Gameday, Christmas Eve 2023, on the way to see the Falcons play the Colts. I decided to stop and eat here instead of eating at the Benz during the game. First time visiting because I heard of the history with this establishment. The service was extremely fast, with so many different people available to take your order. Clean restaurant, all the staff was very friendly and accommodating. In the photos you will see combos number 1 (Chilli Dog with onion rings) and 3 (Triple bacon cheese burger with fries). Great food and you get a sizeable portion. Next time I am in the area I plan on stopping to get a to go order because my food was that good!

An Atlanta icon. The atmosphere is quite nostalgic. The food is good enough, but definitely the pictures don't match the end product. The Orange drink was very tasty.

We stopped here because it was close to an event. I needed a simple burger joint for my boys and that's what we got. Nothing fancy here. Everything was slightly overcooked, the place looks like a high school cafeteria...i would go back but it was crowded so people clearly love it

Before coming here, I was told, "The food isn't great, but you have to go. I's worth the experience." That's exactly how I would describe it. It's set up like a middle school cafeteria. If it's busy and you aren't one of the cool kids or don't have friends, it might be hard to find a seat. I can definitely see this place being a good stop after a game.

Is there really anything better than the experience and atmosphere of the Varsity? 😍 Perfect location by the GT campus, and the food is good and this location has been around for years. Don't forget to try the Frosted Orange, it's one of the best things they offer. The French fries are amazing as well. It's never a letdown when eating at the Varisty.

The Varsity is a really cool piece of Atlanta history that’s still serving up some good food. We got the chili dog, double cheeseburger, fries, rings, and a peach pie. All the food was good, but it was the history and atmosphere that really made it a great experience!

The Varsity is a classic American hotdog eatery. It's worth eating here once for the nostalgic ambiance.

Visiting from out of town. They have plenty of parking, with a one hour limit. The initial lines took a bit of time, and the area where you order is very loud. It was incredibly difficult to hear the cashier. However, the food was delicious and not bad pricing-wise. The frozen orange was stellar. The onion rings were a little soggy but they had a good flavor. Overall a good experience and I'm glad we got to try it!

The Varsity is a crowded and loud spot to stop for a delicious hot dog. Overall I am glad I gave it a try! But unless you're going during a very slow period of the day, expect a bit of chaos. The food was great and the staff was very fast, considering how busy it was! Only real complaint is that our onion rings were pretty soggy.

A really cool place. It was packed when we got there. Heard about this place for a long time and finally made it here. I guess it's a huge spot for GT fans because the place was full of them getting ready for the game. The fries and onion rings were great and enjoyed the burgers. The staff was great and did a good job with all of the people there. Can definitely see why it's been here almost 100 years
