Breakfast Lunch Southern

Named one of the best fried chicken places in America by USA Today, Boxcar Betty’s has been gracing Chicago with its presence at Ogilvie Transportation Center since Spring 2018. The first location outside of its native Charleston, South Carolina, Boxcar Betty’s has quickly become a favorite among Chicagoland travelers and neighborhood businesses for their fast-casual breakfast and lunch as well as their unique catering options.  

For the early birds (see what we did there?), Boxcar Betty’s has the Southern-inspired breakfast sandwich covered. Start your day off right with their traditional, house made biscuits either by themselves or as the buns on any of the morning sammie options.  

The signature, crowd-pleasing Boxcar sandwich does its namesake proud with unorthodox toppings like pimiento cheese, peach slaw paired with more traditional condiments like house pickles and spicy mayo. Pick your protein - fried/grilled chicken or pimiento-stuffed portabella – and you’ve got yourself an unexpected dream team of a sando.  

Get the best of both worlds in the sweet and savory Chicken “Not-So-Waffle" sandwich schmeared with bacon jam, a drizzle of maple syrup, some of the staple pimiento cheese and slices of tomato. Or spice things up and bite into the Buffalo, cooled off with a house made blue cheese sauce, tomato and Bibb lettuce.

Create-your-own sandwich or salad like we did by putting our favorite sandwich (Buffalo) in a healthier form (salad)! Outstanding candied pecans, fragrant shallots, diced tomatoes and Bibb lettuce came together with the house blue cheese sauce and fried chicken pieces for our ideal lunch! Round things out with a side of hand-cut fries or fried green tomatoes and wash it all down with a vanilla, chocolate, strawberry or pecan pie milkshake!
