Between The Buoys in Missouri

"We had a great time. The burgers were so fresh and so delicious. The bubble station and interactive toys for the kids were a nice touch, our kids loved playing with them. The band was great too! The atmosphere is a complete summer vibe and it’s clear they’re doing a ton of work to create a whole experience for the customer, not just serving amazing food. We can’t wait to be back all summer long. Love that they have a brunch option as well."

"Great drinks and sandwiches. Wonderful atmosphere next to the lake. The nachos were so good and loaded with toppings."

"Ate here for the first time today and it was so good! Everything tasted so fresh! I had the chicken fingers and fries and the pretzel with cheese bites! The drinks were delicious!"

"We love the atmosphere. Being able to enjoy the water and listen to the music is relaxing. The food was great. We thought the smash burgers we ordered was a little to salty. But they were great! We will definitely be back!!"

"Great experience. A little pricy after you pay the $6 entrance fee but free music made it worthwhile. They also have a few activities like connect 4 and big jenga."

"I'm a BIG fan of restaurants on a marina. The ability to drive there or take the boat across the lake makes for an excellent experience. We had the Smash Burgers and they were perfect. Seasoned fries and sweet potato "waffle" fries were a great accompaniment to the burgers. Tried the pulled pork and it did not disappoint. Live music at night that turned it all into a party. There were several themed drinks that were just right along with a large number of beer choices (draft and cans). Our food barely scratched the surface of the menu, making it easy to plan return trips. All of the staff were pleasant and working very hard to take care of the customers (large crowd for dinner and the live music). Looking forward to giving the Sunday Brunch a spin. Cost was well below what I expected, being on an active marina. Several boat slips available for customers to park in. Smithville Lake has always been a great visit and now "Between the Buoys" will give us a place to dine "on" the water."

"Great food and much appreciated friendly service! The lake is a difficult location to provide quality food and drinks. So far I’m impressed. Looking forward to them bringing back live music. We will be supporting this hard working business all season!"

"Directly on the water/dock. The portions were large, the wraps were good. We ordered 2 wraps, 1 side of fries, 1 beer, and 1 Paloma and it was $42. Quick service. Plenty of seating during the time we were there. Live music. I would definitely return. We did pay $7 to enter the marina area, plenty of parking."
