As much as I try to support my people, I guess I just have to need to lower my expectations. However, I'm not asking for too much, at least act like you're in a place of business! When you work in a restaurant, you should know providing service is a part of your job. If you do not want to provide service, DON'T WORK IN A RESTAURANT! Sad thing is, anytime you make them aware of their lack of attentiveness, they immediately cop an attitude as if you've offended them. UGHHHH Excuse me, you're getting paid to be here, I'm paying for you to be here, but you got an attitude about how poorly you're treating me... I can't! read more

Haven't been by here in a while and wanted to have some soul food again. The ambiance is pretty dark. The floors were sticky. The decor needs to be updated. The front counter still appears to have COVID provisions up but the plastic is falling apart. The service was ok. Whenever there was downtime that staff were on their phones. One of the cooks from the back brought out a new tray of baked chicken. After attempting to put the tray on the line, it slipped and some pieces fell into the hot water the tray sits atop. The tray also seeped into the water some. The cook took the tray to the back and within two minutes came back with a tray of chicken to put on the line. A waiting customer saw this and immediately decided not to eat there. She gave back her ticket and said I know that is the same chicken that just fell in the water. I ordered the wings with Mac and cheese and sweet potatoes. It was good. Chicken was fresh and the portions were plentiful. Overall good food, place needs a deep cleaning and implement better food protection practices. read more

The owner agreed to a cater my event in their Events Room. Then the owner manager a Asian woman named Sue attempted to price gouge me by stating I would have to increase my attendee numbers. I had already sent out invitations. Again, I already had reservations about Levi's. This was formally a Black-owned business. Do not be fooled, just because Black folks work there this is no different from your typical Bullet proof Carry Out. Do yourself a favor, Boycott this business give that their customer service is poor and they are unprofessional in terms of handling business. This is my neighborhood and if you don't live here and do bad business I will lobby to get you out of here. read more

Levi's Restaurant & Catering - Soul Food Near Me - Clinton, Maryland

I received food from Levi's on 12/19/24 at around 8 pm. It had been a while since I ate at Levi's and wanted to try them since I WAS considering using their catering service in February 2025, for a large event. I ordered whiting fish but received trout. The fish was hard and dry. I also ordered mac & cheese which was bland. I ordered yams which were dry and hard on the top. The meal was as if it had been cooked a few days ago and heated up. I'm displeased. Especially since there are so many great restaurants in the area to spend my money at. I will not return to this restaurant. I certainly wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

The food is horrible and overpriced! I was expecting some good down home soul food! NOT!! I should have known better by the cooked food that's located in the showcase! It's so bad that you can't even tell what the food is in the trays!! Yuck!! No flavor, taste old, and downright nasty!!! Even the corn bread was tasteless!! Save your money and go somewhere else! I expected the food to be at least on the same level as Carolina Kitchen! Not even close! You've been warned! read more

The pricing is the biggest issue. Just about 18 dollars for this portion alone. It okay but for 18 dollars it doesn't taste like it. The people working are fine, either way the food will come out. Just be warned that certain times can make it so that it'll take long for them to cook it. Sometime having it be 15-20 minute wait inside the restaurant. read more

Levi's Restaurant & Catering - Wings with Macaroni and Cheese - Soul Food Near Me - Clinton, Maryland

I used to go to this restaurant quite often, but as I can see from the help that they had inside of the restaurant as well as the cook who appeared from outside of the kitchen without cooking my food 30 minutes later on his phone, laughing and going back-and-forth with the young ladies who were serving food that they have totally gone downhilll. Me and my daughter patiently sat waiting on my order to be ready. I had to get up and go to the counter and ask was it ready. The Cook never looked up the little girl joked with him about going to get my food cooked instead of being on his phone and bothering them. I definitely decided to just leave not angry just disappointed that I sat there and let them play in my face for as long as I did. Super unprofessional and not worth wasting your time to go in there and think that you will receive any kind of service at all. read more

Upon arriving, I'm met with the smell of fabuloso cleaner- I knew it had to be clean. The food was unfortunately lackluster. I had jerk chicken, cabbage and Mac&cheese and my partner had smothered pork chops. The meals were not collectively worth $40 but I do love this restaurant as it is sort of a staple and has very nice staff. I had not been to this place since 2014 and the quality of food has shifted since. read more

