I really liked this spot. I was brought here by friends while I was in town and found the entire experience enjoyable. Our waiter was a nice guy (didn't get name, longer hair and mustache) and was attentive without being intrusive. They have a really good wine selection. I had several things off the menu, including the mussels and the brisket, and I thoroughly enjoyed everything. The garlic bread was prepared well without being too hard. The space is a little loud but not overly so; we were still able to have a pleasant conversation. Highly recommended. read more

We love Succotash and will absolutely return. The music, atmosphere, New Orleans ingredients and charm, and genuinely good Texas-style brisket are what keep bringing us back. 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. read more

Succotash Southern and Creole Kitchen - Sunday Brunch - Southern Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

I enjoyed my experience here. Service was great, quick, friendly and gave great recommendations and menu item descriptions. I was not steered wrong with my dish. Ambiance is very chill and homey. Nothing fancy. Chairs could be a bit more comfortable but that might just be my pregnant body not comfortable in firm upright chair lately. Food was amazing. I am picky about the fatty contents on meat I order. I know it's the best part to some but I can't get past the texture. I asked for brisket which is sometimes very fatty but server accommodated me saying I could ask for end cuts or more well done pieces and did not disappoint. Omg and that bread pudding!! My meal was delicious! read more

Really a 4.4. This was my second visit to Succotash. I had to make sure the first one wasn't a fluke. This food is so good. The first time, I only had the brisket and was wowed. This time we mixed it up. From the brisket to the fried catfish, they do not disappoint. I hope they keep the special of catfish with the crab, shrimp, and crawfish. And talk about the bread pudding and brownies. Our waitress was informative and answered any questions we had about the menu. The kitchen was extremely slow so she brought more drinks out for us since she could tell it was getting excessive. There's live music certain days which is a great touch. We'll be back, hopefully soon. read more

It is so hard to find a good Nola style restaurant if you're not in the Gulf region (unless you have a Pappadeaux nearby)! Well enter Succotash. We arrived at 1 pm on a Saturday and took seats at the bar, which holds about 7 or 8 people. And the plus was hopping! And they were so short staffed! One guy functioned as host, bartender, server, and busser. It took 10 minutes from his to get to us just to serve drinks. I'm certainly not upset with him, I just felt sorry for him. I could see directly into the kitchen from the bar and the staff of three was diligently at work. The menu advertised a whole fried chicken. Except it wasn't. We were served a half chicken cut into four unique pieces (breasts cut in half so they were about the same size). They also served a Thai-chili BBQ sauce, which had a little bit of heat, but nothing too strong. Excellent chicken, very moist meat, crisp skin. Not only that, but the chicken entree included two sides. The smashed and fried potatoes were really good, soft on the inside, a little crispness. And I liked the lemon-cider slaw. The citrus and tanginess complemented the chicken nicely. Also it came with pickled red onions and large slices of pickled cucumbers. Not bad for 19 bucks! For fish, the fresh catch was red drum (although the chalkboard was saying it was amberjack). We split the red drum po-boy, dressed with remoulade, lettuce, tomato, and pickles (huge slices of pickles by the way!) . We requested the fish be grilled and it came with a chimichurri type of sauce drizzled on top. Great flavor, great fish. But here's why I give Succotash so much credit. They use authentic New Orleans bread for their po' boys! Specifically, it's Leidenheimer French bread and it's fantastic. With the sandwich, we also got a bag of Zapp's chips, some of the best chips available. I always recommend going Voodoo! If you're coming, make a reservation, as there aren't a ton of tables available, although there is outside seating when the weather is reasonable. I look forward to returning to try a muffuleta, or maybe some brisket and some chargrilled oysters. So many options! read more

We had dinner last night and it was a fantastic experience. The ambiance was perfect, service was on point (thank you Maya!), and the food was absolutely to die for. I don't know which I liked more- the ribeye (which was on special) or the brisket. Both were excellent, with good portions and tasty sides. I especially enjoyed the broccolini. We'll be back sooner than later. read more

Succotash is one of those places where everyone at the table starts reaching across to sample everyone else's food because everything coming out of the kitchen looks and tastes that good. The Hot Honey Chicken special with pimento cheese was an easy 10/10. The fried green tomatoes were another standout, sliced to the perfect thickness with a great crunch. The beans and rice were packed with flavor, and the fried chicken was excellent. Even the Thai Chili BBQ deserves a mention; it's a must-try, just don't let the name fool you because the heat sneaks up on you. Add in the unique artwork and atmosphere, plus the great service, and you've got a restaurant that's worth a detour if you're driving through Durham. I'll definitely be back. read more

