Boomerang’s Bar & Grill

My mother suggested this place because she used to go there years ago with her best friend. She normally doesn’t suggest things for my boyfriend and I, but this did turn out to be good but this time, she was completely right!
This place was so delicious so friendly and so much fun! I plan on going there many more times to come. We went right around 5 o’clock so it was kind of you know sparce but then around a quarter after 6 it was really busy, and by the way this was a Wednesday.
Friendly staff, funny Manager /​Owner, great bar area outside patio for you smokers, and great food. I had the linguine with white clam sauce absolutely stunningly delicious! My boyfriend had chicken alfredo with tortellini which he said he was shocked because (he’s a chef) it was so deliciously tasty. It came with a choice of soup or salad and they’re known for their great soups but the salad was so yummy with the mixed greens and the chi chi beans and all that fun!
We are definitely going back, and soon. I need to try those soups and cocktail list!

I love this low key joint. Amazing soups, salads, fish fry, pastas, they have cinnamon ice cream! Wholesome, quality, comfort food at an amazing price. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants.

Truly a total disappointment. We were the only people there and it took over 50 minutes to receive our breaded pork chop and chicken dish. After 30 minutes the waitress said our food was being plated, 20 minutes later still no food.
Go somewhere else. Way to ruin my evening Boomerangs.

Had some fish frys, with potatoes, Cole slaw and mac salad. We had new English clam chowder and a bowl of French onion soup. Both were great. The fish dinners were great too. A good choice for a Friday dinner pick up.

Been twice this week. Bar selection legit. Food legit. Service is spotty especially when you’re one of few there for lunch. I had an incredible bowl of french onion soup that was one of my favorites in this city. My friend got a «sea dog» which was actually a really good fish sandwich. The honey brined fried chicken was also really delicious and very meaty!

Nice atmosphere at the bar. Attentive service with a pleasant mood. We were happy with the 2 for 1 happy hour special on beers. We ordered Two appetizers: chicken wings and beans & greens. Medium wings served hot and fresh from the kitchen with just the right amount of sauce. The spinach in the beans& greens was still crisp but done just right. Tasty garlic flavor.
The only disappointment was that my Aussie husband was hoping Boomerang was an Australian bar but the only Australian thing was the name.
He would come back.

I am truly baffled by the amount of good reviews for this restaurant. My friends and I went out for dinner here on a whim, and I left feeling like I needed to go to another restaurant to salvage the evening. At every point in our dinner, I hoped something would turn it around, but to no avail. We walked in to an inauspicious doorway and tried to find the hostess stand as eyes from the bar followed our entire trek. We were brought to a table in the side room that smelled sour, with windows that had the largest cobwebs I’ve ever seen. We waited at least 10 minutes to get our drink order taken in a room with one other table. Our server was friendly, but he seemed confused the entirety of our stay. We ordered our entrees which the menu says comes with a choice of soup or salad… we were quickly corrected that only one of our three entrees comes with a choice of soup or salad and that one lucky entrée only could have the soup of the day without an extra charge. The food was really mediocre (contrary to the raving reviews) and after our plates were cleared it took 25 minutes to even get the server to come back to tell him we wanted the check. I’ve been a server so I am aware that things can get crazy, but when you have very little else to distract the customer (ie great décor and/​or food) service is a big deal.

Hidden jem of the westside. Clams are 5 star. Buffalo chicken wing soup is great. Linguine and clam sauce is great. CLAMS CASINO ELEGANTE… SENT FROM HEAVEN. Service is great. Atmosphere is great. Five star.

A great place to eat… Monday’s 6 $ a doz. Clams!!! Please don’t come. I don’t want to wait:)

We just recently went there and there was 4 people in my party. The atmosphere was great and it smelled delicious when we walked in. We heard the place had great seafood and we couldnt wait to try it out. We went to the hostess station and they told us to wait at the bar because it would be a few minutes for a table. As we were waiting we had a few cocktails. The bartender was an older lady who looked frazzled by the 8 people sitting at the bar. After a half hour wait and watching tables leave and them sitting everyone else, we approached the hostess stand the man said give me one minute and walked away. We waited another 10 minutes before we got up and left. Horrible service. Probably will never return again.

This is truly a hidden gem! Ten of us went last Friday night and as usual, all of the food was super and the service was exceptional!
My only wish is that they would bring back the grilled cheese… was the best grilled cheese ever! There are many of us wishing it would return to the menu

This was our choice to introduce a group of hungry out of towners to some local food favorites along with some standard fare.
Our service was excellent from the moment we walked in to the time we left. We were a party of eight on a busy Saturday night.
We started off with the appetizer sampler platter and assorted baked breads. The sampler platter was a hit (pizza logs, mozzarella sticks, buffalo batter mushroom caps and shrimp), but the breads were nothing special other than the spinach and melted mozzarella which was a hit. A bowl of chicken wing soup was ordered and very much enjoyed. Our waiter even pointed out that some of the dinners came with a choice of a cup of soup or salad if he’d prefer the cup. How nice! Usually you discover this uninformed and after the fact.
Our entrees ran the gamut, and some fared much better than others. The highlights were: the cheeseburger salad, beer battered fish fry and the beef on weck.
The Italian dishes: eggplant parmesan and a vegetable pasta were not hits.
The vegetables in the pasta were fresh and al denté, the pasta was a bit mushy and the sauce was without much flavor (a bit of roasted garlic would have helped!). The eggplant was cut too thin and too heavily breaded… The breading is pretty much what you tasted along with the highly acidic sauce. (We love Santasero’s eggplant parm just down the street).
If you eat local (and not the Italian options), this is a good choice and value!

