The Varsity

Worst burger and onion rings! The shake was good but tastes just like a frosty from Wendy’s.

The slaw dog is really good here, as is the chili dog. Actually, I’m fairly certain all their dogs are good. Always have to get an Orange Julius too.

Awesome awesome awesome the food is great and the price is right!!!
Frosted Orange drink well worth it, location is easy to access.

Classic place for ajyone visiting Georgia. Its not the original, but if this is as far south as you are going make the stop.

The varsity is honestly disgusting. I hate giving one star reviews, but my whole family has gotten food poisoning multiple times. The food is covered in grease, and the portions are tiny for a big cost. I have no idea why it’s so famous– all the locations are the same. Unless you really love the chance of food poisoning, a crowded and loud atmosphere and over paying for your food, this is not the place for you

Service at the Kennesaw location has really gone down hill. Today at 11:30am on a Saturday, they had only one person the counter and about twelve customers waiting. There were no onion rings ready yet. Had to wait on those. The man at the counter was extremely rude. The size of the hamburger was really small for price. They need new owners or management. The poor service has been going on for some time. I will not go back to that location.

It’s popular, but I don’t know why. The chili dogs taste like lower quality meats and very greasy. Not the best tasting chili sauce either. Onion rings– greasy.

The varsity downtown what a great place to have a chili cheese dog and chili cheeseburger love it every time I go to Atlanta I have to stop and have lunch me and the family loves it

For price of one plain dog here I can buy 1 n ½ package from store. Priced way to high for what you get. Should have just kept the original location downtown has the one n only. I won’t be back.

The Varsity is not the place it used to be. It’s not nearly the way it was. The prices are extremely high. The hamburgers are overcooked. For those of us who must use something other than sugar in our ice tea these days they only offer sweet n low.
The French fries and the fried pies are still great but that’s about all there is.
I visited their food truck several months ago and it was horrible. They had pre cooked hamburgers that were old and overdone, frozen french fries from the grocery store, no fountain drinks at all and no iced tea just Coca Cola products in cans.
There are plenty of other places to go for hamburgers that are better and cost a lot less. It’s too bad the Varsity experience has just disappeared.

Not a bad place to go — same Varsity food as the one downtown but no carhops makes it just another fast food joint.

A typical American-​style fast food place of the elder people and kids! Don’t be fooled by the pictures, the food served really small size and portion. Hotdog is too salty.

Glad I went to the original Varsity first. This place doesn’t melt the cheese like the real Varsity does. Service was good and the dogs were still pretty darn amazing.
The location on Unilocal for this restaurant is incorrect.

Not sure what all the hype was about. To me, it was just another fast food join.
I ordered a naked dog with onion rings. Nothing really to complain about but nothing really to rave about.
Their hot dogs aren’t very big.
The best thing about this place… I guess the prices.

Are You Kidding Me? This place is terrible! The fries taste like cardboard, The Hot Dogs don’t come close to a Nathans Hot Dog. Aw man this place absolutely sucks, seriously!
Once you taste those cardboard fries youd know what I mean. NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT THE VARSITY. I was highly pissed wasting my money on this crap. Overpriced food taste like garbage. Im still pissed about my experience at The Varsity. They Suck. All those damn employees and they suck. Fire Em all shut down that store and replace it with a Nathan’s Hot Dog joint!

IT IS THE VARSITY!!!
Been around from the main like all who were kids and went here.
You know what this is and they deliver — from the naked dogs, chili, onion rings, FO and so on… It’s the place you go when you want to get that memory every couple of weeks or reward/​bribe kids for the report card or cleaning out the gutters…
This is the place me and other friends first went to after being a year on deployment overseas in 90 – 91 and we were not alone with the main room downtown looking like a PX with the number of uniforms from every branch.
Stupidity about ketchup or petty things don’t matter against the rest, you know every taste and they remain the same every time and they do deliver.

Double chili burgers are pretty good; fills the need for greasy, salty food cravings. Fries are good only when they are freshly cooked — as in just out of the fryers fresh. Chili dogs are meh — extra mustard and ketchup makes the edible. I’ll stick to Brandi’s for chili dogs.
This Varsity location is ok. For some weird reason, the Varsity food taste better at the downtown location.

I came here for a late night dinner with my cousin and her friends. This is a fast food type joint. Apparently, this place is known for their chili hot dogs/​burgers. It was delicious!!! Chili with french fries were awesome. As much of a fast food place this is, I cannot wait to go back for some of that delicious food again. :P ENJOY!

I am going to ignore other reviews and take this place with a grain of salt. They don’t market themselves as some upscale fast food chain. No way. You can get an orange freezee and a hamburger for a few bucks. The Varsity (not necessarily this location) is a historical landmark to Atlanta and Georgia. Take it as it is. Anything on the menu will crush your craving for old style drive-​in foods: chili dogs, chocolate shakes, onion rings. And you can get a free hat. Nice.

I stop by this location when I’m in the area, just for a chili dog and a fried peach pie! The Varsity is one of the places that I can actually eat a chili dog from, and they never let me down.
The service is fast and friendly.
The fried pies are great also but the peach is my favorite by far.
