While living in the South (of the USA), I developed an affection for buttermilk biscuits and everything deep-fried: fried chicken, fried mac ‘n’ cheese, fried oreos, fried cheesecakes, fried burgers, and the list goes on and on. While Boxing Cat Brewery can’t compete with Southern state fairs in terms of deep-fried food variety, this restaurant does offer some decent Southern comfort dishes worth your stomach space.

Grilled Steak Salad (65 RMB) with mixed greens, blue cheese, grilled mushrooms, fried shallots, roasted baby tomatoes and buttermilk roast tomato dressing. Boxing Cat serves American (read: huge) portions. The salad is overall ok, though the steak is a bit too tough to chew.

BCB’s Burger Masterpiece (80 RMB) with grilled mushrooms, sauteed onions, roasted tomatoes, guacamole, cheddar and garlic aioli. Not bad, but I much preferred the burgers over at Bistro Burger, which are juicier, more flavorful, and better looking. The thick cut fries, on the other hand, are excellent and come automatically with the burgers.

Reuben the Almighty (80 RMB), lean brisket, sliced and stacked up high on rye bread with Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, homemade Russian dressing & whole grain mustard. Too salty for me.
