Ravenna Varsity Restaurant

I agree with others, food id good/OK, service non-existent. I read a few reviews before giving this place a try, and was not put off by the recurring theme of slow/bad service. We had a lot of time to spare, and its always great to find a really good breakfast place. I called before heading there on a Sunday morning, and was told that they had space but was warned that the service would be slow. Well, their warning was right.

The real trouble is that the food was pretty bland/not cooked well/not so tasty (but also not downright bad either). So, there was no compensation for the really slow service. Also, after waiting forever, they screwed up my daughter's omelette and put something she did not want in it. They verified that it was wrong, but did not offer to immediately fix it, so she ate is (even though she doesn't care for mushrooms) rather than wait another 45 minutes.

The big question I have for myself - why go back? I don't have a good answer.…

Really???. I gave this restaurant 3 stars mostly for great food! I came in on a Sunday and ordered the Joe special. Although the food was great, my service not so much. My waitress seemed to know many costumers in the restaurant. I'm pretty sure her name is Sandy, also the owner. She must be new at this because the whole time i saw her sitting down, eating,talking on the phone and on her laptop!! She did know how to order people around though!! I saw about 2 young girls in there and she yelled at them like they were her own daughters! I've eaten here mostly on Sundays and i recommend to seat in the back where the other waitstaff is! I will come back again, just never sit in the front!!…

Deserving of 5 Stars!. This place definitely deserves more than 2.5 stars. The Varsity is a great restaurant with a warm atmosphere and delicious meals. The menu has a wide variety of foods; even the pickiest eater will be able to find something to their liking here.

I come to The Varsity for time with my family, to catch the latest sports game on TV, or just to have a great, satisfying meal with friends. This restaurant is versatile and has stellar ambiance. It's kid-friendly, and my twins love the coloring books & crayons that are available for them.

It's a bummer that people write this place off just because they feel the service is slow. For a typical dining facility, the service is fine and the waitstaff is very welcoming & friendly. My coffee cup was never empty and I always leave full and happy. I've come to this place for years and I absolutely love it! If possible, I would give The Varsity TEN stars, because it's that awesome.…

Great Family Restaurant!. I have been going into the Varsity for years. I remember when it was back in the old building, many of the same workers are still their today. It is owned by Sandy, who has been working their since i can remember. Most of the other workers are her children, family and friends. This is truly a family run business.

I have tried many things on the menu and have loved everyone of them. I love that i can subsitute a fresh fruit cup for my hashbrowns, and they will let you modify anything on the menu. I always get exactly what i want.

They serve Zoka coffee and espresso, which is a great local coffee roaster.

Overall the varisty is a great place to get some friendly service, great homestyle breakfast and good coffee!…
