My dear husband wanted to go to a new place today! Because of a  review in the Weekly Volcanohe wanted to check out the Boxcar Grill in Freighthouse Square, 2501 E. D St., Tacoma. We enjoyed a late lunch. I had the Boxcar Patty Melt and he had the Chicken Fried Steak with eggs. We each ate about 1/2 because of the large portions. I really liked mine and he loved his saying it had real steak inside the coating instead of ground up beef. Service was delightful. The place opened in January 2012.
