We absolutely love this place! The food, service and atmosphere are the best there is. Jose and Bruce are so nice and welcoming. The burgers and homemade onion rings are my favorites.

This place is awesome! Very simply the best burger I've ever had. And everyone in our group said the same. Exceptional service, very friendly. The onion rings and tator tots were also worth a mention.

Interesting place. Food was excellent and the menu was huge. Really had a hard time deciding what to get because so many things sounded so good. The chicken Caesar salad and meatloaf sandwich were both excellent. I would definitely go back. Thank you very much!

This is a little hole on-the-wall, but the food and the service are definitely worth it. You can customize your hamburger or mac & cheese with a large variety of toppings. I asked for my burger to be cooked medium well and it was perfect. My friend had the mac & cheese and she was impressed. If you are not a stickler for decor and ambience, I absolutely recommend this place.

Wheelchair accessibility: Although there is a sitting area on the first level, when we were there, we were seated up stairs by the bar. It's my feeling (by the way we were treated) that they would not object to serving someone in a wheelchair, in the down stairs area.

Don’t normally leave reviews unless it’s amazing and let’s just say that IT WAS AMAZING! Was a little weird going up the stairs but it was amazing I loved it! Treated my dog like a queen! Food was amazing! I got the garlic fries with Mac n cheese. The Mac n cheese was a little bland so I put the leftover garlic Parmesan seasoning on it and I loved it :D! Stop looking for your dinner spot because this is it! :DDDD

This place is weird for sure. When I found the restaurant, i
walked through this cute courtyard and then through the door to the restaurant on the right. My first impression was “is this a motel”? Someone came down and told us to go upstairs. The decor looked…interesting!

Anyway, we ordered All American burger with sweet potato fries. The burger was good but nothing special. Sweet potato fries were undercooked but they made me another batch. Chicken and cheese quesadilla was ok as well. I had a frozen mango margarita. I didn’t taste much alcohol and it tasted weird so i didn’t finish my drink.

There’s no formal waitstaff. The kitchen staff or whoever that one guy was seem not knowing who ordered what at what table!!!

The best part of my first visit was the friendly gentleman but that’s about it.

Burger and French fries were good. The dining area is upstairs. A strange place with a strange vibe.

There is no way this place hasn’t been shut down by California health department. We had to walk over a dog bed to get to our table. There were 2 dogs laying in a dog bed on top of the bar!!! Place smelled terrible. We had to get up and leave. For your safety, do not go here.

Boomerangs is the perfect place to grab a delicious burger and a drink! They are known for whiskey and me and my partner always share a whiskey flight when we come in. The owners are so nice and the food is soo good! My favorite is the PB and J burger. We also love their happy hour: great apps and drink specials! I always bring my friends and family here when they come into town and everyone loves it!

My go-to spot for some serotonin. I wish I knew the two people’s names who run the joint, but they’ve always been lovely to interact with. I’ve ordered something different every time and everything I’ve had has been fantastic. Creative and expansive menu, great drinks that are well priced, an excellent selection of booze, awesome customer service, and fun ambiance that make this place feel home-y. Can’t recommend enough!

My partner and I LOVE this place for their burgers, they always come out perfect. I have no complaints about this establishment, their quality food, or the wonderful people that run it, (Bruce is the sweetest.)However *WARNING FOR ORDERING DELIVERY* through any of the apps like Uber. Many drivers are shady and dishonest and will STEAL your order and you will only find out about it an hour later when customer service calls you to cancel your order without any consequences or accountability. This is highly frustrating when you have made plans around your dinner just to have it canceled and you have to waste time and make last minute adjustments, but it’s not the fault of the restaurant at all. There is no way to report this kind of issue with the Uber delivery platform, or to have the driver take responsibility for their theft.But don’t let the shady delivery drivers deter anyone from trying this restaurant, because it is a great experience for some great eats.Love, a loyal boomerang customer
