   This is my second time at Booker’s and both experiences were pleasant. I was welcomed by timely service and satisfied customer service. The atmosphere was great and the staff always made sure to check on me while dining. I would recommend this spot if your in the area or just want to enjoy and check out something different. Cudos to Booker’s!

   The family was in the area and found Bookers on Yelp. From a group of picky eaters. We were blown away with the quality, quantity and the awesome service. Will be back again.

   From the outdoor waitstaff to our being seated, everyone was extremely pleasant which sadly can be a rare thing in restaurants these days. Enjoyed brunch items: seafood omelette, buffalo cauliflower, catfish sliders, stuffed French toast. Nice portion size and the cocktails, although a little pricey were good as well. We will definitely return soon

   We had a very enjoyable dining experience overall. The food was delicious, especially the gumbo soup and blackened catfish! Despite a casual level of chatter, the noise level was not particularly obtrusive. Our waitress indicated that she was new but she did an outstanding job of service! We will be back!

    I’ve been to Bookers many times, this was my first brunch experience. Everything was great just two small complaints. I book the reservation and requested bar seating and we were seated at the back table right outside of the bathroom. (Not quite the experience I was trying to have while taking my mother to brunch). Last complaint was the shrimp and grits had barely any gravy and lacked flavor. Like I said I’ve been to Bookers many times and usually have a great experience. Could have been that they were busy. With that being said I would still go back and give it another try for Brunch!

    Our waitress was nice but didn't necessarily fulfill our requests (that's a whole different review) she seemed overwhelmed but for our food we ordered one of the specials - a seafood omelet- which was very underwhelming. It definitely needed some seasoning. It was just baby shrimp, wet crabmeat and egg. I've been here several times and ordered something different each time because I want to like Bookers, but I think it's over between us now. Oh, and for the $9.00 (very small) slice of cake I could've gone to Denises bakery and gotten 2 slices of freshly made cake. IJS

    Unfortunately whene we arrived, the restaurant was closed due to a maintenance issue. However, the restaurant DID NOT call or text to inform of the closure prior. We drove an hour to get there. It was very disappointing. I highly suggest if a matter of the sort occurs in the future the management should make sure patrons are properly notified.

    The service was excellent, great food and lovely atmosphere. They have a nice lounge next door with a nice backyard. Decent prices for the food. They said the jerk oxtail was very spicy, but it wasn't spicy to me. It was still delicious but I was looking for that spice.

    I really enjoy Booker’s from there dining space, the bar, the employees, the food and the music it’s in amazing experience everytime you go. The employees are very attentive to the needs of the patrons. The mimosas flights are my favorite. If you have never been to bookers I would recommend you try making a reservation!

    I had the blackened catfish, which was very good. I had expected it to be a bit spicier, but that was OK. But the mashed potatoes? Heavenly. You could go just for those. My wife had the fried chicken, which she had not realized were tenders. (It said that on the menu but she hadn't paid attention.) She said they were good, and she also raved about the potatoes. The collards were flavorful, but could have used just a touch of vinegar. We took home a piece of carrot cake for dessert at home. It was what carrot cake should be.

    Our server and her support were extremely attentive, pleasant and knowledgeable. My food though tasty was served at varying temperatures. Part of my plate was room temperature while the other piping hot m, fresh from the flame. I had the Surf and Turf. Didn’t see the need to complain as I was served last and didn’t want to discourage my party.

    We had brunch at Booker's. The truly friendly staff and atmosphere made it. Our daughters loved their shrimp and grits with sausage. The pancakes were nothing special, but I had wanted a plainer meal. The maple syrup wasn't maple, but I had some cinnamon whipped cream instead which was delicious. But we loved going and recommend it to folks looking for brunch in the area.

    I was expecting the surf and turf to include steak, but it was more like a pot roast type of meat. Just different.

    6 of us from out-of-town gathered here for an early dinner. We ate on a pleasant if noisy patio, got quick and attentive service, and got surprisingly good food for a busy community watering hole. Best Brussel sprouts I’ve ever eaten—crisp and topped gently with cranberries, goat cheese, and walnuts. Fresh well-dressed salad--a side that wasn’t on the menu. Tender mussels in a flavorful sauce. Dangerously rich bread pudding, laced with cinnamon and topped with a mandarin orange sauce. One couple did have problems with their order—misunderstanding in the back of the house. But on the whole, kudos to the chefs and servers.
