7/10. Solid & fast.
Placed the order, was talking to the phone and about to sit down, and my order was ready. Lol The burger was decent and meaty, thank god, not like that fake McD stuff, and the bun was chewy but not in a bad way. Onions ring was a bit salty. The tables were clean and the whole restaurant is pretty clean.. Honestly, it’s a great, air-conditioned refuge from the brutal Georgia heat—which might explain why the service was a little cool and mild...read full review
Yum!
I love the Varsity. Love their chili dogs, chili steak burgers and a Frosted Orange with a fried peach pie.

The Varsity in Atlanta and Athens is a classic spot for chili dogs, slaw dogs, French fries, and onion rings. Customers can enjoy a sweet treat with the Frosted Orange. Many love the chili cheeseburger and the chili dog, especially with chopped onions for added flavor. While some miss the old vibe and experienced staff, others appreciate the quick service and the great quality of food. However, prices have soared over the years, making it less of a cheap date option. Recent changes due to the pandemic have affected the atmosphere and pricing, with occasional order mix-ups. Customers have praised the friendly and helpful staff and the outstanding service from Sharel. Even though the restaurant is quieter compared to the downtown location, this Varsity outpost offers the same great food and a clean, comfortable dining experience. There is plenty of seating and parking, which makes it convenient, but concerns have been raised about unsanitary food handling practices. Despite this, many locals still enjoy visiting for their fast food fix once or twice a year.
