We were visiting from out of town and the concierge at the hotel recommended Last Resort Grill. I can honestly say I can't think of a negative thing to say. Our waiter, Aaron, was beyond fabulous, we are pretty sure he was reading our minds. There wasn't a bite of food on the table we didn't enjoy. My partner ordered the hanger steak and it was spot on cooked to order. The desserts were off the chain! They don't take reservations because they are worth the wait. Just enjoy a cocktail while you are waiting, they have an indoor and outdoor bar. If we are back in the area we will definitely return!

Great service and a great meal. Grabbing a drink and sitting outside before the meal was nice. The food was excellent, but make sure to save room for dessert. The fried green tomatoes was delicious. Stuffed pork tenderloin was unbelievable flavor and unique dish.

Service was great, we sat outside on the covered patio and had Jackson who was very wonderful. Food was good, the special soup of the day roasted pepper tomato bisque was wonderful. Biggest issue was the 3.5% surprise service charge on the bill. Not sure if this is an Athens thing? Would still recommend just be prepared for it.

Great food.. nice people.. only complaint is long waits for table at times even with plenty of empty tables. So maybe short staffed.

Walked in as a solo diner (traveling for work) and was immediately greeted by a kind and attentive host and shown to a nice table by the windows. Within just a moment or two my server greeted me and I was set up with water and an introduction to the menu. That set the tone for consistent, quality service without it being overbearing. The food was delicious. I got the hanger steak and would absolutely recommend it. Perfect portion size for a hearty meal that you don't have to box up and carry around for the rest of the night. Loved that they also had NA beer options!

The Last Resort is an Athens favorite. No reservations are taken, so getting there early is key! We arrived before opening and there was already a line formed outside! The salmon and grits were incredible!

Very good food and nice presentations. We enjoyed the ambiance too. The person who served us was also good. The only downside, and the reason for giving 4 stars instead of 5, was the restrooms. They were very unclean. However, the food and everything else were awesome.

Love the clean lines with the exposed brick and some exposed wood beams! Food was very good and worth the cost. I would more realistically place the cost at $40-75 per person. Steaks were prepared perfectly. Being able to mix and match sides was helpful if you have dietary concerns.

Highly recommend, prices are fair for what you get. Interesting and excellent flavor pairings in dishes I tried. Great service too.
