   We had a terrible experience at Succotash Prime. We made a 4:30 reservation and provided a credit card to make the reservation. We arrived a few minutes before 4:30 and we were told that we could not be seated because the wait staff was changing over. We waited over 15 minutes for our table. Once we were seated, they brought us water glasses but now water. We waited about 15 minutes. For our waiter to appear. He went to get water and took forever to return with water. We immediately placed our drink and food order. We waited about 20 minutes to get our drinks and our waiter did not being the correct order. Our food was brought to the table by runners, but our waiter never came to check on us. It was like he didn’t want to serve our table. After dinner we asked for dessert menus. It took the waiter about 15 minutes to get the dessert menus to us. At that point I was done. We asked for the check and then waited about 15 minutes for the check to arrive and then we had to wait while the waiter ran the credit card. We will NEVER return to this restaurant. The service was terrible. They should not accept reservations if they won’t sit you. There were plenty of open tables when we arrive. Avoid this place.

   Had a wonderful experience. All food was above expectations. Had several appetizers including the culinary wars special. Drinks hit the spot. Entrees were worth sharing including the catch of the day Rockfish. Our server, Wilbur, was excellent. Would definitely do this again.

   Getting our table was a bit chaotic. There isn’t much room to wait by the hostess stand. And I would have preferred a table further from the front doors, but everything from then on out was aces. Service was friendly and professional. The fried chicken and waffles were delicious. The maple bourbon syrup makes the dish. Will definitely return!

   A lovely place, comfortably laid out. Service was a bit slow, particularly getting our drinks- we actually had our appetizer before our drinks arrived. Food came out promptly. Watching the staff work together, helping each other was a treat.

   Good Service, decent drinks HORRIBLE FOOD!!! And making a party of six split the bill manually will NEVER bring us back!!! Don’t waist your time or your money!!! Too many other great options in DC that’ll treat a customer like a special guest.

   This was our 2nd time eating at Succotash. Just as good as the first time. We ordered the Taste of the South. The food was excellent and we got to sample a variety of food from the menu. Fried green tomato salad, deviled eggs, chicken wings, shrimp and grits, ribeye steak, chicken and waffles, cornbread, collard greens and garlic smashed potatoes for the two side. OMG so good. We took our dessert to go we were so full. Highly recommend Succotash.

    The five stars were solely for our server. Unfortunately, my friend had an unpleasant exchange with a manager (female) because she is a vegetarian and wanted to order a grilled cheese from the kids menu (along with vegetarian sides from the regular menu), Rather than just advise that she would be charged at the adult price she responded like it is unfathomable and that the restaurant was slighted. It was not like we didn’t order from the regular menu along with cocktails. Fortunately, another manager on duty gave “the ok” and she was able to receive the GC at the adult price. I like Succotash (went to their other DC location before) but the Downtown location really needs to take a look at their management staff, as her response really made for a negative experience that I will share with others beyond just this review.
