- Lindy FoustJune 22, 2011I have been going here for years and have yet to have a bad meal. This is my favorite bar and restaurant in Athens, hands down. I recommend Last Resort to anyone looking for great food and fun venue!
Matthew PhillipsMay 13, 2022Fantastic. Entrees were hard to choose from, but the filet with shrimp cake was phenomenal. Sitting by the outside bar while waiting on a table made the wait a pleasure.
Mary KathrynMay 13, 2013Wonderful and quick service despite it being packed (it was Mother's Day). Hostess and server were super friendly. Great dirty martini and southwestern pasta dish with delicious goat cheese! Go there!
Hasn’t disappointed yet & even on game day, prices are affordable for a nicer restaurant. Get there early through. Often big crowds. Meatloaf sandwich is good for lunch. Wife likes fancier options.
Hotel IndigoAugust 14, 2013Featuring the likes of fried green tomatoes and salmon and grits, the Last Resort even stretches to the Atlantic, offering Carolina crab cakes and its own version of a Low Country boil.- Lori MosleyFebruary 22, 2015Make sure park in the right place or the Athens Police will ticket you and have your car towed. Found out the hard way tonight. $140 for towing and $50 ticket. Yay Happy Anniversary to us!
Princess AugustaAugust 25, 2011The Vegetable Patch may be THE best Vegetarian Meal I've ever eaten. The best marinated portobello I've ever eaten and put two mashed potatoes (sweet potato and yukon gold)... Genius.
97.1 The RiverJuly 12, 2013This was one of the first live music bars in downtown Athens. The venue has hosted many music legends like Jimmy Buffet, the B52s, and Leon Redbone.
One of Athens top restaurants! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu! Also, enjoy a drink at the bar.. awesome staff!
Terry GuthrieSeptember 23, 2016Great food and service. I had shrimp and grits, which were excellent. Wife had crab cake Benedict, which she loved.
Anne PeckOctober 26, 2011This is where you go when you feel like eating quiche. Seriously, very consistent pastas, meats, and quiches, with bright side salads. And they have a huge dessert case.
Theresa GormanApril 7, 2017All of it is wonderful. I have yet to be disappointed. The tres leches cake is delicious!!
Mohammed OosmanFebruary 1, 2013Try the praline chicken...had my doubts about ordering it but the combo tastes great, pecans are an excellent addition.
Who'd have thought that goat cheese on a burger with peach BBQ sauce would be this good.
Luke GoddardAugust 24, 2012The crab cake plate for lunch is killer. Also comes with a side salad. Get the homemade Vidalia bacon dressing!- Lori MosleyFebruary 22, 2015Oh my goodness the Gaucho and Praline Chicken was so very good! Phenomenal!
The new lunch burger is absolutely incredible...I order it everytime! The goat cheese and peach BBQ on it are amazing!
Rushton JohnsonFebruary 19, 2013The Spinach Salad is very good! The fried green tomatoes are cut a little thick and not as tender as they could be.
- Theresa GormanAugust 29, 2014Fried green tomato sandwich is wonderful! I'd take a pic, but I ate it all.
Go at lunch time! The menu is somewhat limited, but it's less than half the price and is a great place to meet with friends.
Jeanette KimFebruary 3, 2013Pork hash was great for brunch! Potatoes had texture, eggs could've been a little less salted
David van der MeerSeptember 14, 2011Best food yet & at affordable prices! Had a steak day special n' licked my plate clean! Absolutely magnificent!
David AldridgeFebruary 3, 2012Go early and be prepared to wait - it's always crowded but well worth it.- The fried green tomato sandwich is an absolute must! It's fabulous.
Janice BaldwinMarch 18, 2012One of the best restaurants in Athens. The Pomegranate martinis are awesome!
roseann palmerDecember 29, 2011The spinach salad is great. You can add it to any meal for a little more $.
Эндрю ШеллApril 30, 2013Crowded for Sunday brunch. Worth the wait, at least for the shrimp and grits
Great food, worth the 15-20 minute wait, try the white chocolate cheese cake for dessert
Jordan ChatelainApril 21, 2012The kitchen was slammed and unfortunately was not putting out anything impressive, but manager tried hard to make it right with free cheesecake!
BellaMay 29, 2016French Toast and service great. Restrooms not cleaned :( Fried green tomatoes, not good.

"The challah French Toast special (1/2 order) was fantastic & still 2 pretty big pieces. Suspect regular French Toast would be too. Wife's omelette also very good."

"easily the best restaurant in Athens. the pimiento cheese from the snackies list is some of the best I've ever had. this place would stand right up there with a lot of top notch big city joints"
Watson Jones - 8.2