Very nice atmosphere, well thought out design inside and out. Very friendly and efficient service. I see where they won the best southern food in Durham from Indy in 2025. While the food was good, it didn't knock my socks off. And they're definitely more of a creole restaurant than a southern one. There are better cajun/Creole restaurants in the RTP area. I was going to order the creole gumbo, but found out when I came in that it was a seafood gumbo today not their regular one. Oh well. So I ordered jambalaya with a side of red beans and rice. Both were good but a little dry and I've had better nearby. The fresh catch of the Day was Amber Jack, and I love that fish, so maybe I should've ordered that in a Poboy. Might come back to try some of their other offerings. read more

Succotash is a bit in the cut if you're not familiar with the area. I almost passed the restaurant. The staff was welcoming and gave suggestions when I asked. I enjoyed the catch of the day corvina with a side salad and potato's. This dish was delicious. I got the fish blackened and this was a bold flavor with a spicy and deep smoky flavor. I enjoyed the peach bread pudding for dessert with a decaf coffee. The bread pudding presentation and taste didn't match but I wasn't disappointed. Everything was great. read more

We took out for 2: briskets, fried chicken, side RB &R. gave our orders in person, sitting at the bar. NOT just disappointing. they sent us home with "sweepings off the board." food was simply not acceptable. We brought the whole mess back; and when we showed the manager what his cook sent out, he gave us a full refund-- not a word, no explanation. No apology. Never Again! read more

Solid Creole place in Durham. Great ambiance! It is such a cozy spot with a real sense of community. There's a dining room without music for a quieter meal, and another with live music where people dance, socialize, and enjoy the night together. The crowd skews a bit older, which makes it feel extra wholesome and welcoming. Service was warm and attentive, and our food came out quickly and hot. We highly recommend the jambalaya -- generous portion and fantastic flavor! The seafood plate was also excellent; both the catfish and shrimp were cooked perfectly. All the appetizers were enjoyable. The only disappointment was the smoked brisket plate (surprisingly), which was quite dry and flavor was just okay (the brisket tasted better in the empanada). We will rather try the fried chicken next time! We stole glances at other tables and the chicken looked amazing! We got multiple dessert (big dessert menu, yay), and the bread pudding was the standout. The other desserts were fun, though they had more of a "fair food" vibe. read more

We were so impressed by the food here! Me being a huge fan of NOLA and visiting every couple years, I find myself not only missing the creole food but also looking to fill that hankering with local spots here in NC, few have ever come close to this until succotash! The decor and ambience is wonderful with a lovely outdoor patio to enjoy good weather. The staff was warm, friendly and knowledgeable, across the board this spot is a winner! read more

Succotash Southern and Creole Kitchen - Chicken & Sausage Gumbo - Southern Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Wow! We made reservations early on a Friday night in their back area. The restaurant is a remodeled home, and the rooms have been remodeled into a front area with a bar and some smaller tables, and a back area with mostly 4-tops that can be pushed together to accommodate 8 or so. It's cozy, but we never felt the other diners were "in our laps." The rooms are fitted with quality napkins (paper, not cloth) and metal utensils on the bare wood of the tables. Simple, but evokes an old world gathering place. The smells of woodsmoke and grilled meats had been tempting us since the parking lot. But the Weekend Special Seafood Gumbo grabbed us all. Due to rain and other delays, we finally totaled six, and five of us got the Seafood gumbo. It was amazing. (The non-spicy diner enjoyed their Southern Fried Chicken, as well!) This being a Creole place, things are spicy. Sad that there's no liquor license, but a crisp IPA was almost as good as a Sazerac or a Vieux Carre. Everyone enjoyed their food immensely, and the lady who came in to sing after we had eaten and were getting dessert just made the evening even better. Bluesy interpretations of everything from Van Morrison to George Benson and off to parts unknown. Dessert for several of us was the Bananas Foster, which arrived as an empanada, rather than a crêpe. The filling was pure banana goodness, but we were all taken aback by the presentation. In the end, it was amazing, especially with a cup of decaf Cafe Bruello (unless I miss my guess!). Tell the waiter to start brewing before placing the dessert orders, though, because the coffee takes a bit. We had to keep from eating ours until the coffee arrived. read more

