Happy 7th anniversary to this establishment. I had a great experience at this BBQ smokehouse. I believe the owner’s name was Brian and I can only give him praises for his personality and level of service. I was just disappointed that he didn’t recognize my Lewis Grizzard references since he said that he had worked at the Atlanta Journal Constitution after graduating from Georgia State in the 90’s. With a 12 hour smoke on his brisket, it was a sweet cherry filled taste on some of the tenderest cuts I’ve had in some time. The patio was filled with games and live music for the occasion. I had pleasant conversations with Luna Worldcast, a duo with folk vibes representing Breedlove Guitars and hailing from New Jersey and Indiana. Some soul music was delivered and accepted. I love Fairfax and would definitely return in a heartbeat if I could have found the right residence to settle upon. Keep up the good works folks!

Great beer selection!! The Way Station is an absolute gem at the gateway to West Marin! The atmosphere is perfect—spacious outdoor seating that’s both family-friendly and inviting. The BBQ is phenomenal, with rich, smoky flavors that are clearly crafted with care. I also ordered their Mac-n-Cheese and their fries… both are freaking amazing and gave that extra side of “comfort” to my lunch. The beer garden offers a fantastic selection, making it an ideal spot to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The staff is friendly and attentive, adding to the warm and welcoming vibe. Whether you’re passing through or looking for a place to gather with friends and family, the Way Station is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

My party got Totchos with pulled pork (based on a recommendation), rib rack, mac & cheese, and beef brisket plate.
We really liked the Totchos – especially the tater tots! The brisket is good but chewy in my opinion. It was really soft and would break when poked by the fork! 5 oz was small for a party of four; I guess we should have gotten two orders.
The ribs were falling off the bone. It was great.

The mac & cheese could be better. It did seem like it was just heated up and given to us since the cheese wasn’t gooey at any point in time.

The food is lacking but the service and atmosphere were great. If you’re looking for good BBQ this isn’t it, but maybe to grab a drink and hang out w/friends. I ordered the fried pickles for the appetizer, brisket w/side of coleslaw & Mac & cheese. We got our appetizer after our meal, which wasn’t a huge deal but common appetizers should be first. The brisket was tasteless and mushy, it was screaming for some help with flavor! The Mac & cheese was so dry & taste less as well, it really needed help with some comfort of creamy cheese & something to give it taste. But the fried pickles were good & the coleslaw wasn’t horrible, but also lacking in flavor. The food appeals to the eyes until you really get into it, I could tell right off the bat the mac & cheese needed some help.

We went to Way Station for an impromptu dinner date – and it was definitely worth it! As we walked in we were greeted with live music and a very friendly host/bartender. She was very welcoming, warm and genuinely happy we came in. We didn’t plan on grabbing a drink, let alone eating there – but we felt so comfortable that we ended up grabbing two of the Biggie’s Bodacious Bountiful Berry Blast sour IPA’s and I was the perfect combo to our outstandingly smoky pulled pork sandwich. The meat was cooked perfectly, buns weren’t soggy and they didn’t overload the coleslaw – the bbq sauce alone is Gold Star
HIGHLY recommended this place
P.s. we got lucky and it wasn’t too crowded 😉

Delicious bbq & sides, relaxing outdoor seating and would have been great except cook forgot half our order and they seem to have had kids issues in the past (due to signage). Staff did their best to apologize with free cookies.

Went there because of a referral. Very glad we did. We had Smoked Chicken Wings, Tator Tots with Smoked Brisket and Fries. Everything was delicious and the table server was efficient and had an awesome personality, not found often in youth. Just as we were finishing up, the musical group called Bluegrass 1948 started playing. Haven’t been to a live concert in years. We had to leave, but what we heard was fantastic .

Delicious food.
Cobb salad was huge, delicious smoked bacon X2 cheeses and sliced boiled egg. Others in our party had a brisket and ribs with X2 sides sharing platter with Tata tots and spicy baked beans. The ribs were large, meaty and tasty. The brisket was succulent and full of flavour. Husband had a local pale ale ( forgot the name) but was really good.
Staff were so friendly and chatty, even the chef came out to say hello.
Highly recommend, you won’t have room for dessert ☺️

I simply don’t think there is a better spot in Marin, that checks all these boxes: beer garden, iconic burgers, full beer tap with local/local-ish options from Lagers to Hazy IPAs and always a Nitro on rotation, live music on weekends and convenient parking (for both cars and bikes )…
