Mob rule shouldn't triumph sense and adherence to principles
You hope rules and laws aren't based on opinions? Where do you think they come from? Gilded tablets from the top of a mountain? Of course they come from opinions.
And I'm not the one suggesting that mob rule should triumph over anything. I'm arguing against that. So, save your comment for the person who's actually arguing for mob rule.

Please report back your findings that invalidate my assertion that nobody wants to see what the woman in question was showing. (* outside of a few fetishists, and you can make good money catering to them)
Good. There is nothing wrong with a dose of "shame" and she should understand the reasoning here or she's going to be a lousy mom who raises good for nothing kids who don't know the meaning of the word. And besides, I've known several men who have been denied entry into some restaurants for lack of a tie or sport jacket, it happens and we learn. At least those of us who are capable of learning.
The shirt looks like she took a tee shirt and cut it off with a pair of scissors just before she went into the restaurant. Who goes to a stake house looking like that trashy. I have never seen a crop top like that even on a non pregnant woman be worn to a stake house.

Don't snip my comments when quoting me. It's rude. I also asked you to show a picture of a man with thick, hairy legs, wearing daisy duke shorts, and get their response.
Pink boho maxi skirt paired with a statement crop top with words on it? Guuurrrl, it's 2017. You would have looked less dated in a Mrs. Roper-style caftan...at least you could claim that it was retro, or that you were being ironic.
As for whether or not the restaurant was justified? I guess so. Restaurants can refuse entry for things like not wearing a tie & jacket. However, this place is a glorified diner, inside a strip mall, on the side of a highway, so I have to wonder how strict they've been in the past about their supposed dress code.
Yeah, this lady's outfit is tragic, but I don't see what the big deal would have been to seat and serve her.
I've seen similar or worse inside diners, IHOP, Waffle House, Red Robin, TGIFriday's, etc. etc. Her outfit and her belly would not have interfered at all with my ability to enjoy my dish of warmed-over, pre-packaged frozen, mass produced casual dining slop. She might have caught my eye, at which point I would have done an inner eye roll and said 'Girl, no', to myself. And that would have been that. I wouldn't have been disgusted at the sight of her (that "THING"...really, City Data?), and certainly would not have cared enough, or at all, to complain to management, or to lose my appetite.
I see very little difference between this lady's outfit, and the below.
Okay, you made me laugh out loud with " while her outfit was tragic" ....
If I was her waitress, I would probably have handed her a sweater. But, I last waited tables 30 years ago, and it was at truckstop. We had a super high dress code.
I also don't know why you thought that was a good enough comment to make
I don't know. Where are your complete poll results?
