The Varsity

"I waited before going to Varsity to let things settle, but I regret to say I will not go back. I love chili dogs, but the one I got had a small amount of very dry chili and very little flavor. Onion rings very, very greasy. The frozen orange drink is the only good thing. Great service at the counter...just wish the food was tasty. Very sad."

"It’s amazing how we have a Varsity in Rome, Georgia. The food is simple and great for its value, and they even passionately say “Whatcha Have”? Also, the service is super quick. My only negative is that they don’t give you enough napkins. Especially since the restaurant is drive-through only at the moment. It’s called the “Greasy V”, and so it’s impossible to wipe down everything with just one napkin. Thus, you should bring some cleaning wipes in preparation. Fun fact - getting two naked dogs plus chilia and cheese on the side is better than getting the Chili Cheese dogs. You get more at a slightly cheaper value."

"We were so excited to have The Varsity in Rome! However, we were sadly disappointed in the quality of the food. Burgers were dry, not seasoned and the smooshed. The bun was flatter than a pancake. I ordered Glorified Bacon Cheeseburgers. It had two very small pieces of shreds of lettuce that were almost invisible in the mayo. Fries were greasy and soggy. No seasoning. Onion rings were a great size, but also greasy and soggy. The cheese dog had very little cheese on it. The Orange Frost and Chocolate shakes were great. The customer service was awesome. Basil was patient and friendly. Hope the quality of the food improves as they smooth out their processes. Wasn’t worth the money spent at this point."

"Was super excited to finally have a Varsity in Rome, but after the first visit I can say that never again will we go back, not even if it was offered for free. The burger looks like it was stepped on before being handed out."

"We came on opening day and got in and out. In less than half an hour! Great job! The bacon double cheeseburger is fantastic!! The cheese is salty and creamy and delicious, as well as the bacon is salty too yum!!! Onion rings are wonderfully seasoned Without being too soggy. Milkshakes are a good consistency to be able to drink through a straw! The orange tastes great like a creamsicle! The peach pie is delicious real chunks of peaches, although for a fried pie could be a bit crunchier for my taste. Overall, great experience and Great food."
