I'm a planner by nature so it was odd to land in DC without a full itinerary, including lunch spots mapped out and reservations made. I did have dinner plans confirmed, but that was it. So, early Saturday morning, I was in my hotel room furiously Googling nearby brunch spots. I generally don't repeat restaurants, so although I love Founding Farmers and Le Diplomate, I was not interested in returning. I also really wanted dim sum and had a spot bookmarked. However, dim sum is a group sport--best enjoyed when you can order a lot and have a bite, yes, a bite, of everything. Ultimately, Succotash Prime seemed a good choice, close enough to the hotel and attractions. The restaurant is on several floors. On the first floor, there is a bar, larger booths on one side, and leather banquette seating on the other side. Additional tables were available upstairs. I loved the ambiance. Succotash Prime, as the name suggests, offers Southern cuisine. On the menu, you can see biscuits and gravy, chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, cornbread cakes, and fried green tomato salad. I started with the deviled eggs, one with green tomatoes and the other half with bacon jam. The former was surprisingly better, even though both were good. For my main, I had the crab cakes Benedict. Instead of an English muffin, there was a biscuit. The poached eggs were perfect, as were the petite crab cakes. I did not enjoy the biscuit, though; I found it rich/ greasy. The potato salad was not to my taste. Belle's Kiss mocktail was just okay. The amount of ginger was overpowering, though I liked the blood peach and pineapple juices. Service was fantastic, from the first warm welcome to the final farewell. read more

Great happy hour! It's also so beautiful inside! We sat at the bar and had some glasses of rose. We got some snacks as well- the deviled eggs with bacon jam were so delicious! The chicken wings were also amazing- they had a dry rub with this amazing Alabama white sauce. Also got fries which were the best- nice and crispy and the ketchup had a kick to it. Can't wait to go back here again soon!! read more

Easily one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. I had some very high end restaurants even Michelin Star, and numerous other very high end notable places. Being born and raised in the south and loving a good meal this was more than just fantastic, I would consider it a destination point for consideration of returning to DC to include this as a reason. We ordered the taste of the south sampling meal so we got to try everything. The smoked wings were fantastic and the sauce was phenomenal. I love dipping sauces. The corn bread was the best I've ever had. Moist and flavorful. The deviled eggs were surprisingly great. The fried green tomato salad was a standout surprise absolutely fantastic. Very fresh and flavorful. The sides were Mac n cheese, and collards. Again amazing all around! creamy and lots of cheese. Savory and large fresh greens. The main was chicken and waffles, steak, shrimp and grits. All fantastic. This is getting long but all 3 mains were just as good as anything else. Tender chicken, fresh waffles, perfect temp steak, popping shrimp n grits. Desert had the only thing I could pass on. The pecan pie was just a small taste round type and was just ok, maybe a full slice would be better. The humming bird cake was great. The vanilla ice cream was fantastic. I had the hey peaches drink as well that was refreshing and heavy poured. Easy 9.8/10 verging on 9.9. I would come here all the time if we lived here. The flavors and taste were so well executed it's hard to explain it all. Our server was Briyan and he complemented the meal and experience and was extremely helpful and pleasant. Service was a 10/10 and made things next level again. Clark the floor / bar manager was present and was willing to do anything for the guest and the experience. Both of these gentleman made the dinner more than just a meal. read more

Everything can happen within their extended amazing Happy Hour! It goes till 7pm, y'all! For real! They are kind even when busy and strangely have the best glassware in the city. We shared the cornbread, the cauliflower and loved every bite of it! Mr Lee's is their speakeasy we look forward to going to next time as we got distracted and forgot to go. Hands down the best food in the area and so very well curated. Get the deviled eggs and live your life! Chickens should be so lucky! read more

Outstanding experience at Succotash Prime. Cesar, our waiter, was exceptional, knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful with his recommendations. His professionalism and warm approach made the evening feel effortless and elevated. Chris, the manager, was equally impressive, ensuring everything ran smoothly and that we felt truly taken care of. The level of service was white-glove from start to finish. Add in a great atmosphere and a team that clearly takes pride in what they do, and this place is a standout in D.C. Highly recommend. Note: we came in to celebrate a birthday (party of 7), and did the 'Taste of the South'. Highly recommended. read more

