things started to arrive. I looked around the space as we waited and took it in. This place really does give off a small town vibe with the decor. My brother told me that the space is bigger when they use the other dining room as well. With it being not so busy, they had no need to use that part of the space. Unlike the one reviewer that said they get hit with a smell when they come in here, the only smell I got hit with was the food being prepared. We both started off with a side salad. It was a decent size, but I did have to pick through it a bit as there was some undesirable pieces of lettuce floating in the salad. They give you ample salad dressing so you can go all in or add as you go. Wasn't anything special, lettuce, tomato, onion and your dressing. Nice way to start off the meal. Then the main dish arrived. Like I said, I went with the meatloaf which came with two sides and a roll. For my sides I went with mashed potatoes and my choice of vegetable, corn. The choice of vegetable varies on what they have that day. You could tell that there were some shortcuts taken on some of the plate, but not the meatloaf. With gravy over the meatloaf and mashed potatoes it was the way to go. The meatloaf was seasoned nicely, it was overpowered by peppers or onions, it was just right. I did the Pennsylvania thing in me with the mashed potatoes and corn. I would take a glob of the potatoes and stick it in the corn to eat it. Not sure if anyone else does this, but I find it easier and sometimes the combination is spot on. The addition of the sweet corn to the potatoes gives is a buttery taste. While we were noshing away at our meal we got a bacon cheeseburger with fries to go for my Dad waiting at home. They cooked it at just the right time. As we were finishing up the meal I saw them placing the to go order near the counter. Almost perfect timing. Paying was easy and we headed out for the night.

The pizza and Stromboli is pretty good too If being overly critical, sometimes things arnt consistent. Pizza could be a bit over crispy one time, perfect the next 3 and then slightly under cooked the next time. One thing that 100% bothers me is their lack of cutting the pizza in uniform slices. They don't have to be 100% the same size but there are always at least one or two monster sized slices and then tiny slivers. Picky I know but it's really hard to portion when multiple people are eating off a pie.

I ordered a Diet Coke to go with my meal. My companion opted for the Reuben and couldn't stop complimenting the food.Aside from the delicious food, I was impressed by the friendliness of the staff and how quickly they served us. In an era where dining out can be prohibitively expensive, the prices at the Boxcar were surprisingly reasonable. My burger cost just nine dollars, and with my drink, I spent a total of 11 bucks. It was a fantastic value for a satisfying lunch.If you ever find yourself in Lillie and in need of a bite to eat, I highly recommend the Boxcar restaurant.
