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 always make reservations for our meeting groups here, but I’ve never gone myself. So thought I’d check it out so I could give my honest opinion. It was great! Edison seated us and he was absolutely the best. He answered all our questions and actually made good suggestions. The food was amazing. We ordered the wasabi created fried oysters as appetizers. Nice light and crispy coating and the wasabi was on the side so we could put on as much it as little as we wanted. We ordered a Spritz and the pino from Oregon. Went perfectly with our Steak and catfish with crawfish étouffée . we were too full to order dessert. Oh and the She crab soup!! Soooo creamy and just enough spice. We will be coming back. Chefs kisses toThe Warehouse🥰 Shout out to Edison our VERY polite and attentive server🥰🤘

    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.
