Georgians are on the low end when it comes to tipping servers.
Driving the news: Tips averaged 18.2% in the fourth quarter of 2025, according to Toast's latest restaurant trends report.
That's the 14th-lowest tip in the U.S. California (17.2%), D.C. (17.5%), Washington state (17.6%) tipped the lowest. The highest was Delaware, at 21.8%.
The big picture: Nationwide, tips at full-service restaurants averaged 19.2% in Q4 2025.
"After a pullback in full-service restaurant tips in Q2 2025, the average has leveled out," Toast's Brian Koerber wrote in the report.
Tips at fast-food joints also held steady at 15.8%.
The fine print: The report is based on data from restaurants using the Toast platform. Cash tips aren't included.
The bottom line:Tipping culture may be under scrutiny, but diners' habits are holding steady.
