The Varsity is like something out of Happy Days but without the fake fifties kitsch. This is THE place in Athens to grab a burger, fries or hot dog. Slaw dogs, chili dogs and glorified bacon cheeseburgers are not healthy by any means. But it's a fun place to bring the kids (TVs showing classic cartoons) or out of town visitors when you need a grease fix.
not the healthiest food for you but definetely good every now and then
What'll ya have?! A chili dog all the way, onion rings and a frosted orange! Mmmmmm
