    Hey Sean! I have in fact been there. It was right before i went to the Coke museum. I will never forget hearing the "What'll you have? What'll you have? What'll you have?" in person. It was a great experience, the food was amazing! Now, I just about made myself sick because I ate so much but it was dang good.

      What'll have? What'll have? I hope you had a dog or burger. Chicken fingers are not bad. Question is... Fries or rings? Varsity Orange or regular soda? BTW coke museum is very interesting. Do NOT try the Beverley, gross! The history tour is very interesting.

    North Jersey has a lot of Texas Weiner restaurants. Hot Grill in Clifton, NJ is my family's favorite place.A Texas Weiner is a chili dog. Scranton, PA has two places to go to eat. They are related to each other. Coney Island of Scranton (the original family restaurant ) and Coney Island Lunch.

    so my friends and I decided to drive down to Daytona the summer after we graduated HS and driving along I-75 we saw a HUGE VARSITY, so we stopped. MINDS BLOWN!!! we were coming from Toledo and these dogs beat Rudys and Ideal for sure. Since then, any time Im in ATL I go, which is usually once every couple of years. There is a location in the airport that makes it easy for layovers, too.

      Bold statements. Shots fired from the Midwest! I never had Rudy's but from what I hear that a serious review. I am glad you found a go to place in the south. Thanks for the airport tip! Have you made Daytona your go to vacay place? Florida beats cold & snowy Ohio any day.

    I live in Atlanta and work right next to the Varsity, it lives off nostalgia. The hot dog and hamburger quality is average at best. The best things are the onion rings and the Frosted Orange, the Fanta isn’t really comparable.

    The Varsity was a childhood staple, anytime we'd go to a Braves or a field trip to Atlanta we'd stop there. As an adult - its super fine. I can't remember the last time anyone recommended it, outside of someone wanting to try it for the first time. 2 Chili dogs, Onion Rings and a frosted Orange do slap tho.

    Onion rings smothered in chili, or dipped in a cheese sauce is legit.

      Clam Chowder? Do we have a northeasterner in the mix? Fries and especially rings are a brilliant vehicle for pretty much any dip. No, you are not a deviant for dipping ketchup or mixing ranch! I dipped fries in barley soup or gravy. Just as long as you didn't say Mayo. I am sure I am triggering people. Cheap and tasty, always taste better! 😋

    I love The Varsity. I used to go to Atlanta once a year for a conference (pre-Covid and all conferences moving online forever) and would go ape on a bunch of chili cheese dogs and chili slaw dogs. My post-conference expense reports were definitely an oddity when everyone else was reporting fancy dinners on the company dime and I just had, like, six stops for hot dogs.

    I have had the Varsity many times, It's good but ! we have a Zesto's (about 4 of them) also and their Foot long chili/slaw dog are the best. If you check out the Varsity you also need to check out Zesto and let us know which on you like. I think you would love Zesto.
