The restaurant had a very nice, quaint ambiance. Kwame was a great sever and very friendly. He provided a brief overview of the best sellers there. The price is a little high and the food was decent. The succotash soup was tasty and something I hadn't tasted before so I will recommend that.
Succotash is one of my main go to restaurants to bring my friends to when I know I want to give them a legit DC food experience. Came here with one of my friends during a weekend and had a great experience. We walked in and were promptly sat. I had made reservations but thankfully, the place wasn't too crowded so we had no issue getting a table right away. Staff were super friendly and gave us numerous recommendations for food. Succotash has an old Hollywood vibe. The decor is great and feels classy. For food, I ordered the cat fish while my friend ordered the steak with a crab cake. We topped off dessert with the banana pudding which we really enjoyed. I will definitely be back!
I recently dined at Succotash Prime for my first time, as I'd already been to their National Harbor location, and I wanted to see the difference, location wise. My experience was so-so and I'm not sure if I'll be back to give them another try. I came in, specifically, to try their Pimento Cheese Burger and saw on their website that it was also on the Happy Hour Menu. I didn't see anything in the Happy Hour Menu area on the website that said it was for bar patrons only. So, I was up for it, since I thought I would be able to dine in the main dining room. I'm not really a drinker and I've personally had multiple poor service experiences in the past while ordering food with no drinks from a bar. However, when I arrived there and requested a table for one, the host asked if I was coming in for Happy Hour, and informed me that I would have to dine at the bar. I was hesitant, but went ahead with it since I was already there, and the bar wasn't too packed. I did see, after the fact, that Happy Hour "at the bar" was placed under the Hours of Operation area instead of the Menu area on their website. The main dining room had a nice ambiance to it. I loved the painted nature scenes on the walls. It almost made it feel like you were outdoors a bit, especially with all the natural light that seemed to fill the space. The bartender seemed friendly and he was pretty quick with greeting and taking my order. The Pimento Cheese Burger was pretty good. Good amount of the Pimento Cheese on top with the Bacon Jam. Pickles were fresh. Gochujang Ketchup added a slight kick. Fries were fresh, not frozen. I'd overall give the Burger and Fries an 8.5 out of 10. Nothing crazy but it was definitely delicious. However, what I did not like was the bartender coming over to the area right in front of me, while I was attempting to enjoy my meal, and slamming down his glasses into the metal grate in front of me. It was a fairly large bar and he only seemed to do it right in front of me, only when my food came out. I was nervous that one of the glasses would shatter, that's how bad it was. It was so loud and this is one of the many reasons why I don't like dining at a bar. I understand that it is the proprietor's or head manager's choice on whether the whole restaurant can partake in "Happy Hour" or only the bar area. They have ever right to make that decision. I just personally don't enjoy restaurants who do choose that option for their patrons. I feel that everyone should be able to have an "Happy Hour" after their long day of work or whatever it may be, with a nice discount on the food or drink. And I fully recognize that this is more of a personal preference than anything else. Like I said above, not sure if I'll be back, but to each their own.
Hands-down, my favorite meal in DC, and it was very reasonably priced for lunch. Got a salad which was very delicious. Also got the lunch meal which included hush puppies, chicken, and waffles, and banana pudding dessert. The hush puppies had amazing flavor, and were in a spicy sauce with pimento cheese. I saved the rest of that sauce for the main course, which was half a Belgian waffle with two large pieces of fried chicken. The chicken was juicy yet crispy on the outside. The banana pudding was a little too sweet for me, but still delicious. Service was wonderful. Our waitress came by at just the right times, and our food came out pretty quick. The restaurant itself was mostly packed, but we were able to snag last-minute lunch reservations on a Saturday. Since the restaurant has two floors of seating, it was a bit noisy, but not so much that I couldn't hear anyone talking at my table.
Food is immaculate, 10/10. The waiting staff was amazing, we had a few things come out incorrectly, but they were attentive and quick to fix, big shoutout to Meron, Mary and Clark! This is a great place for Sunday brunch with large or small groups alike. The restaurant itself is beautiful from the architecture to the decor. Everything we ate was amazing, I definitely recommend!
