As an Atlanta native, my expectations weren't high and not in the way you'd think. When you go to The Varsity you know you're getting a greasy gut bomb and somehow you love it anyway. I was pleasantly surprised. The food honestly seems to be better quality or better prepared idk than my home town OG Varsity. The cashier was super sweet and helpful in making my decision. We sat outside since it's a nice day and the tables were clean even though they were decently busy. Overall, I was impressed! Both hubby and I ordered chili dogs and shared an order of onion rings. He got the Coke float and I got the frosted orange. Everything was good. Nice work Varsity crew. read more

Stopped by so my husband could get hot dogs and fries. He enjoyed his food and said this is the best location he's visited so far. Everything tasted exactly how he expected and definitely satisfied his cravings. I think it's a bit overpriced though. Service was quick, and we would come back. read more

The Varsity Winder - Hot Dogs Near Me - Bethlehem, Georgia

If you like poor service , order errors, cold food, this is your spot . Came in and ordered 2 slawdogs , 1 chili dog, 1 plain dog, 1fry, 2 onion rings . We got no chili dog, cold fries, cold onion rings and no onions. If you hanker the greasy V , drive to North Avenue or Maybe Dawsonville, but skip this Winder location. The V ownership should visit here someday to see how bad things are. For me, I shall never darken their door here again. read more

First time here or any varsity in some time other than the airport and couldn't wait. Got 2 #2 chili cheeseburger and a dog and fries. Service was fast to pay move on, drinks were ready and food so we pulled over to eat before driving . Same varsity we remember , she forgot our frosted orange but didn't charge but that was ok we were full. Onions and condiments were separate so kinda nice . No bag just boxes so for driving you don't get a trash bag but I carry them just a heads up. Had to lose a star because I felt like I was paying airport prices. $35 for 2 #2 with med drinks. We're in GA not CA !! I was shocked. Guess it's been a while but over $15 a piece I'll keep cooking at home . But this is 2024, election year, 8M illegals we gotta pay for so not this branch fault. But for varsity, this was good, fast, friendly. Highly recommend!!! read more

Food average, service less. Expect 2 star service and food. We have eaten here many years ago..4 stars then. Good luck.. read more

Overpriced, lame food with terrible service . We ordered food at 6:46 and had to pull up and wait for fries until 7:05. My son had the double bacon cheeseburger and it was the size of a hockey puck and a smushed bun for 5.83. 6 onion rings were 3.29. They did at least taste good but the burger was disgusting. Save your money and time. read more

The Varsity Winder - A rip off. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Bethlehem, Georgia

Stopped by this location because my wife and I were craving hot dogs. Location is off 316. You can either order drive thru or can eat at their outdoor seating area. We ordered two dogs each with chili, cheese, and slaw. Ordered onions on the side. We got our food fairly quickly. The hot dogs were delicious. We had our lab with us who was able to sit next to our table. read more

The Varsity Winder - Chili cheese slaw dog with onions - Hot Dogs Near Me - Bethlehem, Georgia

This particular Varsity location is in Winder, Georgia and if you are familiar with the Varsity chain, it is what you would expect from a Varsity location. It is fast-food, but it also has a long history of serving the Atlanta, Georgia area. The first Varsity opened up as "the Yellow Jacket" way back in 1928 at the corner of Luckie Street and Hemphill Avenue in Atlanta. The Varsity has since expanded throughout the Atlanta area. The burgers and hot dogs are fast-food quality and you should judge it as fast food. I think people come here because of memories or because of its longevity in the Atlanta, Georgia area. Regardless of the reason you come here, take the Varsity for what it is (a fast-food restaurant) and enjoy your meal. I guess overall I will give this particular Varsity location four stars. read more

Drive thru is super slow. Hire more people or close back down. Ordered the #7 slaw dog meal. Only give 1 star due to hot dogs cold. Onion ring soggy ! Nothing crispy about them at all. Did not receive a receipt after asking for it twice. No where near worth the $12 I paid. Will not be returning! read more

If you want a good chili cheese dog then go to any other fast food place because others are so much better. I'm so confused how anybody actually likes the food. The hotdogs are tiny and my dog wouldn't even eat the last bite. I also tried the cheeseburger and that was absolutely terrible. The prices are outrageously expensive for this poor quality food. I tried The Varsity one time when I moved here about 20 years ago and decided to give it one more try. Never again! Hopefully they go out of business and something great moves into this space. What a waste. read more

The Varsity Winder - The so called "cheeseburger" with nasty dried out meat. . Don't waste your money - Hot Dogs Near Me - Bethlehem, Georgia

You cannot go wrong with those chili dogs frosty and the good old days hot dogs and those fries so good and my hamburger are good too. It's cooked freshly hot. They cleaned it and super nice employees. You can go with your friends or family, don't forget to stop by and get some chili, dogs read more

The employees were very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience pleasant. The food was just okay--pretty average overall. The burger was thin and a bit flattened, and the chili dog came with mustard and chili by default, which wasn't expected. It's fine for a quick bite, but not something I'd go out of my way for. The service, though, was definitely a highlight! read more

