    Nice Thanksgiving outing with family. For $40, the Thanksgiving needed more food items to choose from (sweet potatoes; roast beef; light & dark meat turkey; smoked & fried turkey choices;). There was very little cranberry sauce; and no dessert came with the meal? If it did, we didn’t get any dessert?

    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!

    We really enjoyed everything about our dining experience. The food was incredible and we really loved the view. Both dishes were well prepared and tasty. We also had the red velvet cake for dessert and we enjoyed it a lot. I would highly recommend going here.
