Food was incredible. Service was small town slow. Blackened catfish was so flavorful and blackened perfectly. One of the best blackened I've had. The filet was thick and juicy. Was impressed. The peach drink was delicious can't recall the name. Didn't want to stop cause I'm from Nola so didn't want Cajun food but it was good. read more

Arrived, expecting a full house, to find just another couple. Very traditional southern menu. Husband raved about his catfish bites. Tried the special of fried chicken on biscuits with a honeyed sauce. Meh at best. My shirt smelled greasy once outside. read more

Am absolute MUST stop!! Great vibe and great people, but WOW is the food fantastic!! The blackened catfish is just to die for. We won't forget our night at Levon's!!! read more

It's a SOLID spot! Traveled out of NYC to Mississippi for good Blues Music and food, and this place delivered! A good assortment of Southern style dishes, including local caught food. Next time I hope to catch the music performance along with the delicious food! read more

Levon's has a decent menu and a good range of drinks. The catfish was great, as was the salmon. They also have live music, although, surprisingly in blues town USA, the singer was not playing blues. This place is a solid choice in a town which punches above its weight with places to eat. read more

Cool vibes abound. Local brews on tap and a great fare of winded food choices. I'm a fan of seafood, so the blackened catfish and shrimp and grits were easy choices. The shrimp and grits is quite tasty, not as dense with grits as other preparations and the shells and heads have been removed. Catfish, tender, good flavors and the smoky sausage bits. Yum. The wedge salad is a classic and the spring salad added cheese and nuts. Music. We went on a night without live entertainment and the music was a very eclectic 80s mix. Not at all what I expected l . read more

Levon's Bar and Grill - a man sitting at a table - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Clarksdale, Mississippi

It was pretty good. I got the Mac n cheese with chicken and it was delicious. The lava cake was a disaster though. Not an ounce of liquid inside the cake. Just a dense "brownie". Everything else was good. read more

Avoid this place like the plague. Terrible service, awkward unwelcoming interior, merely passable food. With so many interesting places to eat in Clarksdale don't waste a stop here. If you are looking on Yelp to find a place, do yourself a favor and head over to Hooker's grocery read more

The service was awful and instead of apologizing they justified a one and a half hour wait to actually receive the food. My wife ordered the salmon which was Luke warm with cold mashed potatoes. While I understand that we are still in a pandemic the poor attitude of most of the staff made the visit a poor one. read more

Ok we loved this place. We had kacia as a waitress and she was awesome. She added to the ambiance of the early Xmas decorations and the two chefs who came out to greet us. We loved the Mac n cheese dish, the shrimp and grits and the salmon. And I'm choosy. The drinks were fantastic. The lemon drop. The Moscow mule and the half peach schnapps and half vodka. Good drinks. Good food. Good company. Y'all come back now. Great place for a fun dinner. read more

First to order at my table, food came out an hour and a half later, everyone else had gotten theirs 40 minutes earlier. Had to take mine to go cause everyone was ready to leave. read more

What an excellent place! Very accommodating to our large group! We knew they would be busy during the Juke Joint Festival, so we called in advance and reserved a table. We all had such a fun time, the live music was impressive and lively! The bartender and entire wait staff were all very friendly! It was kindof hectic in there, with the festival going on, but they did a great job! The food did take a little while to get to us, but like I said- we were a large group, and it was during a festival. Completely understandable! Hope to come back next year, and will definitely be visiting Levon's when I do! :) read more

Levon's Bar and Grill - the Ultimate Mac & Cheese with added fried chicken! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Clarksdale, Mississippi

Food was great, libations even better, which we expected. What we didn't expect was the fabulous service! Our server was Jonathan. He made us feel welcomed and served us with the utmost care. We'll definitely be going back, and I do hope that Jonathan will be our server again. He is a huge asset to Levon's! read more

The fried shrimp was wonderful .....but don't order the Gumbo!! It was a bowlful of rice with a little liquid (not the thick roux that usually exists in Gumbo). There was Sausage (Boudin?), Chicken and Carrots. We went, for the Gumbo, because we had eaten it there another visit and it was wonderful. Our server was great and Levon's has moved some tables out to accommodate social distancing. read more

