First time eating there with my Son and his Girlfriend. Maggie our server was awesome ask her what was good she said the ribs was her favorite. I asked about wings she said that was a favorite of hers to. So I decided to go for both. Wow both were awesome but the Jerk wings was to die for. Will be back for more ask for Maggie great server.

Cozy (small) restaurant with excellent some BBQ/smoked meat options. 6 seat bar with engaging & friendly owner tending bar. Definitely coming back in warmer weather to check out the rooftop dining area.Vegetarian options: It's all about the BBQ, but there are veg options like bean burger, mac n cheese, potato tacos, fried green beans or okra, etc

Ordered through DoorDash and was missing a sauce. I called the store and one of the owners offered to personally deliver it to my apartment free of charge. Went above and beyond for such a minor incident. Will be ordering again soon!

Ok. That was some of the best brisket and ribs I’ve ever had. Seriously good food and portions at a reasonable price. Fried okra was great also. We will be back again soon.

Howard Station is the absolute BEST on all accounts! The smoked Mac and cheese, the Ribs and Wings are to die for. Exceptional service and Chelsea the owner is the best! Real, friendly, and professional! I strongly recommend it this BBQ Joint and will definitely be back every time we're in Boone! Thanks Howard Station for a great experience!

The best experience I have ever had at a restaurant. We love a small family business and we had the absolute pleasure to meet the husband & wife of Howard Station. My boyfriend is OBSESSED with wings & BBQ & reviews wings everywhere we go. He could not believe how amazing the wings were. He even rated them on 9.9 when we filmed his first reaction. Not only is the food & drinks amazing, but the owners are ONE. OF. A. KIND. The heart of this business is truly inspiring to watch these two talk about their business. WE WILL 100% BE BACK AND WILL BE TELLING EVERYONE WE KNOW!

Cool brick building with a rooftop patio. Staff was very friendly. Food was good. Would've rated a 5 star except for their kitchen seemed to be slow across the board.

My wife and I made the trek to do a day trip to watch all the beautiful colors this time of year one sees throughout the blue ridge mountains . To the important part , Howard Station is a must stop whether you are a local or from out of town . As soon as you enter you will be warmly greeted and given seating options . We chose to sit at the bar and were given excellent service . From how quickly we were given our drinks to the turn around on ordering and receiving our food , it was exceptional !!! I chose to try the maple bacon wings . Guys , I could eat a bucket of these !! They come out golden brown , lightly crisped on the outside and super tender smoked chicken meat on the inside . The dry rub - maple complement each other immensely well, you get salty , you get sweet, you get maple syrup smells , it's an A+ experience in addition to the warm safe ambiance . Treat yourself to Howard Station, it's a must try!

This restaurant was located closed to ASU, and we try it for their yelp rank number one in this town, overall impressed was their tacos and chicken wings, we also had their ribs quiet tender, and offering different kind of barbecue sauce. Also they had cheese popper that was delicious. Service was very attentive, they promptly serve you drinks. Hostess also very nice greeting and seat you quickly. Ambiance has College vibe, cabin feel wood structure. We will be back to eat again
