The Booker - Lewis 106 East North Street, Leesville, LA 71446

"I can't make this stuff up. I have been here 3 times. The first time it was decent at best. Service was EXTREMELY slow and food was mediocre. I had the surprise me chef and it was a chipotle chicken pasta thing. Kind of tasted like a meal a 12 year old could make. The next two times were awful. They have recently hired on a server who is absolutely AWFUL. This same server ruined our experience at Mexico Lindo twice, and we vowed never to go back there. Now we find he has been hired on here. He has terrible customer service skills, is very awkward, has messed up my order multiple times, and takes his sweet little time while he flirts with other tables. If you aren't ordering alcohol he doesn't really care about you. If the server wasn't bad enough, the food was also not very good, especially for the price. The next two times my food was served cold, and burnt. I also had to wait over an hour for my desert, and 45 minutes or more for my ticket. (This last time, there was literally one other table in the entire dining room) Unless you are just dying to waste money for the fun of it, please go somewhere else."

"I thoroughly enjoyed myself staying here. The room was clean, charming, and appropriately decorated. There is an onsite restaurant that serves the best food in the area, as well as a pub staffed with friendly bartenders. The owner is very friendly and has a genuine interest in your comfort. I look forward to staying here again!"

"Put aside any hesitation to enjoy a romantic dinner at the Booker Lewis House and go for the "Surprise Me, Chef!" Caleb Carter prepared this for my husband tonight and it was FANTASTIC. I was a little jealous of his massive plate of steak, veggies and potatoes with quite the surprise sauce on top. We even joked that we order the Surprise Me next time, but specify the same meal. We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the privacy the waiting staff afforded us. Some people prefer to be hovered over, we do not. They were there when we needed them which is perfect. If the weather is nice, sit outside under the ceiling fans in the fresh air. We WILL be back. Thanks for a great anniversary experience!"

"We took my mother in law here for her 87th birthday. There were 4 of us. My mother in law and I ordered the top sirloin, my wife ordered the vegetarian lasagna and my son ordered the chicken parmesan sandwich. Everyone loved the food. I thought my steak was one of the best steaks I have had in a long, long time, and by far, the best in the area. My son, who is very picky, loved his sandwich, which really surprised us. Everyone agreed that the food was excellent. The chef came by before we ate and spoke with us for a bit, and then checked on how the food was after we had finished. This was a nice, personal touch. Our experience was excellent, and we will definitely go back."

"even on a business trip-this is a great place to stay. its so nice to receive genuine care when staying at generic hotels 5 days out the week. i would suggest this hotel to anyone."
