Delivery Apps Are Destroying Restaurants | Eater Chicago

"A barbecue joint launched by the chef and his wife during the pandemic that emphasizes hearty pit cooking (the bone-in beef rib is called out as a must-try). The operation deliberately refused to sign up with major third-party delivery apps, instead relying on customer-paid, no-commission delivery options like Getcho and Uber Package; this stance stems from a belief that high app commissions unfairly erode restaurant margins and undermine the industry. The tone is defiant and community-minded, urging fellow restaurateurs to consider shunning commission-taking platforms to protect their businesses and preserve closer connections with customers." - Phillip Foss

I was fiending for barbqueue and got what I came for. Got the Brisket Melt I think it was called, and the brisket taco and both were crazy meaty and flavorful. A bit heavy and oily but one does not go to a bbq looking for greens. Definitely coming again.

This was my 1st time at Boxcar but definitely not my last! It smells awesome as you drive by but it tastes even better 😋 Large servings and great sides. We got turkey and pit beans and collards on 1 plate. And the conductor sandwich and fries. The conductor sandwich is a meal on Texas toast!

Second time eating at this place since they opened and both times were 10/10. The first time was take out and I got the smash burger and it was so good I came back for seconds , but instead we did dine in . The customer service was quick and very attentive the entire time!

First time at this restaurant... I tried to barbacoa tacos. They were very fresh, very good, very hot off the stove. I also had a side of collard greens... Those are very good. (Maybe a little over priced at $4). All in all it was a very good experience.

Man, the smash burger here is amazing. The dirty fries are amazing as well. The brisket is juicy and flavorful

Nice folks. Good service. Different type of BBQ sauce than I usually see. Which was a nice change of pace.
