Andrea manager greeted us the the door and she was nice, told us wait for the hostess. Also after our meal she also checked I'm on how things were going and our opinion. Later Sharee the hostess came up and was also nice. It says a lot when you come in the door and everyone is positive and has a great attitude. Loved that so much. Our server was Jason. He was nice, attentive, and funny. He checked in on us mutilple times, gave suggestions, we asked questions about the menu and he was able to guide us based on what we were looking for. Overall he just made the experience for us so pleasant. Food and drinks were great. We had fried chicken and waffles with smoked wings. Both were great. Fried chicken 1 of the pieces was over cooked but honestly it wasn't bad. I had no business eating 3 pieces anyways . Wings with the sauce were so good. We enjoyed both. Drinks we had hey peaches, belle's punch, garden mule. Honestly it was a great time and with an amazing team. Andrea Sharee and Jason, Thank You all!

The ambiance is magnificent. You truly feel like you're eating in a spot that is elevated than its competition. Seriously high ceilings, beautiful decor and finishes on the trim & floors, etc. The service matched the environment- top notch & knowledgeable. $150 (with tip) for 4 people. Not too bad. The French toast is finished by being caramelized with Frosted Flakes, giving a crunchy finish that was quite delightful. Not too much syrup comes with the dish, so you may want to ask for more if you need it. The bacon was glorious. Maple glazed, cooked perfectly, tender but crispy. Good portion. The mashed potatoes are the best that I've had in DC. Crunchy from the skin, seasoned (rare imo), finished with garnishes. Sauces available upon request. My mocktail was okay, nothing to write home about. The cornbread is a great starter for the table. Would recommend

Tl;dr go for brunch I have been to Succotash twice before this review. Once for brunch and once for dinner during restaurant week. This review will encompass both experiences but lean heavily on the dinner. Overall, restaurant week is a scam and restaurants are never on their A game during this time. Avoid it if you can. The things that were on the restaurant week menu will be delineated with RW Now for the things we ordered. Coffee and cigarettes- whiskey forward. Not super well balanced, especially for the price. Very coffee forward Whiskey sour- luxardo syrup on top makes the texture of the foam weird. Drink underneath a bit watery Smoked Chicken wings- the most amazing thing I've ever eaten. We were not in agreement here, but I was a big fan. Order these Corn chowder (RW)- meh. Good corn flavor, ridiculously undersalted and the lobster inside was overcooked and unseasoned. Duck breast (RW) -ok not great. The duck itself was a bit chewy and the fat was not rendered properly. The sauce was good. The caulini had no flavor. But the star of the plate was the corn pudding. It was like a slightly fudgier corn bread that I wish I could've ordered a whole tray of Catfish- good. Would order again. Not the biggest plate and the sides were lame. The breading to fish ratio is very low. So not perfect Carrot cake (RW)- bad. Smallllllll plate. Tiny. The cake itself barely had carrot or cinnamon flavor, the cream cheese ice cream was strangely textured and flavored. The brittle was good tho, but you only got a quarter sized amount. Conversely, I had an amazing experience at brunch. Delicious belles punch. Great wings. Crunchy and sweet French toast. The most delicious maple bacon. Refreshing and tasty fried green tomato salad, and some of the best cheesy grits to top it off. My conclusion is that I would go back for brunch, but they are going to have to do some work to come back for dinner

What a pleasant experience! From the moment we stepped inside, I felt very relaxed and was stunned by the beautiful dining room. It was so bright and airy. We had some stragglers in our party, but they seated us in a timely fashion. We pretty much tried everything on the menu and everything was delicious. Se were especially surprised by the shrimp and grits, that was the perfect warm meal. Can't wait to go back!

I hadn't been to succotash since WELL before the pandemic. So finally I got a chance to go back for brunch. The space is gorgeous and the service was friendly and attentive. We liked just about everything. My friend said the hush puppies seemed off. We mentioned it to the manager, who said he'd look into it. The biscuits are wonderful and come out warm and with seasonal jam. Shrimp and grits, Chesapeake Benedict, and French toasts were the biggest hits. I had the delta bowl. It was more spicy than I expected, but good if you like a little heat. The frozen peach drink "hey peach" was really enjoyable, and their spin on the old fashioned with a hint of banana was lovely. We all want to go back.

Immensely atmospheric experience thanks to a beautiful interior, professional service, and well thought out menu items. Their rendition of chicken and waffles is likely the best I've had; I also enjoyed the complementary textures and flavors of the pickled okra and bourbon maple syrup. I loved the presentation and taste of the pimento cheese hush puppies, paired lusciously with the cajun aioli. I tried a bite of my partner's pimento cheese burger, perfectly made to medium-rare and seasoned well. Found the asian touch of gochujang ketchup to be unique and enhancing. Even the fries deserve an honorable mention because they were perfectly chewy yet had bite, and seasoned adequately. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the cocktails. Tried both the Southern Sangria and Belle's Punch. The former was so refreshing and the flavors of the bourbon blended so well with the red wine, watermelon, and orange liqueur. I typically do not enjoy bubbles in my drinks, but Belle's Punch executed flawlessly on their combination of bourbon, mango-infused vodka, peach, and mint. If we did not have to rush to an event in the evening, we would probably have indulged in more off the menu. Would love to return to try the tasting menu or for dinner!

This was my first time visiting Succotash and I went for brunch. For brunch we had the following: Bacon 10/10 Shrimp and grits 10/10 Deviled eggs (get the bacon ones) 8/10 French toast 10/10 The staff is amazing shoutout to Tre who was my server for the day. The ambiance is nice, we sat on the first level and the next time we go I would like to set on the top level. What makes this place unique is that it used to a be a bank. Would def be back again.

A great time for lunch is 1pm! This was my first time here and I will make plans to return. The hostess was trying to seat the last of the lunch rushers with reservations and our buddy lunch reservation for two was going to be delayed for 10 minutes. Well, It did not even take that long before we were seated. It was lively but not too noisy for a lunch crowd but by the time we were finished; you could tell how more relaxed and quiet the restaurant had become. The food lived up to many of the posts here in YELP!
