    If you're anywhere near Ellijay, this place is worth the stop. A true family-owned spot with an…read moreauthentic Cajun feel, it delivers both on flavor and atmosphere. The food stands out right away. The Chicken Chardonnay is rich, perfectly prepared, and full of flavor. The fried shrimp are just as impressive--crispy, fresh, and easily some of the best you'll find. You can tell there's real attention to quality in every dish. The setting adds to the experience. Housed in a building from the 1800s, they've preserved the character beautifully. It has that warm, historic charm that makes you forget you're in North Georgia and not somewhere along the Gulf. Service is just as memorable. Ask for Shannon--she's an absolute gem and elevates the entire experience with her attention and personality. Great food, great atmosphere, and genuinely welcoming service. This is the kind of place you come back to.

The portions continue to get smaller and food temperatures too. Like the orders sat waiting to be served and got cold on the meantime. Although our server was kind and got our order right, she was in no hurry and not very friendly. I don't know if she was not allowed to serve butter with bread or not, but we didn't get any (after my husband had to ask for bread,) but I suspect that if butter had been included it would have been rock hard. I'm well aware of rising operational costs and how trickle-down works, and I'm no stranger to restaurant and kitchen work, but details matter. It's the little things that matter.

We had our 12 lb bundle of puppy joy with us so to the back deck we went. I think Dakotah was the only server on the main floor, both inside and out because it took a long time. Long time for water. He was busy even though the restaurant wasn't full. Poor guy. My hubby ordered the muffaletta and wasn't impressed. He ate it though. He loved his Abita root beer. I decided to order from the side menu and I'm so happy I did. The andouille sausage was grilled and tasty. The maque choux was amazing. Think Mexican corn with a Louisiana twist. Perfection!! The loaded grits were also wonderful- chocked full of gouda, bacon, and green onions. Delicious! The gumbo was thick like a stew. The flavor was smoky and sublime. My only beef is instead of all gumbo, the cup was filled mostly with rice... topped with gumbo. Overall we enjoyed our dinner. However, due to the pace of things, the underwhelming sandwich and perception of getting shorted on the chicken and gumbo. I wouldn't hesitate to swing by and order a maque choux to go as a snack except they charge $1 for the to-go container.

We shared the Brussel sprouts, the spinach and artichoke dip, and the three Onion and Apple soup. That soup was killer!!! Two in our party had the Tomahawk Pork chops. One had the Salmon over Teriyaki rice. I had the peach habanero meatball appetizer as a meal. All were really really good. Kaya was our server and she was wonderful. We are having dessert elsewhere but we will be back and will try it next time based on how good the food was.

The gal behind the counter was very prompt and courteous and answered my questions about options on the menu. There is a big stove across the bar so you can see some of the cooking that gets done. The only issue with that is the heat...I didn't want my frosty beer glass to warm up while I enjoyed one of their local brews. I'd rather sit away from the cooking action. I ordered the crab cakes which came with coleslaw. The crab cakes had a nice sauce decorating the top of each cake. I asked for more because the crab cakes were a bit more bread filled than crab filled. I know I am spoiled with west coast Dungeness crab as you get a lot of chunks and not well flaked blue crab, but I really was hoping for more crab than I got for the money. The coleslaw was just okay. It was a nice mayo based dressing but lacked a tangy/sweet combo that I just adore. I am not impressed enough to return.

I am extremely disappointed with our experience at Toccoa Riverside, and unfortunately, the biggest issue was the way it was handled by the manager on duty, Austin. We ordered a chicken nuggets kids meal for our 1 1/2-year-old son. When the meal arrived, he refused to eat it, which is unusual for him. After trying a piece ourselves, it was obvious why--the nuggets tasted freezer-burned, chewy, and completely inedible. They did not seem fresh and were not something I would feel comfortable serving to a toddler. We politely brought the issue to the attention of our server and asked if the meal could be switched for something else. Rather than showing any concern or attempting to make things right, Austin refused to accommodate the request. We weren't asking for a free meal or trying to be difficult--we simply wanted our young child to have something he could actually eat. What was most frustrating wasn't even the poor quality of the food, but the complete lack of customer service and common sense in handling the situation. A manager's job is to resolve problems and take care of guests, especially when it involves a child's meal. Instead, Austin chose to be unhelpful and inflexible, leaving us feeling dismissed and unwelcome. Kind of concerning the GM and owners of can leave this "MOD" responsible for handling their business. Restaurants make mistakes, and most customers understand that. What separates a good restaurant from a bad one is how those mistakes are handled. Unfortunately, based on this experience, Toccoa Riverside failed on both the food quality and customer service fronts.
