Toccoa Riverside Restaurant

This was our first visit to the Toccoa Riverside Restaurant - many more to come. The food, service, and atmosphere were awesome (unfortunately it was raining so we were not able to enjoy the restaurant from the deck). The place looks small from the front, but when you walk through your door, it opens up to a large facility - so don't let the cars in front discourage you - there is plenty of room. Definitely go for the trout. All are good, but my favorite was the blackened.

This is about as peaceful a place to eat I've ever been. The food was incredible, I had the trout sampler which came with lemon pepper, blackened and pecan crusted options and my Wife had their Crab stuffed shrimp.

Ok, I have eaten here for many years because I am a local. Always great food.

I have to say hats off to the “kitchen” and the waiters on our last visit. We walked in with a table of 27 that I think that turned I to over 35 by the end.

Three people in the group owned a restaurant in their Career. We expect the kitchen to take a hour plus to cook and plate the food.

About 15 minutes later food came ou, kids first and, by the cook time after that, within 30 mins we all had food. We told the staff to bring it as ready, kids first. They did just that.

Great job kitchen. Y’all made it happen!!! Y’all Took a very sad day and made all the families have a better day.

And all the food was amazing.

Cute place my husband has been wanting to try!! We had great service and the food was delicious! He got the rainbow trout dinner for $25. His plate looked a little sad compared to the rest of ours and what the other reviews show. The place is adorable though, right on the river! We will be back! My grilled cheese was amazing! One thing to note is if you have mobility issues, to eat riverside you must walk down stairs to the 3rd level.

Parking: It's very hard to get a spot. Most cars pull off the side of the road.

The rainbow river trout is their signature and best dish. I always get it pecan crusted then save room for the cobbler. Sitting down by the river is the best location to eat. The second is on the outside porch. No reservations taken.

Parking: When busy you might have to park down the road.

Believe it or not, my wife and I planned our most recent trip to the Georgia mountains and Blue Ridge area around this restaurant! We come here every time we’re in the area and it never disappoints.

I was there last Friday with my company after riding the rounds down the stream. Your food and service was so beyond great. We use to get this kind of food in forsyth county, no more. Loved the setting of pastures as I live in a pasture, lol. It was the best ever. Thank you so much.

The broiled trout was excellent. The service was excellent. Speed of service was very fast and the restaurant was maybe 50% filled. Parking is limited, but don't necessarily let a full front lot deter you. The restaurant is located in a more remote location, so food I'm sure, costs more to get there. With that said, prices seemed appropriate with the quality of food and food cost considered.

I was so excited to try this place and unfortunately walked away entirely disappointed. I basically paid for the atmosphere. The food and service were less than desirable. The service was slow and by the time we got our food it was cold. Definitely overpriced for the quality of the food. I will not be eating here again.

Salmon was ok, shrimp scampi was bland, grits were lumpy. Overall, the food was just mediocre. Sitting by the
river was nice and service was good.
