"The Breakfast was delicious. Fina waited on us and the restaurant is very efficiently run with good food. The coffee was good also. There aren't many choices for breakfast in Chama at end of September, but this was far superior to the other restaurant we tried for breakfast. I had the Elroy Omelette which was really good."

"We love to drive over the hill to see what’s new in Chama. We had heard correctly that the Boxcar Cafe was under new ownership. We walked in to find the place bustling with lunch goers. The service was quick and friendly. A lot of the staff appeared quite young but they were on their toes, courteous and friendly. I ordered a build your own burger with green chile, mushroom aioli and provolone. You get to pick the patty size and the buns were great. I enjoyed thoroughly but regretted my no fries decision when I saw a plate of them go past. They looked delicious also. My husband chose the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and green chile gravy. It was good too and the gravy was rich but not too spicy. Claudia the hostess was attentive and busy helping people get the most out of their lunch. Enjoyed it very much."

"So thankful this place was open! We spent two nights in Chama and were surprised to find that all the restaurants (except this one and Subway) were closed by the middle of the afternoon! On a weekend! The train is obviously this town's lifeblood and to be closing restaurants before the train and the return bus arrive back in town is beyond comprehension. So, after cruising the entire town, we settled on the Chama Grill. The dining room was closed, but the drive-thru was open. The wait to order was somewhat long, but when you're hungry and nothing else is open, you'll wait : Thankfully, the food was actually quite delicious and ready by the time we got to the window. We had ordered a green chili burger and the fish and chips meal and both were tasty. The young man at the window was very nice. We pulled into a parking spot in the parking lot and ate while the food was hot.We had only one negative experience, but decided not to take away a star since I know how hard it is to find good help. Only commenting here so the owner can speak with the staff about how inappropriate this was. As I was eating, I watched in my side mirror as one of the employees (who was sitting in his van), got out and relieved himself in the corner by the restaurant. He later walked across the parking lot and I saw he was wearing a Chama Grill shirt, which identified him as an employee. I saw the employees occasionally letting people into the locked restaurant (presumably to use the facilities), so I'm sure they would have let an employee in when he needed to use the restroom."

"Here 's another restaurant review brought to you by a visit to Chama (2019 . (We 're going back for sure at some point! If you 've never been to Chama it 's pretty quaint, and almost feels like you 're on a movie set. I think the Main Street is all of three city blocks, but... it 's full of activity (being a ski resort! ... and history (we rode a coal-engine train! Feeling cold and hungry we stumbled upon this gem... don 't let the exterior fool you. It used to be a drug store then it was converted into a restaurant called LOCAL which serves farm-to-table, local organic dishes. Of course, with me, pizza is always on the menu... but how can you blame me when the visual alone was so inviting... spinach and mushrooms ALWAYS go together, after all. And the employees were all super helpful, giving us their recommendations! (I love playing "ask a stranger! . #gourmetrecovery #lovemygreens #chamalocal #supportlocalsmallbusinesses"
