After a fun filled few hours we were famished and pleasantly surprised by this clean and well run Varsity. The food was tasty, the prices were reasonable and the vibe was an old school diner. The Varsity as a whole has been serving good chili cheese dogs and chili cheese hamburgers since 1928 and it was great to experience the old school feel and ambiance. Drinks are coke products and free refills given. Service was friendly and fast and seats were comfortable. Tip: recommend having dessert here. The peach pie and apple pie here are fresh, warm, and delicious! Brownie is also wonderful. 4.2 stars rounded up because it's the Varsity! Thank you for a great and fun filled time!

I will definitely go back for another one soon. They seem to be busy breakfast and lunch place because they close early. Service was great and the owner/cashier very helpful. It is definitely worth the trip.

I've noticed that Guthries was franchising so hoped one day I would be somewhere I could try it. Well today is the day. I'm just going to summarize my feeling right now. I do not want more restaurants with bland chicken and a special sauce. Just stop with the sauce, season the bird! I went in, ordered at the counter, sat down and waited about ten minutes for my order. The chicken was a little overcooked and could use some seasoning. The crinkle fries were crisp but just were not hitting and I like the crinkle style. The toast was properly cooked but was limp. Ok Guthries is a known tradition, people like, but it is not for me.

The chicken was so dry and hard you couldn't eat it. Called the store no one picked up. Got back dressed and went back to the location. Super rude and seemed irritated that I was complaining. Today (8/8/26) decided to stop by again. Ordered through the drive through. Got home and never failed once again very disappointed. Everything is super salty to the point it's almost inedible. Everything down the Guthries sauce. The chicken fingers have gotten so small they look like large chicken nuggets. The fries are burnt. Well this was the last for me. I will be going next door to Chick-Fi-la. DO BETTER GUTHRIES

My experience at every single Zaxby's is pretty poor, but cartersville location by the hospital is…read moreBY FAR the WORST. In the past couple years, I've been to Zaxby's only a couple times, and here is my experiences: waiting 45 minutes in a parking lot while waiting for an order that was placed ONLINE 20 MINUTES BEFOREHAND. They once threw away my receipt without asking if I want it, THEN decided to ask if I wanted it, and I said "I did but it's fine", and instead of accepting my decline or reprinting the receipt, they FISH IT OUT OF THE TRASH AND GIVE IT TO ME. Found multiple short, black, curly hairs in my milkshake. And while those were all on separate occasions, here is something that happens without fail at EVERY ZAXBY'S location. You pay for every single sauce you get, and THEN THEY DON'T GIVE THEM. Most fast food chains at least let you have a couple free sauces and charge you for excessive amounts. But Zaxby's charges for every individual sauce. And then you find that it's not in your bag or any of your boxes. I think it's ridiculous to charge for a 1 tablespoon serving of sauce in the first place, but then to hold them hostage from customers is insane. It happens so much I almost think the managers TELL their employees to do this so that they can make a couple extra bucks. The workers are always cold and miserable towards you. No matter how many times you say "thank you", "good evening", "have a good day", it's always the same. And I know it's not just my bad luck either, I've never heard anything good about the Cartersville Zaxby's. I got my blood drawn the other week, and the workers were talking lunch, and upon someone suggesting Zaxby's, another worker shared that they got food poisoning from this location recently.... I don't understand why anyone would ever want to go here. Price is higher than a cat's ass for the worst service you'll ever receive.

We were going to spend longer than planned at the nearby Booth Museum, so we took a break around…read morenoon for lunch. Had I known how close this place was and had it not been 95 degrees out, I'd have just walked. As it was, I drove past the correct street and it took another 5 minutes to circle the block in traffic. The restaurant was actually within 300 yards of the museum. If you are heading south on Museum Drive towards downtown, Church Street will be the first cross street you come to after the museum. Downtown Cartersville has a large road overpass that spans the train tracks. Under this bridge is a series of shops forming one block of several that make up the whole of the business district. The Appalachian Grill is located on the row of shops under the bridge. An added bonus for us was that there is street parking out front and it was well shaded due to the bridge! There appeared to be one or more public lots within half a block also. The restaurant opened within a minute of when we exited the car. There was a small crowd already waiting, and at noon they opened the doors. I think there was a small fenced patio space along the sidewalk but no one was initially interested in that due to the heat. The interior has a sort of lodge-meets-Frank Lloyd Wright feel in terms of the decor. It is also a bit dim / cozy. I worried that the servers would be overwhelmed by the opening crowd, but they handled it quite well. Our server returned relatively frequently to get our drink orders and later our food requests. There was a slight wait after that, but given the influx of customers, it wasn't as long as I might have guessed. The menu was quite varied, and ranged from salads and burgers up to steaks. This is probably fine dining adjacent in the evenings for dinner. I got a BLT and my wife got a Portobello mushroom sandwich. Both of us opted for the 'steak fries'. The amount of food was surprisingly large! We managed to finish our sandwiches and a few of the fries, but had a take-out box of fries for later too. We both liked our sandwiches. While I tend to like steak fries, these were like the big brother of your average type. They were more like potato wedges than large-body fries. Maybe they are new, as the server asked me at the end what I thought of them. My honest opinion, which I shared, was that they were good, but would be better if the potatoes were peeled and if the size of each fry was halved. We did end up finishing them a few days later. Prices were not cheap but were not out of line for the type of establishment and the quality (and quantity) of food. I might try this place for dinner as opposed to lunch if I came back to Cartersville. I'd certainly recommend it for a meal.
