Boxcar Bar & Kitchen in City of London, Westminster

The food is good. I ordered a burger and it was better than a good one. The service is slow.

Delicious steak. Top class friendly staff. Thanks for the birthday dessert! We'll come again.

Special final lunch in London with my daughter before I have to leave to go back to Taiwan. She gave me a few options to choose for a roast beef lunch, but this was the standout option. Not disappointed at all, great flavors, beef cooked to perfection, roast potatoes nice and crunchy and correctly soft on the inside. Quality vegetables and a nice “crumble” on the leeks. Also a great Bloody Mary to start with. Service very good, friendly and attentive. My daughter has saved this place for future visits, as she lives in London. Thank you for a great lunch.

Remarkably tasty. The lamb croquettes were fantastic. Savory but with delicate flavors. The beet root slice with tiny beet leaves made a nice presentation. Steak frites was nice too.

Sometimes the most unexpected places are the BEST! My partner walked into this place because of the rain and.. we were lost lol. It was a truly amazing find. Service and food were phenomenal! Boxcar is now a place I will be returning to

The Sunday roast is simply the best!

I really fancied a Sunday roast and after a scan through OpenTable I homed in on Boxcar . Our first time here , both I and my fining companion were not disappointed . The lamb croquettes ( not.pictured) were tasty and not filling leaving room for the main course , shared Hereford beef which was superb , well presented and accompanied by gravy and a selection of seasonal vegetables. The dessert, chocolate maquise , with raspberry coulis was heavenly . with all this excellent cooking , the staff delivered a superlative service

What a difference staff and service makes. We love the Wyndham street branch so decided to go to the Quebec Street branch for coffee. Despite being the onl;y people in the restaurant simple americano and latte could not be made right. Badly made and served cold despite requesting to make sure its extra hot before ordering. Did not have anything else.

We had a Sunday roast and it was pretty good. The beef sirloin was great quality and perfectly medium rare. However, I wish that it would’ve been served at a warmer temperature as I found it a bit too cold for my liking. The trimmings of leek gratin and caramelised carrots were very well done! However, the roast potatoes were subpar, the outer layer was pretty tough instead of crisp. The charred cabbage was only slightly charred at the edges and overall tasted quite raw. Overall, it is still one of the better Sunday roasts around.

Very friendly and attentive service. We had the set lunch menu, which had choices, and was excellent; i had lamb croquettes, sirloin steak (perfectly cooked and so tender!) with peppercorn sauce and finally, strawberries with whipped cheesecake and crumble. Delicious. Thank you Boxcar.

Ordering a delicious burger from them, I will go back to it a million times😍👍🏻

Good food and good service for customer

One of the best Cote de Beuf in London, very nice atmosphere and excellent service, definitely recommend.

Amazing experience, exquisite food, and the service was spotless even though it was busy. Cote de boeuf really well cooked.

Amazing evening, best service in London.

Unique, well cooked.lovely cocktails.

Fabulous neighbourhood restaurant for a long weekend lunch or dinner. Really relaxed and excellent food-especially Sunday roasts and desserts-wow. Diverse wine list and gorgeous in summer in the back courtyard or out front if you have a pooch.

Attended a wedding lunch here. Everything was amazing 😄

Came here for lunch ! So happy I discovered this gem, exceptional food and fantastic service. The wagyu burger really was flawless, as well as the peppercorn sauce and the fries 😍 the only thing was it was dead quiet but apparently it gets more lively in the evenings

Excellent food at a very fair price all topped off with perfect service.

Fantastic location to eat at. I love the setting, the food was amazing and the team that work there for great too. For the price point as well i couldnt recommend this place enough. Definately put on your list!

Great food. Good service. We were looking for something ‘around the corner’ from Marble Arch and away from our hotel.

one of the best place in London,

The best Sunday roast I have ever had.

I’ve been to Boxcar several times and it always lives up to expectations. The staff are always super friendly; the food beyond the quality you would expect for the price; and the cocktails always delicious. Would highly recommend!

Booked for a birthday dinner, very attentive staff although slow at times (understandable given the amount of tables they have to cover) and delicious food. The sirloin steak was delicious, better than the ribeye in my opinion, recommend the peppercorn sauce as well. The rhubarb dessert came with a Happy Birthday message in chocolate and they offered a delicious limoncello at the end.

