Totally overpriced. Haven't been in years, definitely won't go back. No clue how they are still in business with the price. Over $10 for one burger. The only thing special about it, is it has black pepper on it. Um, black pepper is complimentary at every other place. Save your wallet and drive a mile east to a place that's rhymes with MOPS. Less than $10 includes cheese on the burger, tots, and a drink. Thank me later. read more

Amazing burger and ribs it's beyond amazing actually. Hospitality is clear cut precise and to the point

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. read more

If you live in Pensacola, this is the Seinfeld Soup Nazi of the area. They used to kick people out who asked for cheese on their burger. I mean that literally. A few years ago they posted a funny video about it and then changed their policy to charge you for the cheese, sell you the burger, then kick you out. Very practical if you ask me. Anyway, don't be dumb, just order the single patty original burger as it is meant to be and enjoy. Best burger in the area. We order them a few times each year for carry out and it is consistently delicious. read more

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

Blue Dot is ghetto fabulous. The burgers here are always consistent. The menu is super simple. If it's your first time, just get the Burger, it's what they are known for and it's probably the best thing on the menu. Now to address the ghetto part, they don't seem to care about the hours of operation, you need to make sure to call ahead of time, the voicemail won't let you leave a message. You can try your luck and just go but you may be disappointed. read more

This is a Pensacola must-go places to eat. No frills. It's just a great burger or ribs. You don't get your way. If want it your way, go to Burger King. Otherwise order the burger and/or ribs and take it the way they serve it. You will not regret it. As always, get the BBQ sauce on the side for the burger. That right there is crack sauce! So good! The service is good. I don't know how to describe it. It's fast and you won't know what hit you when they are done serving you. No frills and no BS service. If you complain, they'll probably kick you out and will tell you never to return. Just kidding, but seriously don't be a Karen here. One of those places that has character and your experience will be memorable. You will either love them or hate them. There is nothing in between. You have to come here early. Once they run out of burger or ribs, that's it for the day. They are done for the day. read more

By far the best hamburger in Pensacola!! Not many options an very limited hours , but still the tastiest burger I've Been there since 2005 and keep going for more read more

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!! read more

Blue Dot Barbecue - Double cheeseburger. YUMMY!! - Burgers Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

Just left blue dot burger and the girl taking orders was incredibly , unnecessarily rude and short with me as soon as I walked in. I'm not sure what her problem is but when I asked for my drink for the 2nd time she threw my burger in the trash and said bye. Extremely childish and unprofessional. I was nothing but polite to the girl. Apparently it's the owners daughter. Idk if she thinks she knows me or what but I definitely never seen her in my life and can't imagine what her issue would be. read more

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. read more

Blue Dot Barbecue - DBL Burger - Burgers Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

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) read more

I have been eating burgers from Blue Dot for over 50 years. It is my favorite burger! Should consider opening a second location in Pensacola. Maybe on the Westside of town. read more

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 :( read more

This is the most amazing burger in Pensacola! Usually it's one way... Mayo, onions, mustard and tomato. But now you get to add cheese!

Blue Dot Barbecue - Burgers Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

2 years later, still damn good burgers. Now they have CHEESEburgers, however, here's my only off-putting about it; the cheeseburger here is NINE dollars instead of the regular hamburger for about five or six dollars. Don't get me wrong, the cheeseburger at Blue Dot in no way inferior to subpar, it still beats every other burger place in Pensacola, but if you're a diehard Blue Dot customer like me or a cheap ass (also me), it's better to get the regular and put the cheese on it at home if you want cheese so much. The cheeseburger, however delicious and scarfed down it was in mere moments, was hyped up on Facebook and when they delivered, it was a solid 8. read more

Classic greasy spoon atmosphere, but it's the best burger in town. All items are amazing. Service is fine, wish they had expanded hours and more staff for less wait time but it's still the go to. read more

Great old style delicious burger. Large size burger, big enough for two & they cut it in half. Flavorful, juicy meat & nice bun. Traditional & tasty fixings. Simple & delicious. If you're looking for extras like bacon or fries, you'll need to go elsewhere. Blue Dot is simple, basic. They have ribs some days & you can get one rib! They're big & saucy. Good but not my favorite rib. This is the kind of burger, that if it's your style, you'll be going going for a weekly fix. read more

Ohhhhhh LAWD.....hands down the best burger in the panhandle area! Blue Dot has to be a right of passage to become an adult!