We've wanted to try this place since we saw Edward Lee on culinary class wars...when we arrived, the restaurant was full. We were seated in the main level towards the back. If you have read some of my past reviews, I have an issue with crowded restaurants and loud patrons which end up dampening the experience for me. I am happy to report that although the restaurant was bustling, I had no issues carrying conversations with everyone at our table of six. We shared many different appetizers and each had a main dish then shared desserts. This was an interesting mixture of southern style cuisine and Korean touches here and there. Flavors were all good. Think my favorite dish was the pork belly ssam. I love that there was such a Korean dish in a primarily southern cuisine restaurant.
First and foremost you are greeted either such warmth it blew me away. The hospitality felt truly genuine. The energy that greeted me was so awesome I left and came back in to experience it all over again. The service was anticipatory and responsive. Truly Kwame was able to be Johnny on the spot. Then there was the food. It is restaurant week so we probably got more than we would have. But boy am i happy we did. We shared our dishes and it was great! Everything would receive a 5! I wondered why i hadn't been in a while! Will be back soon
Wow what an amazing dinner tonight at Succotash! We were seated right away and were blown away by the bustling ambiance and super high grand ceiling with southern charm. They have an extensive menu but we went for the "small" tastings menu for $60/person with 2 person min. The portion sizes were definitely NOT small and allowed us to have much more than your usual restaurant week prix fixe menu because it came with 4 apps, 3 entrees, choice of 2 sides and 2 desserts. We had to tap out and pack our desserts, 1 side and 1 entree home! Of all the things we ate, the shrimp and grits blew me away the most! The tomato based sauce was jam packed with crab meat and boy was it good...I will definitely get the shrimp and grits again! And our server was just so pleasant and attentive...we were well taken care of! Thank you Succotash for an amazing evening!
Have been to Succotash on a prior DC trip. But did not get a chance to enter the speakeasy "Mr Lees" until this trip. Great after work option with Happy Hour until 7pm. Really liked their selection of drinks...was there milk in the milk punch? Lol The Cauliflower and Honey cornbread options were delicious. Have had success here two times - would return.
Stepping into this beautiful restaurant is a bit breathtaking. The hostesses were very attentive and seemed excited. We were there. Our reservation was for 730 on a Saturday night and the restaurant was happen but not crowded. We were seated in a beautiful banquet table upstairs and could admire all of the original molding and the skylight. Keep in mind that ordering Still water will incur a charge of $7.50. Apparently I don't eat at nice enough places to realize this lol. You absolutely must order the bacon jam, deviled eggs. I could have just eaten this for my entire meal and been happy. Our server, Maria was very attentive, friendly and made some excellent recommendations. I ordered the dirty chicken my husband got a steak and our friend ordered the shrimp and grits. The dirty chicken was two legs and two thighs. The fry was wonderful, but the gochujang sauce was way too heavy for my taste. The flavor was very good and the blue cheese added some great contrast to the spice, but the sauce was incredibly overpowering, and I would not order this again. Our friend reported that his shrimp and grits was tasty but very spicy. We also ordered a mac & cheese for the table because at $10.50 for a side we thought we would just share it. It was an excellent mac & cheese, but the old bay flavoring was not noticeable. Since I don't love Love old Bay. This suited me just fine! After dinner, they brought us a complementary dessert: taster of bourbon, pecan pies, and hummingbird cake. Everyone enjoyed having a taste.
I celebrated my 21st birthday here! The service was amazing and the restaurant is just so beautiful. The food was very tasty and they kindly gave me a small dessert with a candle for the celebration. This is a place that is good for a nice lunch or dinner; really good for pics too!