Food and service is amazing! Ribeye was cooked to perfection and very flavorful. Charred cauliflower was delicious. My husband liked his burger and fries. And the elderflower nojito was fantastic!

I’m not often one to leave a review but the service and food was so excellent here. I couldn’t recommend it more. Our waitress Fiona was absolutely brilliant, and the peach margaritas were 10/10!

Popped in with wife and Mother-in-law. We were seated almost instantly. Service was very good. All the staff were extremely friendly which lent itself well to the relaxed ambiance of the place. Food was fantastic and well priced. Would visit again. Good beers.

Absolutely delicious Sunday roast. Will definitely be back.

Fantastic steak, cooked perfectly rare but not bloody. Sides were the perfect compliment to it, and I would totally recommend going for the peppercorn sauce. Liam took great care of us, being friendly, quick and very personable. Would 100% recommend.

I just wanna say to everyone reading this review, this is a Gem in Marylebone and definitely it worth a try. Amazing service from the staff, good food and definitely I will be back.

I will be coming back soon. I hosted my two friends and my son for a steak on Thu night. The Rib eye and 3 sirloins were made to perfection. My friend asked for his to be cooked slightly more which was sorted quickly. Peppercorn sauce was a delight. Broccoli delicious. Great staff, smiles and fun. Quick too. House red was a great selection. Box car will see me and my friends again.

Wow, honestly this was the best food we have had in London. We got the steak and the duck breast and it was so delicious and well cooked. The staff were also so lovely - great people and super friendly. The ambiance was awesome - great place for lunch, dinner or cocktails! Definitely coming back!!

Lovely place to have a nice meal. Steak tartare and scallops were so tasty. Highly recommended

Great ambience and beautiful interior. Sunday roast was good but not phenomenal.

Fabulous food and service and a good wine selection. The beetroot tart is delicious. Went with friends and everyone enjoyed their dishes. Would highly recommend!

We went there to have a drink and the lady there asked us if we had a reservation we said no, and she looked at us in disgust. It was so appalling and insulting. We left the place right away. I can understand the place might be full during evenings/ weekdays but that/s not how to treat customers.

Came here for a drink, the staff is very friendly and nice, the atmosphere is really good, it’s tiny but very pretty. The cocktail was amazing and prices reasonable according to the position of the bar.

12 of us had a really fun evening at Boxcar. Our waitress, Fiona, was very friendly and helpful. The food was spot on, everything was delicious. Lovely lighting and a relaxed atmosphere. Perfect!

All good the food was delicious and the waiter is kind. I will visit again!

Visited on a busy Saturday night and took the last available seat at the bar. Food was OK, as described and as expected and served in a reasonable time. The people either side of me ordered steak and had a very bad experience - food was very slow to arrive, one steak was way over cooked and the other way under, neither looked particularly appealing. Service was a mixed experience. The waitress seemed more interested in flirting with the other staff than doing her job - throwing a menu at customers while rushing past is not the way to do it in my opinion. The barman however was attentive and quick and made a great negroni. All up a mixed bag. I might go back at a quiet time if I was in the area but certainly wouldn't go out of my way.

I visited a couple of weekends ago and I had an extremely positive experience at Boxcar. The atmosphere was very warm and relaxed. Our server looked after us very well and was extremely knowledgeable about the menu, being able to advise even on the portion sizes. Drinks were reasonably priced for Central London and the food was enjoyed by all us in attendance and we all had a variety of starters, mains and desserts. I'd happily return and have no reservations in recommending Boxcar.

Wonderful and easy Sunday lunch - delicious food - including Yorkshire puddings - great atmosphere and easy service - will definitely be coming back

Slow service - took a good 15 mins place order and then everything came out very slowly. Scallops delicious, torched mackerel pretty good… rib eye was very very fatty. Not much one could actually eat. Good value and the staff were very nice.

Excellent food options, great service. We showed up with no booking 🙆🏽‍♀️ and we were accommodated. The wait staff were super accommodative and the food was excellent.

Had the pleasure of dining at Boxcar today. Everything was perfect from start to finish. My mackerel was wonderful as was my son’s Lamb. Great bottle of Sauvignon Blanc added to the fun. Thank you to the team there for a great Easter lunch.

We came with my friend for lunch. We took the Sunday roast chicken. It was delicious, potatoes were super crispy everything had a lot of flavor. However i think it could be a bit warmer. The staff was super friendly and the place is lovely. 12,5% imposed tips is a lot…(like, a lot!)

