Buoy 9 Restaurant & Lounge

This restaurant has become something of an institution. It serves local fishermen who sail from the Hammond boat basin. Its bar serves drinkers and gamblers from the area not to mention campers at the Fort Stevens campgrounds. There are decent sandwiches and salads and red meat entrees.  We enjoy the seafood. We heard a customer ask a waitress which seafood wasn't frozen. She informed him Buoy 9 doesn't serve fish that has bern frozen.  Wine list isn't great. Beer list not bad. Service usually good.

Good atmosphere and good food! My wife and I had fish and chips. She had cod, while I had halibut. Both were lightly battered and not oily. The fries were real potatoes and tasty! The oil that was there was not old or off tasting. It was like eating at the neighborhood bar and grill only we didn't know anybody. The food was great! We'll definitely be back!

Great food, huge portions. I split the fish and chips and a bowl of their fabulous clam chowder. Our friends had the soup, salad, bread combo and the meatloaf sandwich. All of our meals were delicious and fresh. Great local flavor and excellent people watching. Beach folk are awesome.
