The space is a little loud but not overly so; we were still able to have a pleasant conversation. Highly recommended.

This review is offered as constructive feedback to the staff, management, and ownership of a restaurant we want to see succeed. Today we stopped in during Sunday brunch and placed a takeout order for one pound of brisket and jambalaya. The wait was approximately an hour. I understand that brunch is busy, and the restaurant appeared to be working with two servers, a bartender, a busser, and several people in the kitchen. The front-of-house staff seemed to be doing what they could. The issue appears to be kitchen execution and order flow. Operationally, an order consisting primarily of slicing a pound of already-prepared brisket and portioning jambalaya should not remain in the same production queue for an hour. This is less a staffing criticism than a process problem. Management may want to look at ticket prioritization, a dedicated expediter during peak periods, separation of simple takeout orders from full dine-in tickets, and clearer ownership of orders from receipt through handoff. When the food is already prepared, throughput should be measured in minutes, not an hour. That matters because a restaurant can have excellent food and hardworking people and still lose customers through a bottleneck in the process. The objective shouldn't be to make everyone work harder; it should be to design the kitchen flow so the same people can work smarter and move appropriate orders through faster. Parking has also become increasingly difficult and is worth considering as the restaurant continues to draw a crowd. None of this changes what we enjoy about Succotash. We love the food, the music, the authenticity and the character of the place. We'll be back. But an hour for this particular takeout order points to an operational problem worth fixing. Great food deserves equally great execution.

Located in the heart of the UNC Chapel Hill campus, this establishment brings the feel of real New Orleans with the food and beverage selection.

There is always a fun calendar of events featuring jazz musicians.

Not too "figgy" and not too sweet, well balanced and dangerously good :-) Finished with a delicious banana pudding that I would come back for, just for that.

This was more than enough for 3 people. We opted for the "Big Bang," which is a combination of their Cajun, garlic butter, and lemon pepper sauces added to the boil. The flavor is amazing. Just a few minutes after we ordered, they brought out a big plastic bag with the boiled food inside. They also brought out bibs and disposable gloves, because eating this amazing seafood gets messy. The food is perfectly cooked and the portions are very generous. A note about the sausage. Words cannot describe how good it is with these sauces. Just amazing!

And so my hopes for a positive experience deflated as soon as the dish arrived. Prior to that, things were going alright. Things weren't busy in this downtown establishment at lunchtime, so it was easy to get a seat. My order was taken quickly and filled quickly by a very polite and pleasant member of the staff. I was dining alone, so I took a spot at the bar, which seemed clean and well kept. The portion size of my entree was pretty good, and there was plenty of tail meat in the bowl. But to say the flavors were as flat as the color of the bowl's liquid contents would be accurate if perhaps even an understatement. Definitely not an accurate depiction of Louisiana cooking.

Being that it's in a food hall, if someone in your party doesn't particularly care of Locals, they can easily get something different.

We ordered: - 4 grilled oysters - a dozen raw oysters - shrimp po boy (with generous portions of shrimp) - some huge fish, maybe snapper? - kale salad Everything about this place is so fresh. You never have to wonder how long it's sat there or if there has been enough patrons to keep the supply fresh. You know at Locals that everything is always on point.
