Had the beef brisket... it was good but a little fatty. Sauce was good, too. BBQ in general is over priced. Thanks for reply, but that's outrageous... $48 for a little meat and 2 sides.

We hosted an event at Way Station and everyone loved the food, the service was excellent (and easy to coordinate with for set up and planning), and the atmosphere was so fun!

Just an awesome place overall! Great ribs, incredible rotating beer selection, and great layout for enjoying both of the aforementioned. Give them a try, if you haven’t already!

From the rotating beer list, to the stellar food, great service and amazing outdoor beer garden, Way Station is a Fairfax must hit. Lots of live music, a couple fire pits for chilly nights, pet friendly, and a perfect pit stop for bikers. A local fave!

The Way Station makes great use of a former empty lot; a spot for all ages to hang out, from kids to cyclists. I’ve tasted almost all of their offerings and haven’t been disappointed. I love supporting local independent restaurants.

I love the atmosphere at Way Station! It’s casual but the staff are super attentive and friendly. You can bring your dog or kids and sit outside in a communal atmosphere and listen to live music. I love that you can come with a group and always find seating due to the picnic tables. They have great, local rotating taps as well.

The food is incredible, fresh and made from scratch. The food is top quality and everything I have eaten there is DELISH! Staff is so friendly and accommodating and make you feel like you are the most important guest there. Best BBQ around and definitely try the mac and cheese and the loaded tots!

Some of the best BBQ I've ever had - great indoor/outdoor vibe, right at the gateway to West Marin, biking, hiking and an amazing selection of beers on tap!

I love Brian and the crew at The Way Station! The menu has some serious hits (love the Hot Mess) and the beer selection is plentiful. The vibe is exactly The Way I like it....discreetly warm and friendly. Ironically enough, I'm brand new to Marin and The Way Station was the only place (I found) in Fairfax open on New Year's Day. My first visit, and by the time I got there they were out of almost everything. The place was fairly quiet, only a couple of families in the back enjoying some time out of the house with their young kids: rowdy but cheerful. The food (my first Hot Mess!) was, of course, delicious and I was very happy to have a relatively quiet place to enjoy some good food and watch a little football. At some point, though, the kids started to get rowdier and their parents didn't seem to notice. As the volume went up, I appreciated the staff's attempt to communicate with the adults, but they sure didn't seem to appreciate anyone suggesting they were out of line and left in a huff. For my $.02, having bussed and waited tables, I thought Brian, and his staff, couldn't have been nicer (or more discreet) about the whole thing. #aspiringregular

It’s good. Really nice outside area with shade. Sometimes music. BBQ food—try the brisket. Range of beers—too few non-IPA choices for this IPA non-fan but I had a good Kolsch today
