I love this place but not the best experience. We were sat near the door. There were issues with the kitchen. But overall always great. more

Good, Crowded & Loud 11/13/2011

On game day, there was not surprise that this popular place had a crowd of patrons waiting on a table outside. Fortunately, the weather suited the 30 minute wait for lunch. Once seated, our server was friendly and attentive, though despite our table being well placed, a group of very loud sorority girls near by made conversation a challenge. I enjoyed by south by southwest salad sprinkled with artichoke and banana peppers. The tangy dressing I opted for on the side was the perfect match. I would recommend dining here, though would advise visit at an off peak time and not on game day. more

Always amazing food and service! Jaamy is the best 3/3/2009

My husband and I are regulars. It's our favorite place for brunch, lunch, and dinner. Jaamy, one of the owners, is wonderful! He's always friendly and has a smile more

Breakfast and Brunch With a Blazin' Bloody Mary 8/4/2008

So I?m not much of a breakfast gal, but I love a good midday brunch with light food, friendly conversation, and most importantly, the best bloody mary in town. To satisfy this I really enjoy the Last Resort in downtown Athens. The food is superb! Crab cakes, burgers, steamed asparagus, fresh salads, and the best cheesecake ever are served in a cozy, often crowded set of dining rooms. Yet even when packed the aromas and genuine local feel of the place outweigh the volume or cramped seating. The prices aren?t for the poverty-stricken college kid, but if you love a spicy bloody mary packed with veggies and vodka, this is the place to visit. Parking, as with every downtown location, is generally available; but the beauty of downtown is that everywhere is within walking distance?at least a block or two. The quality of service varies so don?t go if your in a time crunch, but for a leisurely drink and small bite, try it?it?s the bloody best! Pros: best bloody mary and brunch around Cons: often crowded more

Horrible Service, beware!!! 1/21/2008

As usual the food was superb, but unfortunately, Sunday night, the service was quite poor. Going for an early dinner, 5:00 o'clock, my family was seated immediately and our order taken. 40 minutes later, our appetizers had not arrived, not even any bread on the table. When food did appear, we were quite hungry and ate it quickly. Then, as we waited for entrees, we filled up with bread. Finally we asked for our entrees boxed - to go. The manager, ""Jaamy"", was quite rude. No one bothered to even say sorry, and when opening the ""to go"" boxes at home, it was obvious that the portions had been purposely reduced. I am very disappointed. Pros: food Cons: service, and co-owner ""Jaamy"" more

Crab cakes and a place to park 5/23/2007

It can get crowded, so reservations are surly recommended. I ate at the bar. First off? The building and decor was very cozy and the atmosphere was rushed do to eating at the bar. It has an extensive wine list and friendly tender and waiters. I ordered the crab cakes to start and wow. The meat was not lumped, but it still was fabulous. They used a Romulade sauce with a dripping of some red pepper sauce which reminded me of Vietnamese red pepper sauce: very hot. After that, the house salad was bland, They should have used Arugula. For the main course, I had a salmon with a pineapple/mango garnish. It should have had more but it was still quite good. I finished it off with an espresso (I was cringing when he broke out the ?pod? but it was still acceptable). Try the crab cakes , you won?t be disappointed. Pros: crab cakes Cons: none realy more

During my various excursions to Athens, Ga., I often dine at the Last Resort Grill. It offers Southern nouveaux gourmet dishes at reasonable prices, mixed with a laid-back atmosphere. Recommended for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike more
