Boomerangs Gourmet Burger Jnt

This is the BEST neighborhood burger joint in San Diego. It even beats ROCKY's of Crown Point!!! Pros: The endless array of choices Cons: The endless array of choices!! This place is NOT for the indecisive!! more

From the amazing food, fabulous service and an atmosphere of fun, relaxation and creativity. We love this place, any time we have familly, friends and/or colleagues in town we bring them to Boomerangs. If you are looking for great food, great service, an intimate setting or a crowd setting this is your place! Pros: Food, Ambience, Service, Location, etc... more

I was refered by another local, I always saw the sign but never tried it. Pros: superb burgers, Value, service, happy hour every day Cons: need full bar more

Ok, here's the thing: I love hamburgers. Given a choice, I would probably eat hamburgers for each meal. I have lived in San Diego for only 2+ years, but have been searching for the best burger equally as long. I WAY prefer the char to the grill but even a good flat-grill can be wonderful. (I still long for the hamburger stand of my youth, Bill's Hot Spot in LA where the land was so valuable, the family sold the land and it's now a Starbucks. sigh.) Pros: Wonderful atmosphere, best burgers in town Cons: Takes a little longer but worth the wait - and - it's a really cool environment to hang! more

We live in the neighborhood and my family and I have eatern here twice. The owner is really nice and we wanted him to be successful. I'm a little shocked at the rave reviews on this site b/c in our experience, the service and the food were erradic at best, cold and tastless at worse. ""Fresh"" pesto was old, dark, and bland. Burgers were dry (sorry, but they were) and the boring bun was way too big for the meat. The home-made chili was cold tomato soup. I can't recommend anything we've tried. And we experienced loooong delays to receive cold food both times. We'll stick w/Red Robin. Pros: friendly owner, coloring books/cards for kids Cons: poor food and poor service more

By far the best burger place I have ever been to. The service was exceptional and I really couldn't have asked for more. Price was very reasonable. I will definitely be going there again! Pros: Great burgers and service more

The first thing about this place that grabbed me was the decor...just too cool!! And I immediately bonded with the owners...they are a riot...and they make the dining experience relaxing and fun. A given: Their angus burgers are sooooo good. You can pick the ingredients to suit your own tastes. It's fun to experiment. Roasted garlic fries...yikes! They are worth the bad breath...let me tell you. Homemade potato chips. niiiiice. This is a place you can take anybody to...for any occasion..lunch, dinner or drinks...and everyone has a good time. Pros: Ambience, fresh ingredients Cons: Not the best location for visibility if you are driving by more

My son and I went here for lunch on a nice Saturday. The only seating was upstairs, and had about 5 or 6 other tables occupied. The waiter came over and was moderately friendly. He explained how the menu worked by adding different ingredients to our burgers. We ordered beer, which was promptly served in large glasses and was pleasingly cold. Pros: Big cold beers Cons: Bad service, cold food, mistakes in the orders, intolerable wait more

What a Great idea, We created our own burgers, The kids loved it, We loved it. What A great concept, They have it all. Atmosphere, Great food, Great looking Art work displays. Everyone there are friendly . Pros: Great night out for all ages Cons: Hard to see from the street, more

After watching thousands of episodes on gourmet hamburgers on the Food Network, my boyfriend and I decided to find a place that served gourmet hamburgers, of course without the gourmet snobbish servers or the highly expensive gourmet price... wishful thinking right? Well, as soon as we stepped into Boomerangs we saw a place that looked so artistically modern, colorful and creative, it felt as though we were stepping into an IKEA catalog but without the snuddy attitude. In fact, the host that attended us gave us the best service ever, enthusiastically giving us the option to sit upstair in booths or downstairs in chairs or even outside on the beautiful patio. We chose the stairs and sat on very comfy booths where we were surrounded by colorful walls and decorative off-the-wall paintings. We sat down and within minutes our waiter Jose came and explained how the menu works. This is where it gets good, customers have the option of choosing several ingrediants and meats to create a hamburger especially for them. However, the awesome thing is it is really gourmet tasting because everything is fresh and authentic. I ordered pineapple, bacon, and cajun spice with an order of onion rings. Let me tell say, I have not stopped thinking about the hamburgers or the onion rings because they were so delicious. Oh might I say that their spicy ketchup is also something to die for... yum! Lastly when we received the bill it was only around $20.00, so for two gourmet hamburgers, fries, onion rings, and grilled fruit, and a soda... and a wonderful time might I add, it was too good to be true. This is a definite place to take a date or even a family, my boyfriend even talked to the manager to see if he could get his football team in there... so this is thee place to go for great gourmet hamburgers without the snobbish waiters or the ridiculous gourmet prices. Pros: EVERYTHING more

Really, I can just say wow. On our first visit, my boyfriend and I walked in, wanting to try something new. We live close, and a burger sounded great, so we thought we'd try it. We walked in, and after one look at the menu, I was already calling buddies to join us. We ended up spending 4 hours there (hitting both happy hours), and closed the place down just having a few beers and chatting with the owners and other patrons. Last night was our first visit, and we are already going back for breakfast this morning. :) They don't have an official brunch yet, but one of the owners said he was going to be cooking early. We are looking forward to whatever he decides to make as well as the mango mimosas (made with fresh mango puree!) Yum. In sum... Food -- excellent, Service -- excellent, Atmosphere -- excellent. Staff and Owners -- very friendly and definitely make the experience even better!!!!!! more

