Great tasting food and a wide variety of choices. Excellent service, with the owner on premises and visits his customers. I give this establishment an A+. 5 stars all the way! Ambiance is like you have sit down to eat at your own home. It's great. I tell you! Prices are just right for everyone to enjoy. My church Memorial United Methodist goes there often. Also it is a nice clean restaurant. read more

I love this place! I've eaten here many times and have never been disappointed. Oyster stew is always so good. I've about had everything on menu and have loved it all. Service is always great and ambiance great too. read more

great variety of food choices! A true home town gathering place! we were there recently and had the fish! it was wonderful. The owner was present and walked around greeting customers! We have had the oyster soup, vegetable soup as well as the daily specials with veggies. You enter through the Party House! Oh my! I cannot say enough about the desserts! Highly recommend! read more

The food and amount of it is perfect. It can get busy with it being small so be patient but combined with the bakery that's included it's one of my favorite spots. read more

The tenders are delicious. However, in the restaurant, when trying to figure how to order what I wanted, I was (correctly) told the plate comes with 3 tenders. When I called to report that I did not receive the amount I ordered, I was told (incorrectly) it comes with 2 or 3 depending on the size. The manager agreed to a resolution but the menu itself reads that 3 tenders come with it. So the correct info should be reviewed with all staff -or- the menu wording needs to be updated. read more

Food is great. i wish they would start serving meals everyday and open on Sunday I remember in the past they did and all of their meals were great read more

I had the ribs, they were awful. Extremely chewy and no flavor. There were shells in the oyster stew but the manager didn't seem to care. I don't normally complain about food but this turned my stomach. Won't be going back. read more

Excellent ham club sandwich with French fries. Great value for the serving size of the meal.

Food has really been better in the past got sick after eating it it just isn't the same as it once was

No one including the owner had on a mask and social distancing was not observed. Have been coming here for years, food is still good but come at come at your own risk. read more

What a cool, multifaceted place, small BBQ/Sandwich joint on the left side, an excellent bakery on the right side. The service in the BBQ area is fast food style, order and pay at the counter, and grab a seat to wait. Time for orders out of the kitchen is pretty good. We tried a Chopped BBQ sandwich with regular slaw, and a Hot Dog, with M,C, & O. The BBQ here is solid, but probably not the very best in the area, but definitely worth a stop. The Hot Dog was outstanding, the chili meaty & full of flavor. I would order both again, probably 2 dogs. The bakery side is amazing - great looking pastries, huge variety, nice service. We tried the Chocolate Eclairs, Oatmeal Cookies, and excellent Pound Cake. The Chocolate Eclairs were super, as well, but the Oatmeal Cookies were a disappointment. Next time through (and there will be a next time) we'll try the Cream Horns, they looked fantastic. Great little place, with a variety of great food options. read more

See all

I came in here by chance, I was visiting the bakery next door and saw how busy the restaurant was so I decided to see "why" was there traffic here. Surprised they food is very good, a nice alternative to McDonald's or Wendy's plus you can get a sinful dessert. They sell cake slices from the next door bakery. read more

I stopped here on a local recommendation from a produce stand that provides their goods to the restaurant. Immediately apparent was the cleanlieniss of this small mom and pop establishment. A bit cluttered but definitely organized chaos. As I walked in thru the bakery section my eyes were drawn to the many pastries, cakes and cupcakes. Yum. The waitresses were all friendly and efficient. The menu was extensive for a place this size...everything from burgers and dogs to BBQ and chicken. Today I was in a burger mood. So I orderd the usual... cheese, mustard, ketchup and homemade chili. The tea was strong and sweet and the burger was cooked to perfection. The chili was mild but reasonably good. The meat could have used a bit more seasoning. I had to try the sauces. 1st was Sweet Daddys chicken and rib sauce... good flavor, a little bit of bite provided by habaneros and coarse black pepper I do believe...not to sweet...I would say 4 out of 5 on this sauce. The second offering was JPs BBQ sauce. Sweet and middle of the road spicy. Now please keep in mind I am a die hard eastern NC, vinegar loving, rouge hat wearing guy... but for a Lexington style sauce it was good. I would definitely come back and try more of their food. Next time the BBQ! RHG read more

This is a perfect hometown BBQ spot with friendly service! As a bonus they even have a bakery that shares the space. read more

