I went to Lollapalooza and was introduced to their food. I found their brick and mortar location. The food is fantastic!

Needed lunch catered for 30 and wanted to support local. This place popped up and decided to give them a shot. So glad I did. Offered variety and the sandwiches were delicious! Best part, they called when they were on the way and the delivery guy was very kind and helpful. Need to dine in next time but definitely will keep them in the rotation for future caterings.

Spent over 30 minutes asking around about this place and it doesn't seem to exist here anymore. At least nobody has heard of it and its not in the food court. Lots of other options in the food court, but this is not one of them...

Best place to eat in Ogilvie and one of the best spots to grab a clean healthy lunch downtown......or maybe if you want to treat yourself to some good fried chicken. Salads are amazing, staff are great. If you work downtown you should be eating here at least once a week.

Really good chicken and fries! Has similarities to Raising Cane's and Chick-fil-A, but better. Only small downside was their beverage options, still way better than we expected!

Kid-friendliness: Kids really liked this place.

Can't believe I walked past this place so many times! Food was amazing, the personable service was even better! Went late in the afternoon, so it was pretty empty. But rest assured, I'll be back to try more!

Wheelchair accessibility: Inside Accenture building on 2nd floor, but no doors.

Boxcar Betty’s is the perfect southern fried chicken restaurant. it is comfort food, it’s delicious and it’s real, genuine food. My favorite sandwich is the Boxcar, the pimento cheese is killer and elevates the entire sandwich. Boxcar Betty’s is my favorite chicken sandwich place and I cannot wait to get a million sandwiches and cheddar fries at Lollapalooza. Everyone should go here as soon as they enter Ogilve and get off their train. it will fix everything wrong in your life and i’m sad that it’s closed right now because i am on the train writing this wanting my Boxcar fix. GO HERE!! support this awesome business. the service is exceptional and the food….WOW!!!!!!!!

Love this place!! So glad it survived the pandemic and keeps trucking to this day. I've always had excellent service and great quality food. Highly recommend for a convenient lunch.

If I had any note to make, it's that the sandwich (especially the buffalo) has very mild flavors. A little heat isn't a bad thing! :)
