Last Resort Grill

174/184 W. Clayton Street

This was the most recommended restaurant when we polled, students, parents and alumni.  Last Resort Grill offers a variety of options from fried green tomatoes to seafood and pasta.  While they are known for their lunch and dinner options, don’t forget to check them out for brunch as well!

DePalmas Italian Cafe

401 E. Broad Street

In the mood for italian food?  DePalmas is the place to go.  While a little pricier than some of the restaurants listed thus far, it’s worth it.

Spread at DePalma’s Italian Cafe in Downtown Athens, GA. Big thanks to David Cappi, Owner and Kelsey Lewis, Front of House Manager for coordinating this shoot and assuring I left with a taste. I had the Chicken Sausage Tortellini. Really delicious! #italianfood #pasta #athensga #athensgadining #athensgafood #foodstagram #foodspotting