They would not replace my wrap because I left the restaurant. First of all you have to cut it to see it has tomatoes on it. I live 15 minutes away. They wanted me to bring it back when they made the mistake. So bad service. read more

Had lunch today with my Dad and it was delicious! I got the Oyster plate and let me tell you, if you love Oysters, this is for you. They are fried oysters but not like you've probably had, because you can tell they are fresh oysters. They taste like oysters and they are big! My Dad got the Shrimp salad with grilled shrimp and he thought it was amazing and cleaned his plate. The service was exceptional. You just can't go wrong here. read more

The server was overwhelmed. Running orders, Taking orders and bussing all the tables by herself. 3 other girls talking and eating behind the counter. I went to the counter, asked for a few condiments. This was a disappointing experience. Which is surprising to me. Usually service and food is much better than this. The owner I heard the server tell a customer is on vacation. When the cats away the mice will play, it seems. read more

My wife and I took our granddaughter and her husband for lunch to celebrate his birthday. It was the first time I had eaten there. We arrived around 1200, and the dining room was crowded with happy diners. However, a table quickly opened. I ordered the oyster Po' Boy sandwich with fried onion rings, homemade coleslaw, and homemade tartar sauce. My wife had the flounder sandwich. The quality of the food was impressive. The seafood was fresh and cooked to perfection, and the homemade coleslaw and tartar sauce were among the best I have ever eaten. Patrons have to walk by the bakery to get to the dining area. Although we did not partake of any baked goods, I was certainly tempted to do so. Perhaps next time. read more

We arrived at lunch time on a Saturday and was surprised by the amount of fresh baked goods. There were lots of cookies, cupcakes and cakes as well as ice cream on display. We sat at a table and got I got a half rack of ribs. The were almost falling of the bone, but not quite, with a little bit of bite remaining. This is exactly the way you want them. Tender, but not falling apart. They were sauced in a tomato vinegar sauce with a hint of molasses. The cole slaw was good, but the fried squash was awesome. That's a side you don't see often and they do it right. My friend's vanilla shake and grilled cheese were very good also. The service was very friendly. I highly recommend. read more

No matter how "good" the food is sometimes, the customer service here ruins it all. The ladies that work here are always rude every single time I visit. I've been told the same from all of my coworkers who used to (we no longer give them out business) eat there and family and friends who used to visit as well. Before long this place will be losing lots of its business if it doesn't change the staff it has to more appreciative people. read more

As someone who has eaten here for my entire life- no masks on any staff or attempts at social distancing in the midst of COVID. If I can't trust them to follow those standards, I don't trust that food is being handled sanitation either. Won't be back. read more

Small American restaurant but, BIG on taste and quality!!!!! This place is amazing.... from their burgers, hot-dogs, all the way to their wings!!!! Definitely a favorite of mine!!!! read more

So delicious!! My favorite is their Shrimp Platter! I get half grilled & half fried! =) read more

Fieldhouse BBQ - Amazing shrimp dinner! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Kannapolis, North Carolina

Let's just say Great food and the service is top notch. Small town feel and makes you feel welcome and care about you! Love this place!

Brilliant BBQ joint. And when they say ULTIMATE BLT they mean it. Family had Ultimate BLT, BBQ Sandwhich, Deluxe Burger and we loved it. Service was tentative and kept drinks refilled. It's a small BBQ Joint and as most southern BBQ places it'd a seat yoirself, so be ready to wait a few for a table to empty out. We went at lunch and waited o ly 5 minutes... HIGHLY recommend Varsity to others! read more

A ton of delicious food for a very cheap price. Love stopping here on my way home from work!

