Got the chicken pork brisket. All very good. They should add some greens to the menu.

The ribs, Baked beans and potato salad; We're all wonderful. It's hard to get all of them to taste really good, very seasoned. The ribs were very tender. I would definitely pull out the highway and stop again. It's not that far off the interstate. read more

We love this restaurant! Highly recommend The Loaded Lion grilled cheese. It's stuffed with brisket and an avocado. Delicious!!! My husband enjoyed the brisket and ribs! read more

To be fair, I have never been to this location. But, the other one on SLU campus in Hammond has gone way down. We will never go back. My husband ordered a chopped beef combo. I ordered a one meat dinner plate. Needed to add a drink to that. It totaled $50 before tip. I had the sliced beef as my meal. It was so full of gristle. By the time I cut off the waste, I only had about half of what was served. It was terrible. We have been to this location several times in the past. Even enjoyed the location in Covington before it closed. But we will never go back. read more

I'm a be real honest with you. There is a barbecue station in Independence and I was going practically every week one night. I decided to place an order when I got my order they gave me chicken bites. Fish bites look like they was at the bottom of the barrel and that's what I got the greens. The cabbages didn't taste good and I was highly upset because for the money I paid for It should've been better so no I don't go to the one in Independence nor the one in Hammond read more

Horrible! Independence location. I ordered the brisket sandwich and it's was ALL fat. Only one piece of meat. I ending up throwing it away. I also ordered the brisket quesadilla and it was burnt and also all fat. Very disappointed!!! The Hammond location is 20x better! It's a shame because I literally live two minutes from the Independence location and I am not going back and spend all that money on that food. read more

This a BBQ restaurant. I had the three meat with two sides. It was very good. Would definitely recommend and return. Had a to go order. read more

The brisket is absolutely amazing. As someone who's 7 months pregnant and wanted something fully cooked and not suspicious about the amount of sodium consumption due to them cooking it and not seasoning it over thoroughly. It was so good and the mac and cheese was beyond me I loved it. My dad showed me this place one afternoon and I was stealing pieces off his plate lol. read more

Great BBQ right across the street for SLU. We had ribs, pulled pork, brisket, potato salad, baked beans and everything was wonderful. If you find yourself in Hammond or independent, you should stop in. read more

Rumors of this BBQ joint reached me a while back and I was finally able to test it out for myself. The restaurant is located near Southeastern in a small shopping center, fairly easy to find off the main street. The atmosphere is warm and collegiate, with old photos of the local college teams. There's a couple of sodas outside the standard Pepsi/Cola products, with my fave being the Agave vanilla cream soda. I ordered the Memphis wrap, which is pulled pork and coleslaw...the pulled pork was tender, juicy yet non-greasy. Some of the best pulled pork I've tasted! The coleslaw was ok..I like mine a bit sweeter and creamier. The potato salad was good. I'll definitely be coming back in the future and you won't regret it if you check it out. read more

Can't review the food but will review the service, it's horrible. Waited over 45 minutes for 2 salads, finally asked for our money back and left. They are more worried about the to go orders. cashier Loretta mentioned that she'd ask the kitchen to hold all to go orders to work on ours, then we sat another twenty minutes and still no order. The mgr/owner needs to refocus the staff here, if there is a paying customer in the dining room, their food should come first instead of filing to go orders for customer not even near the building. read more

Food service and atmosphere are always good. One of the best places to eat in independence.

First time at Bar-B-Que Station and I must say the ribs were very tender and flavorful ! The service was great ! The only thing we found was they told us they were st.Lewis style and when we got them they were baby backs ! The prices were about average. So give them a try , I don't think you will be disappointed! read more

This was my second time trying bbq station. I had the huge brisket salad which was filling, delicious and affordable at 11.95. The bbq ranch is absolutely delicious. The brisket was good and not overcooked or hard. They definitely don't skimp on the ingredients. My boyfriend got the loaded lion. It's a grilled cheese stuffed with pulled pork, bacon, avocado and bbq sauce. So delicious and filling. It only cost 8.95. I can't wait to try more with them. read more

Great loaded bbq potato! Quick service!! It's a lil hole in the wall but they are serving some great BBQ!!

