What are your favorite things about the scenic Toccoa Riverside Restaurant and Blue Ridge area?
Thanks for this thorough review of the Toccoa Riverside Restaurant complex. Adding the pictures and video allowed me to get a “taste” of the place and was super helpful. Most definitely I will be stopping by there the next time I am in the area. It looks like a wonderful place to spend an extended amount of time eating and enjoying the dining and surroundings.
I do travel to Northern Georgia for business from time to time, and normally there is not much of a chance to see the sights as I would like to. If I make a concerted effort for the right reason, however, it is possible to take in such a local delight found only in that region. All the more reason to make the effort, as this is definitely worth my time! Thanks again!
Hello, Dave! The unique location makes this waterfront restaurant in Blue Ridge a memorable place to have a meal.
Hi Alyce,
Just stumbled upon your review of the Toccoa Riverside Restaurant, it’s like I was there! You’ve painted a vivid picture of the place, making it super tempting to just drop everything and head there for a bite. But here’s a thought: with all the buzz around local and organic food nowadays, does the restaurant jump on that bandwagon too? I mean, it’s one thing to enjoy the scenic view, but pairing that with some farm-fresh goodness would be something else, right?
Thanks for this virtual tour and for keeping us foodies in the loop. Your work is a real treat!
Best,
Makhsud
Hi, Makhsud! The main entree featured on the Toccoa Riverside menu is fresh, local rainbow trout. There are several ways to prepare it, including pecan-crusted, blackened, or lemon pepper.
Enjoy!
