Awesome experience....my husband and I have been wanting to eat here for years. We made the trip for our sons 4th birthday and the dogs, onion rings, and service was amazing. We will be back!

CitySearch Tips
The Extras
For a true nostalgic experience give the curbside service a shot, one of the few places that still does it, American Graffiti-style.
Parking
Those wanting to dine inside can easily find a space in the V's massive parking deck.
Know Before You Go
Study the menu before getting in line--the Varsity has its own menu shorthand. A "naked dog" is a Varsity signature hot dog without chili; a "bag of rags" is a bag of potato chips and an "FO" is an orange-flavored, slushy milk shake.
FourSquare Tips
The original Varsity was opened in 1928 and is the world's largest drive-in. On days when the Georgia Tech Yellowjackets are playing a home game, over 30,000 people visit The Varsity.
What you may not know about the world's largest drive-in and Atlanta landmark is that all your favorites are made from scratch! Upload a pic of yourself in a cool paper hat, sipping on a F.O.!
Located just a few blocks from Coke HQ, this eatery bills itself as the world?s largest drive-in restaurant, and holds the largest independent Coca-Cola fountain account in the U.S.
President Obama talks to a group of kids from Lenora Academy in Snellville, Georgia during a stop at the Varsity.
Fast Company and Foursquare have teamed up to highlight that sometimes after-hours locations inspire innovative ideas. Follow Fast Company & check-in to earn the "Big Idea" badge.
Crave from the Grave: Try this classic style sandwich with a Southern twist and go for the Grilled Pimento Cheese. I do declare it is mighty tasty.
If you come to Atlanta, you have to swing by this great, traditional landmark - great history and fast food menu!
have the onion rings instead of fries.
The chili dog is the classic item here, but branch out and give the chili cheese-burger a try (dont forget to add some chili powder too). For a side, the onion rings are definitely the way to go.
A staple of Atlanta!