We walked in for some drinks and their cornbread which was basically our post-dinner dessert. The cornbread is moist and buttery although very crumbly. We sat at the bar and the bartender was having a rough time because he was spilling all over the countertop and pouring drinks messily so it felt rather chaotic but whatever lol
An overall 3.75 star review for Succotash Prime. Located in DC, you already know parking is a challenge and there is no street parking. Reservations are recommended, but depending on the day and time of your visit and number of persons in your party, you may get lucky and be accommodated. We made reservations to avoid any crappy seating or prolonged waiting. Although, we decided around lunchtime to go after work, it wasn't difficult to secure a reservation. Not a lot of diners when we arrived on a Friday afternoon at 3:30pm. Seated quickly, Rio was our server. I don't know what they did to him prior to our arrival but he was giving "I don't want to be here" vibes in his speech and body language. He was efficient and checked on us appropriately but had to hand us off to another server who was coming on shift. I wish we had started with her as she had an upbeat outlook and was energetic. There are seasonal cocktails and I went with the Cherry Pick in honor of the blooming of the cherry blossoms in Washington, DC. It was flavorful and I enjoyed it. The menu provided had small variations in what they serve in comparison to their sister location Succotash in National Harbor. An express option at $31 (skirt steak or salmon) with salad, French fries and dessert is a welcome source of variety. I had the catfish sandwich that comes with french fries. I think I got the catfish that was on Ozempic because that was the thinnest fillet of catfish I've seen. Normally catfish is flakier and meatier. The sandwich was good and reheated well since I was only able to eat half during the visit. The interior was very spacious and has an upper level. There is a bar and sometimes they run out of featured cocktails but it gives the opportunity to go with your backup choice. If in the area, I would frequent here again.

10.2.26 My husband and I had a 5:30 p.m. reservation with our married friends before heading to the Weezer concert. The ambiance and decor are opulent and elegant. We were seated upstairs, which was nice. We shared two appetizers: the Nashville deviled eggs and fried oysters. All four of us thought both appetizers were delicious! For dinner, I ordered the chicken and waffles, while my husband and our friends all ordered the pimento cheese burger. I loved my chicken and waffles! This is the best honey chicken I've ever had anywhere, although I would have preferred less honey on my waffle. The portion is huge, as they serve half a chicken with dark meat. I only managed to eat two thighs, half a drumstick, and half a waffle. Unfortunately, my husband and our friends weren't impressed with their burgers. One of our friends found it off-putting that the chef recommended the burgers be served medium-rare. She said that was practically unheard of and that unless she knew where the beef came from and that it was organic and grass-fed, there was no way she would eat a practically rare burger. My husband said he would have enjoyed a fast-food burger more. For drinks, they ordered a basil mule, a milk punch, and beer. One friend thought the basil mule was good but said it didn't have much alcohol. Our other friend enjoyed his milk punch. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, the ambiance, and the service. While the appetizers and my chicken and waffles were definite highlights, the burgers were a letdown for the rest of our group. read more
Ambience and esthetically pleasing to the eye. Very welcoming. Great service and unique menus. The corn and crab hush puppies and the wings were phenomenal. I just wanted a plain breakfast so I order ala carte. The biscuit was DRY! The eggs were okay but the bacon was fabulous. The mint julep was a whole experience all by itself!!! If the biscuit wasn't so terrible I'd give it a give. read more

Succotash Prime has been serving up the classic Southern Brunch with a glamorous yet hearty twist in every bite. From their tried and tested deviled eggs to their classic but with a twist Gochujang Tator Tots to their hearty Shrimp'N'Grits; the menu always has something that is sure to please each and every person in your company. My family and I enjoyed all of the dishes and we found that our selection of items was quite perfect for a group of three looking for a balance of savory and sweet. What we tried: The French Toast is crusted with cornflakes, making every bite a treat for the senses. I daresay that french toast should never be served in any other way. The crunch from the cornflakes elevates an otherwise humble dish and highlights the ingenuity of Southern cuisine: simple