Had the most amazing dinner last night at Boxcar. The fillet steak was like butter - so tender, I barely needed a knife. And those scallops with pancetta and artichokes were the best I’ve ever tasted. I usually don’t have dessert but I had to try the rhubarb millefeuille. I’m still dreaming about those layers of pastry and cream. The service was impeccable too. Lorenzo and Liam made the whole experience like we were dining in a warm, welcoming home. I can’t wait to go back.

Amazing service food and drinks, great value and atmosphere. Loved the interiorwith its neutral tones interior.we had a vegetarian with us and the loved all there options she was very happy vegetaria. Meat was exceptionaland cooked to perfection exceptional. I can't wait to go back x

Forth visit and consistently good, friendly staff and great food.

Had a great meal at Boxcar on Saturday night. We were greeted with a smile from the waiter and had prompt service all night. Food was esquisite. I would highly recommend!

Always delicious and mouth watering steak here. Very cosy for a date night or night with friends.

Upstairs atmosphere is great. It loses something downstairs. A bit too dark and no windows Good Sunday roast and starters with plenty of vegetarian options.

We loved our meal at boxcar. Nice ambience, lovely decor. Nice service. We had sirloin steak and burger. Both delicious. We shared chocolate ganache for desert. Very good. Will return.

We only popped in for cocktails, on our way somewhere. If we hadn’t already booked somewhere I’d have loved to have stayed. Anyway, called in on our way back. The drinks beautifully served. Service very warm and friendly. Next time I’m in London I will visit again and also recommend anyone else to do so. Very cozy atmosphere but vibrant as well.

Our visit to Boxcar Bar & Grill was an absolute delight. From the moment we stepped in, the ambiance exuded warmth and charm. The rustic decor coupled with subtle lighting created a cozy atmosphere perfect for a casual evening out. The menu boasted a diverse selection of dishes, each prepared with finesse and attention to detail. The staff were attentive and friendly, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. The highlight was undoubtedly the food; every bite was bursting with flavor, and the presentation was impeccable. Boxcar Bar & Grill exceeded our expectations and left us eager to return for another memorable dining experience.

Started with a very friendly welcome. Great atmosphere, fantastic food. I would definitely recommend this place

Wow, what a restaurant! 10/10 for everything, starting from the highly friendly and professional staff. Cozy atmosphere and top-notch food! You'll spend a lovely time with your loved ones, enjoying every second of it. Do not hesitate to book!

Great food & great service, would highly recommend

We've been to Boxcar a few times now. The food is delicious and the service is great too. If you find yourself in the area, it's definitely worth visiting this little gem.

Actually it’s better than three star but not quite “very good”. The starters were so limited that we didn’t bother (not a lot for non-pork, non-seafood eaters, nothing to share and no soup). Those who chose well and had the Venison, had a really delicious meal. I’m still cross that I ordered trout with beetroot as the trout was ordinary and the beetroot slightly hard and under-cooked. It was fine but not special. Maybe ordering fish in such a meaty place was just a silly idea. The desserts (there were just two and we tried both) were good. The chocolate one isn’t really my thing but it was dense and chocolaty and cut by the fruit. The ginger saverin was excellent as were most of the bits with it except the chestnuts which were too crisp and hard plus didn’t taste of chestnut (I’m a bit of a chestnut freak) The service was good and attentive -others have complained at it but all seemed pretty efficient on quite a busy Friday night. I suspect it really is a place just for meat-eaters and I’m not that keen. That doesn’t mean it isn’t pretty good for them.

Cozy ambiance and the food was great! No complaints.

Amazing food and staff. Happy to find this treasure. The aged Angus was excellent, also tried the venison. Can't fault anything we have tasted. Staff was outstanding. We will be back. 👏🏻👌

Can't fault this place. We were a large group including kids and the staff were incredibly accommodating and knowledgeable. Stumbled on this place as was looking for a last minute roast for a large group that included close friends from out of town (Australia). I wanted them to experience a Sunday Roast, London style! Boy did this place IMPRESS! From it's easy location to it's atmosphere, to it's service to it's food.... Tick, tick, tick tick and more ticks. I have to admit this would be one of the best roasts I've had in a restaurant! If you are in the area, do yourself a favour and be sure to visit this gem!! I'll definitely be returning! Well done Boxcar Team!!!

