I've driven by that location many times over the years and never noticed the restaurant. It does sit toward the back of the property behind and to the north of the Sinclair service station. The restaurant is typical small town; a throwback to another era before the explosion of chain restrauants. We were greeted by Curtis who opened the restrauant 47 years ago. The venue is causal and relaxed. The menu features all you can eat catfish for $14.95 and comes with a garden salad and two sides and a small bowl of pinto beans and hot roll. The menu has a variety of Southern comfort items such as fried chicken livers which one of my friends ordered. I ordered the all you can eat fried shrimp, with fries and fried okra. The hospitality and service are excellent. The food is good, the prices are low-moderate ($$) The noise was low.

Salad bar could be expanded, and the lobster bisque leaned a little too creamy for me. The meats, though, were excellent -- flavorful, hot, and consistently coming out fresh. The flank steak was incredible, perfectly salted, and the picanha absolutely delivered. But the surprise favorite of the night? The grilled pineapple. Beautifully caramelized with a slight smoky char that made it ridiculously good. Our table was fully ready for another round before they ran out. Service was great all around with no complaints.

Not good. - Wife and I went on Friday night at 7pm before karaoke starts. We each had the cheese burger basket; the burgers were good, but the fries and onion rings were horrible. Just could not eat them, excessively oily and not fully cooked. - The beers were great, nice and cold. Long story short, we used to enjoy going to Murrel's because of karaoke, the food, the staff, and the people. We have given Murrel's 3 chances since new management has taken over. Between the smoking and food quality, I am pretty sure we won't be returning to Murrel's.

At Boomarang Diner, it feels like home the moment you step in. The welcoming atmosphere combined with friendly staff makes it the perfect spot for a casual meal with friends and family. For my lunch, I chose their famous Chicken Fried Steak, which was cooked to perfection. The crispy breading on the outside and tender, juicy meat inside made each bite incredibly satisfying. Served with a side of creamy gravy, it was a delightful explosion of flavors in my mouth. As if that wasn't enough, I also sampled their Fried Pickles and Fried Mushrooms. The pickles had just the right amount of tanginess, and the batter provided a satisfying crunch. The fried mushrooms were equally impressive, with their golden exterior and tender insides.Both appetizers were the perfect complements to my main course. If you're in the mood for some good old-fashioned comfort food, I highly recommend paying a visit to Boomarang Diner. You won't be disappointed by their delicious offerings and warm, inviting atmosphere.Trust me, your taste buds will thank you! #foodoftheday

No sauce is needed but if you want to, their Carolina BBQ sauce is excellent. When I heard it was mustard-based I was worried but it had just the right amount of mustard. The ribs were so tender. Maybe too tender. The sides were also delicious. Mac n cheese was made to my liking. Their cole slaw was vinegar-based but it's not too tangy-just the right amount of vinegar. The breakfast menu looks promising so we can't wait to try it.

The fries also had a great crispy texture and we're very filling.

We were there over an hour waiting for our medium rare steaks to come out. We had to ask for our salads to come out before our meal which took about 20 minutes for a side salad to come out they didnt have crackers for a salad or croutons. When the meal came out the steaks had no seasoning on it not even salt. The potatoes were thick no butter or seasoning in them just a little bacon and we had to ask for extra of it and some cheese. No sour cream on it or chives. The only thing that had flavor was the garlic bread. My sons chicken stripes were black from the oil in the fryer needing changed. The waitress was nice but the service was not great. The food was not good. Would not recommend.
