Lake Varsity Diner

I absolutely love visiting diner's anywhere I go. I grew up going to them with my Dad wherever we visited somewhere new. Sometimes I have a few experiences I'd rather not mention, but much of the time, like this one, is well worth taking the time to write a review. Joe and Colleen are the owners and personally took the time to chat with us and point us to the best meal choices. I had the most amazing burger with apple burger on it and my partner had a pretty amazing colorful salad and chili. Oh and the fries, which are homemade, are better than five guys!The place was immaculately clean and the jukebox is even free to play whatever songs you want. Well worth a visit if you are traveling through like I was!

This place definitely is great if you want a laid back location for a team. Aside from that, it's just fine. The service was super friendly, with either the manager or owner stopping by to joke around and ask us how it all was. The food itself was a bit mediocre though... It was definitely serviceable and would feed you, but for a hole in the wall diner, I was really expecting something a bit better. Milkshakes were very expensive for a shake that was decent, but not super above average. Fair warning, there aren't really any great vegetarian options available.

Great Vibe, awesome staff, and it has that small town Midwest vibe that is missing these days. And the fresh cut fries!!!!!!!!

So glad I looked this place up for a lunch date with my bestie after a trip to Beilers. Owners were an absolute delight and our food was delivered very hot and fresh. Have a thing for French Frys? These are hand cut shoe strings and all you have to do after you've devoured them is to holler "Spuds" and they come with another hot order, absolutely free! Ask about there homemade ketchup, thanks Grandma, I love it! They made sure we got out the door with refills on our soda and a fresh, hot order of spuds! Will go out of my way to go back there! I give them a very high 6 stars!

I had driven by this restaurant numerous times. My coworker and I decided to stop for lunch. We had the fried mushrooms which weee giant and delicious. Burgers weee really tasty. The waitress was friendly and really nice. We will be going back to try some other things from the menu. Almost forgot they have unlimited fries. Hand cut fries.

To start off, this is not my first visit to this establishment. Previous experiences however dictate my overall opinion of this place in this review.This was my third visit in the years since I've started my job nearby, in the middle of nowhere Ohio called Uniontown. This place is down the road in a tiny plaza in the middle of a Rite Aid and a State Farm insurance.Previous visits were subpar. I have a somewhat sensitive stomach, particularly when my body realizes food is either old or not handled properly. This was the case for the prior two visits in which I ordered salads and consequently became ill upon returning to work shortly after.But to focus on today's visit. I don't like to write off places where there is at least good service and hospitality, which this place definitely has. However, this visit would really make or break whether or not I ever come back here again.Place was empty when I came in, not very surprising. Ordered the garlic mushroom burger with fries and a water with lemon. They use paper cups for drinks. As I waited for my food, no one was around so I decided I'd take pictures, including the heavy handed God/"pro-cop" speech someone decided to type up and plaster on every booth in the restaurant. It was pretty cringe and based on others reviews, looks like they don't really care what people think or dont read these reviews anyways. Not surprising given the area we are in.Food came out greasy. Fries could have been down for a bit longer and the burger was mush due to not properly reinforcing the bottom from juices of the mushrooms and burger. Had to knife and fork the fries and burger. Not a fan of pretzel buns, but this one was pretty good. The bill came and I'm of the opinion that the meal, and menu in general, are overpriced based on the quality. The service was good at least.Overall, a typical grease pit of the area with hit or miss food that is overpriced based on the quality, ignoring the God and cop stuff they comfortably display in your vision as you eat. Strange layout, decent music. I haven't completely written them off, but I doubt I'll be craving this experience again any time soon.

We had lunch and the gyro was delicious. Sauce is one of a kind! Great service and the decor is one of a kind.

This is a great place. It's so funny to look and see all the haters during Covid that tried to destroy this place and now they've removed their comments. Great place highly recommend except for the people who disparaged them during Covid.

Fun place to eat with the family! Great local place with fun local decor. Holler "spud" for fresh fries!

I went there twice. The first time was around 14 years ago. I ordered a meat lovers sandwich which advertised six different kinds of meat, ham, turkey, beef, ect, it was kind of pricey but I thought for a bush sandwich I didn't mind. I got the order to go. When I opened the sandwich it had about two tablespoons of finely ground meat. I thought ok you got me but it cost them a lot of money because I live close. Last week I figured I would give them another try. I ordered a quarter pound burger and fries with a glass of water I also got a side of ranch to go with the fries. The burger was generic pre made frozen burger, the fries were actually pretty good if you like greasy fries. They were just like the fries from the fair and they used clean oil. The "ranch" tasted nothing like ranch. It was something that had been expired for probably a year or more. I've had unopened dressing that was really old and it was exactly that plus they charged me $1.50 for the side of ranch and $020 for the water. When I asked the waitress about the ranch she told me some peoples palettes are different and took it off the bill. Tip for owner. Some time a good deal for dressing on the internet is not worth it. Total bill for burger, fries and water $14.03. And if I didn't have the three she was going to give me 97 in change she made sure to tell me