During a recent visit to the National Harbor for a recognition gala with friends, we decided to grab lunch at Succotash, and it was a fantastic choice! The weather was beautiful, so we opted for outdoor seating and were greeted with great customer service, seated quickly. We started our meal with deviled eggs and fried pickles. I absolutely loved the deviled eggs, while my friends enjoyed the fried pickles, which looked great as well. For the main course, two of us ordered the fried chicken sandwich with spicy sauce, served on a sesame seed bun with a side of fries. It was excellent--definitely a bit messy, but I personally enjoy a sandwich that has character! If you like a little kick, they offer various spice levels, and the "spicy" was just the right amount for us. One friend opted for the avocado toast, which looked delicious and got rave reviews. We washed it all down with iced teas and water, rounding off a great meal. Overall, the ambiance was lovely, and we had a wonderful dining experience. I would definitely return to Succotash the next time I'm in the area. I'm giving it 4 stars for the great food, service, and atmosphere! read more

Came for their happy hour around 5:30 PM and managed to grab one of the last seats at the bar. The restaurant itself is beautiful, and the bartenders were all very nice. I got the deviled eggs, Korean cauliflower, and fried oysters. Everything was tasty and a great price for happy hour! The cauliflower especially was a big portion, and I was definitely full after. For drinks I got the milk punch and Belle's punch, both were really tasty (and decently strong)! I would definitely come back for happy hour again! read more

Lively atmosphere, very friendly and attentive staff. The decor was inviting and clean, the restaurant had an airy feel. It reminded me of being in New Orleans. It filled up mid-week just after 5. We stopped in after a long day of sightseeing, tired and hungry. We sampled the deviled eggs and cornbread to get us started. The deviled eggs had a great tangy pickle flavor and the cornbread was moist and delicious. Hubs and I shared the Pimento Cheeseburger with Collard Greens. I enjoyed trying the collard greens, they had a good flavor, more on the tangy side. My SIL had the Apple Cider Pork Ribs and he said it was hands down the star of our table. And his citrus salad side was also a MUST TRY. We all got to steal a bite. We tried the Hummingbird cake - it was big enough to feed 5. Kinda on the drier side but feed our sweet tooth. read more

I enjoyed my time here. I dined by myself here and the waiter was very friendly and attentive throughout my dining experience. The ambiance is beautiful and gives a very romantic vibe. I had the deviled eggs (two of each option) and the catfish with Mac and cheese. I loved everything. Didn't love the fact that the catfish came with lettuce drenched in whatever it was drenched in but the catfish alone was so good. Mac and cheese was great. Would definitely come back with my husband if we decide to visit DC again. read more

Came here because 1) it was across the street from our hotel and 2) I'm a huge fan of Chef Edward Lee. Keep in mind, we don't know too much about Southern food since we're from New York, but the dishes we had were incredible and had "A Taste of the South." Perfect for a date night or large gathering especially if you are doing the pre-fixe option. You get to try a bit of everything. Our server was very attentive and friendly. So no complaints from this happy gal. read more

TLDR: Incredible food with Southern and Korean twists, and some of the best cocktails we've had in a while. Aesthetic Southern decor and hospitality. We had brunch at Succotash Prime for Mother's Day, and it was one of the best meals we've had in a minute. We made reservations weeks in advance since of the holiday. Our table was upstairs with a great view of the restaurant which let us take in the beautifully decorated Southern charm interior. The menu, created by Chef Edward Lee, mixes Southern classics from his Kentucky roots with Korean flavors, and the results are solid. We started with a bunch of appetizers to share: the bacon jam + fried green tomato deviled eggs were "eggcellent", and Jamie's cornbread with hot honey butter was a fan favorite. We also tried the pecan sticky buns and a few Southern sides like the kimchi collard greens, creamy corn succotash, and cheesy grits. Not a single miss. For mains, we had the pimento cheese burger with fries and gochujang ketchup and the crispy chicken sandwich that also had pimento cheese. Both were delicious offerings: crispy, cheesy, full of flavor, and super satisfying. One thing that really stood out was the cocktail program. The drinks were creative and seriously good. I had one called Nuts About Nana, their spin on an Old Fashioned with bourbon, banana liqueur, brown sugar, and chocolate + walnut bitters which it legit tasted like banana bread. Service was great too--super friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Bottom line: Succotash Prime is 100% worth checking out, whether it's a celebration or you're craving a memorable meal. We'll definitely be back! read more

Regal but comfy ambiance, befitting for the museum district its nearby Good service All right food. Nothing really stood out in a good way or a bad way. My companion says the food was 'mid' . Good portion but when accounting for the price, makes sense. Deviled eggs (tasted like deviled eggs), crispy Korean cauliflower (all right crisp, sweet n spicy k chicken sauce, leaning more on the sweet side), kimchi crab dip was generous in portion, neither kimchi nor crab flavor really stood out; Shrimp n grits, the grits/sauce tasted like Korean soybean 쌈장 sauce. Shrimp was cooked fine. Personally preferred this to kimchi crab dip read more

Well, that was delicious! We sat at the bar for happy hour and had fantastic service from our excellently tattooed bartender. I started with a milk punch and my friend got the southern sangria. The milk punch was really surprising - the clarified milk gives it the rich taste of cream but the drink itself is clear. Weird but very tasty. We got some corn bread to share, which was also yummy. Feeling hungry, I followed it up with a pimento cheese burger that also had bacon jam and pickles, served with fried and gochujang ketchup. Fantastic! The port gooey cheese and jam were such a good complement to the meat and the fries were basically perfect. To go with my burger, I had the Belle's punch, which was refreshing and fruity. Honestly, both drinks were super. The space is beautiful and very classic looking. The only complaint I'd have is that it is super noisy. We were there before 5, and even then it wasn't quiet. By 630, it was quite noisy. read more

I'm so glad we went for the tasting menu! It was definitely worth the $60 each, especially since it included all the stand outs we are planning on ordering anyway! Our server was very nice as well. Old bay Mac and cheese was outrageously good. I'm a bit more partial to cheesy shrimp and grits but these were still good, and I think I would have preferred a small square of the hummingbird cake rather than a cake ball but, again, still tasted great. Incredibly beautiful space! Felt like a real occasion and my friend from out of town loved it! read more

Everything about this place was stellar! Elegant, spacious atmosphere. Extensive beer/wine/spirits menu. Phenomenal food. Expert staff that can guide your food, wine, cocktail choices. I can't say enough about this restaurant. It offers a unique Southern / Korean fusion menu. We started with order of crispy cauliflower and an order of tuna tartare. Both amazing. I'd say the cauliflower is more unique and there would recommend if you were only getting one appetizer. I will say the cauliflower was cooked but a little firmer than expected but oh so delicious. I ordered the PORK RIBS, which were served on bed of rice. OMG...they were amazing. Very tender and absolutely delicious seasoning and sauce. read more

Having worked in Louisville and dined at Ed Lee's spectacular 610 Magnolia restaurant, I wanted to visit his Succotash Prime, located on F Street in Washington DC. When I arrived, I was wowed by the structure, which appears to be a former bank building. Inside, it's full of glorious sunshine from the massive skylights. I was seated immediately and it took 5-8 minutes for my server to visit my table. He was impressed I had dined at Lee's other restaurants. The reviews on Yelp mostly feature a heavy Southern lineup of Deviled Eggs, the Fried Green Tomatoes salad, the Dirty Chicken and the Collard Greens. When I mentioned this to my server, he said you can get chicken anywhere, but the steaks are prepared on a unique Southern Pride Smoker. He suggested I go with the Tuna Tartare, I ordered the 14 ounce Ribeye and my server said the Classic Smashed Potatoes were creamy and buttery. The smoked soy overwhelms the tuna, so that was unfortunate. Steak was perfectly prepared. The potatoes were not what was described, they were more like chunks of potatoes. It certainly wasn't creamy. I will say they have a massive bourbon selection and the Old Fashioned with Honey was delightful. I appreciated my server's suggestions, but now I wish I had gone with the Yelp winners. read more

Only knew about Succotash after watching Culinary Class Wars and Chef Edward Lee mentioning his restaurant as a Korean and southern American fusion - yeah, sign me up. Really cool spot in a historical building, clean interior that gives some 'chic' southern vibes. Trout sandwich and the Kentucky hot brown were delightful and felt elevated but still had their roots. We'd come back for either. Kimchi collards were solid, some of the better collards I've had in 'nicer restaurants', still not better than a greasy spoon or a bbq shack. Gochujang tater tots were waaaayy over sauced, and very uninspired - idk what I expected but we'd never order those again. Massive portion, shame we wasted more than half of it swimming in sauce. I hope they were down a server because we had some very hit and miss service. Waiter would disappear for long streaks of time, took a long time to get the check - probably waited 10 minutes after we'd totally finished eating before a busser came by for our plates. This was for brunch (espresso drinks were alright) and we definitely plan on returning for dinner at some point! read more

Came here as a CCW fan but unfortunately the special CCW menu was already over. The ambiance and service was nice but i felt like the dirty chicken dish i got was pretty one dimensional and heavy.

I went right after Culinary Wars aired because I was obsessed with Edward Lee. This is the central location by Chinatown. There is another succotash in the National Harbor by the casino. This was my first time going with my friend who had been there in the past. I was really happy to see a late happy hour here so we got to partake in happy hour, and because it's DC the service here is exquisite. The restaurant is absolutely stunning. I think it's an old bank turned restaurant and the ceiling is just spectacular. I quite enjoyed a lot of the appetizers, but the steak was really disappointing. We obviously got a prime rib. The name has prime in it but the steak was dry. I think it might've been an off day so I will have to come back. When I checked their website towards the end of the year, they did have a fun culinary wars (if you've been living under a rock, this is the Korean cooking competition on Netflix) special menu, but I think this might not be there anymore so just doublecheck. read more

I came with a group of friends for brunch and I was very impressed. The exterior if I wasn't actively looking for it, I would have assumed it to be a bank or some corporate company. The interior almost makes you forget that you are in a restaurant in DC, I felt like I was in a museum/greenhouse. Our group got the "Taste The South" as we were about 10 people. It's a set menu served family style including appetizers, mains and sides. Two people in our group had nut allergies, which they were very accommodating on even with the "no substitutions please". Our server was very attentive to our needs, after each course was finished, our plates and silverware were all cleared and given a new set. He would sweep away crumbs in between courses as well. Portion sizes were plentiful and considerate of everyone. The fried green tomatoes would have been more enjoyable if they were laid on top of the salad rather than beneath. I felt that it lost the texture of the breading. My favorite dish was the French Toast which was substituted for the Pecan Sticky Buns. The brioche was so crispy on the outside that it almost felt like it was panko crusted instead of corn crusted, the inside was so fluffy, The mixture of the lemon curd, berries and maple syrup were the perfect balance between tart and sweet. It is a must try. We also tried their drinks; according to one of the individuals in the group, the gochujang bloody mary had very little gochujang taste. My boyfriend got the bellini but without the egg white foam. My friend tried Belle's Punch which was very tasty in his opinion and I got the Hey Peaches. The Hey Peaches is quite bourbon forward, it was the first time I'd had a frozen bourbon drink and I highly recommend eating the peach ring first or else you'll get hit with a wave of bourbon if you let it soak. Overall, I would love to come back and try their other dishes. It was hard not to peer over to other tables to see what they were ordering. read more

Terrible cocktails! The bartender had zero idea of what he was doing. Egg whites on a Whiskey Sour were shot out of a CO2 canister resulting in thick gooey meringue a third inch thick - which he then drizzled with Luxardo cherry juice, making the drink look like an ice cream sundae. On the second one, I asked for it to be on the rocks, which never has egg white, and he put this same mess on top of that! Clearly uneducated in the art of mixology. I wrote to the restaurant but they did not have the courtesy to respond. Food was OK, table service was good. read more

