Last Resort Grill
Last Resort Grill is an American restaurant in Athens, Georgia, specializing in southwestern and southern cuisine. The building sits downtown on West Clayton Street, surrounded by shops and lively streets.
The building opened in 1966 as a music club and drew famous performers like Jimmy Buffett. Since 1992 it has operated as a restaurant, with new owners taking over in 2023 to continue the tradition of friendly service and quality food.
The restaurant carries forward the memory of America's music culture from the 1960s. Visitors can still feel the energy of the former music club, which once drew legendary performers and shaped the local arts scene.
The restaurant opens daily and offers lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch. An outdoor patio with trees and picnic tables is available Wednesday through Sunday from 5 p.m., providing a relaxed alternative to indoor dining.
The kitchen uses traditional methods such as open-flame grilling, brining meats, and pickling vegetables. These artisanal techniques give the dishes a particular depth of flavor that sets them apart from mass-production cooking.
