    First time eating here, while visiting National Harbor with out-of-state friends. Was hoping to make a good impression, and Succotash did not let us down. The food and service were excellent, and our delicious meals were a very good value. Despite the place being very busy, we were served quickly but we never felt rushed. This was a great experience. Well done!

    Our server was phenomenal! Come to find out he was still supposed to be in training, but was thrust onto the floor on a busy Saturday night, right before Christmas, because a couple servers had called in sick. I would have thought he was a regular server and had been there for quite a while! He was that good! I don’t have my receipt and I can’t remember his name, but it started with a “J”, maybe Jamil?

    I’ve dined here a few times for dinner but this was my first time experiencing brunch. As always, the food was delicious and the service was awesome. I’d suggest smaller frying pans for the omelettes and more burners & cooks so the wait time isn’t so long for food that really makes it brunch. Since everything else that is served, food wise, is from the regular menu; it would great to cut down on wait times for the breakfast items. Other than that, everything was amazing per usual. Lastly, the passion fruit mimosa….. refreshing, perfectly blended and delicious!!!
