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 l...
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 Vegetarian options: You have to try the salads, the garlic broccoli and the baked beans although their tater tots and fries are my favorite!! Go all in with the Totchos — epic!! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options, multiple vegetarian dishes Parking: Most convenient parking in town. Just perfect. Kid-friendliness: Kids seem to have a great time here! You can spot them coloring and enjoying some of the games...
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 ;
The service and atmosphere here were very nice. The food seemed over priced to me, but eating out is generally expensive in this area. I'd come here again but likely more for appetizers and drinks and not for a regular meal. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $20–30 Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

Completely mediocre BBQ, unfriendly to families and kids actually hostile towards children behaving as...children which is strange given they have an outside area and are in a heavily family oriented part of Marin. I can think of many, many other places I'd rather spend my money. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner
