Boxcar Grille - Statesville

For me I enjoyed the salad bar and I always have the Sirloin tips with both paprika swirling mushroom gravur I was satisfied with my eating, I have to admit tpo, it must be some at the door all the time, even if it is slow and salat plates must be atomic on the table when the food selection is added

Box Car Grille had an advertisement in the paper about their Monday night special of Buy one Meal and Get one Free from 6:30 8 PM with live music. So four of us went last night and were told that we had to have a coupon from the ad in order to have the special Monday night deal. They even showed us the ad which no where said COUPON or that you had to bring the coupon or ad with you. Waitress apologized but that is what the owner said. We were already seated so ordered our dinners. I just want to warn all the people that I had told about this great deal did not exist without the bogus coupon . Apparently they had many other people who were in the same boat as we were because they had a hand written paper with the ad they verbally called a coupon and if you did not have that with you, you could not have the deal.

My wife and I work nights and I get a total of four days; two weekends off a month. I am used to eating supper at around 9:00PM. The sign on the door of this restaurant says it closes at 10:00pm. Well it closes sometimes before 9:00 and always before 10:00pm. Tonight I went and set down and the waitress ask me if I wanted something to eat, we are closed ; it was 9:23pm. Now to the food it has never been great but it is going down hill and the price is going up; at least from the last time I was able to catch them actually open and serving food. I am done with them.

Quality of food has went downhill while prices have went up. Very disappointed because this used to be a good place to eat.

Not the greatest place to eat in the world. But its okay. It's an old building so it doesn't feel very clean. The food is alright.
