    I love the architecture of Succotash, and the service is always extremely friendly and helpful. The food is also consistently good, if on the heavy side! I love the fried green tomato salad.

    I was visiting from FL and found this restaurant on Open Table. This was a great first-time experience. We made reservations and our table was ready upon arrival with NO wait! The food was delicious and I loved the pineapple iced tea! Friendly, accurate and prompt service by the staff was also a plus. The establishment was also very clean. I was pleasantly impressed! This restaurant will definitely be on my list of must-stops when I return to the DMV.