ingredients that when brought together deliver high impact results. The Shrimp'N'Grits was a delight. We have a dish similar to this which I insist the team at Succotash must try. It's called Kichuri; similar but different. This is perfect for those who prefer a savory breakfast packed with umami and flavor in every bite. Mr. Roger would definitely approve of this one. Potatoes are a universal favorite and thus Tator Tots were a must order for us. We didn't have any children with us but fried potatoes always satiates even the most picky of eaters. We did appreciate the integration of a gochugang aoili and pickled jalapeños. This elevated the dish enough to where it could be enjoyed by both adults and children. The Deviled Eggs are a no-brainer unless you are someone who hates perfection. They are the creamy dreamy accouterment to elevating one's daily protein intake and perfect wholesome addition to any breakfast or brunch. Not mentioned: I have had the Chicken & Waffles at Succotash and I still dream about it to this day. We did not have it in this visit because we decided to opt for more shareable items but the Chicken & Waffles is highly recommended. It's a complete meal: both savory and sweet. Probably the best post hangover meal. read more

Visited on a Sunday for brunch with a friend. We opted for the family style brunch option for $31/person. This was a good option as it was our first time and wanted to try multiple things. I wasn't a huge fan of the deviled egg. The shrimp and grits as well as the kimchi greens were my favorite of the dishes that we tried. We enjoyed great service, the waitress was very attentive and the restaurant gives a cute Sunday brunch vibe. I would recommend for a cute brunch date with friends or date. read more
Another kick ass brunch at succotash! They were offering a $25 three course option that was a great deal. I had three pimento hush puppies, trout over dirty rice, and banana pudding and all was delicious. My friend loved the cornbread, the crab hash, the mint julep ice cream, and her drink, Coffee and Cigarettes. Great and friendly service. Beautiful space. read more
Just amazing from the interior to the music to the food. What a treat. Loved everything about it. Our meal & the options made it challenging to choose one dish. Also gives reasons to return. Being from Kentucky we highly recommend the Hot Brown. You won't be disappointed. We finish our meal with the pecan sticky rolls. So be certain to save room for that treat. We will return out and we highly recommend it. Our server was good, but I can't say great. He definitely knew the menu and made multiple recommendations. read more

Queues Just the two of us, by Grover Washington. Just the year before we were a family of five celebrating but this past year it was just the two of us. Christmas 2025 was quiet but full. He chose Succotash Prime as our Christmas dinner location. He would always keep our dinner location a secret and have me anticipating where we were going. I am like a kid and that brought more excitement to the evening. I was pleasantly surprised, what a gorgeous establishment. Wasn't a fan of the stairs but beautiful nonetheless. Bright lights, upscale decor, super impressive! Seating was tight and we could hear our guests to the right of us. A bit intrusive and if I could change one thing about the space it would be that.... the closeness of the tables. Getting out, my big ole butt was all in their table and they made mention of it too. Smh! Let's get into it! Fried Oyster's - Good but they were expensive for the portion. Wouldn't get them again, price point doesn't match. Deviled eggs- YES! YES! YES! Filet Mignon Blackened Please! - SOOOOOOO GOOD! Roasted Half Duck - Decent but he didn't really oooh and ahhhhh! Mac and Cheese - More please! Greens - Okay! But not my fave! Overall, we had a great Christmas dinner. If I had to choose, I'd choose the other location over this one. We came and conquered! Life shifts quickly. Live fully, love deeply, and let the memories travel with you. read more
I had brunch with my husband and some friends at Succotash Prime this past Sunday, when we were in DC for a theater production in the area, and we had a good meal. I'm a big fan of Top Chef, and Succotash is a restaurant by Chef Edward Lee, who competed in Season 9 of the show. Korean American, Chef Lee fell in love with Southern cuisine and the city of Louisville, and Succotash (one of several of his restaurants) is a really beautiful example of the blending of his Korean heritage and the American South, its ingredients and cuisine. We shared a few dishes to start: deviled eggs (they offered two varieties - green tomato kimchi and bacon jam), crispy Korean cauliflower, and creamy corn succotash (a side). I loved the green tomato kimchi deviled egg, but I found the bacon jam deviled egg way too strong - too much bacon (some of you may