I don't understand why people like Varsity ... the food is not good! This location, same as others as visited, the food is bland and basic. The customer service does not exist! The burgers are small and lack flavor, but be lucky if they get your order correct. The hot dogs, same as the burgers. Just skip it and go to the many other options in the area. read more

I was really excited when the opened up this location. I waited a few weeks until the crowd died down. My family visited right before closing on a Saturday night. The service was fast but lacked friendliness. You can tell every was done for the night. This location has no indoor seating, outdoor only. It was hot and bugs were flying all around our food. The onion rings were soggy and the chili dog was bland. read more

No inside seating, prices are insane now you're gonna pay $20 for a burger, drink, and fries like this ain't five guys this is McDonalds quality it should be half that. read more

The person that took our order, Tiesha, was so rude. They told us they didn't have any Frosted Orange. Ordered french fries and onion rings, didn't get the onion rings and at the pick up window was told to go back through the line to pay for them. Left cheese off cheeseburger. Terrible service. read more

All The Varsity goodness without the long drive. Best location on the north side of town.

We visited The Varsity during the lunch hour and were amazed at the lack of a line. There was not a wait, which may have been a sign. The ordering process was simple, but as someone else mentioned, customer service was pretty nonexistent. Our order was given to us without any words. It felt as though our existence as customers was annoying. The food was hot and tasty--but not enough to warrant a return trip. There are too many other options in the area. read more

The food was not good. The onion rings were all caked up and stuck together. Totally inedible. Asked for onions before I left the drive through and was told they were in my box. They weren't. So I drove back and I was then told they didn't have any chopped onions for the chili dogs. Disappointing considering I paid over $16 for two miniature chili dogs and onion rings. No drink with the meal. That'll cost you extra. First and last time going to this Varsity. I'll stick to the original downtown. read more

Pricy but delicious as expected. Chili dog & burger combos from The Varsity is a delicacy I'll always desire. This location closes a little early if you ask me. But they at least are doing a good job. Onion rings were also on point. read more

I ordered the grilled pimiento cheese sandwich here. They barely put a dab of cheese. Very, very disappointing. Every other time in the past 30 years I've ordered this, the melt y cheese is always oozing out. I won't be back read more

Food was disgusting. The onion rings were just soggy onions not even fried. The chili cheese dog looked so unappealing as well. It made me sick to my stomach. read more

Having just moved back to GA after being gone for 21 years, I was excited to see a Varsity in Bethlehem. Not sure what I remember, but this was not it. Over $14.00 for two bland hotdogs, soggy, greasy onion rings and a mediocre orange shake is outrageous. I could live with the price if the food was above average. Unfortunately, it was below average and the onion rings bordered on inedible. Nostalgia or not, for the price, I won't be back. read more

The food was ok but I wouldn't recommend coming here unless you check everything. I ordered at the window and didn't check, I ordered 2 fries, 2 onion rings, 4 chili slaw dogs........we received 3 fries no onion rings and only slaw on our hotdogs. Every person who checked their order coming out of the drive through had to stop and get straws, napkins and ketchup......DO NOT ASSUME They think you may need these things. read more

Don't waste $28 here. Fries and onion rings were soggy. The burgers were under cooked. read more

The Varsity Winder - Soggy fries - Hot Dogs Near Me - Bethlehem, Georgia

Horrible service. Waited 15 minutes for my order, and when it was finally brought out to my car- the fries were missing. We told the employee, she said it would take even longer. We told her we couldn't wait any longer, she offered no other option. Not to get a refund, not for a coupon, not to even speak to the manager. I do not recommend. read more

Old favorite, lost its way. Onion rings greasy soggy mess. My chili steak, dry as camel's poot. Chicken nuggets ok, but a dollar a piece???! Frosted orange was still good! 20$+. read more

My husband and I were excited when we saw The Varsity in Bethlehem being built as we are native Georgians and lifelong fans of the Varsity in Atlanta. Unfortunately, the restaurant has no indoor dining. Only drive-thru and outdoor seating. The experience definitely loses something in takeout. Yesterday the weather had warmed up sufficiently for us to go to the restaurant and eat outside. There had apparently been a rainstorm there earlier. It was around 4:00. There was standing water on all of the tables, as well as water on the chairs and a lot of water on the concrete floor in the dining area. Also, there was a significant amount of trash on the ground, no mustard or ketchup bottles on the tables, nor salt or pepper, and no napkin dispensers as there generally are. The food was ok but the general state of the dining area was off putting. The employees seemed unmotivated to make the outdoor dining area usable. I had to request at the ordering counter for someone to wipe off a table and chairs for us so we would have a place to eat. (The rain was gone.). Two employees were then sent out to clean things up. (I wonder why, if The Varsity is going to require their customers to eat outside in generally uncomfortable conditions, they don't have an employee come to the dining area every half hour or so to clean off tables, sweep up debris, and make sure the tables are provided with condiments and napkins, and wipe down chairs and tables after rain. ). Having no indoor dining seems to be a very poor business choice, especially since we have had temperatures ranging from the teens to 72 degrees this month alone. In conclusion, the food is generally ok, but the unclean and uncomfortable surroundings detract greatly from any enjoyment one may have in the food. read more
