Affordable and not too bad.... Styled as a cafeteria, most however get it to go and you place your order at the begining of the line, so you have to know what you want. The staff will not win points for their friendliness but they are not rude; just lacking in personality. This started out as a family owned, soul-food business and was sold and the new owner kept everything as it was. read more

I love Levi's. A lot of people have been commenting that the staff is rude but I've never experienced that and I'm a regular for the past three years. From day one they've always been friendly to me. You get what you give so when I go there I speak, I'm friendly and they are in return. The food is tasty. The fried chicken is seasoned perfectly and I love their greens, chitterlings, and yams. I've also had the whiting dinner and liver & onions both were tasty. Can't say that I'm a fan of their macaroni and cheese (it's very dry) or their ribs (meat was too tough and the sauce wasn't good). It's definitely a place you want to grab-n-go though. I've sat in and eaten there and had gnats flying around my food the entire time. read more

We went in around closing, missing most of the items on the menu, those ladies were mad and nasty. I stayed a gentleman, my sons 19 and 17 asked why they worked there, if they don't like people. I hope the owners know the pieces of work the have repping them. I live in the neighborhood. I will not be back. read more

We ordered Levi's for lunch in the office today. Only one word can describe the food - YUCK. I ordered the chicken and fish combo with string beans and mac. The string beans tasted like they came straight out of the can, the mac was tasteless and had a weird wateriness to it. The chicken and fish were mediocre. OMG, what a waste of money. My colleague who picked up the food said the lady at the register was beyond rude. So they serve up nasty food and a nasty attitude? Never again. Please don't waste your money here, I wish I had checked the Yelp reviews before deciding on this place. read more

I placed a catering order 2 weeks in advance for a small dinner party and the food was absolutely delicious!!! Levi's large pan dishes are definitely worth every dime. The taste is mouthwatering and the price is well worth it! My guests were completely satisfied with the yummy food they received. The pickup window scheduled was ready and on time. I will definitely use them again. I am so happy and pleased with their service!! Thanks Levi's Restaurant in Mitchellville, Md read more

I love levi's! I've been a loyal customer for over 10 years. the food is tasty. the staff....that's a different story. read more

Would have given a zero if I could. Ordered the banana pudding for Christmas and it was basically pudding that taste like crap. Barely any bananas and a few cookies. What a waste of money. Anyone that is posting positive comments from this location works there. Levi's is now owned by Asians. I'm sure that they are using the cheapest products and stretching the recipie. I had some this summer at a cookout, but I believe the folks got their food from another location for Levi's. Keep it moving and don't stop here. read more

Last couple times it was really good, the customer service was shifty horrible. Customer service was just horrible ,the guy preparing the plates was just rude. Be a long time before I return, was looking forward to dining here .Oh well . read more

This place is horrible. The food is disgusting and the 2 times I've gone there, I've gotten food poisoning. Never ever again!

My meal was 2 Turkey Wings, cornbread dressing, string beans, potato salad and cornbread. That mustard potato salad was excellent and delicious. Everything else was average to below average. My turkey wings were almost room temperature although it was on a heated burner. The gravy on the turkey wings and cornbread dressing tasted like canned gravy with no real flavor. The portion size was nice. My meal was edible. I have not eaten at Levi's restaurant in over 10 years, and I have no desire to go back. The customer service was below average to average. The 1st woman serving my food was decent and polite when serving my turkey wings and cornbread in the carryout box. The 2nd woman dishing my potato salad and string beans was impolite and has no manners. Her customer service skills were horrible. She should be in the back away from customers. I was unsatisfied with her mannerism and harshness. The cashier was curt and impolite. She didn't greet me or show any type of customer service at all. I was getting change out of my pocket to pay her, and she was huffing-puffing a little bit because I took several seconds (too long for her although the line was short with just 2 customers). The cashier was ratchet and needs a class on mannerism ASAP. I will NOT eat at Levi's restaurant again and regretted my choice of choosing them for dinner tonight. My stomach ached after I ate it too. Save your $$$. There are much better Soul Food restaurants with POLITE staff in the area. I purchased my meal at approximately 8:30 pm. read more

The customer service at the Lake Arbor location is horrible. The cashier/s are rude and unprofessional and don't care about how they treat the customers. It's has if they are doing me a favor as oppose to treating a paying customer with respect and appreciation. It's unfortunate that the management at that location don't care about their customers. The staff at the Clinton location are friendly, professional and caring for their customers. They even commented that they hear how terrible the service at Lake Arbor is and it's the same management. Go figure! There is never an excuse for bad service...bad food I can understand and will give it another try but continuous rude and unprofessional staff is just unacceptable. Taking my business we're am appreciate has a valued customer. read more

