by Me V. on If price were no object Yoshi's SF would garner another star, but for us regular folk, be prepared to pay top dollar. Ordered just 2 things as we had a show to go to next door: the $16 Fresh Blue Shrimp Tenpura and the $32 Imperial Wagyu steak. Both were excellent...delicious, but sparse. Shrimp amounted to about $3 a piece; steak was $8@ for 4 micro-mini filet mignon-sized cuts. OK so these were served "family style" and so each was shared w/date, but I had to go to Mickey D's afterwards as I was famished a couple of hours later. My bad. The space was terrific, cozy, romantic, etc. so bring the wife or gf and make it a special destination-type night out.
by Aileen V. on I went here on a date one day and the food was not so good. We went early and we planned to eat so we didn't have to pay a cover charge. I had the ambiente fajitas and my date had the Blackened NY steak. It nothing special. My fajitas didn't taste much different from the ones I get at Chevy's. My date didn't seem to like his steak either, and just like me I found him picking at his food. The waitress was really friendly and very attentive. We didn't stay too much for the night scene there but it didn't get to crowded too quick. They played some great Latin music, and my date considered staying a bit..but i convinced him watching a movie was probably alot better. For the price that you pay for food its isn't woth the visit, and apparently by the other reviews, the price you pay to get into the place without the food isn't either...
by Trent Farrior on If someone came to Atlanta and asked me where they could get some greasy food that if eaten over a long period of time could cause a heart attack then I would have to tell them all about the Varsity. Almost everyone I know has been to his place on more than one occasion. The Varsity's food has absolutely no health benefits at all, but that is what makes it sinfully delicious. I make sure that I at least consider eating here before I go to watch a sporting event in downtown Atlanta. The grease coats the stomach perfectly to ensure that a large amount of beer can be consumed later in the night. The place is set up like a fast food restaurant on the inside. You order at the counter, wait for your food, and then go sit down and talk about how awesome the food tastes while you eat. Its funny to look around at people eating here because you know that a lot of them feel ashamed or guilty for eating the Varsity again, which could be seen more clearly on their face if it was not buried in the large fries and chili cheese dog on their tray.
