Boomarang Diner - Pauls Valley

It was decent. Fries, cheese curds, fry bread, chicken strips, all good. I wasn't a fan of my fish sandwich (not much flavor) and the hubby said Patty melt was so-so. For a bunch of food thrown in a fryer, it took a bit to get food. Husband noticed that I told waitress twice about wanting extra sauce on side in addition to what was on sandwich and even reminded her when she read the order back but still had to ask for it when food was brought to us. Cute place with fun atmosphere though.

Great food and a great example of a small town diner. We were in town for 10 days and ate here 4 times.

I have went to this Boomerang since it opened and have really good food and service until recently. This place has went downhill in a hurry. Last few times I have been here food has been subpar if you can get them to make the order correct and service has been terrible and you better know how to speak Spanish because apparently there is a language barrier or maybe they just don't want understand.

So I was helping my friend move yo Pauls Valley, and we were getting a bit peckish. She had remembered that I was craving fried catfish the night before, and I had heard Boomerang Diner has the best fried catfish, so we decided to try it out, and boy, they didn't disappoint! Our waitress Emily was so very patient with my many questions about their ranch dressing! She is bubbly and energetic! Perfect first impression! She was attentive and made sure our drinks were never empty and promptly came back to ensure everything was to our liking! Beautiful personality and hard worker too! The ranch dressing is house made and made it worth ordering a salad! The fish was so flakey and crispy and yummy I ate every bit of my order! Even the fried okra was on point! The atmosphere was so nostalgic and

Today was a good day for a Sunday drive. We went to Pauls Valley and found the Boomarang Diner in the original downtown area. We arrived in time for an early lunch. It was encouraging to see most tables occupied and we received excellent service. The menu offered a good selection of “diner fare” and we did not wait long for our order to be in front of us. The atmosphere of being in an older downtown building certainly added to the enjoyment of the meal. we will certainly keep this place in mind for the future when we feel like combining a meal and a short road trip.