We came for food on Friday 23nd of December. As we were tourists to the area, we wanted to enjoy a nice meal close to Hyde Park. We came in with our autistic son, who will only eat certain foods. All 3 of us really enjoyed the meal. The food was outstanding. However, when we firstly entered the restaurant and asked for a table of 3, the waitress pulled a face as if they were to busy. There were only 2 tables there on arrival. She turned to her colleague and then agreed that we could sit down. My husband also seen this face, and we both thought they must have been expecting further guests. Later on, another family came in and were literally treated like royalty and then it clicked - they thought we were low class! The bill came to £135 and when we got back home, I worked out what we had ordered compared to what we had paid. They had charged us a service fee which on the menu says is optional. Unfortunately, we were not given this option. As we are not from London, and where we live we do not have service charges, we feel we were taken advantage of being tourists. As mentioned above, food outstanding and the staff were friendly enough but wouldn't return based on the above.

Service was very slow and servers were unapologetic / had no sense of urgency. I had to ask for my drink, scallops and steak. Was 45 min wait in between courses and they didn’t offer us dessert. For a £200 meal would recommend going elsewhere

The beef Sunday Roast was okay nothing special. The atmosphere was great and more relaxed compared to the usual pubs were you might have sunday roast. I would not go back because the food was not as delicious but I had a good experience nonetheless.

Really nice choice for Sunday lunch. Contemporary ambiance with friendly service. Extremely flavoursome roast chicken with all the trimmings. Very tasty chocolate mousse for dessert. Prices reasonable for central London. Would definitely recommend and would return again.

Visited for Sunday lunch. The staff couldn’t have been more welcoming. We turned up just before opening and asked if they could seat 10 of us for lunch. With a bit of jiggling the staff worked their magic and we had a wonderful table out the back of the restaurant (talk about private dining). Now the food - I’m not one for Sunday dinners away from home as they always are a let down. Well not this one! We ordered sharing dinners and every morsel was absolutely spot on! The staff were attentive and very welcoming, they honestly couldn’t do enough for us. 10 people, no reservation, best Sunday lunch ever! Definitely recommend!

Service was probably the worst I have experienced ever in my life. The waitress did not even apologise for it. Food took nearly 100 minutes to come over. I do not recommend this place at all. You have been warned ;)

Delicious and staff were great. No complaints

Eat here last night food was unbelievable. Will be back soon

Popped in for a beer on the way to an event this week. There was nobody at the front so I went to the bar and asked for a beer. The barman rather obnoxiously asked me if I had a table. I said I didn’t realise I needed one and was planning on sitting at the bar. I got sent back to the entrance and waited whilst the front of house person dealt with another customer. Once he had done that he sort of looked at me as if to say what do you want and when I explained he looked around and eventually said I could sit at the bar if I wanted in a rather dismissive tone. I told them it was ok and went elsewhere. Strange customer service all round.

I really enjoyed their beef burger. Delicious. I would come again with a few friends. Excellent & friendly staff.

I really enjoyed my meal at Boxcar Bar and Grill. The angus beef steak was cooked perfectly and the mashed potatoes were creamy and delicious. The service was also excellent. The staff were friendly and attentive, and made sure that I had everything I needed. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others.

Very welcoming, food very tasty.

Oh dear, this was just awful and excruciating. The service was shambolic but in a way that left me feeling thoroughly sorry for the staff. The table was cramped to the point where it was difficult for the diners next to us to exit for the toilet/cigarette without us getting out of our seats. The staff trying to serve us/ the next table had the same perilous issue. We ordered drinks, they didn’t come and we asked again and when they came the £cocktail was average. We tried to order food but it was a challenge. The staff were confused/uncertain about the menu. The food we were told was not available/sold but which was still on the special board(a mirror that was really hard to read) was delivered despite us being asked to chose something else. I’m still not quite sure what we got. When the food came it was decent but not anything special. Eating the food was uncomfortable in the cramped seating. The whole thing just made me want to leave. I felt sorry for the staff who were seemingly lovely but who needed training and support. None of this is the end of the world and I wish them well but when I’m going out and spending money to eat out service really matters and there are so many places to go that get these basics right. On basis of my experience I’d say give this place a wide berth.

Food was delicious and the service was top tier. Definitely recommend.

This restaurant is located in a quiet street in Marylebone and has a nice cozy feeling. The food was good and the staff was kind and welcoming. If you want to eat some good steak in London in a nice restaurant, I recommend you check out this place!

