About

Booker’s pairs Southern-influenced American comfort food with a bar, brunch service, and weekly live jazz; the menu includes Creole vegan jambalaya and a bean burger alongside many meat and seafood dishes. Reviews praise the lively music and attentive staff, though one diner found the jambalaya very spicy, and the venue closes between brunch and dinner service.
