The beloved Fremont Diner has been reborn as Boxcar Fried Chicken and Biscuits.

Owners Erika and Chad Harris closed Sonoma’s much-loved Southern-inspired diner in late June saying the spot was a victim of its own success. Now, however, they’re back in business with a pared-down menu featuring some of their most popular dishes — fried chicken, biscuits, sandwiches, and sides like pimento cheese, collard greens and baked beans.