Great locale for special occasions. I often bring colleagues and family (when they're passing through town) here. The food is fresh, and the dishes are inventive. The service is always on point, and the dining area is always a crowd pleaser. While one wouldn't think southern cuisine and Korean could exist in the same dishes, this establishment has found the intersection, and it does it well. read more

While visiting the D.C. area for a few days, we decided to check out celebrity chef Edward Lee's restaurant. We're big fans of his, so we were really excited to eat there. The service was great from beginning to end. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely kind. Our group felt well taken care of the whole time. The food came out at a nice pace, and we never had to go looking for someone if we needed anything. I was especially excited to try the summer rolls because I love perilla leaves. Unfortunately, the cilantro was a little too strong for my taste, and it made it hard to enjoy the other flavors. I'm not usually bothered by cilantro, but it really took over the dish for me. The pork belly ssam was delicious. The butter lettuce went perfectly with the rich pork belly and all the accompaniments. The cornbread was easily the star of the meal and everyone's favorite at the table. It was moist, buttery, and packed with flavor. The cream served with it was absolutely amazing. For our entrées, we ordered the chicken and waffles and the petit filet. The petit filet was excellent. It had a great smoky flavor and was cooked perfectly. The chicken and waffles, on the other hand, were a bit of a letdown. The flavors sounded great, but the chicken itself was pretty dry. I also tried the hummingbird cake for dessert, which was fine. Since we were dining with our four-year-old, I really appreciated that the restaurant had a separate kids menu. The portions were surprisingly generous, and she even got a huge scoop of ice cream for dessert, which she loved. The restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere and thoughtfully designed décor. It has a warm Southern feel and honestly reminded me of what Tiana's dream restaurant might look like. The space also seems like a great spot for larger groups and celebrations. Even though a couple of the dishes fell short of our expectations, we had a great experience and look forward to coming back. There are still plenty of menu items and drinks we'd love to try on a future visit. read more

Chef Edward Lee, are you there? If you have watched Iron Chef or Culinary Class Wars on Netflix, you would know who Chef Lee is. Had high hopes for this place but it kinda fell short of expectations. Food was good. Everything was tasty and prices weren't too bad. First bite was tasty but after a while, it just kinda fades away. Basically trying to say that it doesn't leave a lasting impression and keep you wanting more. Southern food with a korean twist. I see the vision that Chef Lee was trying to accomplish though. We got the deviled eggs, popcorn shrimp, chicken and waffles, and the catch of the day (which was arctic char). The devil eggs are really good so i could recommend. We got the bacon flavored one. Popcorn shrimp was decent. Catfish was okay. I would probably not get it again. Chicken and waffles was decent. You get 2 thighs, 2 drumsticks and 2 waffles. Pretty crunchy and then the honey was good. Catch of the day was great. I really enjoyed it but the portion was kinda small even though it was the most expensive dish we ordered. Drink wise, we got the slush one (1st cocktail on the menu, forgot what's it called) and the whiskey sour. Tasty. Service was fantastic. We arrived 30 mins before our reservation and they still were able to seat us. Our waiter was nice as well. Inside, the ambience was nice and cozy. Love how the restaurant was laid out but it was a little dim off to the sides while the middle seating area had light coming down from the clear roof. Would i come again? Hard to say since it didn't leave a lasting impression but maybe if friends wanted to check it? read more

A colonial building that can use a few updates. The music was nice and relaxing. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and was very honest about the food. Now let's get into talking about the food. We ordered the popcorn shrimp extra crispy. Well it came out and the batter was falling off. The flavors were good. The wedge salad was good. But the pork pieces were ice cold and undercooked. The Dirty Chicken. They need to work on making sure the chicken is cooked and don't feed people old chicken. My wife was about to vomit. The Burger was dry as a desert. For the amount of food you will spend you can go somewhere else. read more

