We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Mount Vernon Inn! The menu selections were extensive, including some of the items George Washington himself loved! We sampled the hoecakes (delicious) and peanut soup, which was a very rich and creamy soup that reminded me of French onion soup. My spouse had the French Toast off the Brunch Menu: it came with a side of cottage potatoes. I chose the Caesar salad with grilled chicken breast: don’t skip their croutons which are memorable. The portions were more than enough for us—especially the salad! We were seated in one of the many different rooms in a high traffic area which in hindsight I would avoid due to the noise and general commotion. Overall, though, I would recommend as part of the George Washington Mount Vernon experience!

Definitely a treat for thanksgiving! Wonderful and local, it was just a short drive for us to a fantastic Thanksgiving meal. The river view at sunset was lovely and the appetizers with warm cider and a creamy delicate bisque were Amazing! Service seemed a little disorganized which initially delayed libations but everyone was so friendly and the atmosphere was so nice (if a bit on the chilly side; bring a sweater) we just used the time for conversation. The meal was served family style for 2, portions were perfect and the right temperature (no small feat). The turkey leg confit (?) was excellent as was the dressing! A generous desert sampler ended the meal which was fun - - we enjoyed it but also sort wondered how great a pie of their creation would have been. We will definitely be back!

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!

Our server Alex was amazing. He welcomed us immensely and gave helpful suggestions. The food was exceptional. We especially loved the bread and stuffed trout. Definitely planning on coming back for a special occasion!

Perfect place to enjoy family and great food! We’ll be back for sure! Pro-tip: try the cheese bread with the marinara sauce on the side! That could have been my whole meal and I would have been perfectly happy:)