We are currently on a cross country move from Boise, ID to Orlando, Fl. While driving through Louisiana, we stopped in the quiet town of Independence. We saw lots of people and cars around the Bar-B-Que Station, thinking, this must be good! The owner Jim, took our order and upon providing our out of state ID's for a beer, he recommended two local brews. My fiance was delighted and selected one. I ordered the brisket salad and my fiance, the pulled pork sandwich. Both were incredible, and HUGE! Just when we thought this place couldn't get better, the Owner came out and presented us a basket of meat samples, a little bit of ribs, some sausage, brisket, and the second local beer saying that my fiance had to try the strawberry beer. What!?!?! I was very taken back by his generosity. He spent some time with us talking about different types of barbeque and told us about how he came to own the restaurant in his home town. His love of this town definitely shows through the smiles of both the employees and customers faces, as well as the food! Thank you Jim for the incredible meal and for the southern hospitality! read more

No menu on display above the registers and now I know why. The girl behind the register was nice ..she asked me my name, but after that she kept getting my order wrong. Eventually she got it right..two chopped beef sandwiches and a large cole slaw. Over 29 bucks! Good luck staying open! Screw me once... read more

Ordered 2 brisket burgers a small potato salad and small baked beans over the phone for pickup. The prices on line were 7.95 for burger and 2.25 for sides. I was not told of the price increase at the time of ordering. The total of our bill at pickup was a few cents short of $40. I understand price increases but too double prices and not update website is just wrong. The burgers were ok but not worth $15 dollars each. The bacon was too tough to chew and the brisket was dried out. The burger patties were big but compact tough to chew and flavorless. I don't think I'll be back and will never have the brisket burger again. I did like the bbq sauce it was tasty read more

It was my fist time going there & I have to say they were nice. I ordered St. Louis style Ribs & I received BABY BACKS(now where do they do that at?)! I wasn't PLEASED, also the baked beans had TOO MUCH CELERY(all u taste is CELERY & no Baked Beans).i do have to say that the Baby Backs were tender, but that's about all I can say now. So I hope this helps someone. read more

Awesome. My burger safari had me in the boot of Louisiana today. I went to Yelp and there was nothing in my area and I had to send out a hail Mary to my buddy Todd for help. His web source had a hit on the Brisket Burger here so I bee lined it to Bar-B-Que Station. Restaurants in old gas stations get 3 stars even if the food sucks. This place delivers and has ambiance. I love it. To/From New Orleans or Baton Rouge? It's worth the 2 mile detour East of I-55....... read more

Not one employee was wearing a mask or gloves and other patrons were not asked to wear a face covering. I did not appreciate the man behind me coughing up a lung. That's when I decided to wait outside. Was told order would take 20 minutes at 6:00....did not pull out the parking lot til 7:15. Extremely frustrating. Wouldn't have minded the slightest bit if they would've told me an hour wait, but they didn't. I'm assuming the meat was pretty much cooked so I'm not sure why it took so long to box up. I'd love to think it was because they were overwhelmed with orders. But again, I sat for over an hour and saw everything. That just wasn't the case. The nachos were delicious but nothing worth waiting an hour for. The chicken didn't have much of a taste at all and the brisket was a bit chewy. read more

Oh my gosh... what a great experience! We ate outside under the old gas station canopy in the summertime. This was our first time here and we ordered a variety of food to get a good sample of their style. Son number one got a blackened chicken sandwich that wasn't dressed as ordered... but he still enjoyed it. Son #2 is a little younger and had the kid's burger and is already asking when we can return! My daughter got the roast beef on bun and raved about the gravy. The wife's salad was full of more croutons than lettuce and a little disappointing, too bad she didn't get the brisket salad. And finally, I had the brisket burger, not the ultimate... but it was still the ultimate! Hands down.. it is my new favorite burger. We will definitely be back... and soon. read more

Always great food and nice staff! We come to BBQ station often as we have a permanent camper in the area to come a few times a year. The Muffaletta is my favorite and my family likes the BBQ! read more

The food was fresh and hot! We got the brisket fries and brisket burger and they did not disappoint. FYI: get a side of the bbq ranch.

