Recent Reviews
Junction has become an absolute staple of the neighborhood. The food is always good, the drinks are continually solid, and you can’t beat the location. It’s one of the last great happy hour spots in the area. Whenever we’re walking around and we feel like stopping somewhere, our default is the junction.
Highly recommend trying their entire daily/weekly special menu.

Love this place! The staff are great, really friendly and responsive. The food isn't anything amazing but it is always tasty and great comfort food after a long day. They have a decent selection of vegetarian options. There is a fun buzz here after work, lots of people hanging out. The setup is great too with a really long bar so it feels very social.
