This place was really cool. Very old time diner feel and the price was great for lunch with my wife. The food tasted great and the staff was very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend it!

The Boom-a-rang is a bit of a throwback to the days of drive-ins and diners. Nothing fancy or pretentious just good greasy food like burgers, fries, and fried catfish. The service was fast and friendly.

Love the burger basket! You cant beat the price, and the food is delicious. Their drink mix is always spot on, and the staff always very pleasant. We love this little diner!

I had the grilled chicken sandwich. It had good flavor but was burnt a little. My husband ordered the patty melt. It was burnt pretty bad. We had the pickle-o for appetizers, they tasted really good.

Food was very good, and the staff was very friendly. A little pricey, but still very good.

Its a cute Cafe, however none of the workers from what I could see were properly wearing their face masks. The food is over priced but tasted okay. It is wheel chair accessible, but is difficult to squeeze one in the front door.

This is such a great place for a meal. Prices are very reasonable, food is delicious, service is almost always excellent (sometimes they are short handed and its slow), ambiance is amazing-Marilyn and Elvis meets Billy the Kid and Jesse James. Visit and youll understand!The only dish I recommend is all of them. . . Its that good.

First time eating here, had heard it was pretty good and it was. Had the big breakfast with eggs and bacon and hashbrowns with biscuit and gravy. Wife had the ham and cheese omlet and said it was also good. Tea was fresh and tasted good. Dad said his chicken fried chicken was good though it seemed to him it was a little to thin, more breading than chicken but good none the less. My kid got the chicken bites which he enjoyed and it came in a nifty little cardboard 55 ford Fairlane box (picture atratched), never seen a place serve it in a neat box like that. Everything was great, they had fantastic gravy. Waitresses were freindly and checked up on us frequently. I like the looks of the place, the old brick and their mock bar they have is beautiful.

I ordered the chicken salad, it was good but the size of a side salad for over $11. I would definitely not recommend this. Their food is generally good though.

Really great service!! Love the Atmosphere they give off, great place for a family get off. Wish they would ask me if I would like a straw before just bringing one.

Whoever works here in the evenings doesn’t care much for their job. I walked in a few hours before closing, with the open sign and everything inside the diner on, had to walk to the back for service and then the girl tells me they were closed because they are slow. Well with that kind of service, I’m not surprised. Then as I’m walking out another associate runs into the back of the diner. Not sure how this place is being run in the evenings but I won’t be back.

The food was pretty good. Recieved everything that was ordered, nothing was forgotten. There was only one server and she seemed a little overwhelmed but was still very pleasant. With a little TLC the ambiance would be much improved but overall had a cute style.

Review №23

The food was undescribable great, the environment was elegant, fun,and entertaining. The staff was nice and fast. And for such a nice place, it wasnt that expensive. They have a bar,and a wine list,and delicious desserts. I personally liked the candles at every table,and the musician was great.

Used to love this place. But the last 2 times I went the food was terrible the service was even worse. Doors were wide open with industrial fans blowing in. Very disappointed in the direction this place is headed.

Went to Boomarang Diner for the first time Friday. My sister and I ordered breakfast. I had the large breakfast and a chocolate shake. My sister had the small breakfast and a Pepsi. The food was good The chocolate shake was fantastic. Our waitress stayed on top of things. Professional and curtious. All for under 20 bucks.

Good place great food ! Always happy ! Service is always quick.only had one bad experience when they had a restaurant in fort smith.They use to have a crackhead as a cook and he would send out food raw and start fights with the other workers and loudly talk bad but the customers! Glad he’s not with them anymore! The all baskets are good I will always go here !

Review №35

Saw the owner or manager ignore customers that werent her family, remain seated when the entire restaurant was full and watch her servers struggle, and also made an elderly customer that walked with a cane move out of her way. It sucks because I truly love the food.

Review №38

I love the burgers!! Inexpensive, nothing fancy, just great grill food. Breakfast served all day. Very cool atmosphere. Original ceiling and walls to a very old building that fits well with the type of food they serve. Weve also had breakfast there a few times. Omelets, pan cakes, biscuits & gravy are all good, Yet the mrs can get a burger for breakfast if she wants. Great place to eat if youre visiting down town Van Buren

Quick grilled foods, very tasty! This boomarang diner is in historical downtown situated in a very old former Budweiser warehouse where the furnishings and decorum are nearly as old as the building. Very interesting atmosphere to dine in and taking a walk through historic downtown is very pleasant following ones meal.

While we ate a woman in plainclothes walked into the restaurant carrying a basket of clothing. She proceeded to fold her laundry right behind the register. This is unacceptable. Not to mention my daughters chicken looked as though it had been fried in mud. We will not return.

Me and my husband decided to try this place for breakfast only to find out that its not handicap accessible well at least for a wheelchair so if your in a wheelchair and looking for somewhere to eat in Van Buren this is not the place to go, we ended up going to Ds Family Restaurant and it was amazing the food was great and the waitresses keep the coffee coming so go see them you can get your wheelchair in have a great day!