The one stars is for our waiter I failed to get his name. But he was the only good thing about our experience. The entire experience was sad. Now I know you are reading this because you are here for a festival. To hear some great music and to help keep this town alive. That is why we are here. And why we return yearly. But you know what I am disheartened by the local stores new And old taking advantage of us monetarily. So I am going to review them as honesty as they truly deserve. With out the excitement and with out the ohhhh they were busy. Let's go ahead and excuse them, attitude. I ordered the cheese burger and he ordered the shrimp pasta. I will start with his meal. He had to pull the shell off of a the shrimp. Really? You didn't even bother to take the tail off while preparing it? Oh wait it was frozen wasn't it?he had to dip his fingers into the sauce and pick up the shrimp which was rubbery and over cooked and then place it back In the pasta. The sauce was nothing to write home about. Now the cheese burger two Pattie's on a brioche bun. That is alot of meat you would think, But you would be wrong. The Pattie's are the preformed fresh out of a box from the freezer section at their local Wally World type burger. Burnt never tasted so bland. And the reason it was a double burger was because one lil frozen pattie wouldn't cover the bun. The French fries that came with it Luke warm and limp. No salt or pepper to give any of the meal flavor. As far as drinks a crown and sprite 10 buck. And house wine about the same. As tourist we know what the printed paper menu is. It means the price is jacked up. The tourist are here to spend money. But if they don't come back, they won't be spending any. My check came to 71 dollars. Your town needs the tourist money to exist. Buy some real menus. Get some better help. I don't mind spending, but, when the food tastes like cafeteria style food: poorly executed at high end prices. It is insulting. And you can be shocked by this and say well there was a festival going on. Excuse me? There is always something going on that is this towns revenue maker. Get some competent help! Make them follow the health code of at the very least pulling back the butt length hair. If you want to be an honest to goodness 5 star establishment then start portraying yourself as one. Or you could always depend on local support only. To the tourist. Stop accepting shoddy service and product because you are excited to be here for the music. If you wouldn't accept it at home from local places why would you accept it here? They new we were coming. They just didn't care. read more

We spent a few nights in Clarksdale on a road trip and had dinner at Levon's. I had the salmon and my husband had the shrimp and grits. Both dishes were delicious We LOVED this place and when we make our way back to Clarksdale, we Will be back! read more

Came with a group from a hunting camp in the middle of nowhere. We drove to town and found this COOL place. We were all more than pleased with the vibe, menu, staff, drinks, appetizer and our meals. We got the lemon drop & Moscow mules- bartender did a great job! We ordered the pulled pork nachos as our app, we all 4 loved it! I got the meat ravioli with mushrooms & bacon- it was more herby than seasoned (which I love) and not super heavy like most cream sauces. The shrimp & grits were delicious with very creamy, thick grits. And the brisket and hash was cooked awesome. Overall this was a great experience and, as an outsider, it's hard to believe that a place like this is here in Clarksdale. Has the vibes of a local set up in New Orleans (we are from Louisiana). And the meal prices were reasonable! Drinks were a little on the expensive side for a place like this, but from our experience, worth the price because says they were great! read more

My husband and I flew from California to attend an annual music festival in Clarksdale, Mississippi. This was a 4 day festival. On day 2, we went to Levon's for dinner. We arrived at 7:00 p.m., but there were no tables available, so we made a reservation for 8:00. They seated us promptly at 8. We had had an opportunity to review the menu online while we were waiting, so we ordered right away. My husband ordered a wedge salad and blackened catfish. I ordered an appetizer of baked Brie which was to be served with crackers. For my main course, I ordered a bacon cheeseburger. 45 minutes went by. My husband went and asked our waiter why we hadn't gotten any food, yet. After a lame excuse, they brought out his wedge salad. We then had to ask for silverware. Another 15 minutes went by before they brought out my Brie, which was served with a handful of Ritz crackers. Another 15 minutes went by before they brought out my burger. The waiter said, "Are we missing anything?", to which we both replied, "Yes....the catfish!" Since it had not yet begun to be prepared, my husband declined it, and we ended up splitting my burger, which was average, at best. The waiter asked us where we were from. When we told him, he said, "Oh, and I suppose they do everything perfectly there!" Do yourself a favor and eat elsewhere? read more

Delicious food and a friendly atmosphere! I had a special, the Italian Toastie, and it was delicious, like a southern take on a monte Cristo. The server was prompt, friendly and a letter to answer questions I subbed spinach side for fries with no problems. It is a bit noisy, even without the band, but I would definitely return here. read more

Thank God this fabulous restaurant is still with us. Went for dinner last night. Excellent safety measures, plexiglass around tables and mandatory masks. The food was to die for. Shrimp and Grits, creamy and delicious. Filet Penne pasta with mushrooms was just about the best thing I've eaten in a decade. Topped off with Bananas Foster that makes my mouth water when I think about it. If you haven't eaten at Levon's you are not living your best life. Twenty five stars! read more

Food is good but service is pretty slow & it takes a really long time to get food. Had the fried shrimp & cheese grits. Both really good. Brussels sprouts were just ok and tasted like they had been frozen. This is not fine dining & what they serve is easy to make. Not the best in town but good. read more

