Can't say enough praise about our dinner at Succotash. The shrimp and grits were amazingly delicious. The service was perfect. The room is beautiful and comfortable and not too noisy. An excellent place for our anniversary, and we're so glad we chose Succotash.

I enjoyed dinner last night at Miss Toya (Silver Spring) a lot. This restaurant has always had good food, but the service has frequently been lackluster at best. Last night, the service experience rose to the level of the superb food. Our server was attentive and checked back frequently. I had the pork chops with macaroni and cheese and collard greens as my sides. Everything was delicious, although the greens could have been warmer. I'm looking forward to returning in the near future.

My first time at this location. Our waiter, Justine, was energetic and gave great recommendations. She provided excellent customer service. The Espresso Martini was delicious but a little strong. The Salmon and Grits were delicious, and the Berry French Toast with cream cheese icing was outstanding. The fried green tomatoes had a different taste (they had spinach and parmesan cheese with a vinaigrette dressing, I think); they were ok. Overall, the customer service, food, and drinks were excellent.
