While Succotash between families will share similarities, each family’s recipe is deeply personal and reminiscent of those special suppers that brings kin together.

    Food and atmosphere were great! We did have to wave down the wait staff multiple times to refill water and order drinks. We also had to ask for napkins as we were not given any when we were seated. They seemed rushed but there was maybe 1/4 of the tables seated with a waiting team of around 6 people.

    For the third time, we ate Thanksgiving lunch/dinner mid-afternoon at Succotash. The crowds from early had left and the evening folks hadn't come, so it was relatively quiet. There is one menu for Thanksgiving, so we didn't have to make any decisions. Everything was great and we brought some turkey and ham, a deviled egg, and brussel sprouts home with us. The salad vanished quickly, as did the mashed potatoes and green beans. Desserts are so cute, and it is great to have several to sample. /They didn't make it home with us either! Our only addition was mugs of the hot mulled cider (sans Bourbon - no alcohol for us). It is truly worth it!

    This was amazing! My boyfriend and I drove an hour out to check this place out because the reviews seemed pleased. I was very happy with the service, the ambiance was gorgeous, and the food was so yummy! Even hearing it up the next day it still tasted just as good! We ordered a pepperoni pizza and chicken Alfredo and they were delicious! Thanks so much for making this night fun!

    The chicken Parmesan, bread and lasagna were quite tasty. I’d definitely recommend this place. The service could have been better like providing suggestions and discussing menu items. It would also have been better if the server would stop to check rather than me continuously asking for things like cutlery, pepper, refills etc.