I want to start off by saying how rude and unprofessional the staff is. I wanted to curse the lady serving the food out so bad for being so nasty to my mother. Way too expensive and the food was nowhere near worth the way we were treated in this dirty ass establishment. The lady serving the food was literally a disgrace. The woman at the register had on a bonnet with a nasty attitude as well. Just horrible. Canned yams, burned and soggy pork bbq sandwich, greens tasted like motor oil. Should've just went to the one in Clinton. They will never get my money again. If anyone gives this place a good review they are obviously naive, or liars. read more

This was my first time visiting Levi's Restaurant and my very last time also the food look good behind window but once I tasted it awful I will never Go there again not will I refer anyone to this place not only food no good the staff was very unprofessional attitude Friday 8-10-18. They didn't want to take order then I'm paying and you tell me to hurry up had I known I would have left . read more

This was a bad day truly for Levi's. I called before 11 am to ask about their lunch specials as my co-workers too wanted to order. I asked for the price for lunch specials and was told they don't give prices over the phone. I was then told to look on the website which I was already looking at with no prices. I then asked to place an order and was hung up on twice. When I called back and placed my order I was told 15 minutes. I arrived 30 minutes later to find two staff having an altercation. One who was ringing up orders was being very nasty and rude when another employee arrived and punched in. The employee then took the phone from the other and hung it up while she was speaking with a customer. The employee was fussing while clocking in using profanity and the other employee was talking under her breath. Needless to say it was a lot of unprofessionalism going on but I am not surprised especially by the way the Owner handles business with not wanting prices given over the phone. The means they are most likely quoting different prices for different people. I patronize this place because it is near my job, however it is never my first choice and will probably never return at this point because even the customer service is horrible. Then we wonder why others wont patronize our businesses. read more

Once upon a time, this place was on top of everybody's list. Now, I see why most people I come across strongly dislike it. The quality of food isn't great anymore and the customer service is horrendous. The staff is extremely rude. Especially the woman behind the register. I swear if I hadn't swiped my credit card I would've walked out. I would love to go into a long spill of my last experience here. However, I don't want to type a 2 page essay. Just don't eat here. You can get more bang for you buck and feel more appropriated elsewhere. read more

I went there for the first time, but left empty handed. It was so dark behind the counter I couldn't see the food to make a choice and could barely see the employees serving so I left. I literally couldn't tell what was in the case. Makes you wonder what they were hiding or were they just conserving energy. Maybe next time. read more

Not sure how the food tastes. Saw a roach and rolled out. From the rest of the reviews it looks like the roach did me a favor.

I use to be a Fan of Levi's. I think I'm going to stick with Carolina Kitchen or Henry's Soul Cafe. Their service is better and way more professional and their staff is not having conversations with each other using profanity. I walk in and didn't know the order of how things go because it's been awhile since I've been and i guess interupted the girls conversation that she was having with the cashier. I'm the only one in line and she sends me to someone else to take my order. Then she eventually gets my food and doesn't even acknowledge me when i said ok I'm back, I'm sorry i didnt know who was taking my order she said nothing to me because she's still having a conversation with the cashier. I will say the dining room was clean and the water in the back was a nice touch. I usually don't send bad reviews but i felt they were just very unprofessional. But no worries, it's too many Soul food places i can choose from i just have to remember to tell my church family not to come here. read more

I've always heard things about this place for years so I finally gave it a try. I love soul food but I am picky at times so when I try somewhere new I keeps it simple. I had the chicken wings dinner with mac n cheese, cabbage and rice n gravy. I also tried the lemon cake with lemon icing. I will say it's not the best but not the worst. It was fresh and seasoned nicely. I didn't have to put no salt on pepper on it. I will give it one more try and see if the Salisbury steak is any good if not I will stick with my Pops house for a good soul food meal like I have been for years. read more

Levi's Restaurant - Chicken Wings Dinner w/ mac n cheese and rice n gravy - Soul Food Near Me - Mitchellville, Maryland

The boss must be horrible because I have never seen a group of more angry and just sad people. The employees all looked pissed. Not one cracked a smile, none spoke a word to each other. It was like they were robots. Also the service is sooo slow here. read more

Garbage. Utter garbage. This is not authentic soul food by any means. True soul food connoisseurs know exactly what I mean.

