by Edna C. on large selection of food with manhattan prices. had the traditional pizza---must say was very good. it was extra cheesy & hot. crabcakes werent too great, french onion soup was good. had the fish & chips---fish was lightly battered & not too heavy. good service except for the pesky cleanup boy who kept asking us if we were done.
by rob h. on I was driving through town with the wife and kids and they all needed to eat RIGHT AWAY and we just happened on The Varsity. The service was friendly enough, the menu is somewhat limited (They do bill themselves as a hot dog join, so that's OK.) plenty of seating and parking with the quaint option of car service, We ended up with one of just about everything on the menu, nothing was bad per se. Everything was cool (Temp wise) except the onion rings. Noting knocked my socks off. The best thing that we had was the slaw dog, it is good slaw and a combo that we had not tried before. Perhaps we are just spoiled from being Chicago natives and having grown up in our own hot dog culture, I would not avoid a future trip, nor would I go out of my way to return.
