We visited this grill as recommended by someone. To begin with this is a young town due to it being college age crowd. . The servers were of like age. I witnessed a couple drinking glasses of wine on the job, which I felt was strange. The menu is small and somewhat different. After ordering the service was slow and... More

The lady at the front desk of our hotel recommended the Last Resort so we checked out the reviews and thought it looked good. The atmosphere was good and the place was packed. My favorite thing of the night was the potato cake - yummy! If you go, don't miss that! I ordered the praline chicken and my husband had... More

We have eaten at Last Resort Grill many times over the past 14 years. The food is consistently good and the service is always efficient and friendly. Save room for dessert. The cakes from Cecelia's Bakery are fabulous. You can't go wrong for lunch or dinner at Last Resort.

Only reason this doesn't get a 5-star rating is that it's SO crowded and loud - like hard to hear person across from you loud. But food is out of this world, and service was very helpful, fun and friendly. Our server, though young, was very patient with my older parents. Try to save room for stunning array of cheesecake...

We went for lunch and got there just as they opened, which was a good thing because the restaurant got crowded quickly. We were served immediately and with attention throughout our meal, even when it got busy. We enjoyed the unique and fresh foods. Our only disappointment was that the "cup" of soup was very small, though it was tasty.... More

We were looking for a light lunch. I had the crab cakes and they were great. The prices were very affordable and all the food looked great, if we were spending more time in Athens we would have been back.

Food is always excellent and owner/manager is almost always on site being sure customers are being treated right and that food is being prepared correctly. If you do not get there around opening at 5 to 5:30 p.m. you will be standing in line. Sad thing is that they do not take reservations, but why should they when they are... More

A busy place in downtown Athens, so you may have to wait, but you'll probably think it was worth the wait. A nice variety of options. My shrimp and grits tasted great, and my UGA student daughter's salmon was tasty too.

This has been my favorite restaurant for years! The staff is well trained and always ready to help. The athmosphere is lively and hip. The food is just fantastic! And most importantly the prices are the most reasonable in town! LOVE IT!

I had good food and great service here last night, despite the main dining room being dominated by a table of about 25. We had the potato pancake appetizer - ok, but not wow, and rather greasy. Side dinner salads - Bacon-Vidalia onion dressing was very good, but salad was only a pile of lettuce. Entrees were the high-point. I... More