Staff was very friendly. (Only reason why I left three stars) But o my goodness. The food was not the best. Which was a bummer because I chose this over Carolina kitchen. The Mac and cheese had no flavor. None! This is my first time trying it. So maybe it was a bad batch. (I hope). Corn bread was burnt. The crab cake was pretty good and the one piece of whiting that I got was good. Collard greens were probably my favorite of everything. The shrimp was the worse... which is sad because how can you mess up fried shrimp...the shrimp tasted so fishy. I gagged. read more

Absolutely disgusting -- I've been living in a state where the demographic of people don't prefer seasoning -- and the chicken that I get there at least falls off the bone. The smothered chicken I got here was gross. The chicken was under-cooked as well as the cabbage. The taste of the food was great -- it just wasn't cooked all the way. I totally wasted $15 on "soul food" I'm a foodie and I really try to find the good in every meal. This WAS NOT that meal. read more

Just spent $67+ a $10 tip for 3 meals, two baked chicken meals and Salisbury steak. Didn't watch the order being plated because we were waiting on the Salisbury steak to be done. Got home, and we had two barbecue chicken meals it was inedible. Chicken was dried out completely. I some of the sides bread was dried out too. The staff was very nice but the chicken I was served was unsatisfactory. Last time patronizing this establishment. read more

Levi's Restaurant & Catering - Dried out barbecue chicken I didn't ask for. It's too far to go back so I ate the sides which were ok. - Soul Food Near Me - Clinton, Maryland

Food was horrible. It's certainly not what it used to be. Can't say anything else. Not sure what changed but the quality is just not there. I was very disappointed. read more

First of all we should of read the yelp on this soul food place because what a Big disappointment on this food! I got the ribs , Mac n cheese and sweet potatoes ribs were cold the mac and cheese looked dry as hell and they for got my sweet potatoes, that was the only thing that was good . My wife got fried fish and it looked like it was cooked in old ass oil, the greens were awful. And we got coconut cake and that was old ass cake too. Never will we go back again Again! And the employees there had no idea what was going on with customers orders the cashier girl was rude to the customer before me and I was just waiting for her to snap on me. Clean up house with new cooks and employees!! read more

Rude and disrespectful! I placed an order through Uber eats, however, I was unable to select my sides. I called the restaurant to give them my complete order and was greeted quite nastily by a woman over the phone. As I explained to her my issue, she cut me off and says "We don't do Uber eats." This of course, was quite disconcerting as I had just placed an order for $40 worth of food. I proceeded to ask her what could be done and her response "I don't know, you need to call them. We don't do Uber so I don't know what to tell you." At that point I was done. I'm tired of establishments with poor customer service and will not be a patron in the future. Do better. read more

Made a mistake of ordering from here instead of the location in Bowie. This location gets no stars from me. Quality and quantity is horrible compared to Bowie. Will not make the same mistake twice that's for sure. read more

I wish I could give negative stars. This place has horrible service. Management pretty much allows the workers to make the rules and deal with customers, all while being in the wrong! The new calling system implemented will you waiting for your food from 45 minutes to 1 hour only to be subjected to young rude staff. I decided to leave my food and let them have it for dinner bc of the poor customer service. This is not the first time, but it definitely was the last! Close your doors, clean up and screw some lightbulbs into the ceilings!! read more

The food is good but the service is subpar. I love the fried catfish, corn bread, and cabbage. The mac & cheese is okay. read more

Levi's Restaurant & Catering - Fried catfish, mac & cheese, cabbage, and corn bread - Soul Food Near Me - Clinton, Maryland

My initial thoughts were that the side dishes cost way too much but when i seen the large blessed portions that i received it is was definitely all worth it! Best candied yams i've ever had and the collard greens were delicious! If I had a loving suggestion for my money paid at this time it would be that the rice and gravy could use a bit more salt and pepper in preparation. read more

Levi's Restaurant & Catering - BEST CANDIED YAMS I'VE EVER HAD! COLLARD GREENS DELICIOUS! - Soul Food Near Me - Clinton, Maryland

