The Varsity - Atlanta

Old School Hamburger and Hot Dog Shop. Except to be a cashless restaurant, like to come back in time. Had the chili cheese hamburgers and hot dog plus onion rings, all of which were good. Nothing imagination and will return next time I stay close to Georgia Tech.

An Atlanta staple that often gets a bad rep from locals because the burgers are nothing special. Everything is really inexpensive though and if you go on a weekday afternoon there won’t be any lines or hoards of people. The workers are friendly and the burgers are good enough.

I love this Atlanta Institution. It’s a must for me when in town. I normally get the same thing the 1 2 chili dogs with mustard, fresh French fries and the Diet Coke. It’s a great place to go if you want to feel the nostalgia of an old school drive inn.

What a place! The unique charm that only a place of 50+ years can produce. It’s beauty is the simplicity of it. Hamburgers , hot dogs, onion rings, and fries. And it hasn’t changed since my first visit 20+ years ago except they don’t take cash now that’s probably different. Nestled between Atlanta downtown and the Georgia Tech campus, I love this spot. Make sure you learn the lingo before you order I’m a C Dog All The Way. Enjoy!!

We love The Varsity! It’s our favorite local haunt when visiting Atlanta from overseas. No frills menu but that is what makes it so good. Staff is super friendly. Would highly recommend to add this place to your list of places to eat!!
