The World's Largest Drive-in



In 1928, the original varsity opened and began hosting well known people from the entertainment industry, sports industry, Governor's mansion, White House and just regular folks from Atlanta. Georgia Tech is located across the street and on any given game day 30,000 people visit the Varsity.
As you enter this great establishment, read the menu quick and have your order ready as the famous chant begins, "What'll Ya Have" and you better be ready! All the menu items are made fresh daily and include some of the best drive-in fare around. Hot dogs, hamburgers, fries, onion rings, fried pies, shakes, chicken salad, egg salad, pimento cheese, BBQ and even salads. But you must first know some of the lingo, so below is you varsity chart.
Naked Dog - Plain hot dog
Red Dog - Naked dog with ketchup
Walk a dog - Hot dog to go
Heavy Weight - Hot dog with extra chili
Glorified Steak - Hamburger with ketchup, mustard and pickle
All the Way - Hamburger or hot dog with onions
Bag of Rags - Potato chips
Strings - Fries
Ring One - Onion Rings
FO - Frosted Orange Shake
PC - Plain chocolate milk with ice
Joe-Ree - Coffee with cream

So when I go to the varsity, I always order my fave: Heavy weight walk a dog with a FO and Strings. The Varsity is an Atlanta institution and loved by all. Come on by!
Located at 61 North Avenue in downtown Atlanta. Open every day except Christmas and Thanksgiving.
