“We decided to get lunch here and were glad we did on our visit the week before the 4th. The place was very busy yet we were seated and our drink orders taken quickly.
We ordered our food and enjoyed our drinks talking about our day when our food arrived. I got the usual cheeseburger while the wife ordered shrimp and grits. Oh, I shouldn't forget my side of succotash.
Everything tasted great, the food was well done and delicious. Wife could not finish her dinner while I did not eat my chips as I wanted the succotash and brought the chips along with us for a later snack.
Friendly staff, nice atmosphere and great food. There was nothing to not like at the time of our visit.“

“Dining in Succotash was a pleasant experience. The interior is beautiful and the staff is friendly. As a fan of the Culinary Show, we are lucky to have tasted KY fried tofu and Ribeye Kalbi appeared on the show. I strongly recommend the Ribeye. It was very juicy and satisfying.“

“The wings were very good. However, the gumbo was not. It was very skimpy on the meat, and I didn’t find any okra at all. It was also a bit under-seasoned for my taste.

The Henry Pineapple Peach drink was good, but in my opinion, it wasn’t quite enough to share.

That said, Jordan was great! I hope I get seated in his section next time. He was very patient while we were being indecisive and provided excellent service throughout our visit.

We definitely want to come back and try brunch!“

“Now… let me explain…. There was no AC, and the manager Xavier seemed very ancy and unfortunately wasn’t very welcoming. BUT, Maekenzie made the expirence sooo much better. Her welcoming presence took the attention away from the heat and lit up the empty room. I asked about the lavender lemonade and she had mentioned she made it-so I tried it. FYI IT WAS AMAZING the lavender taste wasn’t to strong and made the drink verrryy unique. I tried the fries, fried chicken which was fried to perfection and tasty!!!I enjoyed the salmon Alfredo also. Everything was cooked very well and balanced.“

“Best fried chicken in the DMV, hands down. Good food at a good price. It’s literally a hole in the wall but who cares, they do what they do and keep the prices low as a result.

SO GLAD something in town hasn’t changed from the old days!“