A true gem in the Mississippi Delta, Levon's is definitely deserving of the 5 stars. It's an inviting spot in downtown Clarksdale that's a must for anyone passing through (primarily Blues tourism). The drink selection is very thorough for a small town venue and the service was excellent. Most importantly, their Cheeseburger was what warranted the 5 stars. I'm from Chicago home to many a burger connoisseur and this was on par with the Au Cheval's and Loyalists of the Windy City. Hop on down to the birthplace of the blues, Clarksdale, MS and Levon's will not disappoint! read more

We ate dinner here while in town for the annual Juke Joint Festival in April. Was surprised to see so many gluten free options, including pizza. The gumbo was delicious, though extra thick, more like etoufee, with lots of smoky andouille. Continuing the Louisiana-inspired theme, the boudin balls (sausage and rice, like Cajun arancini) were a tasty appetizer. So were the catfish nuggets: lightly coated with corn flour for just enough crunch without being too gritty from too much corn meal like at other places. There is a stage for musicians. A blues guitarist had it on the night we came in. Service was friendly. Would definitely recommend this spot in the heart of the Delta. read more

Have visited annually when there for Hambone Blues Festival. Always have a large group but the service and food are always great. I usually get pizza, pasta or seafood, I've never heard complaints from anyone in our group. read more

Very friendly service with lots of menu options. We got the artichoke and eggplant pizza which was absolutely delicious. The 5th star is taken away for the nasty, dirty ladies room. Its an upscale place that should do better in that area. We really liked it here and came several times during our 2 week visit just for drinks, meals and even football. They have live music too. The staff is very friendly and helpful with goings on in the area. Thanks for treating us tourists like friends! Now clean the ladies room!!! read more

I don't write reviews very often so maybe this should be an indicator of the restaurant's quality. I cannot comment on the food at Levon's because after sitting at the table we were shown, I was never given service by wait staff. Typically this would not be an issue, except I asked twice for menus for our table and, alas, the menus never arrived. We left 20 minutes of watching others eat and went to Abe's because, unlike Levon's, Abe's won't let you down. read more

My goodness! This place is awesome. The food was delicious and the entertainment was amazing. The service was friendly and quick. There was a band playing and they did a wonderful job. I had the carbonara spaghetti and my friend had the shrimp scampi. Both dishes were so delicious, we both scarfed down our meals. The carbonara spaghetti was the best meal I've had in the last few days between Memphis and Mississippi. read more

I love this place. They just started pizza and it's fantastic. Everything is excellent on the menu and the drinks are great too.

Food, drinks and company all amazing! You'll feel just like family! I had the pork chop with asparagus and potatoes with a bourbon glaze. It was great!! So many good options on the menu read more

My husband and I had spent a couple of hours at Red's and weren't quite ready to head back to the hotel. We didn't really think anything would be open late and were surprised to find Levon's. It looked really new and was nicely decorated. We only sat at the bar so I can't speak to the food. I think the owner was behind the bar (a friendly Australian woman) and she happily described the local beer options to us. Overall friendly and a lot nicer inside than a lot of what you find in the area. I would go back to try the food. read more

5 of us ate here because we came in town for a wedding. We all had different meals and couldn't stop raving. The mushroom sauce on a steak was one of the best we ever had. Shrimp and grits that are mouthwatering and many other awesome dishes. Great vibe and music scene as well read more

Great food and atmosphere! Had a really good burger! All the food on menus looked so good; I wish we would have eaten here for dinner the night before. The waitress seemed a little distracted but other than that we enjoyed and will definitely go back for the food. The music had just stopped when we arrived so hopefully next time we will catch some tunes. read more

Great atmosphere and even better service. Do yourself a favor and try the friend green tomatoes with shrimp. Yum!

What a great place for both the entertainment and the food. Recommended to us and we were pleased and enjoyed ourselves. Will definitely return again when in the area. read more

Levon's seemed to be one of the very few places open on Sunday night so we were happy to find it. We shared shrimp/crab nachos which were okay, and a salad that was nice and fresh. Service was good. All in all, a fine experience but not anything special. read more

We wanted to like it .... we wanted a good meal. We came to Clarksdale to enjoy the rural delta and the beauty of the area. Unfortunately this restaurant did not make the cut. Flys we're all over the windows and our table and they were buzzing all around us. We travel with a legitimate service dog. We have the proper documentation with us at all times, so when the owner came to ask us for her card we gladly showed her and allowed her to make a copy of the registration. But, that attention to detail stopped there ..Not enough silverware and napkins , had to ask three people for a refill of ice tea . Fried Green tomatoes were tasty but the 10 ounce filet was of poor quality, full of fat and tasted like it was from the bottom of the freezer and had no flavor . It was gross. The vegetables were mushy . The server should never been allowed to be a server on a busy night ... She was terrible. Where was the Aussie during this time . Bananas foster were a sugary mess and took 20 minutes to come out . I would not eat here again . More like a cafeteria than a full service restaurant. read more
