Any suggestions for great places to eat in Athens, GA?

Don't mean to follow you around, but again, we just moved here last July and have tried several places.
Porterhouse for steak is the best we've had.
Last Resort is one of the best restaurants I have EVER eaten in, consistently good food for lunch or dinner.
East-West Bistro is great, a little more contemporary.
La Parilla is awesome authentic Mexican food, and there are two locations.
We also love going to Speakeasy (downtown) when we have someone to watch the kiddos. DePalma's is good, as is Transmetropolitan.
Truly, we have been very impressed with the food -- biggest disappointment has obviously been in the cajun food market. A lot of people will recommend Harry Bissett's New Orleans restaurant, though we have not tried it in attempts to try the "local" stuff a bit more. I am sure I am leaving some out, but that should be a start.

5 Guys Burgers for lunch! Trust me!

Oh yes, absolutely add Five Guys to the list. Especially if you had a rough night on the town the night before.

Harry Bissetts downtown beats the new location. Best sports bar type is WOW wings in Five Points, lots of room, screens and kinda new. Also in Five Points is the Five and Ten for $20-$30 entree food. Basil Press downtown is good upscale but is closed for the summer. Try Loco's for sandwich and beer. DrEdge did a good job with his assessment.

Try Loco's
I was waiting to see if anyone would mention Loco's. A good friend, who also happens to be cousins with my wife, is one of the two guys that started Loco's. Athens Tiger,
