“Went there (party of two) last night for a meal of appetizers and drinks. We ordered the shrimp cocktail hoping for a chunky ceviche-type experience. The flavors were good and just the perfect kick. Our preference is a little less tomato juice and a little more of the chunky ingredients (reason for 4 on food). We also ordered the Queso Fundido. Very good flavors. Love the chorizo and the homemade corn tortillas.

Cadillac marg in a small glass...$19 (yikes!). Good but maybe not worth that price.

Service was excellent.

Downsides on this restaurant in general is how loud it is inside (reason for 3 of atmosphere) and how challenging to park(nothing they can do about parking).

Whoever owns this corner has put wayyyy too many busy restaurants in place for the amount of parking. So, if you want to come here arrive early as the restaurant is popular and they do not take reservations.

I definitely think overall the food is worth it and we will come back.“

“Walked in, it was very dark but it's summer. It was dark, cool and pretty great environment. The cocktails are handcrafted but they are not pretentious. This is a casual and fun environment, they are incredibly friendly, our Mixologist was Kalo and he was awesome. I love this place, I recommend this place for a first date, after work cocktail or anytime. Amazing!“

You can tell she loves helping customers choose from all they have to offer! The burnt ends and brisket was out of this world and the mac and cheese woooah. Fun and cool environment with such good food. Can’t wait to go back to try the drinks and other goodies. Recommend 10/10“

“The Way Station has great food and excellent customer service! The evening team, who I have interacted with the most, are fun and charismatic. Cody and Kia are personable and provide superb customer service. It doesn’t hurt that the food is tasty too! :)

During this month (June), The Way Station is bringing in different local artists to play acoustic sets which has been pleasant. The restaurant/bar has a great indoor and outdoor space for eating and relaxing as you unwind from the day. There are also several TVs around the space, so you can watch your favorite airing sports team.“

“Waited almost 2 hours for food and NEVER received it. Atmosphere was great, Gospel brunch, food would have been probably good if I would have ever received it. But I had to go off to work and make sure we told them it was BAD customer service today. It seems all their attention was on the Big parties that were there at the bigger tables and we were just forgotten about. Oh well, off to work I go. Would have been nice if I could have eaten before I had to hit the clock to work right.“
