BOXCAR

Stopped by Boxcar to catch a Premier League match, and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Within minutes, they had the game up on one of their screens, and the service throughout was outstanding. Lisa, one of the managers, made sure the sound was on so we could fully enjoy the match, and John, our server, went above and beyond, not only providing excellent service but also recommending a local scenic drive, which turned out to be brilliant. We were traveling with our 2-year-old son and almost hesitated to visit after reading a previous review that suggested it wasn’t kid-friendly. However, I can confidently say that our experience was completely different—they were fantastic with kids. The staff was welcoming and accommodating, making it a comfortable spot for families. Overall, I highly recommend Boxcar for anyone visiting Santa Fe, whether you’re looking to catch a game, enjoy good food, or even if you’re bringing little ones along. It’s a laid-back spot with top-notch service!

After a long day of flights and walking we stopped in for a drink and ended up staying for dinner. Drinks & food were delicious and our waiter was friendly and helpful. We sat outside since is a mild afternoon and our table was in the shade. The entrance is around the corner from their signage - up a staircase that is not immediately obvious.

Conveniently located on Water Street close to many of the attractions. Large menu with lots of sports bar table fare. Decent happy hour. Service quality will depend on your server. Beware this eatery isn’t exactly kid friendly. The Boxcar is old and a lot of drinking takes place even on a weekday at 2pm. Food served warm, but a bit on the salty side-everything. Beware your beverage glass for cleanliness.

John was our waiter and he was very professional and friendly. Immediately asked us how we were doing and went over the specials. Brought out our order quickly and checked on us consistently. This place has awesome service, food, drinks and atmosphere. Will definitely be back. Thanks John!!!

We came for breakfast and arrived late. Cutoff time was 1pm and Bianca our waitress accommodated us with our breakfast request. We enjoyed our meal so much we ended up staying a few hours to watch the games and eat more food. We enjoyed the restaurant and the service and meal recommendations we received from Bianca which made our outing enjoyable. We will definitely be back and will be asking for Bianca.

The food here was amazing! It was all reasonably priced for downtown Santa Fe. The music was great too, and the service was even better. Our server, Max, was very quick and attentive. He had a great memory and was very friendly!

Our server Ron was fantastic. He was funny, friendly and on top of it. He’s doing a fantastic job!! Food has really leveled up lately, the chicken pot pie is great. Also loved the shrimp and fish tacos.

Here's the honest truth: regardless of what you may feel about the "downtown Santa Fe scene", this is one of the best things going on in Santa Fe. Really cool location, being located in a multilevel arcade/shopping center super close to the downtown plaza. Boxcar has some really great food and drinks options as well. My only gripe is having to lug gear up three flights of stairs when my band plays, but hey, that's just how it goes sometimes.