say this isn't possible, but it was a lot of bacon and I thought it took over everything else). The cauliflower isn't something I would typically order, but the rest of the table loved it. I thought the creamy corn succotash was a great spin/hybrid of a couple Southern classics. I really appreciated the variety of mains they offer on their brunch menu. The others at my table ordered the Hangover Special (fried eggs, pulled pork, warm potato salad, red-eye gravy, and a buttermilk biscuit), Shrimp and Grits (Royal Red shrimp, andouille sausage, holy trinity, and jalapeno oil), and the pimiento cheese burger (potato bun, bacon jam, house pickles, and french fries). I chose and loved their open-faced blackened trout sandwich, and everyone else enjoyed their choices as well. Regarding drinks, I enjoyed a couple of glasses of wine wine, my friend had iced tea, and our husbands had a couple of cocktails. Their gochujang bloody mary (our table ordered two) tasted a little watered down and bland, but the rest of the drinks we had we enjoyed. The restaurant is beautiful. It's located in a converted former-bank, and it's a perfect space for a Southern-ish spot for a fancy brunch or dinner. The decor works, too: leather, wallpaper, a long bar... The service was very good as well. Overall, it was a very good brunch, one I'd be happy to repeat. read more
I went to Succotash and tried the "Taste the South." The inside of the restaurant is beautiful and the overall vibe is great. Service was fine, nothing standout but no real issues there. The biggest problem was the food. It took a long time to come out, and when it finally did, it was honestly pretty underwhelming. For something that's supposed to highlight Southern cooking, it really lacked flavor across the board. Nothing was bad, but nothing was memorable either. If you've never had Southern food before, you might enjoy it just for the experience and setting. But if you have any baseline for what good Southern food should taste like, this doesn't really hit. Overall, it just felt very average and not something I'd go back for. read more

Succotash might officially be the start of a love story... and honestly, what a place to begin. I came here for a first date, and everything--from the ambiance to the food--set the tone perfectly. It's warm, inviting, and just the right mix of lively and intimate. We started with the fried green tomato salad and the cauliflower. The salad was fresh, flavorful, and a standout for me. The cauliflower had a bit too much sauce for my taste, but the texture was excellent--crispy and well-executed. For mains, I had the catfish and my date ordered the smoked wings--both were delicious and full of flavor. But beyond the food, the experience really made the night. Great conversation, a kind and thoughtful date, and a setting that made it all feel a little special. We've already gone on a second date... so who knows--this might just be the place we look back on and say, "this is where it all started." Wish us luck read more

Succotash Prime was the surprise restaurant of choice for Christmas dinner after seeing how nice it looked online. Once we arrived, the pictures didn't do this place justice. One word, gorgeous! This two level beauty had upscale written all over it. I've eaten at the National Harbor location more than I can count, but this is Succotash "Prime", so my expectations were just a bit higher. Bring on the menu! Where are the raw oysters? Where is the amazing bone-in beef shortrib that my taste buds were craving? I'll tell you, no where to be found. When I asked our super friendly server about the shortrib, it was obvious that it wasn't a menu misprint, it's never offered..LOL! After my initial disappointment, I took a gander at the small special menu and low and behold, there was another one of my favorite meals, roasted duck. We went with the fried oysters and deviled eggs as our appetizers, and for entrees, she chose the filet mignon and I chose the aforementioned roasted half duck. I was feeling a bit under the weather so I ordered the Maker's Mark apple cider. It was delicious and exactly what I needed! So "the great" was her filet and the deviled eggs. She took my suggestion and had her steak blackened and man was that thing tasty. "The good" was my duck. The portion size was two thumbs up but taste wise, I've had better. The fried oysters were underwhelming to say the least. Four fried oysters for $17.50, stop it! Our server was OUTSTANDING, and her energy, especially for it being Christmas evening, was unparalleled. Would I come back?? Absolutely, I loved the atmosphere, however, I'd wait unil "Prime" comes to their senses and add the shortrib. Also, I'm anxious to try their on-site Speakeasy "Mr. Lee's", since Speakeasies are my thang!! Happy New Year!! read more
