The Varsity

(35 Ratings)
World's largest drive-in!
Whether it's a chili cheese dog, the rings, a Frosted Orange or maybe a fried pie, everyone has their favorites that keep them coming back. In 1928, when Frank Gordy started the Varsity, he set out to consistently serve delicious, quality food that was fun and fast. The Varsity is still committed to doing just this.

eh?

It's good food, but terribly unhealthy if that's important. Also in a very dangerous part of Atlanta. So many workers, they may mess up your order and when your away from the counter there's no pushing past the massive crowd to get there. About 80% African American so not really diverse. Also not really defind as a gay restaurant. Actually don't know what the owners opinion is on gays.

Fun tourist destination, but eat elsewhere

It is worth seeing as the size is impressive, but your local elementary school cafeteria serves better hot dogs and hamburgers. The chili was dry and had a chalky taste? The frozen orange drink was good but not worth seeking out.

Good Food, Fast

The Varsity is a favorite for a reason. You won't impress a date by taking them there, but at least you can get a solid hot dog while you're at it. It feels almost like a high school cafeteria and yes, there is chaos at the counter. But for a burger and onion rings of that caliber, it's totally worth it.