My family roots come from New Iberia, Louisiana and I must say, this is the most authentic tasting food that is centered around creole culture that I've had in all of the places I've lived. The food was filled with flavorful spices, the atmosphere has colorful jazz/music themed paintings and art pieces. I was pleasantly surprised by the deciduous meal and so was my friend who is from New York and not as familiar with Creole cuisine. The staff from the bar and the kitchen were friendly, welcoming and very pleasant despite a very busy restaurant. It was also wonderful to see the way they worked together in the kitchen to create such delicious meals. I will absolutely be back to try a new plate! read more

We visited the Duke University Chapel this morning and chatted with the docent, Larry. He asked about our plans for lunch and suggested Succotash. Boy are we glad we took his advice. I have the smoked brisket plate. Twelve hours of smoke leaves delicious, melt in your mouth beef. Incredible. The plate comes with potatoes (brilliant), pickles and coleslaw. I added a cup of seafood gumbo which was as good as any I've had in New Orleans. My wife had a salad and a side of burnt ends. We finished with the cherry bourbon cake. A great meal. Excellent service as well. A beautiful Saturday afternoon on the patio with a fresh local IPA and a delicious meal. Awesome read more

My husband and I came here for a low key anniversary dinner on a Saturday and really enjoyed the food! There are different dining areas, and we chose the one in the back, which is pretty quiet and empty until the musicians start setting up. They start playing at around 7pm, but during setup they were super sweet and had lovely conversations with us in between our courses. We will choose a later time to see them perform next time! On to the food: we started off with the succotash appetizer with brisket. The brisket was such a nice addition to a hearty start of our meal! It was delicious. We also got the hot honey cauliflower which was also great where the hot honey was definitely there but not overpowering and was quite a large portion. I had to pace myself so I didn't get too full before my main course. For our mains my husband got the beef brisket plate and I got the fried oyster po boy. Everything was delicious, but I kept stealing some of my husband's brisket as it was not overcooked at all and could rival some of our local barbecue joints! For dessert we were hoping to get the bread pudding, but it was so popular it got sold out during lunch already! So we got the Crème brûlée which was topped with pistachios and raspberries. It was a lovely dessert and we left feeling SO filled. Looking forward to coming back and trying other dishes! Also, shout out to Anthony our server who was super attentive! He made sure to check on us multiple times and cleared away our plates whenever we were done with each course to ensure we had space for all of our food! read more

Food was delicious. The environment was welcoming. It took quite some time for the order to be prepared. We had about six in our party so that was somewhat frustrated. We had made reservation for noon and we were eating about 130 but other than that everything was delicious and I would recommend going back for sure. read more

Succotash has a the decor that matches the name. The staff is very friendly and attentive. I had the brisket and it was good but a little lean for me. We also had the pan seared fish along with the potatoes and they were very good. We also had a side dish of the red beans and rice and the gumbo. Both were very good. After thinking about it, I probably will stick with the gumbo, succotash options and the red beans next visit. Give it a try it a good service and well executed food. read more

First off, the food was fabulous. From the gumbo to the fried catfish, the brisket and the succotash-all delicious. So, kudos to the kitchen crew. But! The 'beet salad' had literally two halves of one slice of beets in it! That's it, so I pointed it out and it was fixed for us. They also didn't have tartar sauce for the catfish. The roumalaude was tasty but too spicy for the catfish eater. We had to create our own tartar sauce with pickles, onions, lemon and mayo. It worked. Despite this, all of the food was spot on. The service, not so much. We were ignored by EVERYONE in the restaurant for at least ten minutes. We had to wave someone down to request a waiter! A very nice guy showed up and said our waiter was 'fixing desserts' and was busy, so he took our drink order and answered questions. Then our waitress appeared. She was as somber and slow as one could be. I can't even tell you her name because she never told us. She avoided eye contact and only appeared if we waved her over. I think she was hiding in the back most of the time. She was morose and offered nothing. No kindness, no answers, no offer on water, another drink, no spring in her step, no nothing. The only smile and hint of pleasantries was when bringing us the check. Thank goodness the other employees checked on us, filled in for her, brought us our food, etc. I just don't understand why one would be a waiter and not even TRY to serve her customers adequately. I'm a good tipper-when I have good service. We all are. But it was painful for us to leave 15%. First, she didn't deserve it. She deserved less. Second of all, it's embarrassing to tip so little. That's why I'm leaving this review, so the establishment knows what terrible service we had and why we tipped less than norm. read more

