Every time I come in town I stop here to get bar b que. It is amazing. Juicy meat, flavorful sausage with a smooth texture and delicious sauce that isn’t too Sweet or overly spicy. I’ve sent others and they are repeat customers now as well.

The food has been nothing but spectacular every single time I come in. I'm a very picky eater but everything I've tried I've loved. Best BBQ in East Texas by far! David and his fiancé are genuinely the sweetest people ever. Go give them a visit and I PROMISE you won't regret it.

Definitely worth your time and money. The ribs were meaty. The chopped beef had a wonderful smoky and sweet savory flavor. Clean and well maintained kitchen and dining areas. If this review was helpful, please "like" it.

Sandwiches are great! They are a generous size and the meat is delicious & tender. We order the chopped beef sandwich and split it. It’s enough for my wife & I. The serving size on the sides are small, and for that reason I don’t recommend getting a plate. Everything that we have tried is very good.

I’ve only recently discovered Boxcar, despite driving by numerous times. I live in Tyler, but I’m in Longview every few weeks. I’m a brisket lover, and I absolutely love the chopped beef! Juicy… tender… tasty… topped off with the perfect BBQ sauce. Chef’s kiss! Of the sides I’ve had so far, all fantastic! Mac n cheese is by far the best I’ve had from a restaurant. Daniel, David and Lauren are all exceptionally friendly! I’ll definitely be back soon!

WOW. What a great BBQ restaurant in Longview! Great, fast service and low prices. Home made everything including the blueberry delight. Insider tip: Eat in! The sauce is kept warm In a crock pot all day, every day, at just the right temperature. Fun quest.. take a selfie with the "saddle bag".
