The FourWay was built as a filling station along Route 66 in 1932; the Wallis family bought it in 1968 and operated it as a Mobil gas station. In 2015, they decided to restore the outside of the building, while Joan Weir opened a restaurant inside with her kids Sam and Haley, serving classic American food with a Mediterranean influence.
Appetizers include fries topped with crumbled Feta, tzatziki and housemade hot sauce, and flash-fried Brussels sprouts with olive oil, lemon, Parmesan and balsamic vinaigrette. Grab a burger “charbroiled to perfection” or opt for a lamb burger.
The dessert menu is short but sweet: Choose from a housemade ice-cream sandwich of vanilla bean ice cream between chocolate graham crackers and fresh strawberries or baklava layered with pecans, cashews, walnuts and drizzled with honey.
