I dined here with a friend and, being from the Low country, was excited about the menu. The Sunday brunch was awesome. There was a variety of selections and the food did not disappoint. I’m looking forward to coming for dinner the next time I’m in town.

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.

Dinner for Four (two couples) at the Tavern! 5-stars thanks to a prefect meal presented to us by Patrick. Due to the price of the "5 course" Game and Seafood dinner I was fully expecting to be underwhelmed. However, a few things came together to make it worthy of 5 starts. First we were seated in an a more intimate room. At first we thought the fireplace room might be more desirable but they were loud (children etc). Second and most importantly, our server, Patrick knocked it out of the park. Conversation, pacing, attentiveness, delivery...everything. And yes, the Chef also prepared everything to perfection. Venison, short ribs, lobster...etc. While we won't be back...we were very pleased to have dined here.
