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.

After reading other reviews I feel bad about offering a mediocre review…read more I've dined here several times and although the food is good, it isn't memorable or worth $25 per dish. 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.

The food was hot, fresh, and there were no issues with the service. But i had to knock two stars off my initial review. First off, I did order the same thing. Unfortunately the quantity was cut by somewhere between 20-40% Pic attatched. Secondly, the price went up by $1.50. I also asked for cocktail sauce again (fried shrimp, oysters, and gator tail) and they still have none. After 5 months that means its a chef or owner choice. Unless youre a multistar michellin chef, I would expext to be able to enjoy food with the common accessories, not someone else's choices. Again, the food was fine, the server was good, but it's losing stars for me on value and a lack of the most common fried seafood condiment ever.

He thought the seafood was good, but it wasn't his favorite place we've been. Since seafood isn't really my thing, I ordered the burger instead. Unfortunately, it wasn't my favorite. It had a bit of a fishy residue/taste, which I'm guessing comes from being cooked in a kitchen that primarily serves seafood. If you love seafood, that may not bother you at all, but as someone who doesn't enjoy seafood, it just wasn't for me. The staff was friendly, and the restaurant was clean. Overall, it just wasn't quite our style, but if you're a big seafood lover, it may be worth trying for yourself since tastes can definitely vary.

Had to also try the chicken and sausage gumbo, and this was a 10/10. Good size, if you're not hungry and looking for a little snack, this is perfect. I would even say this is filling enough with an appetizer and the soup. Generous meat portion in the soup as well. The fish was perfectly cooked, not dry whatsoever, and light and crisp exterior! Too good. This spot is worth traveling to - unassuming and delivers on fresh Southern food!!!

Ambiance and our server were the most enjoyable part of our dinner, with that being said…read more.. 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.
