    Gus Burger
    Emily B.

    The White Spot is a UVA staple. It's great to grab some quick food and it feels like their kitchen is always open! It's super popular for their late night snacks and you will probably catch tons of kids enjoying their Gus Burgers and cheesy fries and onion rings around 3am on any weekend. The hectic vibes are where it's at. Also they have some fun merch that every UVA fan should grab before heading out of town. My parents even started coming here regularly. I've only ever enjoyed these delicacies in the late hours of the evening, so who knows how accurate my rating of the food would be. However, the vibes are 10/10

    Come for the Gus Burger Great, late-night college food. The Gus Burger is really what it's known for. The egg on a burger is available pretty much everywhere at this point, but I remember hearing that this was one of the first places to do it! Worth a stop late at night.

    Cool spot. Close to the hospital, which was why we were here. Good greasy cheeseburger and fries. Nothing fancy, but it really has an old time, been around forever kinda of feel. We came for a late lunch in a weekday, and were the only ones in the place. So it was quiet and noT crowded.

    Double Gus Burger w cheese. Eggs soft and everything on it.

    Somehow it all works out perfectly. The griddle burger, the runny eggs, cheese sliding off and the habanero sauce on the side. I just love it and have for 30 years.

    The Gus burger.

    I had my first GB during my first trip to Charlottesville when I attended a wedding near UVA. Going in the afternoon I avoided the mad crowd of college kids at midnight. That would've been fun but I enjoyed my GB in silence at noon.

    This iconic burger joint on the UVA campus is a must for hamburger fans. It has been around for decades and is thriving to this day. Be advised, this is a burger place in the style of fast food (not gourmet) burgers but with oh so much more character. We were in town visiting a relative in the hospital and needed a quick but fulfilling lunch. My 80-year-old uncle recommended this place because he remembered it from his college days! You can either order and sit at a soda-fountain style bar or sit down and they will take your order table-side. I had the Gus Burger special all the way, which was a cheeseburger with a fried egg on top, fries and a fountain drink. Although they don't have beer they do have SWEET TEA. Love that. Other pleasant surprises: the food came unbelievably fast and the French fries were excellent. The burger was great. I look forward to trying some of their other intriguing menus items. It looks like a great place for breakfast too.

    It's a university town classic. Friendly people and more space than initially appears. Great Gusburgers and fries.

    This is the most amazing food! So down to earth, yet sophisticated food. The Notorious PIG is not…read moreto be missed! Their soups are again, delicious and elevated above many restaurants in the area. Staff are friendly and courteous. As a former Seattleite, I consider myself to be a serious coffee critic, and lover. They know how to make a wicked latte! Some of the best in Charlottesville. My only critique is that I wish they still had inside seating, too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer. But that doesn't stop me from getting my food to go and making a mess of myself on the way home. LOL!

    What do I love most about Ivy Provision's? That they remind me of home in Virginia Beach decades…read moreago when TASTE Unlimited first opened. Better yet I respect the overall operation after a single visit and know they have their act together. Ivy Provisions is located just outside UVA grounds make it very convenient for this HOO Dad to check out the first time. Of course I looked at their reviews, menu and photos of sandwiches to properly vet. I was astonished and made this a must stop. I caught them at a good time on a weekday before close and better yet knew they were featuring lobster rolls on the Ivy Provisions Instagram feed. Parking was easy in their own lot. The non commercialized building was a welcome site. This is the one and only Ivy Provisions. Grab a bag of chips, salad or treat with a bottle drink as you head to the counter of Ivy's cozy space. The young gentleman was friendly and efficient with answering a few questions. My wife ordered the Gobbfather which is a Turkey Melt on white. I ordered the lobster roll special. Seating is all outdoors on the patio. Food orders are prepared and sent out in a bag through the window, you will find utensils and napkins in this location. The area was clean. The restroom is gender neutral and was also clean with proper supplies. My wife enjoyed her turkey melt and found it so big she could not finish. My lobster roll I had no problem dusting off. It was a beautiful roll with fresh Maine lobster and soft roll. Total home run. Find me back at Ivy Provisions the next time in Charlottesville. A full 5 stars and job well done all around.

    I've had some of the "most famous" sandwiches across most major metropolitan areas in North…read moreAmerica, Europe, and the UAE. This is the best sandwich I've had. Textures and flavors on these sandwiches work together perfectly. I'm sad I don't live here permanently.

    I walked in and started looking through the touchscreen menu. I wasn't greeted in but was bluntly…read moreasked "know what you want". I responded "no not yet" and continued looking at the menu. I was looking for a cold sub. Some of the sandwiches featured hot ingredients so i asked the man (the owner) "which of the sandwiches are cold?" he stared at me with a confused look on his face. So i repeated myself. "Are any of the sandwiches cold?" Again all i got was a confused glare. So, after several seconds of awkward silence, I rephrased again (thinking maybe it threw him off? maybe they are all cold subs?) "Are any of the subs hot?" i asked. Once again, nothing but a look of confusion from the owner of a sub shop being asked which of his sandwiches are cold or hot. I then asked "is that a weird question?" Finally, with a rude attitude, he managed to utter words and said he was confused because i asked him two different questions and that he "wasnt trying to be a "d!@k head but his brain just doesnt work that way". I only rephrased my question because he was awkwardly staring at me confused for several seconds before doing so. He then after all of that still did not provide any clarification to my question and left me standing there looking at the menu now confused and irritated. At least he admitted he was in fact acting like a "d!@k head" wether it was intentional or not. I turned around and left. Very entitled and rude attitude from the owner for seemingly no reason.