This place is awesome. I visited this place for the first time on the 4th of July with my fiancee and two good friends. We were seated promptly upstairs at a beautiful solid mahogany bar. We started off with one of my new favorite beers ... Moosedrool (this is the only place in SD that you can get it on tap currently). We had Teriyaki and spicy BBQ wings for starters. Delicious. We then got a chance to meet Bruce and Jose, the owners. They were great hosts, very conversational and funny. I ordered the 1/2 pounder with Fresh Garlic, Horseradish and Cilantro sauteed and then mixed into the burger (cooked to medium rare), with a side of homemade chili pepper crusted onion rings with Habanero Ketchup. The food is AMAZING, everything is fresh. FRESH. I know it sounds crazy, but everything is made FRESH. I can't wait until I'm hungry again, so i can go back. They have a great happy hour ... from 4 to 7 pm everyday of the week. They also have ANOTHER one from 10 pm until closing on Fridays and Saturdays. Crazy I know!!! They have outdoor patio seating, some of which is PET FRIENDLY. How cool is that? Honestly, it's refreshing that Bruce and Jose runa business the way they do. I've only been there once and I feel like I've made some new friends, we can't wait to see them and eat their food. I would recommend this place to any and everyone. OH YEAH ... did i mention the fresh STRAWBERRY AND PEACH CHEESECAKE for dessert. stop by often cause the desert is made fresh everyday ... which means it changes from day to day as well. Pros: Food is uncompareable, Service is refreshingly fantastic, Huge Plasmas, PET FRIENDLY, Awseome Dessert Cons: Honestly ... can't think of one! more

Short and Sweet: more

I am a burger fiend ?.well, my friend took me out to eat at a place in Clairemont, yes, Clairemont called Boomerangs Gourmet Burger Joint. It was probably the best burger I have had in years. The place is co-owned by Jose and Bruce, whom I met. The service was great and the food better. Pros: The food, the service Cons: food takes a little long to prelare more

I've eaten here a few times. I recommend the upstairs bar for the ambience. The food is fantastic! Be willing to step out and experiment with your burger and you'll get some special treats. (I never would have thought of cooking tomatoes IN the burger, but it was great! Pros: Food, Service, Atmosphere Cons: Access/Parking-but not their fault more

Pros: Quality of ingredients, cooked to order, great beer list, atmosphere, flat panel T.V.'s Cons: No street frontage, but plenty of parking. more

We were told about this place, and were happy to dine there. The place had a nice and cool look to it; however the experience was less then great service was slow considering we were only one of two tables in the place. When we ordered the waiter wrote down the complete ordered and served are drinks timely. Yet we waited one hour for are foods, and received the wrong orders for both are dishes. First we noticed that are side dishes were on the wrong plate, and then the burgers were not what we ordered either. We let the waiter know of the mistakes, and his answer was that he was sorry yet did nothing to change or correct it after he told us it was his fault. He then returned and told us it was the kitchens fault and still did nothing to help the matter. We had to leave paying the whole bill and not eating it. Also the onion rings were not cooked all the way they tasted like batter. We are both not returning to this place EVER. Pros: Cool look Cons: The kitchen and service was bad more

Boomerangs has the BEST Stuffed Burgers ever! In addition to the burgers, there is a great selection of Vegetarian and Seafood options in case someone in the group isn't in the mood for a burger. The side dishes of vegetables and potatoes we delicious, as well as the chocolate, banana, carmel, raspberry, graham cracker crust cheesecake!!! (a little skeptical if ALL of these ingredients would work together, but was pleasantly surprised - if you like cheesecake don't eat this, it will raise the bar to a level that CANNOT be matched) Pros: Great Food, Great Service, Cold Beers (Pitchers!), Plenty of Tables & Ample Parking Cons: Hard to find - Hidden behind Pearle Vision on the corner of Clairemont Mesa Blvd & Clairemont Dr. more

We had just returned from a trip from Antiguia and wanted to try something different. I found a coupon in the paper and thought, what the heck. When arriving I noticed lots of parking, an airy outside dining area with a fountain and obiviously a lover of frogs. Was greeted and seated immediately. The menu had so many selections and had a hard time deciding what to order. They offer a great happy hour at 2 different times of the day and on weekends. The food was hot, tasty and the service was excellent. The owners were there to greet us and make sure that nothing was left undone. He even surprised us with a special dessert. The burgers are made to order and the stuffings inside too much to even mention. The homemade chili is out of this world and the appetizers are spledid. The atmosphere in the restaurant is cheery, light and colorful. The widescreen t.v's are made to be seen in every direction when sitting in the bar. We have been back 3 times and have taken family with us whom have said they will return. A nice change from the everyday chain restaurants we have here in Clairemont. A refeshing crew and wonderul owners! We will be back.! more

I was curious about this new burger place after my girlfriend got a coupon in the mail. I figured it was worth a try. My mistake not only did i have to go half way to mission bay because I missed the turn off from clairmont mesa blvd. Pros: Plenty of parking because who would go there twice Cons: The food, the service more