The food is ok but they are supposed to close at 8 The chick literally start spraying around us @7 w cleaning supplies choking us out of the establishment... this shouldn't even be legal & it is a Sunday night. Just totally disrespectful. I attempted to plead with her & that spray bottle but my mission wasn't accomplished... won't be back !!! read more

So disappointed in the quality of the food. We ordered a BBQ Rib platter, and 2 fried chicken platters. The ribs were just pot boiled with bbq sauce thrown on at the end. The chicken was barely cooked to temperature. It seems they just cook their version of "soul food" until it's cooked and then throw on whatever ingredients it calls for to finish it. Just like baking the yams until they're cooked, then throwing on syrup at the end and calling it sweet potatoes. What happen to caring about the cuisine of your people and serving your community proudly???? read more

Tasteless overcook soul food. I thought I would give it another try. I was disappointed. I had turkey wings with dressings . The wings were overcooked and the dressing was sweet. read more

i went into the store 8/20/23 after work to get dinner for myself and my husband. the food is still as good as i remember, but they now have younger staff there and the whole time I was waiting on my food. The young lady with the blond braids, instead of bagging up the customers orders, she decided to have a whole conversation with another employee that had her shirt half on and off, walking back and forth and the cashier spent the whole time face timing someone. the older ladies instructed her to get off her phone and tend to the customers, but she remained on her phone ignoring everything the older staff was saying to them. PLEASE get rid of those young girls. They are playing too much on that front line and myself and a few other customers were sitting there discussing this concern. customer service is not how it used to be. read more

I don't know when you'll been up here but go now today is 10/29/2023 there food bomb you here me the Mac depends on the chef sometimes but the string bean , jerk wings , baked chicken, and turkey wings fire .. the corn bread needs flavor and the chicken wings to big for me.. peach cobbler bomb read more

Everything is GREAT.. Mostly the fresh wings, corn & cabbage. Great costumer service.. I love jus about everything , very clean and sanitized. read more

This is the place to be for great tasting, reasonable, large servings of soul food. We stopped by for lunch on Sunday after church. To my surprise, it was not crowded when we arrived, but it was a different story when we left. There is so much to choose from. Their choices include beef, pork, poultry and seafood. They have several sides, desserts and sandwiches as well. I ordered the BBQ Rib and Chicken Combo, which came with 2 sides and your choice of bread. Oh yes, and a slice of chocolate cake. See you again, next Sunday!! read more

Piss poor customer service from some of the staff. Just have overall rude mannerisms. I get that when you work with people you become friends but save the friendship stuff for your personal time. They all seem short tempered, asking a simple question is received with attitude and frustration like they wish you never asked in the first place. They don't wear hair nets or gloves which is just suspect as hell. The Mac n cheese is salty and not tasty def will need some spicing up at home. My crab cakes look burnt, I haven't bothered to try them yet. This was my first time and will be my last, I won't be returning to this establishment. My family got food as well, hoping that, that is tastier than the Mac and cheese! read more

Didn't get a chance to take a picture of my plate due to having Miss Meal cramps,meaning I was hungry and and they offered dine in. Not my 1st time here, they know how to fix a plate. Meaning it's enough to share or have left overs. This is the side of town i was on when I got here from Atlanta right before the Pandemic hit. I had to really have a vegetable plate or soft food due to having one of my tooth spilt in half and having to eat on one side until I have it pulled in 7 days. Which means being a foodie I want be able to enjoy food on my birthday in 2 days and free or discounted food on Veterans day. I know not one of my usual post but this Crack tooth is ruining my experience. Don't worry I'll be back and make it up to those who read my post. read more

I was told I had to try this place. It took me 45 minute to get there and I can say it was a wasted 90 minutes that I'll never get back. When I entered the restaurant there were 7 employees just hanging around. The first impression was as badly as it could have been. No greeting, no "welcome to Levi's" or a simple "how can we help you?". When I ordered my food the person that took my order let me know that it would be 15 minutes. They have ready made meat for take out (I assume) and it looked like it had been there for a while so I was fine with waiting. When I got my food I was missing the extra side that I ordered but I didn't care at that point, I just wanted to eat. One piece of chicken was undercooked, but the other two pieces were ok. The mac and cheese was average but the greens were very good, but I wouldn't drive out of the way to eat here. The food doesn't make up for the crappy service. Even dine in customers are subjected to plastic silverware and a to go container for your food. I'm sitting in a booth eating out of a plastic container with plastic utensils like I'm at a homeless shelter. Overall the food was average and the customer service was atrocious. I try and support local, mom and pop businesses but service eventually says it all and the lethargic and uninterested employees here are as bad as I've seen. Go if you want but you'll feel like you're interrupting the staff from a break. Decent food, large portions but outside of that, my next trip to the area will be better spent at another place. read more

I went to this location on Sunday and everything was very good. I wish I knew the gentleman name who assisted me because he was on point with all of my requests.

