   The food was ok but they did not use any salt, my husband and I and other guess all asked for salt and pepper. Big miss for me, but service was great and food came fast. Nice little spot but a no for me

   It was only ok . It was very noisy . I kept hearing the dishes get clanked around. The service was slow even though I saw a lot of people working. Buffalo cauliflower was good. Coupon was good but too much spaghetti .

   Wasn’t greeted upon arrival. Hostess was distracted and had to be assisted by another staff member even though there were dozens of employees just standing around. Drinks were watered down. Food subpar.

   The waffle and duck was not good because the duck was dry as hell. When I say dry I mean super super dry. The waffle was just okay.

    I was with a party of 3. I had the oxtails. They are very spicy and good! My companions had the porch chop and short rib. They liked them very much. Very pleasant staff and they were attentive. We will definitely be going back 😊

    We sat outside. Not a fan of the deliveries made out front with trucks throwing off heat and honking. Slower service, but the place was packed. However, our food came out quick once we ordered. Sever was very thorough, and professional . Food was excellent! I suggest reducing portions and charging less. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience.

    The music was just too loud; have to shout to be heart. It's a restaurant - not a disco. To be fair, the music was turned down when we requested.

    This was much better experience than my last. Servers and host very friendly and got me seated right away. The drinks and food were good and it was a nice atmosphere. The Drinks took a little while to come out , and we were served complimentary chocolate cake because it was my friends birthday .

    Came into town for date night and decided on dinner at Bookers. We have seen this restaurant on IG and wanted to visit as we love to support black business. We were seated promptly and everyone from the host to our waiter were friendly and welcoming. The vibe is great and the patrons were a nice mixed crowd. We had the crispy Brussels and lamb shank with yellow rice…Food was delicious and the lamb fell off the bone. After dinner we walked over to Bayou Lounge, which is adjacent and ended up spending the next three hours watching a group of phenomenal spoken work artists. The place was setup like a really chic, intimate salon and the crowd reminded me of the old school Philly places where you might run into Jill Scott or someone from the Roots…definitely a vibe. Already planning a return trip…Funky verbs Funky words…

    Food- fantastic! Service was even better. Asia serviced us and made sure we had a phenomenal experience. The chicken and shrimp and waffles was great. I came for the Buffalo cauliflower and was not disappointed. The inside is super cute. I will def go back soon.

    Service was very promptly and swift! We arrived 15mins before our reservations, sat down and ate under an hour. I got the catfish entree. The collards were not my fave so i got green beans switched for them which was way better. The ratio of potatoes to the catfish I think was too much. Perhaps reduce the amount of mash or add another piece of catfish. The cornbread was really good but the strawberry cream didn't compliment it well. Overall good time would visit again for brunch in the future.

    Our waiter was awesome, the food took over an hour to come. It was our anniversary and we just packed up our food and came home. And we spent over $150 and didn't enjoy it. Kinda bummed.

    I really wanted to like Booker's more! The food was good, but nothing special (obviously based on one meal). The service was slow: Our cocktails, which we'd ordered before ordering dinner so that we'd get them before we got dinner, arrived mid-meal. It was noisy, but part of that was that we were sitting at a patio table almost adjacent to an inside table with a group celebrating a birthday. The hostess was wonderful. Will try again for weekend brunch.

    We enjoyed ourselves but I have 2 recommendation: They should display 2 messages on each table so that customers will be aware of 2 unfavorable policies. Also the wait staff should wear masks inside. 1. Automatically adding 20% gratuity to each check(eat in and take out) is a bit much. If you feel that you have to include gratuity, why not 15% or 18%, especially for take out orders. It was a bit annoying to find this out at the end. 2. To automatically round the bill up to the nearest whole dollar........ and say we don't do change was annoying.

    As much as people speak highly of this place I was highly disappointed. 1. It’s time for a bigger space super tight and uncomfortable. 2. That’s seafood Mac and cheese isn’t seafood Mac n cheese. My Mac had nothing but water in it. Looked as if someone just threw the noodles in some cheese sauce just horrible.