I am just going to jump into it, and I will say the service at the national harbor location is so much better. You ever get that vibe from people and see their facial reactions so much that it is obvious that they are just over it. Well, that was the reaction we saw between the hostess and our waiter on the afternoon of March 26th at 1545. The hostess took us to our table, and she pointed to our table while speaking to our future waiter and you can just see his eyes roll and his head go back. Almost like, "Come on another table?" There was a back and forth for a minute and he eventually came over with great enthusiasm to make us feel welcome. That was all sarcasm. My spouse and I picked up on it, and we knew what we were in for as we watched the interaction between him and the hostess. He did not want to be there or at least he did not want to serve us, and it was more than clear. We were already there and had decided to try Succotash Prime after great service and food at the National Harbor location. We still ordered but the vibe was completely off and remained the same. It was at a point where do not bother to come over if it is going to be like this. The food was not bad, and the mint julep ice cream was the highlight of the meal. We started off with hot oysters that were ok. I went with the "Express" which was the skirt steak or the catch of the day, salad, fries, and the already mentioned mint julep ice cream. The skirt steak was ehh. Not very flavorful but not bad. Spouse and I were betting that the mint julep ice cream would not come out and we should have put it in on the prediction markets because it was completely forgotten. I reminded him as I am sure he did not want to hear anything from us and he was ready to go. Well at this point so were we. Overall, I cannot recommend this place and will not. This could have been a one off and many have said the great experience here and even said it is a favorite place to go. This was not my experience, and the biggest disappointment was that thinking this would be a great place that my spouse would enjoy and it was just dissatisfaction all the way around. Not how I imagined a break after work going where it should have been a pick me up after a long down was just a let down. Mentioning this to anyone just seemed pointless. The hostess had her bag, changed shoes and left. I got tired of waiting around. Thank goodness for InKind to pay the bill without any more interaction. It was just one of the situations where attitude and give a care starts from the top down and seeing the interaction at the start showed me there are some deeper problems with the front staff. One and done. Far from a "Prime" experience. read more
Have been wanting to come here for the longest time especially during restaurant weeks but somehow never worked out. This time was determined to make it work and finally got an opportunity to come for lunch during this winter RW. It's not a big restaurant, located inside a historic landmark bank building. The dining room is absolutely beautiful with modernized original architectural detailing. Ambience is intimate with the rounded booths on one side and banquet seating down the center partitioning the bar from the dining section (although there were a row tables opposite the bar as well. There seems to be also an upstairs section but wasn't open. The RW menu has selection of two each of the three courses, so with the two of us we tried everything they had to offer (Note the RW menu online is a bit different from the one in the restaurant). Food was delicious and hearty - this is southern cuisine after all - excellent presentation and generous portions. The squash soup and fried fish were my favorites. For dessert - the black cherry tart was better than the bread pudding although can't say I'm bowled over by either (must admit I'm quite picky when it comes to desserts). Overall am glad we finally tried it as this is definitely a place worth coming back to, Service is good and they have contactless payment - where you scan a code with you phone to access the check and pay online. Restaurant had wifi although unsecured as such networks usually are. read more

The customer service is out of this world! We made a reservation and found street parking. There are garages nearby as well. Ceasar was our server and he was top notch! He explained the menu, made recommendations and was overall just on point! The Belle's Punch was so good. I'm glad Ceasar suggested the pitcher, hehe! It serves 5, but me and my friend had no problem taking it on ourselves! Ha! If you have the appropriate group (2+), just gon head and get the TASTE OF THE SOUTH! It has everything you need. The cornbread was so buttery and it melted in my mouth. I still dream about it sometimes (*tear). The sticky pecan buns were soft and so flavorful! The collards with kimchi were so tasty! Don't hesitate to try them! It was my favorite side! The macaroni was great! The fried chicken was crispy and fried to perfection! I will say we liked it better with hot sauce. They do have hot sauce, which is great! The menu doesn't state that the chicken & waffles includes a shaved cheese garnish over top of it. I had to ask for some chicken without it. The manager Chris came by and he was accommodating for that and I appreciated that! The deviled eggs stole the show! I loved both the green tomato and bacon jam versions! I can't front though, I saw that French toast at the table beside me and it looked delectable! It looked so thick and crunchy! I'll be trying that next! read more