I was hungry and not feel like cooking... I said let me go and see what this restaurant is all about! Before going, I looked at the reviews and it was very disappointing. I wanted to see for myself and it was also true... The crabcakes had a lot of bread stuffing in them. The collar greens were extremely salty! Also, kids love mac & cheese but after she looked at the mac & cheese, she said I don't want it mommy it looks fake SMH! The cheese looks like it's cheese whiz or something else I can't explain... The noodles are very gummy and overcooked. I guess I'm back to cooking tonight... I just found out it's owned by Asians SMH! I wish I can get back there in the kitchen and see what's really going on! read more

I agree with Everyone else's reviews. Service was eh but food was very lacking. I really don't Know why so many people are here! The macaroni and cheese tasted like pasta and margarine. Really disappointing. read more

I used to go here all the time when I lived around the corner from it. Now that I'm not on that side of town, it's very rare I go. I see nothing has changed! Is the minimum requirement to work here a nasty and disdainful attitude toward their job? The food is decent for a soul food restaurant (no soul food spot ever tastes like my Grandma's) but I mean damn...don't apply to a job in customer service if you know you possess ZERO customer service skills. Whenever I do go, I have to prepare myself while walking in...it usually goes like this : "You already know what you're walking into. You chose to come here and deal with these people. You're here now so you might as well get some food so you don't have to cook. Don't pop off, just order and be out." I have the same reaction every time I leave "Why did these people even apply to work here, you can't hate life that much." That is way too much to think about just for some half seasoned fried chicken! The service alone is enough to really make me change my rare visit to a never visit. I guess they're doing something right; they've been in business since forever with the same type of staff: shitty. read more

I am not sure why this restaurant has such a low number of stars. The only reason I would say is the service and decor. The food however is great. They have some of the best Turkey wings, Fried Chicken Wings, Backed Mac and Cheese, Collard Greens and corn bread in the area. I purchased a 4 wing dinner, BBQ turkey wing dinner, Backed Turkey wing dinner, Trout dinner for the family and only paid 40 bucks. The service is pretty bad however. The people behind the counter either should find another line of work or try to make the best of what they have because they usually look angry and have attitudes. I hate going to a restaurant and feeling like there doing me a favor when they are fixing my food. Oh, and do not change your order...it will be eyes rolling and huffing and puffing to deal with. Pretty sad. The decor could use a great deal of updating. The dining area looks like something out of a 70's restaurant from the south with one T.V. as you enter the dining area. Mental note to management. Do not put the silver wear and napkins by the T.V.. In summary, Levi's is a good place to get a quick bite to eat at an affordable price. They have large servicing sizes and tasty food. It is not a place I would frequent but if I am in the area and have a taste for soul food I will spend my money there.

TERRIBLE. I ordered two fish dinners yesterday 3/18/2014 Do not eat here unless you are drunk and your tastebuds have left the building. My food should have been given to a dog. The place has the potential to be great and it falls short of even mediocre. I was so dissappointed in the nasty fish stuffed with Sh*t That horrific food had the nerve to be $21.00. Ill never go back unless they hire another chef. I'm a foodie and simple food really should taste so much better than the food I ate which just left me hungry and full of sadness for my wasted money and food. Dogs beware of the throw a- way food read more

This is the worst place in the history if food. Pulled up in front of the restaurant, worker had on a white apron with a white rag that was apparently dark brown due to it being so damn filthy. The food looked good, but I refused to spend my money here. The customer service is the worst, I've been to places where it was ghetto and the customer service was crap but this place was unbelievable. Cooks were ignoring the customer wants and none of them wore a net over their hair, which was a food safety violation and also nasty. One female answered her phone while working and making food. They do NOT wear gloves. Smh. And the cashier was having a conversation with the cook taking her sweet ass time checking people out. I would never recommend this place to anyone. The one in oxon hill is a lot better than this one. Awful. read more

Visited Levi's this evening and the entire meal was absolutely terrible. The ribs were tough as nails. The chicken wings were shot with hormones they were so big.. The vegetables were ALL canned. I wanted to speak with the manager but the cashier said he did not speak english and would not understand what we were saying. She said to come back tomorrow when the wife (owner) was there. They also refused to give us a refund. The face of Levi's are young african americans but the owners are asian selling so called "soul food". Never will I step my foot in that establishment again....... read more

