One of city’s most iconic restaurants, The Varsity in Midtown Atlanta, is celebrating its 90th anniversary this month. If you stop by the family-owned eatery, you’ll see an abundance of commemorative merchandise and limited-edition cups ($5.99) where you can get unlimited refills on soft drinks and $0.90 refills on Frosted Orange, vanilla and chocolate milkshakes through the end of the year.
And best of all, on Saturday, August 18. All menu items will be priced at $0.90 at all five The Varsity locations (Atlanta, Athens, Dawsonville, Kennesaw and Norcross).
The restaurant is also pledging $90,000 to Shepherd’s Men, a group that raises money for military initiatives at Shepherd Center in Atlanta.

Anniversary events officially kicked off on Memorial Day weekend with the Shepherd’s Men run (from The Varsity to the Shepherd Center in Midtown) to raise awareness for veterans with TBIs and PTSD. Now it’s all going to culminate with an anniversary party on Saturday, August 18.
In addition to the $0.90 price menu, the Midtown location will feature special events from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
“For nine decades, we’ve had the opportunity to bring great food to our loyal guests in Atlanta,” The Varsity President Gordon Muir said. “We’re excited to celebrate this milestone in a fun and meaningful way that includes giving back to the community that has given so much to us.”