We were a group of 5 and came here on a weekday evening. I had a reservation but it looked like there's some open seating still available. They have paid street parking right outside which was convenient and also a 5 min walk from the metro station. The restaurant is very thoughtfully and tastefully decorated. Since we came in the evening, it was a more romantic, dim ambiance versus some of the pictures that I saw of the dining room during the daytime that gives a different feel. We sat in a semi private room that really gave us the privacy to chat. Our server, Jason, was amazing-- great attention to detail. He changed our plates, silverware, refilled waters, and cleaned the table of any food or sauce drippings and even offered to clear the table before taking a picture for us. All the small gestures that really enhanced our dining experience. The kitchen gave us a small complimentary appetizer of homemade chips with an onion dip, before our appetizers which was a nice little surprise. The chip is good and if you're an onion flavor fan then you would like this. There was an extensive bourbon list on the drinks menu (heard this is due to Edward Lee's love for bourbon) so we had to give it a shot. You can choose to have your bourbon neat or on a big ice for $1. We started with the pork belly ssam and smoked chicken wings then got the salmon with bok choy (catch of the day), rib eye, dirty fried chicken, and rounded the meal out with mint ice cream and they brought us a birthday dessert with carrot cake and dark chocolate pecan. Smoked chicken wings: 8.5/10 the chicken wing itself was pretty good but the Alabama sauce and cole slaw really enhanced the flavor of the wings Pork belly ssam: 10/10 the perfect mix of pork belly (with not too much fat), lettuce, fried onion, & a touch of spice with a hot pepper. Also came with a nice Dirty fried chicken: 9/10 2 pieces of thighs and 2 pieces of drums in a gochujang at the perfect level of spice for me where you can taste it but not overly spicy, topped with blue cheese and radish Ribeye: 9/10 very flavorful, not chewy and the greens paired so well as a palette cleanser between each bite of steak. The steak was already flavorful and didn't need the sauce but the sauce (we got bourbon) was also great if you wanted an extra explosion of flavor. Salmon with bok choy: 8/10 we all had mixed opinions of the salmon ranging from overcooked to just right so maybe it would be better if they offered an option for the guest to pick how they want their salmon cooked or maybe this is more of a southern way of preparing salmon we're not as familiar with but nonetheless the bokchoy was great and the sauce was even better, just wish there was more! You can pay with a QR card so very easy to split your item if you're with a group of people (note there's a small fee for using the online payment site that scales with your bill amount). Overall I'm pleasantly surprised and this restaurant surpassed my expectations with the mix of fine dining with southern hospitality so we will definitely come back and try their brunch items next time. read more
SO EXCITED to finally try Succotash. Went with my siblings to try a bunch of items. Cornbread 15/10 Sweet Buns 15/10 French Toast 4/10 Crab Hash 9/10 Avocado Toast 9/10 Burger 9/10 Collard Greens, Kimchi and Turkey 1000/10 The corn bread was devin! I would come back for a latte with corn bread and sweet buns. It was truly magical. The only downside was the French toast. It looked amazing but was deep fried and drenched in oil in every bit which made me feel awful immediately. Recommend the crab hash and I saw a lot of chicken and waffles coming out that LOOKED AMAZING! The wait staff were so friendly and helpful. There was another a waiter that overheard our convo and just joined in and it was a lot of fun. The ambiance is so light and airy! I loved it!! read more
Never a bad time here. Tried the "Taste of the South" and everything was really good, except the shrimp and grits. Very disappointed in that dish. The kimchi greens were really good and surprisingly the deviled eggs were delicious! I can't go to a "southern" style restaurant without having a fried green tomato, and their fried green tomato salad was the perfect balance. The steak didn't look like much, but it was cooked to perfection (medium). Our server was amazing and very knowledgeable. He helped with the no brainer to do the Taste of the South to try everything. He also had a helpful tip to save the chicken and waffles for breakfast the next day because we were stuffed! It really reheated well and was delicious the next day. read more
