Where can you go to kick back and relax, sip an icy
cold beverage, partake of a great meal and have a really good time?
Head on over to Boomers Bar & Smokehouse, located at 121 Earls Rd.
in Middle River, where youre sure to enjoy yourself. Owners Donnie
Marino and Jeff Swope are committed to providing their customers quality
food and beverages, plus a variety of excellent entertainment, at
reasonable prices. While the establishment features a grand bar and
a few dining tables on the inside, now is the time to take advantage
of the island oasis located outside.
Complete with palms trees, sand, tables with umbrellas
and a tiki bar, youll instantly feel as if youre on vacation somewhere
in the tropics. Be sure to order up a frozen concoction to get the
full effect. Getting a little hungry? Boomers offers up an extensive
appetizer menu (available until 1 a.m., which is good to know), as
well as burgers, sandwiches and ribs. Theyve also got some of the
best pit beef sandwiches in town, thanks to the expertise of Swope
of Big Als Pit Beef fame. On a recent lunch visit with co-workers,
I tried the pit turkey sandwich, which comes served on a toasted Kaiser
roll with potato chips on the side. Piled high with turkey, customers
can add their choice of sauce to the pit sandwiches. I went with mustard
and a smoke BBQ sauce - delicious! The food is served up piping hot,
and my co-workers noted the French fries were really good, fried to
crispy perfection.
We also sampled the appetizer sampler, featuring chicken
tenders, mozzarella sticks, jalapeno poppers and fried green beans.
I love fried green beans and these were exceptional. The dipping sauce
is outstanding as well. My co-workers were partial to the chicken
tenders and cheese sticks, though the poppers were tasty, too, with
just the right amount of kick. Really, everything we tried at Boomers
was great. In addition to palate-pleasing provisions, customers can
also find some marvelous entertainment and activities every night
at Boomers.
With live music and DJs on the weekends, plus acoustic
guitar on Tuesdays, Team Trivia on Wednesdays and Ladies Night drink
specials on Thursdays, theres always something going on youll want
to check out. Plus, theres pool tables and video games, as well as
multiple large screen HDTVs which will make this a prime location
for watching the Ravens games this fall. Happy Hours take place from
3 - 7 p.m. and on Sunday afternoons starting at 4 p.m., Boomers hosts
a big deck party outside in their tropical oasis I mentioned earlier.
Check out the food and drink specials - like $3 pit beef sandwiches
- during these events.
For fun, food and entertainment, visit Boomers Bar
& Smokehouse at 121 Earls Rd. in Middle River. Open 11 a.m. - 2 a.m.,
Boomers also offers a catering room that holds up to 100 people. For