Ok folks!! This is hands-down the best BBQ place in the area. It's tucked in and slightly hard to find near the campus but once you go there the first time your car will drive it's-self there the next time you have a hankering for good BBQ. Let me tell you.... The pulled pork was so good; great flavor, moist, and NOT greasy! The sauce that came on the side was quite good, it was tangy and had a hint of sweetness. The large steak cut fries were seasoned to perfection and the coleslaw was good. My friend thought the coleslaw was delicious but I personally like mine slightly creamer. However I enjoyed it and would totally eat it again. Oh and just a little something else... They had a selection of bottled beers and Stubborn soda in the soda fountain; vanilla agave cream and black cherry with terragon! Who does that?! The vanilla agave cream was to die for!! Yumm! Now one last thing.... It was my last night in town and I gave my compliments to the chef. He was disappointed that I wouldn't be able to visit again and try his ribs. This man sent me home with a whole 1/2 rack of ribs to try! My friend and I shared them the next day as I was packing up to leave town. The rub added great flavor and they were fall off the bone good! That's Lagniappe for ya folks! Go patronize this place! You can thank me later! read more

For a local Eatery..Bar-B-Que Station is really good!! The wife wanted BBQ, so we drove the 35 minutes to Independence,LA. It was definitely worth it! The restaurant is quaint but very clean. We had ribs, baked beans and potato salad. All of it was delicious! The ribs were extremely tender, a dry rub with bbq sauce on the side. The baked beans were awesome at the very least, contained pulled pork and sausage and had a great flavor. When we want BBQ- we'll be coming back with out a doubt!! Staff was extremely friendly and the food was delivered to our table within a matter of minutes. read more

I lived in Independence in the early 60's and every once in a while I get off I-55 and drive by the house my parents built...the blue one across from Mater Dolorosa. My husband and I were coming back from a wedding in New Orleans and decided to try the barbecue place in my old town which I had read about on Yelp. We both got the brisket burger, and it was all everyone has said and more! I'll never have to talk him into going down memory lane in Independence again. Fabulous! And I'm going to tell everyone I know in the Jackson, MS area to give it a try. read more

While traveling we found this spot on Yelp. The reviews were good so we decided to stop and try it for ourselves. We were not disappointed! The place was clean, including the bathrooms; the food was great and the staff was friendly. My wife got the chop beef salad and I got the brisket burger. There was so much food we should have shared! Note: the brisket burger has a huge beef patty and chopped brisket. I didn't realize that when ordering and thought it was just brisket as the protein. The servers were great and took time to give all four kids we had with us the wifi password for their iPads. I don't give 5 stars often but for the quality of the food, cleanliness, and service this place is more than deserving. read more

An old gas station they turned into a barbecue joint in quaint, historic Independence, LA. We were attended to by Sophia, who is excellent. I got the brisket plate with baked beans & potato salad. Penny got the ribs, and let me have one. Everything was awesome, and we got stuffed for $27. Only 50 miles from New Orleans, you should definitely come here and eat this stuff. Clean bathroom, friendly, inviting atmosphere, some tables outside, we really enjoyed our lunch. read more

Awesome ribs and brisket also their salads are amazing plus the seafood is top notch and my favorite the brisket burger is my all-time favorite burger.... read more

Not your traditional BBQ. It's more of a smoke house, with great brisket, pulled pork, burgers, chicken and just enough other variety to round out the menu. If you're feeling adventurous (and not due for a cholesterol screening), check out the one-of-a-kind brisket burger! My go-to is either a brisket salad or a Memphis wrap. Can't go wrong with just about anything. read more

Great brisket. Portions are on point as well. Love the burnt ends of the brisket. I drive from Ponchatoula to this spot at least once a week maybe two. That monster burger is no joke, roll up your sleeves and get busy! I always get an extra pound of brisket so I can enjoy it over the next couple days after visiting this place. Give it a try. read more

tastey bbq on a toasted bun that just makes it better. Reasonable quick service. One of our favorite stops.

This is one of my favorite places in town. I love their shrimp po-boy and brisket. The flavors are always fresh. I always try and change up the combinations of sides with what I order. I love their mozzarella sticks and they are generous on sauce as well. The smell of the food are incredible. Everyone is kind and with a smile all the time it makes you feel at home. It is my go to place for a quick bite to eat. read more