Stopped in and got the jumbo BBQ sandwich fries and mac n cheese. Everything was fantastic! The food, service, and ice cream. For dessert I got a cookies n cream shake that was amazing! Highly recommended. read more

Fieldhouse BBQ - Both of our giant meals! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Kannapolis, North Carolina

Love this place! Fish is purchased locally and is so good! My husband always gets the Varsity Deluxe burger. You can't go wrong with anything you order. Grilled chicken salad is great, fried squash, country style steak on certain days. We go at least once a week and it's always busy. They also have cherry lemon sundrop! Ice cream and the best cakes next door as well! read more

Had a bad dinner experience here. I had heard it was "where the locals eat" and was excited to give it a try. The management must have had an off night (hopefully) because the staff of two pre-teen/teenage waitresses was stressed to the max and simply not able to adequately service the volume of customers that evening. It was a full house, granted, this is a very small, too-tightly packed dining space. Chairs and tables were rickety and not just in that charming nostalgic way-- closer to causing someone to fall due to a flimsy chair. All of this I was willing to overlook until our food arrived and it was mediocre at best. Certainly not worth the price and frustration of having to ask the wait staff repeatedly for something as simple as a bottle of ketchup. What bothered me perhaps the most was not my own poor experience, but that a table of women were left to seat themselves and procure menus on their own only to have to wait an inordinate amount of time to even have their drink order taken while it appeared that other tables of what may have been locals received what seemed to be preferential treatment. I'm from a small NC town myself and prize local establishments like this, but I hold them to the same standard that I would for any establishment serving the public; to treat all customers with respect and hospitality. After all, as a business owner, wouldn't you want those who are new to the area and to your restaurant to choose to become regulars? Again, perhaps all involved were just having an off-night. If I do try this place again, I will try going at a less busy hour and hope for a better experience. read more

Just went there, no one wearing a mask. 5 or 6 20 ish young ladies. When I asked why, I was told they all have a medical condition. If you wish to be safe, eat somewhere else. If they font care to protect you from the pandemic, hoe much do you think they care about food safety? read more

One of my favorite places in the world! Great hometown decor (especially if you like high school sports). Chicken tenders and BBQ are some of the best I have ever eaten. Attached is a great bakery you can access when Varsity is open even if the bakery is closed. Prices are extremely reasonable for the amount of food you get. Large BBQ sandwich is almost enough for two Come hungry and you won't be disappointed. read more

Nice little place that gives you a lot of food for the price. Everyone was so nice. I didnt get anything from the bakery but everything looked good. They had some good ice cream flavors too but I did not try any. I would like go back when they cook ribs and certain things they cook on the weekends. read more

I would give 5 stars, the food is great. BUT, everytime I go through the drive through the NEVER EVER put any sauce with my 5lbs of BBQ! Then I get home and have to drive back ten miles just to get the sauce then drive 10 miles back home putting me 20 miles out of my way! I also love the Oyster poboy and the last three times I got one I asked for extra tartar sauce I got home there was no tartar sauce no lettuce and no tomato just bread and oysters thus putting me 20 miles out of the way again! My recommendation is if you're going to eat there, eat inside! Do not I repeat do not go through the drive through unless you plan on parking AND taking all your big bags of food apart every time.... read more

Asked for sprinkles on my cone and she picked up a little spoon and sprinkled them on the top of the cone so there were only a few on it. Everyone knows that's not how it's done. Once I went to go pay it started to make sense. Little sign that says. 15 cents extra for debit and 50 cents for credit. Also notice there are almost no lights on the ice cream side. Seems like someone it looking to save money but at the expense of the customer and the experience. read more

While the ambiance begins to hint at a football game, it stops way too soon. I mention the ambiance before the food b/c the food is that lackluster. Plain. Big thumbs up for small business, local business. Just not my favorite for the food. read more

Neat little down-home type place with generous portions and friendly staff. I'll stop in again when I'm passing through

Country Style steak lunch special with 2 sides for $7.15 was excellent! Great service and owner was walking around greeting everyone. Attached bakery a bit pricey so we passed. Too full anyway from large portions!! read more

Went here for the first time while I was in Ktown for a wedding. Good bbq and great waitstaff. Had to force myself not to indulge in the desserts. read more

The chopped tray and red slaw were great. The Sweet Daddy's Sauce was a little sweet with the right touch of heat. Hush puppies seemed really dry didn't care for them, could have just been a bad day. We'll be back! read more

Awesome place! A bakery on one side, BBQ on the other...two great places packed into one location! My wife and I split a BBQ platter and it was more than enough to fill up and save room for a couple scoops of ice cream after! The chopped BBQ is pork and cooked over hickory daily. It was tender and delicious. It came dry (without sauce for you non-BBQ aficionados) but it was so moist! They offer two choices of sauce, both vinegar based; one sweeter and one worth more of a kick. We will definitely return when we're in the area! read more
