Succotash PRIME

“Great southern fusion food with amazing drinks I visited here with my friend and it was worth it. We reserved ahead of time. We went there at 6 and we were seated on the top floor. The interior is beautifully designed. We ordered 1 appetizer and 2 main entre with 1 hummingbird cake. Drink was something with catus and i really love it. Food is so good. The ssam was really good. The dessert was so good. I wanna come here just to try different drinks. Highly recommend.”

“My partner and I tried the “Taste of the South” tasting menu and everything on it was amazing. The collards side was probably my favorite part of the meal. So much flavor!!! The cornbread was also one of the highlights. My least favorite part (but still on the scale of generally good) was probably the dessert but part of me can’t separate if it was because I was so full by the end. I got the pandan drink. Was not a huge fan of the flavor. The space itself was so beautiful and well decorated. Highly recommend and would definitely come back again if we’re ever in the area.”

“A Southern-style restaurant with a Korean twist. Great start with Hey Peaches cocktail. Best cornbread I've ever tasted! My friend mentioned grits is her best ever. Chiken&Waffles were good, but other dishes were ordinary. So guess it brings up sth best for anyone on the basis of ordinariness.”

“Succotash had strong, delicious flavors! They have a happy hour menu at the bar Mon-Fri 11-4, where you can get a few dollars off of a lot of their appetizers. We tried nearly everything on the happy hour menu. Delicious, would get again - Jamie's cornbread: Decadent, buttery, and sweet with a wonderful honey brown butter on the side. - Shrimp and grits: Delicious savory crabmeat gravy with plump shrimp. Pretty light for shrimp and grits, and closer to Asian flavors. - Smoked chicken wings: Hot, crisp, and a burst of flavor and juicy meat. - Hot fried oysters: Like Nashville fried oysters. Quite spicy and tasty. Wouldn't get again - Chicken and waffles: The chicken was quite under-seasoned and we could only taste the syrup. The waffle was pretty good and we liked the pickled okra. But the chicken was lacking flavor. The restaurant is super spacious with tall ceilings and lots of natural light. Service is great. I'm glad we got to try it! I'd come back during happy hour.”

“We came to this restaurant because we were fans of Chef Edward Lee after watching him on a cooking competition show. We were genuinely excited to visit during our trip to Washington, DC. We ordered the Dirty Chicken, deviled eggs, and cocktails. The deviled eggs were surprisingly good, especially for under $2 each. Unfortunately, the Dirty Chicken was very average and didn’t stand out in either flavor or execution. We also asked for a cocktail that wasn’t sweet. It was recommended as one of the restaurant’s most popular drinks, but it arrived tasting like frozen syrup—exactly what we were trying to avoid. Perhaps our expectations were simply too high because of Chef Lee’s reputation. However, after four days of eating out three times a day across DC, Succotash ended up being the least memorable and least satisfying meal of the trip. The one positive is that the prices are reasonable, making it an affordable option. Unfortunately, the food didn’t live up to the reputation that brought us there in the first place.”
