A progressive perspective of classic Southern favorites.

While many know “Succotash” when they see it, the dish has been interpreted, modified and passed from generation to generation for centuries. While Succotash between families will share similarities, each family’s recipe is deeply personal and reminiscent of those special suppers that brings kin together. Our “Succotash” is special to us and we invite you to experience the South from our point of view.

    This was the perfect choice for our Valentine's Day engagement. We were split between the Family Style southern menu and the Valentine's Day menu. Both looked good but the southern style gave the best taste of what Succotash is all about. Our server Eric made it an amazing experience! He brought us a special dessert and really helped make it a special occasion. We will always remember our special day and the family style meal at Succotash

    Visited for Valentine’s Day. Took a while to be greeted by the waitress after being seated, but it’s a cute restaurant overlooking the National Ferris wheel. The food could have tasted better. I got the salmon linguine. Needed more flavor.

    If you like Mexican food dishes, this is the place to go. The Comi-con event was in town the evening we went, the restaurant was pretty full of customers, and the servers were very busy. However, our service was excellent. Our server was patient with us, explaining the menu (we had the Valentine's Day special), and the meal was served at a very comfortable pace. The food was excellent and there was plenty of it. We had "take home" leftovers, enough for another meal. It was mostly full of people while we were there and the tables are fairly close together, but the noise level was acceptable. My wife and I could talk without having to raise our voices. This was our first visit there but it won't be our last. Like everything else at National Harbor, it was a bit pricey, but on a "you get what you pay for" scale, we got our money's worth. I would recommend this location for a date night, anniversary or other special occasions.
