Tips for The Varsity
July 20, 2002
Highly Over rated!. The Varsity has some of the nastiest, greasiest food! I don't know why people like it so much. I'd much rather go to Wendy's and spend only $.99 for a good burger than eat here. If you have to eat here, get a hot dog; their hamburgers are gross.

Good fast food. You have to know what to expect when you go to the Varsity. It's the whole experince there. It is good, greasy fast food. That is all it is supposed to be. It's definitely not something you want to eat every day if you plan on living past he age of 40, but it is definitely great fast food.

Believe the Hype. I don't get how people can complain about getting greasy food when they are talking about a fast food burger restaurant. I mean come on people, for what it is, Varsity is EXCELLENT. Burgers, Fries, Hot Dogs - served up really really fast, hot, and taste great. Price is great. Chocolate Shake was sub-par. You sit in High-school desks too - very cool. Worth it if you need something fast and want to try a local flavor rather than McD's or BK.

Tasty Americana. Look, I don't know many people that would claim that the Varsity is any paragon of culinary achievement, but when you're in the mood for some good old grease-laden junk food in an enviroment with character, it's hard to beat the Varsity. Actually, I take back what I said: the onion rings just *may be* a paragon of culinary achievement...

Save time--just drink Crisco. I heard from everyone that I must go to The Varisty whie I was in Atlanta. I went. I will never go back...and emplore you to do not go. It is the greasiest, most disgusting, and sickening food you will ever eat. The parking is awful, the lines are long, and the employees are rude, impatient, and dirty. I'm a huge fan of french fries. The Varsity's were soggy, greasy, and I could tolerate just a few before I threw them away. Don't buy in to the hype about this place......go to McDonald's or Taco Bell......you'll save yourself a lot of time, money, and a stomache ache.

Good n' Greasy. I don't even want to know what's in those hot dogs! However, they are delicious...

What Fun. You've gotta bring all the out-of-towners here for a burger and iced tea. It's huge -- pick a room and hang out with the real folks.
