Varsity Grill & Bar
Reviews
If you want your waiter to ignore you, then this is the place to eat at. I gave it 5 chances at random times. I have only had one good experience there. It isn't my imagination either. While I was waiting 15 minutes for the lady to come back and refill my children's drinks, I overheard some patron ask the busser to get the waitress because she was ready. I watched him find a waitress, who looked clueless while trying to search for the customer. When our waitress finally made it to our table, she started asking if we needed anything....then randomly ran off mid drink refill order, not to return for about 5 minutes. I was so unimpressed watching the staff try to function. There does not seem to be any structure or leadership in that establishment. None of waitresses seemed to have any idea as what they were suppose to do. It was just pure chaos. What I have taken away from my visits to the Varsity Grill is that, if you are the only one in the restaurant, you will receive great service. Throw in a second customer and watch chaos manifest itself in the form of poor service and blank faces. However, would be a great place if they had some form of management, any management for that matter. The staff clearly has no idea what to do and they are just clueless as to their function in the greater scheme of things. To a better future I suppose....
Went in for the first time. Looked like a standard bar and grill. Looked at the menu and saw not a whole lot of selection. We got our mozzarella sticks and we got like 5 of them not impressed on the amount but liked them still. Then got our food and I got a burger, side salad was extra for substitute. Got ripped off of fries it seems waitress didn't pay attention and I couldn't believe I was paying so much and then paying more for a salad. I couldn't believe it, didn't bother about it, paid and walked out disappointed and not happy. Food was good but so expensive for nothing wished we went somewhere else.
I was up here visiting my uncle and happen to stop here and watch the Chargers game. Food was great. The beer is good and also the bartender lady cute as can be. I'm from California, thanks Varsity.
Bland.
Service tends to be very slow and unorganized. The burgers are good, but other things I've tried have been pretty awful: mashed potatoes are fake and taste bad; vegetables are overcooked and mushy; salad is dry and wilted; calamari is bland and rubbery; they stopped stocking non-alcoholic beer because they didn't sell enough of it (maybe because they didn't bother to list it on the menu and were inconsistent in stocking it). We live in Scappoose and go there once in a while, but I usually come away disappointed and wishing we had gone somewhere else. Unfortunately there are few (practically none) good restaurants here.
