The Varsity Kennesaw — Restaurant in Georgia

Not sure how anyone would eat at the varsity and expect anything but the varsity. In this instance you can’t rate a place on what it isn’t. It isn’t the best burger you’ve ever eaten but it will be the best varsity burger you’ve ever eaten. I say that because 30+ years after I ate my first varsity they still deliver. Of course the fry’s are a little limp, they aren’t processed crap…they are fresh potatoes. The onion rings are battered there on the spot. Combo numbers shouldn’t be on the menu but I see them. I hate that the old school crowd to the front ordering doesn’t exist anymore. You used to have to fight your way to the front and try to make eye contact with someone behind the counter if you ever hoped to eat. In some cases you’d get to the front and realize you were in the fry and ring only line. I left this review for the north ave original location but I have eaten at this satellite location and I thought it properly represented the V in a smaller less hectic package ….with that said most of the rest of my rant against bad V reviews is left below….Eat here if you’re visiting but understand what it is. It is The V! I’m partial to a couple of dogs (they should come with chili unless you ask for them naked), cheese stake (because I liked they way they smash them) and rings. Always ask for a side (which should mean some chopped onions in a little piece of wax paper) and don’t skip the frosted O or PC on...

I have long said The Varsity is to American food what Taco Bell is to Mexican Food. It's junk food.... But it is ohhhhhhh so good. This location on this day missed the mark. Let me start by saying; The Varsity is an Atlanta institution.... Yummy junk food with quick expedient service provided by a team of employees who are abrupt but not completely unkind. This location had dry gross food served by people who gave exactly zero ducks that they had any customers at all. Honestly I am pretty sure I took that man away from something far more important by placing my order... Also... If "my pleasure" is a required response to "thank you" at Chick fil a.... "what'll ya have?" should be the required greeting at The Varsity.... This dude just stared at me. Their shake machine was empty, but they just sent me out without the shake and said they'd get it... I finished almost my whole meal with no drink... I really could have ordered something else. I asked for onions for my chili dog 6 times when ordering... He just ignored me. The whole experience was awful and not in the way you expect The Varsity to be awful. We almost exclusively go to The Varsity with our out of town guests (again an institution) we'll just trek downtown next time... You clearly can't replace...

My husband and I dined in for an early dinner and it was the worst service I have ever had. We order the same thing every time and today the person working the cash register was completely rude and was purposefully not understanding what our order was even though we explained it thoroughly many times. Then we waited for our food and had to keep reminding them for items we ordered - when we asked for our last drink the people at the registers started arguing with us relentlessly and rolling their eyes at us when we were just trying to clarify and repeat our order because they kept ignoring us. The manager, I assume, had to walk over and announce that even she heard our order from the other side of the bar and seemed irritated that the other employees were giving us such a hard time. I was almost in tears at the end of it just from shock that these people working were so rude to us and practically talking to us as if we were stupid. We felt at one point that it seemed like the person taking our order just wanted us to leave - we had no idea what we had even done wrong. I have gone to this location since I was a kid but unfortunately after this experience I don’t feel like we will be back or suggest...
