What Jewelle Johnson likes about Boxcar Social:
The Summerhill location of this restaurant is a favorite in the city, thanks to its amazing coffee, wonderful beer selection, and truly delightful staff. Unlike the intimidating and surly staff at other establishments in Toronto, the team here is always professional, personable, and respectful. One never feels rushed when dining here. View all feedback. What Vernon Stark doesn't like about Boxcar Social:
I have been there with a friend of mine. We had wine and cheese. It was an average place located in a very good place. Inside part is a bit dark, try to find a table outside during good weather. The service was not bad, we didn't wait too much. As I notices from the around tables people were mostly eating antipasti kind of food. They have a good beer and wine menu. View all feedback.

The Riverside location is lovely, although pricey. The food is good, but the selection is limited. When they have the same selection as the other...

Located on the Toronto waterfront, this restaurant offers a mixed dining experience. Reviews ranged from a satisfactory lunch enjoyed by a couple, to a disappointing experience for a large party on Canada Day. The service was commended in some reviews and criticized in others, especially for its lack of drink knowledge and food availability. The ambiance was praised for its casual waterfront vibe, while some felt the service was lacking in efficiency. Despite a variety of opinions, the overall impression was mixed, with highlights including a delicious charcuterie board and the inviting waterfront view.