Lunch time visit, food really good. Quality ingredients cooked very well. Service good l, our server forgot my drinks order but the manager was very polite and professional in redeeming the problem.

Rude, disinterested staff more interested in their instagram accounts than serving customers. Pass.

Went as a party of 12 Friendly efficient service Fantastic food and well presented Great atmosphere Can’t find fault at all

My husband and I stumbled upon this hidden gem near Quebec Street during our visit to London. We had an incredible meal, starting with excellent house ricotta, delicious pigs head croquettes, and roast scallops. The highlight was the sharing stuffed roasted chicken, which was the best Sunday roast we've had in ages ! It came with roast shallots, Yorkshire puddings, creamy leeks, roasted carrots, and grilled cabbage—a true triumph. Desserts were equally delightful. The only downside? We couldn't walk afterwards after eating all that lovely food so we enjoyed more cocktails at the bar. Highly recommended Jannette

The best roast in London. Amazing beef, cooked to perfection. Friendly and welcoming staff. I will come back. Thank you

Great gem in the heart of Portland Village, great quality meat, Sunday roasts are just great and a cool wine offering.

Amazing...all the reviews are accurate. So hard to find a great steak at a reasonable price.

Excellent steak, decent prices, and friendly, attentive staff - thoroughly recommended.

Nice place with tasty burgers and beer.

Really good food, the staff were very helpful and a lovely place to eat

A great find just off the beaten track. My friend and I both had a perfect steak and the sides were just the right size. Very friendly staff with a special mention to our Italian waitress.

Had an incredible fillet steak here for lunch on a Saturday. The place is really nice - you can tell a lot of care goes into the decor and food, but for us it was spoiled by the service. There was only one waitress, who was obviously stressed about the lack of staff as she was having to tend to 5 tables and make drinks by herself. She did her best, but it made the experience a bit uncomfortable, and slow. Our food ticket was lost on the way to the kitchen which meant another delay, although we did get given complimentary juices. If they can sort those issues, I’d be tempted to try it again.

What a lovely little restaurant nestled in a culinary street in Marylebone. Firstly, the staff are just wonderful - friendly, funny, chatty but not over bearing. It was quiet in the restaurant so I can’t really say much about the atmosphere but I can say I was offered a seat where ever I’d like. The outside would’ve been perfect of the wether was a little better. I chose to sit in a bright spot at the back of the restaurant adorned with foliage and a skylight. I ordered the filet steak, which I’m sad to say I feel was over cooked. Perhaps I should’ve asked for rare. In fact I’d normally say ‘how the chef recommends’ when asked how I like my steak but for some I know reason I said medium- rare this time. Even for medium rare it felt over done. I ordered the pepper corn sauce which was tasty and abundant and I wish I’d offered som fries to dip in but I chose the summer vegetables that happens to be cabbage. I decided to sneak in a cheeky cheese board after and it was truly delicious. A fantastic drinks list accompanied the and the Pinot noir was especially quaffable

The location is very convienen and easy to get to; when we arrived we were greeted by a very friendly staff. The food was great, we had the burgers and the steak and they were all cooked as ordered. They also have a nice wine selection. For a casual dinner, it wa me the right spot. The only reason I don’t give it a Five out of five o Is the music, it was a bit too loud. I strongly recommend this place

Mediocre food, and very bad service. Each dish took at least 20 mins to bring to the table, even a cold pana cotta dessert. We also had to wait another 20 mins for the bill, without an apology. Unacceptable. Will not recommend.

Nice atmosphere. Food was tasty and well prepared. Steak perfectly cooked. I thought it was expensive for the size of the portions.

Great restaurant in beautiful, smart, quiet side road. Excellent service. My daughter had the burger and said it was one of the best she's ever had. I had the ricotto, gremolata and peas with sourdough which was fantastic. Would highly recommend.

A very juicy and tasty filet steak Well done 👏🏻 Good service as well

TL;DR was nice, probably not coming back I LOVE their other location and can go there every day, so i was excited to try this one. The food was not bad, but the service and professionalism was lacking - from waiters rarely coming over to my table area to statements like “we don’t have a dessert menu today, my colleague threw all of the copies out” 🤷🏼‍♂️ Again, it wasn’t THAT bad, but in London… where you have so many amazing places - it just doesn’t make sense to come back

The food was really good specially the chicken pesto sandwich but the coffee was average as well customer services were below average ..
