Well, it's a pub/sandwich style menu, so maybe not the best bet if you are dead set on more of a "nicer dinner" outing, but I love their lamb burger, the trout and the "double pig" sandwich. Good cheese plates and apps too if you just want something light while having a few beers before doing something else.
Very tough to beat a pie and pitcher at Little Italy. My go-to back in school.
I don’t currently follow him. Someone asked why a poster didn’t like him, so I provided some insight into possibly why he wouldn’t be a vent fav.
Yes - but prices are higher than they used to be as someone said above. Quality is still better than what you get in the grocery store for around the same price however.
So then the perpetrators can target the next group, and the next. At what point are they called to account and how, under your scenario?
If there was sexual harassment I hope they get compensated appropriately.
The article was poorly written but they lost me with this sentence.
"The Red & Black spoke with four of the women plaintiffs, all of whom stated the work environment at the restaurant created or worsened mental health issues or dependencies on alcohol, drugs or cigarettes as coping mechanisms."

I'm sure there's a lot more too it but that sounds like a normal restaurant staff to me, especially the young crowd that stays out and parties after the place shuts down at night.
Terribly overrated but I find myself there out of habit. I just don’t confuse it with fine dining.
I’ve put up with this sentiment long enough in this thread and will stay quiet no longer.
Their fried green tomatoes with Vidalia sauce is an all time favorite of mine. I don’t care what anyone says about any of the rest of their food, but those are delicious and this needs to be established.
You don't win the awards Hugh has won, voted on by his peers, without being highly respected by the industry. Everyone has different taste and dining requirements but Hugh has been the most celebrated chef in Athens for years and no one else is close. I eat there everytime I'm in Athens and always enjoy it. Good wine selection, too.
My political views don’t align with Hugh but he does a ton of great work in the community. His book “A New Turn in the South” is my culinary Bible and I’m a huge fan of all of his restaurants. A dinner at Five & Ten amplifies any great weekend in Athens.
The Last Resort was at its pinnacle in 1971 when it served only chips with the beer, and Jimmy Buffett was up on the stage.
Really good cookbook. His collard green recipe (with maple syrup) is outstanding, and the boiled peanut hummus is fusion cooking at its finest.
Too many favorites to name but the Brunswick Stew and Frogmore Stew are Gameday staples for me.
I grew up with Melissa In Five Points, she’s good as gold and certainly wouldn’t tolerate BS.
If you follow sexual harassment cases in Georgia much, you know this case is going nowhere fast. The law does not favor the workers in Federal court in Georgia.
One side of the story.Unreal how awful the owners and managers were.
Second Last Resort lawsuit alleges sexual harassment, invasion of privacy
The harassment filing is the second lawsuit filed by former employees against the restaurant within a two-month period.www.redandblack.com
I’m not a bloody guy but I tried their house bloody last time I went and I really liked theirs.
Unless it’s simply an easy card, like others, to use nowadays? I don’t condone sexual harrassment either but we now live in a society filled with bandwagon jumpers when they smell blood in the water. I just hope this isn’t another one of those situations because we seem to be heading down a path where people are offended by just about anything said and opposing views are no longer acceptable. That’s a scary proposition to me.
Before Last Resort, the “fine dining” options in Athens were DePalmas, Harry Bissett’s, T Bones and Cholly Williams Pinecrest Lodge (“You name it, we fry it!”). When LR opened people freaked out - I remember my girlfriend saying “they have SHRIMP-AND-GRITS!” like it was the most exotic thing ever. Their food doesn’t hold up well compared to their peers these days, but they showed you could make fine dining in Athens viable, so I’ll always appreciate that contribution. Not so much with the sexual harassment though...
It was definitely a step up from the restaurant scene in Athens at the time.

doesn’t seem to be impacting business — there’s about 100 people in line right now
Not condoning management, but were the employees prohibited or prevented from quitting?
No....Melissa has always ran top-notch places.The problem with restaurants in Athens the good ones anyways, is Athens is somewhat of am transient town, young people tend to move around a lot, and when school is not in there isnt enough patrons to support enough long term to stay open, that why you see such a huge turnover in the business, with only a handful surviving long term.
We had dinner last night at Butcher&Vine in 5 Points, forty years ago i sat in the every smalll building eating Pizza when it was Boxcar Pizza,