I surprisingly enjoyed Succotash! My sister and I already had plans to stop by an art exhibit and planned to grab food at any available restaurant afterwards. Succotash happened to be the closest spot so we walked in and waited about 10mins before we were seated. We sat upstairs in a darker area which seemed more like a little bar. There was a single restroom nearby. Our server, Leo, really helped make our experience a great one. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and honest with his recommendations. We ordered French 75 to start, they were good and pretty strong. Then we followed up with oysters and shrimp as appetizers. Both were very good and each had a kick to them. The oysters were cooked and present on small pieces of toast. The battered shrimp came out similar to fried calamari. For our entrees, we went with catfish and garlic smashed potatoes, and dirty chicken with old bay macaroni and cheese. The fish was nice but I requested a side of hot sauce for added flavor. Everything was so tasty. The smash ex potatoes were amazing. And dirty chicken had Asian spices and is doubled fried. We ended up adding dessert, going with the banana pudding and hummingbird. Delicious!!! The hummingbird cake was huge and I couldn't eat it all. I'm so happy it all worked out and even happier with the exceptional service Leo gave. I'd definitely recommend this spot. This restaurant has more of a southern cuisine but they do bring the flavor. The inside is nicely decorated and gets great lighting. However, we sat in a very dimly lit area of the restaurant. read more

Went to Succotash and overall was a great time, staff is friendly and the atmosphere is relaxing and upscale. It felt like an elegant southern comfort restaurant. We got the taste of the south which I would recommend if you have never been to try it all but the chicken and waffles were underwhelming, i personally did not like the shrimp and grits (was a bit too soupy and under flavored) but the steak was amazing. The cornbread was the best I have ever had but truly the star of it all were the chicken wings and old bay Mac and cheese, so unbelievably good! read more

The happy hour here is phenomenal! They have a great selection of food and drink items. The country ham and biscuits were to die for. The biscuits tasted like they were made from scratch. The crispy Korean cauliflower was so good as well. The portion sizes were large enough to share with two people. I got 4 happy hour glasses of wine and two happy hour food items for $36! The ambiance was very relaxing. The lights were dim and the music wasn't too loud. If you want a table, I would definitely make a reservation. The bar gets crowded pretty fast too. I would suggest getting there early if you want seats at the bar. The service was great. The waiter was very friendly and attentive. The manager even came around to see how we were doing. read more

Filet cooked perfectly. Succotash side was so creamy!! Bacon jam deviled eggs - love that you can order them individually.

Came here with a party of 4, friends from out of town. We were able to get reservations and it's conveniently located off the metro stop. We decided to the taste of the south and it did not disappoint. This selection came with many different items and if you decide to order this, it does take time. The tasting menu and its portions were thoughtfully crafted and we were able to try every dish without feeling hungry or without too much extra. Each item was so good and I would eat any of them again. My favorite was the Kim chee collard greens. The collard greens were cooked well without being mushy, like how I sometimes get them, and they had a nice Kim chee kick. The chicken and waffle was another one I enjoyed. The chicken was so good and the waffle also was golden and had a crunchy, not soggy waffle. If you're hungry and the items on the tasting menu are interesting, then I would recommend it! Everyone in your party must participate though. read more

Arrived at Succotash as a Valentine's Day surprise, my husband decided we should start trying new places especially after we watched a culinary show with Chef Edward Lee. Upon arrival the restaurant is within a building with two large doors with I believe corn shaped handles. Upon entrance it has a nice dim lit ambiance with tables set up on two floors. The second floor overlooks the first. There was an available Valentine's Day menu to enjoy in its entirety or a la carte. There were options on the traditional menu to do a tasting of a few menu items - the taste of the south. I decided on the Valentine's Day menu lamb option my husband ordered ribs. Comparing both our meals the lamb was definitely more flavorful while the ribs and dirty rice felt they were missing something not quite hitting the mark on expected flavor profiles, although they did look visually appealing and were very tender. We did also try the deviled eggs with bacon jam, which was enjoyable with a nice piece of bacon paired under with jam beneath the whipped deviled egg yolk. As well as the fried oysters which we were informed had a kick but we also enjoyed. Service was great, our waiter informed us of menu items they enjoyed, drinks we might consider and ways to explore the menu from his experience.
