The Boxcar Southern Bistro - Crewe

Good food! Great service, contemporary style restaurant.

*Just left here. Apparently they don 't serve people food unless you pay $5 to go into the bar area* My husband and I walked in after noticing the parking lot was packed. Upon entering 'Hi, it 'll be 5$ '. When we replied we didn 't want to go into the bar side but preferred the restaurant, we were told 'Oh we don 't do that. After 9pm we have a late night menu '. I 'd like to point out it was 9:02pm. Crewe has very little in restaurants and I 'm sure this establishment could use all the patronage they can get. I will not be giving them any of my business.

When we arrived at the boxcar it was going great, until we started ordering food. Two of my friends food came out 30 minutes after everyone else was served. When the waitress realized these two guys had not been served they had the nerve to come back and ask what they had ordered. This is when their meal was put in. The steaks did not come out like they should have. Gavin ordered a steak medium rare and it came out charred. I don't recommend this place, unless of course you are coming for a jack and coke, which was descent.

My food was great. But my buddies food didn't come out until about 30 mins after a table of 11 of us total (9 got their food). Alcohol took forever to be served. We were, more or less, put on the back burner. (No pun intended).

We were seated right away (party of 11) and that's where the good part of this review ends. The staff seemed flustered and extremely unorganized. They took our order two times before they got it submitted to the kitchen. Once the food was done and delivered to us they forgot two orders of steak. They did not pick up on the mistake until told so. It took 20-25 minuets to get the two steaks one of which was asked for medium rare and the steak came out dry and cooked through. When the checks came out to the two people who they forgot about and a improperly cooked steak still tried charging full price until notified. I will not recommend this place to anyone.
