Deer Crashes Taco Mac Atlanta Restaurant, Loses Antler, Shocks Customers (VIDEO)

Diners at a Taco Mac restaurant near Atlanta, Georgia got the shock of their life when a deer came crashing through a window Sunday afternoon.

Caught on video surveillance, the 200 pound deer's visit lasted less than a minute where he eventually followed a server outside the back patio through an open door, reports WYFF 4 News.

Adam Buckner, manager of the Taco Mac in Alpharetta, Georgia told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution the deer crashed into the restaurant at about 3:15 p.m. Sunday and exited the restaurant when a server opened the door to the patio.

"When I got the phone call from my general manager, I thought it was a joke. We're right in the middle of Alpharetta -- right here where Highway 9 and Windward Parkway meet -- and there are no woods or anything like that," Buckner said.

But the deer paid a price, losing an antler during his uninvited visit, reports News 9.

This isn't the first time that an animal has entered a restaurant. Earlier this year, a black bear raided a pizza joint in Canada, devouring a slice of pie before being ushered out the restaurant.

Watch the AP video of the deer's unforgettable flying entrance below:

The deer was probably being chased by dogs. It felt safe going into the taco shop because it knew that tacos don't contain real meat.

What is it with deer anyway? I keep seeing videos of them in bars, convenience stores, bars, etc. Slippery floors are not a deer's friend.

Not to nitpick - but Taco Mac isn't a taco joint. It's a sports bar - mostly burgers and micro brews. OK - carry on. (Oh, and it's not redneck...)

I remember seeing a story about a deer that crashed through a window. It wasn't so lucky. It broke a leg and had to be shot. It could have been a lot worse.

Caption should read: Deer seeks revenge on blood thirsty rednecks who shoot animals for sport.

The animals are obviously hungry lol. Just a joke, but many Americans are and they are being destroyed by this (plan) for the economy and who have been hit by weather disasters that they televise for a day and then you hear nothing else about it. There were just three earthquakes in Oklahoma, not to mention, they were record breaking for that state. This along with two tornadoes ripped through a couple of counties. I have only heard this mentioned on one or two media sources very briefly. This destruction is becoming commonplace. Wake up! The lord IS returning and your hearts need to be prepared. Do not listen to scoffers, in this time.

I'm sure that deer was shocked when instead of his antlers hitting another deers antlers (because he saw his reflection and thought it was another deer) he found himself inside a human store where no other deer have ever ventured.

Poor guy!

Razor-sharp hooves and nasty antlers. Not bloody-thirsty manhunters, but not something you want to mess with when they are trapped or scared. Unless you have a gun.