Sold Out! That is a sign that many people saw and you will see if you are playing around and just looking at what time this place will close. This is one of those places that when the food runs out you get out because the place is closing. The disappointment you see in faces of people coming too late or walking in to be told that they are out of sandwiches for the day shows that the wanting of these burgers is real. I mean almost to the point that you are wondering if these people need some help with their Blue Dot burger addiction. This place serves two things. Hamburgers and rib sandwiches and then the rib sandwiches are only sold on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of the month. Yeah you read that right and on top of that you have to place your order before 9 AM. If you think that is too much you will be wrong because this place has been a staple in the "blocks" area of Pensacola for years. Yeah some of you remember when this area was known as the blocks for late night gatherings. The burgers are simple and I am not sure what the sauce is that they put on it but it needs to be sold in stores. Hint hint. Also the burgers are those handmade burgers the way you would pat them down at home before cooking them. There is no option for ketchup so sneak your own in. An amazing thing in this place is the owner who takes your orders. I have seen him take orders 8 deep and remember the orders perfectly. There really is no line in this place but yet he has a way of knowing who came in at what time as not to put someone ahead of you. If you are in the area of De Villiers St take yourself on a little trip to try one of the best burgers in Pensacola. Many have and you will see that this place attracts all types of people wanting to hit the spot known as the Blue Dot. read more

It's hard to beat a good dive joint! I tried Blue Dot with my co-workers for the first time a few weeks ago and they were totally on point when they told me how great the burgers are there. These folks have mastered burgers and that's what they sell. No frills, not many choices, just one of the best burgers you'll ever taste. I ordered a double burger with bbq chips. The burger was so big I had to cut it in half to eat it. That never happens to me. I wasn't even sure if I would be able to finish it, but I underestimated myself. The patties were thick and made with real ground beef. Adding and removing toppings isn't a thing there. I had to pick the onion off because they serve it dressed and that's that. That's really not a big deal to me. We called and ordered in advance and took it back to the office to eat. Ordinarily, you would order at the counter. If you prefer to eat there, they do have a few tables and bar stools at the counter. Apparently they sell bbq sometimes, but it's mostly just burgers. It's CASH ONLY, so don't expect to pay with your card. read more

This hole in the wall will surprise you. During college I worked downtown and one of my coworkers was in shock when I didn't know what he had in his little brown bag. "You've never had a blue dot burger?!" I tried one that day and if I'm ever visiting Pensacola during a work week I do a drive by to see if it's open. So, it's only open in certain days and for limited hours. but the days that you find Blue Dot open it will be packed. In all the years that I've known of this place I've only seen 2 workers: a little old man who cooks the burgers and a younger man with an Afro with a hat on...very 70s, 80s. Afro man for some reason knows exactly the order you've walked up to the counter. He comes out and passes everyone who came in before you a brown bag and takes their money. He then takes your order by memory. I haven't seen him mess up! You have to know what you want...I think there are only 3 things on the menu and you can't even get cheese. I'm a cheese lover, but the burgers don't need it! I don't eat pork, but I hear the rib sandwiches are good. I get a burger without mayo. So, my burger comes on what I believe to be a perfectly buttered bun, onion, & tomato. This burger is up there with the best burgers I've ever eaten! I don't know what seasoning they use on the meat, but it's fantastic. I do know that you can see the black pepper. I crave this burger! read more

I've wanted to try Blue Dot forever. The timing never worked out. Got there today (Tuesday) around 1:30. Easy parking in the lot next door. Placed our order - which is pretty simple considering the menu. 5 minutes later I had my brown bag and I understand why people love it. I just get it. It's a burger - and it's pretty much done 1 way. Salt, pepper, mayo, mustard, chopped white onion, tomato. There is no cheese. No lettuce. No pickle. I suppose they would let you leave something out. This is a minimalist kind of burger and it might be better for it. I'm a weirdo that hates tomato on almost all sandwiches. I love the idea of a beautiful slice of tomato - but I always pull them off. This might be the first burger I've ever eaten where I didn't take off the tomato. I will go back. read more

An unassuming little place that serves a great burger. Very reasonable prices, nice staff, and a well-seasoned burger that can't be understated. It's a family-owned business, and it tastes like a lot of love is put into it. I'll definitely come back next time I'm in Pensacola. read more

Overrated. The burger was ok nothing to brag about. Considering that's the only thing they sell most days that's pretty bad. No ribs when I went. And they don't have any sides. Place is run down. I'm all for hole in the wall places but usually the food is BANGIN! This was not. read more

Wife and I had been wanting to try blue dot for a while since we kept hearing such raving reviews. We came around lunch time; there wasn't any line or wait. We didn't really feel welcome being there. No greeting, or hello, just a "what can I get you?." No further conversation, or any attempt at small talk. They don't accept credit cards, so you have to get cash out from the ATM that is RIGHT NEXT TO the register inside the building...and accept a $3 + ATM charge.. I never understand why restaurants won't accept credit but then have an ATM inside... The meal is very simple; no tricks or specialties. You can get a burger with onions, tomato, lettuce, and BBQ sauce... but not even cheese? They don't put cheese on any of their burgers.. no idea why? The meal was very cheap, and the burger was good overall, but like I said, very bare bones nothing fancy or extraordinary. Maybe I just like more to a burger than meat and bun, to be wowed by it? The dot missed the spot for me. read more
