   Brunch for three was very enjoyable. Service was excellent and server was very professional. Food was received hot and delicious. We were all very satisfied with our meals. Will definitely recommend to others, and will return for dinner.

   I enjoyed myself so much I plan to come back next month with friends. Everything was perfect from the food, the service and the environment, just lovely. I think it’s perfect for date night or an outing with friends it’s great for any occasion.

   I think it was too many ppl for the restaurant to handle. The waitress was very polite but stated she didnt have my reservation . My waitress act like she was scared of us. I did get the welcome from her. My salmon wasn’t done enough. My entree came without my asparagus. I guess they forgot, so when they decide to bring it. My asparagus was burnt. I had to send it back. It wasn’t good for my first experience. I will not be back ! Pray fully they will get those things together.

   Wonderful food, great atmosphere and vibe, excellent service. Like many restaurants there seems to be a decision to keep music just above a lower background pitch. However, when one of our party asked to have the volume lowered, it happened quickly and the lowered volume allowed us to continue hearing our conversation. We appreciated the quick and understanding response!

   We Absolutely had an amazing time this weekend . We had a decent size party this past weekend , and stayed longer then expected due to reconnecting with family /friend we haven’t seen in a while . The host didn’t rush us or kick us out and allowed us to just be . The food was amazing , hot , fresh and right off the press . My entire party was glad to dine here at this restaurant and all said 5 stars ⭐️ thank you !!

    Not exactly the place for a quiet dinner (it was really loud!), but the food was excellent as was the service. All the food coming out of the kitchen looks delicious. Everything served nice and hot! We had jambalaya, sea bass, chicken sliders, and deviled eggs -- all very good. We'll definitely go back!

    I’ve been to Bookers 3 times within the past couple of weeks. The first time was for dinner on a first date which was a vibe. I had the vegetarian jambalaya added shrimp and the deviled eggs, he had the oxtails and cleared the plate, he also had the calamari. The second time I brought a couple of family members for brunch and I had fish and grits it was good but not the best I’ve ever had then I brought back a friend for brunch and I had the smoked salmon omelette which comes with potatoes and I also had the peach cobbler french toast soooo good. I would definitely go back. The staff is always welcoming and I can’t forget about the drinks. I’ve had the Booker’s Punch which has Hennessy in it and I also had a drink called Ella Fitzgerald and baby those drinks were almost drinking me they definitely put you where you need to be.

    Dined for first time at Booker’s to celebrate a friend’s birthday. So glad we chose Booker’s, where there was a heated outdoor option area and inside rustic area for dining. We were welcomed with smiles and a warm greeting. We were a party of 5 and ordered different meals. I had the spicy mango salmon, another had vegan jambalaya (added chicken), one had burger and salad, another the catfish. We enjoyed the drinks and meals. The spicy mango sauce was indeed spicy but tolerable. The mashed potatoes were to die for. I’ll be back!

    The food was great and so was the service but our candle wasn’t lit on our table and we also didn’t have roses like the other tables. Also we asked for hightop seating but the host took us to standard. But overall everything else was great.

    My FIRST and LAST experience here was absolutely terrible. The service was trash. The food was cold. I had to keep calling another waitress to my table because my waiter was no where to be found. Oh wait, he was at the bar making himself a drink, how about that! After we complained, he didn’t check on our table still. Waiting for the manager was like another hour. However she was really nice and gave me gift certificates. Prior to coming here I heard good things but I sure didn’t experience them, AND I was celebrating my graduation for my college degree. So turned off by this place.

    Pros: great food, warm and festive sectioned outdoor seating, friendly service Cons: service was slow, the outdoor seating pods were too small to get into our chairs without pulling the chairs out onto the sidewalk and maneuvering in individually, and felt crammed once we were in. Honestly though, I'd prefer tricky seating to cold or non-existent outdoor seating.

    This establishment has a great ambiance, and the service is top tier. The salmon and potatoes were really tasty with the aioli sauce. My only recommendation would be to season the greens for more flavor along with red pepper and add smoke meat to bring out the taste. Overall, food experience was a 8/10 while the service and vibe was a 10/10.

    Great atmosphere, friendly guest and staff. A little dissapointed in the food preparation. Sauces added to fish and chicken were lacking tasteful complexity for the price. Drinks were the same; lacking a well put together meal and beverage was a let down; especially after receiving a bill for two that included the gratuity already added. Want to recommend this restaurant as a nice friendly place to meet with friends. Wouldn't recommend food or mixed drink.

    The food was cooked well, just needed a touch of salt. I ordered the salmon, which was flavorful although a tad overcooked, the mashed and string beans lukewarm. My daughter had the oxtails, again flavorful but lacked salt. The rice was a tad overcooked, and the cabbage seemed over portioned. The drinks were solid and the cornbread outstanding. We will return and try again.
