The food was great the staff was nice, it was just so so loud that we couldn’t hear anything and had to scream across the table the whole time. It was only 4:30pm when we arrived so I could understand it being louder later in the evening but it was pretty early. I felt like we were screaming at the lady taking our order just for her to hear us too. Other than that it was great!

What a fantastic pizza. As a former Chicagoan, this is close to what I got back in that day. The only problem was that it wasn’t cut in squares. :-)I’ll be back many times. The rest of their food is delicious as well. Previously had the wings and their Centennial sandwich. Loved them both.Kid-friendliness: Lots of video games and a couple of pool tables.

The varsity inn is a great like sports bar, they have pool and plenty of TVs to watch the game. I really enjoy their wings and sitting at the bar I get to see all of the pizza coming out as well that looks delicious.This is a great place to stop in for a quick drink or watch the game

Should be a zero star option. Don't waste your time. I have no idea what the food is like because we couldn't get anyone to even acknowledge we were there. They were not busy. Maybe 6 other people in the place. We even walked up to an employee who was at the register behind the bar. She wouldn't look at us or speak to us. We went elsewhere.

Food is quite good here. Bartenders can be pretty crusty.

This place is awful, the manager is rude to pretty much everyone. The food is exceptional, but Don’t waste your time.

We ordered takeout from this place and they were really nice! We got texted with updates about our order. They gave us the loaded nachos with the toppings all separate so it wasn't soggy. The calzone was HUGE! I had to share it - it was that big & good!

Food was delicious & service was AMAZING! I ordered online & they had some options to add stuff to your burger, I noticed that they didn't have fried egg as an option but they had a comment section so I asked to add a fried egg to my burger if they had any & surprise, surprise I got back to the hotel & opened my burger & there was a fried egg on it! Definitely recommend!
The varsity is a solid dive bar with great pizza and super service. They often have hockey games up on their big screens. I only gave 4 stars because they don't allow dogs on their back deck in the summer. It would be amazing to be able to walk to this super place with the pups and enjoy a beer in the sun.

We were there a few weeks ago. And our group noticed that the tall brunette seemed off while serving us, as well as being rude. We found out she's actually the manager that booked our party. It's very unprofessional to be drinking while on the job. You seemed like you had a few and you were frustrated the whole time we were there. We will not be back.

Looks like a really fun bar to go and watch sports at. Good cheap beer, the food made both my brother and me sick, he had a burger and I had the meatball sandwich so maybe it was just the ground beef that day. I will definitely try them again but I'm not sure if I'll gamble with the food again. Definitely worth going to for a drink and to get that "college bar" feel. It really reminded me of a Vegas bar in the 80s and I liked that, that's why I'll give it another shot.

Great staff across the board...first and only time there...I had 12 inch pizza, it was lacking on the pepperoni even though I asked for double pepperoni...tast was good, crust was tender and crisp, sauce was tasty.Draft beer...flop...over a couple hours they couldn't get some if not most of the tap beer to come out of the tap at an appropriate temperature or with proper CO2 levels. Had to resort to more expensive and less Desirable canned beer...but that should have been fine since canned beer is what it says on the building!Food & drinks: This is not a hotel...it is a bar and restaurant!

The bartenders are dope. this place needs new management. the gm hasn’t been too friendly the multiple times I’ve been. herd her tell staff not to serve someone because she simply didn’t like them. My friends and I won’t be back if this is the attitude you have towards your guests.
