First time back at Tunnicliffs after being away since May 2018 due to relocating outside DC. Better than I remember hence upgrading my review from a 4 to a solid 5! Scott the manager bar tender was still on scene and a class act. Sound beer selection, wine for my guest, clean cold glasses. Cheeseburger was perfectly cooked to medium as requested, side salad fresh (no wilted lettuce) – all condiments clean (to include... View all feedback.
What Mimi Hsu doesn't like about Boxcar Tavern:
This is a local place for us and we stopped by on a Friday evening for drinks and dessert. It seems like they may be having staffing issues and no one approached us for 10 minutes. The bartender/server was friendly, when he did get to us, but they were out of some of the wines on the menu and all the desserts were gone except cheesecake. The cheesecake was tasteless as were the berries on top. Good location but don't... View all feedback.
I sat outside this restaurant waiting for my grandmother next door. I'm watching people come and go and assume that food had to be pretty good. I decided to order my grandparents. I order the pulled pork sandwich w/fries. The sandwich was average, it was first brought to another lady sitting at the bar, with the claw open without lid or bag. I also order an additional frit and the big fish sandwich. Well, I might have received 8 old hard pommes as a side, and the fish sandwich was fried so hard that I thought it was darkened. I should have known when I went past the kitchen to the rest room and it was not cleaned, the grill was bad and food particles everywhere at the place I should have canceled my order. Please do a better job in maintaining your kitchen clean people consume this food and I would hate everyone being poisoned.
Service and food were top notch. would definitely recommend to try if you are in the area... Excellent Cuban sandwich..
Location is adorable, the food was great, and the **** Mary's were great. We only regret that we couldn't sit at the table. We were all the way on the back, it would have been nice to be in the front and enjoy some of the ambience of the eastern market.
Beautiful ambience with rustic tavern feeling. Food was ok Cuban Sandwich and Pommes were great! But Veggie Burger was dry and not tasteful.
Boxcar Tavern is a part of the Hill Restaurant Group, so I figured it'd only make sense to try it out. I was impressed with the layout and comfy seating. Unfortunately, the service was a little delayed, took a seat at the bar and waited for a few minutes before deciding to head next door. All things considered the atmosphere was similar to their other establishments, but the major let down was the service.
