Great food. The atmosphere was great as well. Wonderful staff with a great service . You can enjoy the views of river and ships passing by. The food was delicious. We tried the fresh fishes from the Great Lakes. We had plenty of parking spaces. Definitely would recommend it . I’m coming for a second time as well.

We are new to the Marysville area, but we've found the Junction Buoy to be our new favorite place! At first glance, the place can seem a little dated. It's been there a long time and has had several additions. The parking can seem jammed, too. But don't let these things put you off ... they just add to the experience. We have been to the Junction Buoy now about 6 or 7 times and have never had a bad meal or poor service. Never had to wait more than 5 minutes to be seated. Never had to wait too long for our order either. Their fish is excellent. The smash burger is absolutely delicious. My wife favors the wraps. My favorite is the Caprese pasta. The bar selection is good with War Water on tap. There are views of the River and freighter traffic from every table. Prices are good, too. Appetizer, 2 drinks, 2 dinners for around 60.

I liked the vibe of this restaurant. I like that it reminds me of a restaurant when I was a kid. It had an older feel to it, but in a good way. I hope they don't modernize it in the future because I liked everything about how it looked and felt inside. Food was good!

One of my favorite restaurants in the area. The bucket drinks are our go to. They brought back the Caprese Pasta which is a must try. Service is always great. View is great. Such a nice little restaurant.

Great seat at the bar for a special linch with my grandkids. Had the CBA sandwich which was very tasty. Kids meals were good and they loved every bite! (Small chicken tenders for the kids but still delicious)

If you want to eat or have a few drink, kick back, relax & enjoy the super close-up views of the Great Lakes Freighters as the motor by, this your place. It's a bit small, but cozy. Great atmosphere. I've never run into any problems with food/service/staff/guests. Everyone we've met here, always friendly.
