Blue Dot, Pensacola FL

Its the best burger i have ever tasted. 9/13/2023 and still the best Burger you will ever have!

I had lived in Pensacola for 25 years, and I never went to the infamous Blue Dot. It took me moving away and coming back to visit eight years later in order to finally come. And I instantly regretted all those 25 years of never being here before. It was so good.

The building has that iconic look to it. They don't make buildings like that anymore. Stoic, blue, welcoming. You enter and there's just tables everywhere and a counter you walk up to to order. Lots of welcomes echo from the back where everyone was husting and bustling.

Blue Dot's key to success has been its simplistic menu. Burgers and ribs and that's pretty much it. So I ordered one of each. Just a simple burger, no fancy fixins. But chocked full of flavor, tasted like it was cooked right on the coals. And a nice steamed bun. Very good. Very worth the price.

And then I went a little too far. Not only did I order the ribs, I ordered the whole slab option. Sounds like a good idea at the time. Turned out to be a great idea. Dinosaur ribs in a big pan dowsed with a yummy sauce. No unrendered fat that got in your way, and plenty of tender meat. Bite, dip in the sauce, repeat until done.

Overall, place has earned its legendary status. Efficient service, amazing food, a good place to show your friends from out of town. Will be back soon.

Finally made it in for a burger. My wife and I almost bit off more than we could chew, each ordering a double cheeseburger. Man, they're big! Pretty good tho. Authentic old place.

The best burger in Pensacola. Try it for yourself and see. It’s an experience you gotta try. Don’t be shy tell ‘em what you want at the Blue Dot!

Never open and runs out of food all the times
Prices is outrageous and the food is not all that good like back in the days

Burgers were mid. Nothing really exciting or special about the taste. They were a nice size. For the price point there's definitely other burger spots around pensacola that are more flavorful.

You will not find a hamburger better in the entire universe. Really. They march to their own beat here. Go with the flow and simply enjoy. Lot's of character. Narrow menu. They may have rib sandwiches but you must ask. They sell out fast on the days they have them. Hamburger/Cheeseburger is the main show here.

Best burger ever hands down in pensacola over 50 plus years keep cooking baby your burger ate fite

Oh I love this place my mom told me about this place as a child growing up and here I am 46 years old still coming to Pensacola and making my way to blue. Thank you so much for staying in business and keeping it simple and Delicious I will continue to support. Katrina Dubose

I came here for the first time today and I feel like I have done myself a huge disservice waiting so long. The customer service was great, the food was delicious and I will forever be a customer! Thank you for being here and serving our community for so many decades!

The burgers were great, full of flavor and excellent texture. Fastest burgers in town. They keep it simple, I suppose it’s so they can be excellent at what they do. Only sore spot was when I used the restroom: only hot water to wash with - ouch!

I’ll definitely go back.

If you like hamburgers, this is your place. I've been to Blue Dot three times since I bought property down the street. I'll continue to go back. No frills, just a great hamburger. The history of the neighborhood is remarkable. It’s well worth the trip. Think of the SNL cheese burger skits many years ago. When locals come in and yell their order you’ll have no idea what was just said. Relax, the second generation owner will take care of you like you’re an old customer.

Very good burgers. Maybe not the BEST I have ever had, but does that mean it isn't worth the price or worth the drive? Absolutely not. I would eat this burger ANY day of the week. I have not had many that I would consider as good, much less better.

The owner does not play around! And the service was great.

Mediocre, at best! If you get a fresh burger! Now, they will throw a burger in there from the day before! You can taste the difference!

Its not the same the buns use to be toasted and now they soggy the meat use to be seasoned now it aint its gross now it taste like a child played in it. They aint worth the price if it dont come with fries or a drink.

I'm hoping it was just an off day when I went. I didn't have a problem with the atmosphere, pretty straight forward. The girl behind the counter was doing call out orders for the folks in front if me. I knew what I wanted before I even went in. She asked me what I wanted and before I could even tell her about the second burger, she had turned and went in the back. So I was gonna catch her again, yet she not even acknowledging I was there. I had to wait till someone else came in before she was even within earshot to say I had another burger I was trying to get. Anyway. I get the ordering on the fly, fast pace, but they should make sure theyve got it all before they start flying around. But the taste was.meh. It was a hefty burger for sure, but both burgers i ordered were dry. Idk what all the rave is about. Honestly it wasn't that special.

It does not make sense how these burgers are so good. Like all they tell you exactly what's in it, but the sum is greater than all the parts. Plus the burgers are huge. Truly exceptional burgers. Counter service with a few places to sit inside. We heard the ribs are also exceptional, but they run out of them pretty quickly.

This is one of Pensacola's must haves when you come home to visit. They have the best homemade burgers and thier rib sandwiches are my husband's favorite. You gotta stop at Blue dot it just reminds me of home.

This place is a guilty pleasure of mine. The hamburgers are the best in Pensacola. They don't have a brioche bun or fancy lettuce, but hey, if you see yourself complaining about that then you should probably try someplace else.