As the proud product of classic southern cooking, born and raised in Kentucky to a mother from Alabama, let me just say this: Levi's gets the stamp of approval. I just had the catfish which immediately took me back to the Friday fish fry at church and greens that could've been made by any one of my aunties. The sweet potatoes and macaroni were delicious but let's just say they're nowhere near my momma's. By some marvel of modern science, the cornbread seems perfectly engineered to satisfy sweet and non-sweet cornbread connoisseurs alike by landing that perfect balance between the two. My wife and daughter also swear by the green beans. However, Levi's is not without fault. The younger staff seems untrained or at the least, unconcerned with representing themselves and Levi's in a professional manner. Waiting 15 mins for cafeteria style food because everyone under 21 is literally doing nothing is ridiculous. Also, contrary to popular belief, the smell of cleaning products thrust immediately upon you while walking in does not inspire confidence that the establishment is actually, you know, clean. All in all, I would definitely come back, bring my momma, and recommend to others. But Levi's, TRAIN your staff! read more

used to be one of my favorite place to eat but now it's just food is just tasteless

The food is good. I have the smothered pork chops mashed potatoes and gravy with cabbage. I tried the whiting fried fish as well. The service isnt all that great. Its like you walk up and get, What would you like? And it feel like a buzzer went off. You have exactly 20 seconds to order. Dont ask any questions just order and keep it moving! So the food is great but the customer service is worthless. The area where you eat has a warm home feeling but you have to eat out of your to go box. read more

This place is always packed with customers but I have no idea why. Most of the meat was indiscernible and laid in thick gravy. The vegetables were too sweet and limp and the catfish was soggy. I can do better for less at Horace & Dickie's. read more

Guess I should read yelp before going to restaurants. Went Sunday after church for the first time. I got the seafood platter, crab cake, fish, shrimp with sides of mac and cheese and stringbeans. I'm not going to talk about the staff, because for me if the food is good, I don't care how piss poor the staff may act. But I have asked several people this question, who puts relish in the crabcakes and if it is not relish I would love to know what it is. The fish was dry and shrimp over cooked. Greenbeans were ok, strange seasoning used. The mac and cheese had cheese on the top, I got home and made a cheese sauce to add then I at it. The cornbread was extremely dry. Ok, I tried and I will not return. If you looking for large serving this is the place, if you looking for quality of food this is not. read more

I recently went to get a fried pork chop dinner, it was the absolute worse it was hard, no seasoning and dry, I took one bite and immediately threw it out...I've gone there before for it and that's why I went out of my way to go there, so i wasn't returning, the food and service was bad, the woman that serves the food was very rude. read more

BAD BUSINESS!!! After the follow up of yesterday's review we were told that we could place another order today FREE of charge! Well the OWNER reneged and requested that we could BRING the food back from YESTERDAY (what are they going to do? Recycle it?) or PAY HALF PRICE on what we ordered yesterday. Instead of apologizing and making a WRONG a RIGHT, she defended the quality of the food! All I can say is EAT THERE if you WANT to, but you DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT US! Patrons: STAY WOKE when it comes to these reviews! #MeTHINKSNOT! It won't let you submit your review if you don't give a rating! Had no choice put to pick one star! read more

This was probably the worst soul food meal I've ever had. I stopped here tonight before picking my son up from daycare. I ordered the smothered pork chops meal with yams and collard greens. I also ordered a separate side of yams and green beans. The pork chops would have been fine had they been seasoned properly, salt was definitely needed. The collard greens were the worst. They were gritty as if they were not cleaned prior to cooking. The taste and smell of them wasn't good at all. They appeared to be scorched. I took one bite and threw them into the trash. The yams had decent flavor but it was clear someone didn't bother to properly peel away all of skin of the yams making them tough to eat. The green beans were overly salted but somewhat tastey to be from the can. Overall, I hated my meal which cost me $18. Never again. read more

Good hot soul food. Clean facility. Loved it. I'm there every Sunday

The service was horrendous, the staff were discussing their weekend plans and swearing every other word. They did not acknowledge us, and when we were ready to order they were rude and then continued their unprofessional conversations. We got back to the hotel and the food is not good either. The rice and mac and cheese are very bland. Where the Carolina BBQ is incredibly spicy. I am not from the area, but I would absolutely not come back to this place. read more

The food was okay. We arrived on a Sunday when they opened. The fried chicken wasn't hot and seemed to have been sitting for awhile. The greens were okay. The mac and cheese lacked flavor. I will say that I do appreciate the concept of all food is in a to go container so you can eat what you want, close the box, and move on. The service was lacking and I had to ask a patron a question. read more

This was worst food I've tasted. Had the the stuff trout with Mac n cheese, cabbage with a side of peach cobbler. All of it tasted old as if it was there all day. After one taste of each item, everything went in the trash. This is unfair because the meal was costly and I should've got what I paid for. Never again. I should've check the reviews before going. read more
