This is my third time visiting Succotash. They consistently feature high quality live music that is often danceable. The food is well seasoned and served with flair and imagination. Everybody who works there acts like they are part of a team that’s customer oriented. There is free parking too. It’s just a good vibe all around. The only downside is no ABC license, but the beer list has NOLA beers that are hard to find so…
We will be returning, for sure.

My wife and I have been here twice now and this is where I chose to go have a birthday lunch and no regrets. We have been there when the weather was sunny and warm and sat outside both times in a comfortable area. The inside looks cozy and we will be back and want to catch some of the live music. We had the same waiter both times there and he was very pleasant and attentive. The first time we were there, there were two gentleman playing some jazz and that was a bonus. And we have liked everything we have eaten there which included the smoked brisket plate, smoked brisket empanada, succotash, seafood gumbo, coleslaw and a couple of things I'm sure I've forgotten. It was all very tasty. The beer and wine selection offers plenty to choose from but maybe not the largest selection. Parking is adequate and the bathroom was clean. We are thankful it is close to us and we will be back.

Highly recommend! We had their app hot honey cauliflower and our entrees were the red drum (fish of the day) and brisket plate. All were stellar! Service was friendly and attentive. I'll definitely return when I'm next in the area.

You should definitely try Succotash Southern and Creole restaurant in Durham. You also want to have a reservation since it doesn’t have a lot of tables. I will be recommending this place to clients, friends & family. Staff was on top of everything. We will be back!

Found this Gem by accident and it definitely didn't disappoint. I just wanted lunch and ended up eating an entire pint of their delicious succotash w/small pieces of brisket, and followed it up with the delicious 🍋 cake topped with lemon, blueberries and strawberries. Presented nicely and it tasted fabulous!!! Loved it 🤸🏾♀️

A small local restaurant I’ve dined at many times, specializing in southern/creole cooking. Had their special - blackened red drum over a cheese grits cake with grilled asparagus, topped with crab meat, shrimp and crawfish. OMG! It was the best thing I’ve ever had there. Wait staff is friendly and prompt. Highly recommended this local eatery!

I had the fresh catch special (grouper) with grilled asparagus and a side salad, and the fish was SO GOOD. Really tender and sizeable portions for the price.
Would have loved for there to be a baked or non-fried option for the potatoes, but the vegetable sides were good.

Have been here probably ten times time and it’s ALWAYS incredible, dine in or as takeaway. The staff is always super kind and attentive. It’s a smaller space but never feels crowded or super loud like some spaces and their patio is great. The prices undoubtedly match the quality of the food and the food is consistently great and they have a nice beer selection to boot. They host fun events on the weekends and seem to be doing more and more to support community involvement. Really can’t say enough good things about this place.

Great food and service. I thought the live music would be too loud to have conversation but it was perfect. Best fried green tomatoes I’ve had. Companion had the smoked brisket plate which was also excellent

The food here is usually pretty good. Our entrées were pretty good however, the catfish could’ve been a little less moist on the inside. Also, please consider making the fried green tomatoes, a side versus entrée. The beans and rice are always good as well as the gumbo. I also had the speciality tea which that day was a agave basil mix. It was surprisingly delicious.

I came here with my husband and we were really impressed by the food and the atmosphere! It's been a while since my visit, but I was honestly shocked that I hadn't had the chance to review it. We got the smoked brisket plate, the jambalaya, and the gumbo. I think the brisket plate was out favorite item, but the jambalaya was a close second!! We are excited to come back soon.