I never understood why so many people went to Levi's for a dinner. I now know why...If you want some good soul food, go to Levi's. The food is GREAT!!! I don't go often but when I do, they never disappoint. The NC BBQ is a wait for the order, but worth it. The greens & the sweet potatoes are my favorite sides. They are so good, it will have you coming back for more. I hear the smothered food are good too. The huspuppies are great when they are hot. The dessert looks good too. I see alot of people ordering the sweet potato pies during the holiday seasons. Wanta give props to the chef and kitchen crew. You get three thumbs up. read more

My friend and I used to come here a lot a couple years back. We definitely have to go back again soon. But this is a nice restaurant. There are two sides to it. One is the bar area and where the entertainment is held, and the other is mainly the restaurant side. There is a live band there a couple days out of the week, I haven't been in so long so I forgot the days (sorry). The area where the bar is is a little tight, there aren't many chairs there. However, the restaurant side is pretty big. Our favorite bartender there is Q. She is real cool and very patient. They have happy hour there, I believe it ends at 7:00 pm. They have a good food selection on happy hour. Everything is either $3 or $5. They have wings for $5 that have fries included with it as well, you can't beat that. They also have security there after a certain hour. Overall this is a nice place. I highly recommend going there. I definitely recommend going there for happy hour to catch the good prices on the food and drinks! read more

For NYE we order 1/2 pan Mac&Cheese, 1/2 pan of Collard greens and 1/4 pan of Yams. Let me start with the positive, yams were very good, collard greens were OK, should have been cooked a lil longer. NOW!! The Mac &Cheese was something I never seen or taste before in my 41 years of living. They literally used sliced pasterurized cheese. It taste like they used slices of Kraft cheese mixed with unsalted noodles. No love! Please see pic. read more

Levi's Restaurant & Catering - Worst Mac&Cheese ever! Look at the corners, they used slice pasteurized cheese. Where the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, sharp cheese. ‍ - Soul Food Near Me - Clinton, Maryland

I would have given them a higher rating if the customer service was better. The food is usually on point and very good (North Carolina BBQ delicious and authentic) however the customer service makes you want to walk out and say forget it. My food took so long to be prepared about 10 others that ordered after me had their food prepared ahead of mine. If the staff was more in sync and friendlier then I could rate a lot higher. As I read the other reviews, again a lot of issues come down to the staff. They have conversations amongst each other, don't have a friendly greeting if they acknowledge you at all and, peoples orders set on the counter as part of mine did with no apologies. They (the staff) are just all over the place. The manager needs to hire or train the staff in customer service or they will lose a lot of business. read more

I had a long day and just came from the VA. hospital visiting my brother.I wanted something to eat.My other brother subjected to go to Levi's.

My son ordered the smothered pork chop dinner with mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese.His pork chops wasn't fresh and covered with gravy.The gravy was not completely cover the chops where you see the fried skin.My husband had the turkey wings dinner is needed to be cooked a little long.This need to improve because.Sunday night when I visited there was a lot of people supporting this business.Sorry I don't have pictures was so tried and disappointed about the food and the money send $43 on Smothered pork dinner,smothered chicken wings dinner,turkey wings dinner and 4 chicken wings . read more

This is definitely my go to spot for some quick ribs, tasty baked chicken, smothered chicken wings, yams and the best string beans asks the fried whiting is always fresh out the grease. My husband always gets the smothered pork chops from here. They have the whole array of selections. Just be careful of the desert, I accidentally brought my husband a molded slice of cheesecake. It was individually packaged so you have to be so careful with dairy! Otherwise the bar food is always fresh read more
