Texas BBQ with an Eastern Mediterranean twist. Unique flavors and perfectly cooked portions, you can tell there is respect and care put into every bite.

The service is akin to a small-town diner - something that’s been sorely missing from many similar joints tucked firmly within the heart of Houston. It’s actually almost disarming to see a BBQ joint this cleanly and well-maintained. And, the whole staff up and down the line are fantastic, both friendly and attentive. Specifically, Joshua, who you’ll likely meet first, sets the tone with his welcoming vibe and recommendations. I actually stopped by the month they opened and he was just as pleasant then as he is now. The pessimistic side of your brain always tells you that this kind of pleasantry probably gets beaten out of you after spending months working within any restaurant, but this man is too decent of a human being to go down any other path.

Y’all, let’s face it… we’ve all had BBQ. 10s, maybe 100s, of times in our lives. For the most part, we know what we’re in for. That’s why when you get the chance to explore a fusion such as this, you grab a fork and ask questions later. The flavors that they’re combining here at Levant are so refreshing that they’ve got me taking 5 minutes out of my day just to write this review… I don’t even write reviews. And, to tell you the truth, I’d classify this one as more of a public service announcement - a sense of duty to make sure this establishment gets the acknowledgment they deserve.

So, with that being said, do yourself a favor and get on over to Levant. You never know what meal might be your last, but I know I’d die a happy man if Levant’s BBQ is...

A perfect mixture of Texas BBQ with a Mediterranean twist! I absolutely love this place! I had a taste for some BBQ; specifically I wanted some brisket. I had been up and down Westheimer during my stay in Houston and I couldn't help, but to notice this fine restaurant. The guy cooking the brisket was very friendly and assisted me with my order. When I watched him cut that brisket, it was juicy and appeared as delicious as it tasted. I'm not exaggerating, but my mouth was watering as I saw him cut it. The chicken quarter was seasoned to perfection. For the sides, I had the Mediterranean style baked beans and potato salad and they were very delicious! You get quite a bit for the price you pay. I washed it all down with a Dr. Pepper which was refreshing. You can tell they change out the softdrink station regularly as the soda I had was not flat!

The staff was customer friendly and I love the attire of the women! It went really well with the theme of the restaurant. They were courteous also and gave me a piece of baklava on the house because it was my first time there.

The bathroom was clean. The layout of the restaurant is very elaborate! There is a dining area attendant who keeps it clean as people get up from their tables after completing their meal, so the restaurant is immaculate! Overall, I think the concept of this restaurant is amazing and I plan to tell everyone I can about it and...