Went to Boomerangs again, Friday night, about 90% capacity, not crazy. Food was very good as usual. I had the crabcake salad which was awesome. Negatives, no kids menu, watching my 7 year old attempt to eat a burger as big as his head was quite amusing. Server was nice, reservation got right in. Try this place out, kind of a hidden gem!

This place never disappoints! Monday they have a dozen clams (raw, steamed, or casino) for $ 6! They always have fresh and delicous seafood plus the service is just fantastic. The property who work there seem to genuinely enjoy it and care about giving great service whether you’re a regular or a first timer!

We come to Boomerangs regularly for caudal dining. The food is always well-​prepared and quite a bargain, with virtually everything on the menu being around $ 10.
Tonight, I had the veggie burger with cheese, which was served on a nice toasted roll with onion, leaf lettuce, and tomato (this is not on the menu for some reason, but they almost always have them). There are a number of other VEGETARIAN options on the menu, including a few pasta dishes, a portobello sandwich, and some salads.
The folks I was dining with tried the broiled fish and something called a «Davey Crockett” – a cheeseburger topped with fried bologna. Both like their meals a lot.
Every night of the week, this place seems to be quite busy, so I know we’re not the only boss who appreciate the quality food at a good price.

This is the best resturant I’ve ever been to. I had a teacher in high school who’s uncle owns this resturant. We went there as a class on our Local History fiel trip for lunch. I have been here many times. The food is excellent as well as tbe survice. If you’re looking to eat fantastic food on a budget Boomeranges is the place for you.

Well of my past 4 tries of boomerangs, only 1 was good. The last consisted of the worst beef on weck. I have ever had. Overcooked, dry, somewhat grizzled and no au jou. Yes it is cheap but in this case you get what you pay for. The other two bad meals were the steak… tough, chewy and grizzled. The other the liver just awful… again tough, veiny and uneatable. So why did I go back… with friends who go there. Stick to the pasta dishes and you’ll be alright.

Well! The boyfriend drove by here earlier in the day and thought it looked interesting. So we headed out for dinner. Arrived a few minutes after 6pm. We entered the bar area and went to the stand that said please wait to be seated. Now there are only 5 – 6 tables and one was being cleaned off. We waited almost 15 minutes to be seated as the host and waitress kept disappearing… the patrons at the bar whom I’m assuming were regulars finally were looking at us and looking at the dining room. and one of the customers said…“oh for pete’s sake, hon I’ll seat you!” (lol) so she grabbed 2 menus and sat us. Then we sat there another 10 min and she came over with a couple juice glasses with warm water. It obviously bothered her we were waiting! We should have took our cue right then — Another 15 minutes went by. no one came for a drink order — so by this time I’m getting a bit irritated… as we realized there was only 1 waitress (fine as there were only 5 small tables). She was CLEANING off an empty table and I finally got up and went over and said…“any chance you can come over to our table and take our order?” (lordy!) «Sure, just a minute» (???) WHAT? lol I’m laughing now as it was quite pitiful. Soooo she takes our order — stuffed mushrooms for an app and I had veggie burger and boyfriend had garlic wings. Long and short of this entire post of mine… it was 7:30 and our dinner still had not arrived! The mushrooms arrived after an hour…(again by this time there were 3 tables of 2, including us!
The waitress came over at 7:34 to say it would be right up… I said. forget it… give us the wings to go and forget the burger as they don’t hold up as ‘to go’ orders etc. The host guy then came over and apologized, brought our bill… took off my burger and the mushrooms and said…“Please come back… don’t judge us on this” Uhm… too late!
I think what bothered us the most as no excuse or real apology ever came out of the waitresses mouth… maybe she was avoiding us. but at least come over and say something even that they were shorthanded!

Best things: extensive menu with a wide variety of food. Prices are incredibly reasonable especially for the quality. Excellent and professional waitstaff. I enjoyed coming here because it had a «townie» feel which is hard to find in the city.
While my meal was good, it was not exceptional. I had pasta which was a tad on the oily side but the flavor was good (I just didn’t want to look at what I was eating). I will definitely be going back to try other dishes.
I recommend this restaurant for people who live and dine in the city but are looking for a more casual, lowkey and reasonably-​priced city restaurant.

Someplaces do some things really well. I got introduced to Boomerangs from a very good friend. It was love at first crabcake. Good, honest food, without breaking the bank. They do a variety of seafoods and pastas pretty well, but it is awfull hard to do better than the Crabcake dinner (3 good sized cakes) with fries and coleslaw for $ 10, add a cool refereshing adult beverarge and if that doesn’t perk you up, you need a checkup
