I visited this location this evening for dinner with my girlfriend and her family. As we walked in, we were hit by a very unpleasant smell, do you guys clean your grease traps regularly? Not good but hey it happens. We sat and were greeted quickly, the waitress was kind enough. I thought that the service could have been a bit more attentive, I had to go up to the bar for some lemons and ask another waitress for help a time or two, but I try not to be too hard on the staff, just please try and be more attentive. The food came out quickly and it was pretty good, and it exceeded my expectations. We had wings and some fried mushrooms and fried pickles, all very delicious. At one point, there was a loud obnoxious intoxicated woman shouting loudly at the bar, it really added to the atmosphere of the restaurant. All in all, the food made the experience bearable, as I was having an incredibly unpleasant time and was not impressed for the most part. Would I return? Sure, if I’m not driving and if I have no choice in the matter. Do I recommend? I find it difficult to endorse that suggestion, visit at your own risk.

1st time here in many, many years and I don’t know why we haven’t been back sooner.
We got there about 11:45 am I believe. We walked in, the sign said “seat yourself”. We were greeted by Alyssa at the table instantly as she was our server. She pre warned us that they just lost electricity and it should be back on soon. We waited a few minutes to decided if we were going to stay or leave. We decided to stay.
We ordered 24 chipotle bbq wings, the sauce was much hotter than I remembered as we have had them at the Clearwater location many times as well as here years ago. The wings were cooked perfectly. Between the two of us, we only had 15, as we got filled up quickly. They were very yummy and loved the no breading!!! We also ordered the Patriot sandwich and fries. The sandwich was said to be yummy!!
The restaurant seemed to fill up while we were there with about 8 other tables and probably 10 people at the bar who seemed to be regulars.
The restaurant was very clean, the bathroom light in the ladies room was a bit dim but overall very clean.
Definitely will be back to try other items on the menu.

Always a great place, fast,close, and a great menu selections. This really is an NPR staple with great food. The servers are always on top of everything, so you have no worries about running out of your favorite beverage.

We haven’t been to Varsity Club in a long time. They closed the one down on East Lake and we were sad to see them go. We were in the area and decided to grab a bite to eat. Heather did a great job, she was professional, friendly and attentive. When we come back we will be asking for her.

Would have given more stars but our service this evening was horrible. We have come here numerous times when the establishment has been slam packed busy and received better service.
This evening it was not. Our waitress only took our food and drink Orders and brought us our drinks other than that a different waitress brought out our appetizers and our food. Half the time our cups were empty. We were only offered one refill.
Food was good though.
