Reviews

We really enjoyed our brunch experience today at Booker’s.
We made a reservation online, and were seated right away.
The ambience is beautiful and we love that there is an awning outside because it was very rainy today.
The staff is very pleasant and accommodating.
The strawberry cheesecake stuffed French toast is amazing.
Home fries are delicious.
We also loved the champagne and juice tasters to create our own mimosas.
Highly recommend!

Owner response

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us.
We are happy to know you enjoyed yourself and look forward to having you back in the future.

My daughter found this place for us while we were visiting.
While celebrating our anniversary.
It's a nice spot with some very good food.
Service was also good.
I was a little disappointed in how they took care of an issue that happened, though.
But all in all I would go there again when I'm in town.
They're a little pricey, though.
But the food is good.
I had the Jerk Oxtail.
It's spicy but good.
Get ready to wipe your nose while you eat.
Be sure to get that cornbread.
Whew! It's good.
The southern chicken strips are tasty also.
Enjoy!

My sister has been raving about this restaurant for the longest time and so I decided to sneak in on a slower evening with my little one.
First we were greeted with excitement and warmth from the moment we entered the door by management.
They were delighted to hear this was our first time dining.
We were seated in a beautiful area with sparkly lights and engaging decor.
Our server Rachel was phenomenal.
She complimented my son on his pallet and dining choices and he really felt seen and heard.
We had deviled eggs, cornbread, thai chili wings, spicy chicken sliders and a spicy mango salmon.
We loved everything but have to confess the Thai wings and cornbread were our favorite.
I chose a seasonal apple cider sangria and my son had a homemade strawberry lemonade.
We truly enjoyed ourselves and look forward to returning to try brunch in the future.
