While we have always appreciated carhop service restaurants because of their nostalgia and unique approach to serving food, now is the time when we can appreciate them for entirely different reasons. Especially the tried-and-true restaurant The Varsity in Georgia, which is one of the very few restaurants in the state that still offers up carhop service. You can hunker down in your vehicle and enjoy a meal with the skyline as your mealtime view.

Just because some restaurants haven’t been open on the inside, doesn’t mean that they won’t bring you an epic meal outside.

Carhop service was first introduced back in the 1960s when a server would bring fast food out to people in their cars at a drive-in.

While plenty of places may have gotten rid of their carhop service as they changed with the times, The Varsity has always remained loyal to where they began.

Enjoy a bevy of burgers and hot dogs, each slathered in their own accouterments from chili to cheese, kraut to pickles.

Pair a side of crispy onion rings or seasoned, fresh French fries to the meal—oh and don’t forget the apple pie!

And of course, if you needed another reason to visit this staple, there is not a more familiar greeting in the state than when you make it to The Varsity and hear, “What’ll ya have?"

Note: Right now, The Varsity has made the decision to cease operations due to the coronavirus pandemic. However, keep an eye on their social media page for when they will be back up and running!
