Blue Dot Barbecue is a restaurant located at 310 North De Villiers Street, in the heart of the Belmont-DeVilliers neighborhood, known for its hamburgers and rib sandwiches. It is owned and operated by Thomas Long, Jr. and his son, Byron Long.
History
Blue Dot is named for its original owners, Blue Robinson and his wife Dorothy ("Dot"). The restaurant opened in 1947[1] and was originally located in the Eastside neighborhood, near the H&O Restaurant. It later relocated to the intersection of De Villiers and Wright Streets, moving again to its current location circa 1995. The Robinsons' nephew, Thomas, was an early worker at the restaurant and took over operations circa 1987.[2]
Menu
The menu has only four dishes: a hamburger $8 and a double burger for $10 and a barbecue hamburger $8.50 and a double BBQ burger $10.50 in 2024. Ribs are still available on certain days. Its a good idea to call before going if you want the ribs. A variety of chips and canned drinks are also available.
