What User likes about Way Station:
Good. Really nice outdoor area with shade. Sometimes music. BBQ Food? Try the Brisket. Beer variety? too few non-IPA decisions for this IPA non-fan, but I had a good Kolsch today View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Way Station:
I tried a variety of meats at this restaurant and was disappointed. Despite the hype, the BBQ chicken was tough and lacked flavor. The ribs had a strange texture that I couldn't get past. Unfortunately, everything ended up in the trash because neither myself nor my friend could stomach it. Maybe it was just an off day for the kitchen. View all feedback.
