    Double cheeseburger. YUMMY!!
    John J.

    I have lived here since 1972 (except for 17 yrs while in the Navy) and I'd never been to Blue Dot. Well I finally went and my stomach is kicking my ass that I waited so long! As described nothing fancy but hands down the best burger I've eaten in Pensacola. (And yeah Sammy Barkers doesn't hold a candle!) I will be a frequent patron from now on!!

    If I could've had it my way today I would've had a Bacon egg n Cheese, salt pepper ketchup on a hard roll. Instead, I settled for a burger. My coworkers and I had been talking about this place for months, even met there one time for lunch and it was closed. So today I decided to head back. I got there right as they were opening and already there were people waiting on orders. My order was to go because the coronavirus is not allowing dining areas to be open. My burger came out pretty fast so I decided to eat it in the parking lot. I've seen the pictures on yelp so I was the least bit concerned with the appearance of the burger, I just wanted it to be BOMB! The first bite was the best bite. There was some salt and pepper on the bun that got wrapped into that first bite which added some seasoning. The bites that followed were just ok/good. As I'm eating the burger, I'm sizing it up to my burgers . The burger was a bit dry and under seasoned for my liking. I think I might be in the wrong occupation because my burgers has these beat hands down. I'd bet a $100. So overall, it was decent. I do recommend trying it for yourself.

    The Blue Dot...since 1946.

    I got there at about 11:45 on Wednesday and parked in the front. I ordered a double cheeseburger, Coke in a can, and a bag of BBQ Lays...to eat inside. All orders come in a brown paper bag with lots of napkins..(You will need them) The young lady was very courteous and helpful. My order took about 5 minutes and was nice and hot when I took my first bite. I don't like burgers to go..because they will lose some "juicieness" when cooled. Burgers and ribs...with or without a soda and chips. That's the menu and you won't be sorry. The customers were just one after other as I sat and enjoyed the fantastic burger... Okay...that's all for now. I'll go again next week. (Please disregard duplicate post below. I couldn't add pics on the App on my phone)

    Double burger with BBQ sauce
    Chad C.

    Short work trip so decided to pop in here for a quick burger, and very happy I did. Just a hole-in-the-wall, sloppy burger and BBQ joint, with a friendly face asking "what ya want?" as soon as you walk in. Definitely the type of place that reminds you that you are in the South! Recommend the BBQ sauce on the burger, and I hope you're OK with sloppy and wet, because this burger is a juicy mess, which is what makes it so good. Meat is very flavorful, and the taste is as unique as the joint itself. Pair it with a bag of chips and Coke, and you're all set. Ribs (and rib sandwiches) are also offered Tuesday through Friday. Friendly, delicious, and cheap! Only knock is no fries :(

    The best burgers in town. You can have anything you want as long as it's a hamburger and anything you want on the side as long as it's chips and canned soda. The burger is big enough for two to be satisfied. Comes standard with salt n pepper, mayo, mustard, tomato, onion. Delicious!!!! Great value, quick service.

    Unbelievably tasty burgers! While the seating is limited and they sell few items with the burgers, the burgers are to die for!

    We just stumbled upon this place looking for brunch before our flight. And I'm so glad we did. They…read morewere having jazz brunch on Sunday. Great music. And the food was some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. I even took it to go on the plane and brought the leftovers back to Texas for my lunch the next day. I had the 2 piece with 2 sides. Mac and cheese and green beans and it comes with an amazing homemade piece of cornbread. And of course our waiter was great. He kept the mimosas on the table flowing. I definitely recommend.

(Fish House, Atlas Oyster House, Jackson's Steak House, Five Sisters Blue's Cafe and Angelena's Ristorante Italiano. With Atlas and Angelena's setting the bar. Once greeted, we started with the Buffalo Chicken Dip, which was quit tasty. I had to try the Famous Fried Chicken (Dark) with Collards and Red Beans and Rice. The Fried Chicken was hot and delicious! The sides were way under seasoned, leaving me to doctor them with condiments. My wife really enjoyed the Chicken Fried Steak and Gravy with Mac n cheese and Fried Okra, which added to the comfort food enjoyment. My only wish would be, replacing the loud metal chair's on the concrete floors, which take away from the Blues Cafe Vibe. Glad we tried Five Sisters, but we will stick to our favorites in the future.

I'm a creature of habit and always get a reuben at places like this in an attempt to find the best one in town and so far this is still my leader. The meat and toppings are stacked, it's perfectly toasty without being too hard and it's just a good bite. 8/10. The fried okra was good, standard fare, nothing exciting or innovative but delicious no complaints. 8/10. The appetizer sampler didn't look like much when it came out but it was more than enough for the two of us. I can't speak to the mushrooms but she seemed to really enjoy them and the accompanying horseradish sauce was incredible. The pickles and corn nuggets were very yummy and were perfectly cooked. No complaints! Oh and the ranch is pretty good too. Overall 7/10. Our food did come before our appetizer but that's okay we couldn't have been bothered by that we planned to eat it all together at the same time anyway, but it is worth noting just in case that's a concern for someone. We both impulsively got bushwackers, and honestly I wasn't expecting much because it was 5:00 p.m. on a Tuesday and they were seven bucks but they were yummy and had a strong pour. We really enjoyed the. 9/10. The two employees that we interacted with were nice but not over the top. Our waitress kind of just left us alone and that suited us just fine. All in all we had a great afternoon catching up, enjoyed our food, enjoyed our drink and pet everyone's dogs. You just really can't complain about that! Oh and the bathroom was nice and clean and well stocked.

    We decided to try a new place and find Hub Stacey's! So glad…read morewe did! I had the Palafox and clam corn chowder, DELICIOUS! Soup was hot and full of flavor, sandwich was also delicious, fresh veggies on pastrami!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