I have been wanting to try Succotash for well over a year. Everytime I suggested it, someone would ultimately select a different restaurant. So last night my husband and I wanted to eat out and it was just us two, and I say HEY let's try Succotash. We drove right past the place without realizing it, so it might have been that we were engrossed in our convo and missed it, but to me, it's easy to miss. We were greeted warmly. I LOVE it when a restaurant acknowledges your presence but also seem geniunely happy that you came. My husband is Louisiana born and raised so the decor and ambiance definitely felt like home for him. The owner we were told is from Baton Rogue. We had a great server, so shout out to X, friendly, warm knowledgeable, attentive but not inserting himself into our evening. He nailed it! Now the food is one of those experiences where you take a bite and you look at each other and your eyes widen. Shut the Front Door! it was GUD. We had the succotash topped with grilled eggplant. I am pescatarian/vegetarian. I KNOW that is not going to sound good to many,so FIRST thing to know is you can top your succotash with meat, per the menu if you want to, and SECOND it was amazing with no topping at all. I consider myself a great cook, but that succotash was other worldly. PERIODT! My husband had the seafood gumbo, and I just tasted a wee bit of the roux because it had sausage in it so I wasn't going to bust up my stomach to eat a spoonful, but the flavor was dead on. We make gumbo because my husband and family are from Louisiana so this is a common event/holiday dish. It would be unfair to compare this with our homemade versions BUT for a restaurant this authentic and very good. Better than any I have tasted in the triangle so far. We also had fried oysters and they were tender, fried to perfection with a side of roumalade sauce. My husband had a catfish po boy, with voodoo chips and I had the catch of the day blackened. not one single thing to complain about. It was all smack our lips and call your Mama good. We were so full but then our fat butts closed out the night with a PEACH bread putting. We did take that home. We devoured it with whip cream later but who knew..peach bread pudding. Wow. I have No regrets and am not apologizing for the lbs I likely gained. It is RARE you go out and have a meal get that knocks it out the part like this. I highly recommend! read more

The food is delicious. To me, the menu is very limited on what they could serve there. It's only open for breakfast and lunch. The service was interesting experience. Our waiter forgot a few things that we had ordered when the food was delivered to the table. Of course, a few later the food that was ordered arrived at the table. I am not sure if that was a waitress or kitchen staff issue. read more

Succotash was on my list of places to try and they did not disappoint. We made a reservation for 7 on a Thursday and when we arrived we were greeted immediately. The place is cozy, warmly lit and unpretentious. It felt like the kind of place the regulars knew was a hidden gem. We ordered the Succotash as an appetizer and it was fresh, had a little kick and had just enough seasoning to let the vegetables shine on their own. It also came topped with your choice of eggplant or a protein and we chose the sausage which was so delicious. I will definitely get this next time I come back. I ordered the brisket sandwich with potatoes and it was delightful. The brisket was smoky and tender and the pickles and pickled onions tasted homemade and were perfect on the sandwich. The potatoes were seasoned perfectly and tender but had a slight crunch on the outside. The shrimp dinner came with potatoes and slaw and again the shrimp were cooked to perfection. Needless to say, I will be back to make my way through the menu. read more

I was contemplating going to another restaurant in the area, but the weather was bad. So that led me to Succotash, and what a blessing that was! The spot is so cozy and just a perfect low-key vibe! I sat at the bar. Customer service was amazing. The young lady at the bar was so polite, friendly, and on point.   The sangria was so delicious. The gumbo was flavorful, and the rice was perfect once you mixed it into the gumbo. From the fish to the potatoes to the shrimp to the slaw and the pickled onions, everything was delicious. I enjoyed my meal! It made me so happy to have a great meal. The brisket was full of flavor, almost like juicy roast meets smoked brisket. The prices are reasonable. I am sure they get busy, but the food and sangria are worth it. read more

The food is amazing, ambiance very nice and the front of house and serving staff were excellent. However, on this night the kitchen was struggling mightily. It took probably 20-30 minutes to get our entrees. Thank goodness the appetizers came out in a reasonable amount of time. Our server was very apologetic but she had no control over the kitchen situation. She offered to give us drinks on the house, which was thoughtful. But when the food did come out, it was incredible. I had the shrimp poboy and it rivaled anything I've had in Louisiana! Last thing...parking is very cramped and limited. They should have an overflow lot somewhere. read more

Arrived for a solo dinner. There was a bit of a wait because the place was packed but I'm glad I waited. I decided on the brisket. It came out quickly, very smoky moist and perfectly seasoned.