Excited to try Edward Lee's southern cuisine inspired korean fusion place.. prior to visiting I heard the food is meh so didnt have high hope: My "FAST" REVIEW: Food: 6/10 Chicken and waffles: imo, the best chicken and waffles are the done with the best balance between chicken AND waffles. This had way more chicken than waffles but the crispiness of the chicken and maple syrup made it so much better. Not dry. But bones made it hard to eat. Succotash: SOOOOOOO SALTY, I have a feeling they accidentally dumped salt on this. I almost could not have more than one bite. Pecan sticky buns: my favorite, but just a huge lump of dough with sugar. Not many pecans. Tater tots: Korean inspired with gochujang, but could barely taste the sauce. Also came out soggy/cold. Atmosphere: 9/10 great ambience and decor. Was seated overlooking all the tables. Was pretty close to the table next to us so you can hear all the conversations Service: 8/10 great service. The waiter came by multiple times asking what we needed. Probably a little too many times. Tips: made a reservation in advance for Saturday brunch, but it wasn't too packed. I also saw ppl next to us return their food after only having eaten 1/2 or less.. definitely disappointing food wise, but he's made a great presence of all his restaurants around DC so excited to try out his other places. read more

First time visiting this location, and it absolutely lived up to the Korean and Southern-inspired menu I'd heard so much about. We went with the Taste of the South served family-style, which turned out to be the perfect way to explore the spread. Appetizers, entrées, desserts, the whole parade. Standouts for me were the collards, shrimp and grits, steak, fried green tomatoes, and the fried chicken from the chicken and waffles. Everything was seasoned with intention, and it showed. The ambiance wrapped the evening together with its soft lighting and gentle music, creating a relaxed, cozy pace to the meal. Customer service was excellent from start to finish, and I genuinely had a great time here. read more
I came here for dinner with a large group of 15. We had their family style set menu. The inside is slightly upscale and can get quite noisy. The service was great and attentive. The set menu was amazing. Even a colleague from the south said the food was great. As a vegetarian I appreciated that many items were vegetarian friendly. The only thing we didn't really enjoy was the truffle on the dessert menu. We tried some of the mocktails and they were very delicious as well. Highly recommend coming here!! read more
Succotash Prime is a lovely restaurant in downtown Washington, DC that offers Southern food with a Korean twist. The warm, historic interiors make you feel like you're stepping back in time, and the service is impeccable. Our waiter was so nice and accommodating. We started out with the deviled eggs as an appetizer. You could choose between two varieties: green tomato or bacon jam. While both were delicious, my favorite was the bacon jam. The sweet, salty and smoky combination was perfect! I chose the Delta Rice Bowl for my entree and was pleasantly surprised by how filling and flavorful it was. My husband selected the shrimp & grits and loved every bite. The hot honey-glazed cornbread was a delight, the collard greens were scrumptious and Nana's Banana Pudding was the perfect bow atop a thoroughly enjoyable meal. I would definitely recommend making a reservation prior to visiting as this is quite a popular place to dine. There is not one bad thing I can say about my experience at Succotash Prime. I enjoyed everything and look forward to visiting again! read more

Succotash has probably one of the best happy hours I've been to in a long time. My friend and I stopped here and sat at the bar before heading to an event. It's a lower lit restaurant - creating a very elegant vibe - and it serves southern cuisine, so many of your southern favs are on the menu! It was a busy Friday evening, but the bartender was very attentive and answered any questions we had. The manager even came around to ask us how we're liking our food. They were all very friendly and accommodating! My friend and I both got the Belle's punch for our cocktails. We loved it, so no complaints. We then shared the cornbread, chicken n waffles, and hot fried oysters. Everything tasted great! My favorite was definitely the cornbread. The honeycomb was edible, which came to our surprise! The oysters were a little deep fried for my preference, but I liked the spiciness and the dill-ranch dressing complemented it well. read more
