“Fresh trout, wonderful steaks, fried oysters, and a terrific selection of salads and sides make this a long-standing tradition in the mountains of north Georgia.”
“Our Pooch Patio and River Rest areas are dog friendly! Paddle a canoe down the river and plan your lunch or dinner stop with us.”
And while the restaurant sounds picturesque and inviting, dogs are the only small creatures they’re friendly towards.
While Toccoa has a kids menu, it also boasts an “adult surcharge” described as:
“For adults unable to parent”

Redditors had quite a bit to say about the restaurant and their menu:
“That formatting is painful.” - 0MEGAP0RK
“but...there's no actual amount listed.” - dysfunctionalpress
“‘sillybeans’” - Deathwatch30
“Extra charge for not using cash? 20% for separate checks and using the birthday menu? Yeah f*ck this place” - NowieTends
”Passive-aggressive declarations where they really don't belong always trigger a bit of sympathetic embarrassment for me.”
“Actual adults running a business decided to write this insipid sh*t on something they are going to hand to everyone who walks in the door. Amazing.” - Haulie
“The number of red flags on this menu, I'd just go ahead and say no thanks.”
“I mean, the parenting thing is one bit, but if they can't get their sh*t together enough to deal with setting a price that deals with their credit card fees, and their solution is to show the cheap price and add a surcharge?”
“If that's the case, I don't have a lot of faith in the quality of their supply lines, or in the rigor of their kitchen safety procedures.” - XenoRyet
Redditor PowerUpPump took the liberty of finding specific reviews from actual patrons:
“Who reads this garbage and doesn't immediately think the restaurant is trash?”
“From another comment: Google the restaurant name, it's listed in the wifi section on the bottom on OPs picture. Here are some of the reviews:”
“1.”
“The owner came out and told me he was adding $50 to my bill because of my children’s behavior."
"My kids watched a tablet until the food arrived, ate their food and my wife took them outside while I waited and paid the bill.”
“Pretty sure the owner is doing drugs in the back. Disappointed by the experience.”
“2.”
“If you have children, absolutely avoid this place at all costs."
"Holy moly - the most disrespectful owner made a huge scene in front of the entire restaurant because our children were ‘running through the restaurant’ - they were down by the river..”
“we were told we need to ‘go to Burger King and Walmart’ and that we were bad parents. They have a $50 surcharge for ‘bad children’.”
“We were a group of 21 and our server was AMAZING and was overly apologetic. Terrible business practice, we will never be back.”
“3.”
“Don’t go if you have children. We were 3 adults, 2 children and our 4mo baby and since we entered to the place they gave us a bad look.”
“Later my wife was rocking the baby (not crying, just to make him sleep) and this ‘manager’ told her that you don’t do that in a fancy restaurant (of course this is not a fancy restaurant) and later moved our stroller in a bad way.”
“Food is not good either. Do yourself a favor a go somewhere else.”
“It's kind of insane/funny that the dude actually charges people for that.”
Looks like this surcharge may cost them some customers.