Interior was very cute. I'll come back! read more

The food, ambience and menu are great. The fried chicken is delicious, as is the jambalaya (pro tip, order some slaw as a side with the jambalaya). Red beans and rice are on point. No mixed drinks, but the beer and wine list is sufficient. Would be a 5 star review, but the service was slow, scattered and inattentive. It was nearly 30 minutes after we sat before our drink order was taken. Similar experience with ordering dinner, and our server did not serve us, a bus person did. If they can improve on service they'll be a staple in our rotation. read more

Okay, We're from New Orleans so when we see a "New Orleans style" restaurant, we always question the authenticity of the claim. In the case of Succotash we feel we have found the holy grail... Friendly, knowledgeable waitstaff? check Homey and a little funky atmosphere? check cool soundtrack? check BUT what about the food? We first came for brunch... I had the 'Brisket and Grits'. It was a very tender brisket with cheesy, garlicky grits, scallions with fried egg. The best part? They drizzle some of the brisket gravy over the grits... Oh man this was delish. We got talking about South Louisiana food with our server and he told us they bring in Leidenheimers french bread from New Orleans for their po-boy's. What's the big deal? ...I'll tell you! The bakery was founded in 1896 and it is the ONLY bread that marks a true po-boy to New Orleans natives. Why? Because of it's unique texture. Their loaves have a pillowy soft interior and a crunchy crust that isn't found in most french breads. It's the gold standard for po-boys. So today, I came back to Succotash for an Oyster po-boy. And the Verdict? Five stars mon ami! Leidenheimers bread with a very generous amount of perfectly fried oysters. ...I like mine simple with just lettuce, tomato and a little hot sauce. This was I can honestly say, the very best oyster po-boy I have found outside of NOLA. ... so yeah, I've found a new home... thanks and a tip o' the hat to Chef Juan DiGiulio and the great staff he has brought together! read more

I was excited to try a restaurant with creole influences, but i was very much underwhelmed with my selection. I ordered the muffuletta sandwich that came with a side of "smash potatoes". I only got 1/4 of the sandwich. The bread was soft and the olive spread didn't make the sandwich overly salty. The potatoes were very basic. For what I paid I expected a more filling portion. I had the seasonal lychee lemonade, which was very good; I highly recommend. There was only one waiter and he did a phenomenonal job keeping up. Casual atmosphere and decor was reminiscent of nola. read more

Good spot for Southern & Creole food in Durham! We got the: - Fried Green Tomatoes (Served with Cider-Lemon Baby Spinach, Succotash, Roasted Tomatoes, Bavarian Soft Feta and Drizzled with Smoked Tomato Remoulade): My favorite item! Loved the crispy, juicy tomatoes. - Red Beans and Rice (Slow-cooked with Beef Sausage, served with Garlic Bread): Good, could have been more flavorful. - Smoked Brisket Plate (w/ Smashed Fried Potatoes & Slaw): Brisket was SO tender & smokey. Loved this item! - Southern Fried Chicken Plate (w/ Smashed Fried Potatoes & Slaw): Tender, juicy, crispy chicken. Overall enjoyed this. - Jambalaya (Cajun Roasted Chicken and Rice with Andouille Sausage, Tomato, in a Spicy Broth with Garlic Bread): Pretty classic. - Seafood Plate (w/ Fried Shrimp, Smashed Fried Potatoes & Slaw): Good, but nothing special. I'd probably opt for a fish option like grilled Mahi Mahi or fried Catfish next time. Good service; very aesthetic ambiance. 7/10 would recommend! read more

4/5 for the fried green tomatoes (the side of succotash and creole shrimp were delish). Service was friendly if not a bit slow. The other items that we really enjoyed were the catfish and the fried chicken. The jambalaya was decent as well. The gumbo was nightmare fuel. Progresso tomato based stew. No creole would touch with a ten foot pole. Other than that dish, this place deserves high praise. read more
