    Drink cup

    I hadn't visited the Varsity since I was a young child when I was in Atlanta. Wanted to see how this compared to what I remembered. Nothing special like people seem to hype it up as. The food was alright. Very greasy, which is synonymous with the Varsity. Restaurant was very clean and well-stocked. Not sure if I'd visit again.

    I have not eaten at " The Varsity " in over 40 years. I visited them over the weekend while back in the area. The food does not even compare to 40 years ago.

    Plenty of fries in the kids meal!

    Got the kid a kids meal dog with fries and a drink, I got a kids meal dog with onion rings and upsized to a coke float. Hubby got two dogs, fries and a drink. It was plenty for us with leftovers for $29. Then got a take home double burger for the teenager for less than $5. Not bad at all for a fun night out with the little one. The food was great, I really like their fries and onion rings. Hot dogs were just right and not too salty. We had a great experience. Staff was super friendly, patient and helpful. Everything was real clean and neat. We'll be regulars!

    Kids meal burger & onion rings. $8.70. (Not picture was the min shake $1.99 upcharge).

    Hamburger was cold. Fries were undercooked, cold, and half full. The only item that was good was the Coke Zero.

    Food was very greasy and burnt. Building was dirty and outdated. Service was okay. Always empty.

    The waitress kind as she was, was not aware of what service really is. Not to demeaner her…read morecharacter she was just not intended to be a waitress. The ordered food for a group came to the table in shifts. She kept trying to remember who had what very lacking in professional service. My girl didn't get her order for more than 30 minutes after the last person she recognized as having ordered a meal. She apologized for the missing order and began a frantic search for the ticket that contained the order. After another 15 minutes of waiting she told my girl she would personally go and make sure the order was properly prepared. The order finally arrived, everyone else in the group had finished eating. The food was good. But the management and service suck. When we spoke with the owner about the issue, she said okay I'll give you 50% off. When a quality restaurant would have made it a free meal and offered 50% off the next time we came. (Which at this point would be never) When the bills were processed there was an automatic gratuity added to the total. There was never any mention of this when we were placing the orders. The owner told us that she wasn't aware of the process. Again if the owner doesn't know how her business is being operated, major issues will always be conic. Bottom line - food was good service and atmosphere of the place is very unpleasant. We will never return or offer advice for others to do the same.

    This guy NEVER answers the phone. Don't go here unless you want to wait 30 min for him to prepare…read moreyour food

We had three sandwiches: Dill with it, the arsonist and the Al Capesto. Our favorite was the arsonist followed closely by the pesto one. The candied bacon and the seasoning on top puts it over the top. We loved how they cut these onto triangles of four, making them real easy to share. I ordered online and it only took 15 minutes. It was ready as soon as I ordered and started my half mile walk. I've heard of ghost kitchens before, and have got delivery from them, but never been inside of one. I absolutely love the idea. They take an underutilized kitchen such as one at a church and put it to good use during off hours. It's such a wonderful idea to not be wasteful with space and I'm sure it keeps the food prices low. Don't expect like a fancy fast casual place that spends way too much money on their space, but they do a perfect job with what they got. You are coming up to a church, but it's so well marked with signs and lights you can't miss it. It so nice to having a place in Candler park we can walk to, and the owners are warm and friendly. Truly a unique gem in the hood.

    I was in town for work and wanted to try somewhere local for dinner. Giggity's was recommended by…read morethe hotel's front desk clerk since I was looking for somewhere to watch at least part of the Monday Night Football game. Located in a neat downtown area with several other restaurants and some boutique style shops. Since it was a Monday evening many of them were closed. I decided to try Bigfoot's Peanut Butter and Bacon Burger (Grilled half pound angus burger topped with bacon and your choice of cheese. The peanut butter comes on the bottom bun for the added kick of flovor!). Other than being very messy, which I had to request extra napkins for (it appears that normally that they have paper towel rolls spaced around the bar top but was not near me), it was really good. The patty was cooked medium well and all the ingredients were tasty. Because of the mess I would probably not get it again. But that is the only reason. The tots were perfectly crispy outside and soft inside. It was not super crowded and other than having to ask for extra napkins, bartender was attentive. In addition to the bar top there are some tables as well. If I was back in the area would have no problems with returning and trying another burger, their prize winning wings or the "IDK What I Want" Sampler of 3 of their starter options.

    Definitely an ideal place to people watch! I did not eat here and nor will I ever. I only drink…read morebeer here and watch the live show! Gotta see it for yourself!
