Best Southern American Restaurants in Merrifield

Wow!!!! Service 10/10 Ayanna was great! Deshaun was awesome showed us the private area and the food was intoxicating! The chef brought out some trinity spring rolls that was so good I wanted to cry. Overall 10/10 A must try if you’re in DC

Most delicious cuisine, but some tough meat. Recommend fried cuisine with Succotash ale.

This is a nice restaurant; however, service was not particularly attentive, one of us didn't get the meal they ordered, and almost everything in every dish had WAY TOO MUCH pepper in it to be truly enjoyable. A true shame because the overall quality of the food, otherwise, was quite good. Generous portions for each of the 4 dishes we ordered. Nice presentation. Just too much pepper.

Great ambiance and service! I had the seafood salad and the grilled shrimp and chunks of crab were delicious and there was a nice combination of bacon, eggs, cucumber and tomatoes on a lightly dressed bed of kale as well. The presentation was delightful to the eye and composed beautifully. I will look forward to another visit in the future!

Run, do not walk, to Succotash! I was not expecting much, as I am a Northerner, and greens and grits are out of my wheelhouse. But everything at Succotash was eye-rolling, out-of-this-world delicious. We got the Taste of the South, which is shareable plates of most of everything on the menu. Our server, Xavier, assured us there would be plenty of food, and he was not kidding. We started with kimchi deviled eggs and fried green tomato salad with goat cheese. Then smoked chicken wings and an incredible hot sweet cornbread. The mains included local crispy catfish, BBQ pork ribs, chicken and waffles (amazingly crunchy crust and meltingly tender chicken!), collard greens with country ham, awesome mac'n' cheese. Xavier was magical, whisking away empty plates and bringing new ones. THEN mini pecan pies, and hummingbird cake truffles. We had to get a take-home box. Wow, wow, wow! Kudos to the chef and the kitchen staff. Everything was hot and beautifully plated. The only things we didn't get were grits and.. succotash!
