What locals are saying
Boxcar Betty's on Savannah Hwy is widely regarded as one of Charleston's best fast-casual spots, with locals and long-term residents consistently praising the fried chicken sandwich — particularly the signature Boxcar with pimento cheese, peach slaw, and housemade pickles — as among the best in the city. The fries and sweet potato fries draw nearly equal acclaim, while the sides beyond that are seen as inconsistent and not always up to the sandwich's standard. A recurring criticism is value-for-price: some locals feel the portions are small for the cost, and quality can vary depending on location and visit.
