The White Spot

The White Spot, a greasy spoon diner with a vaguely segregationist name open late night is forever a favorite spot for locals and students on the UVA Corner.

Opened in 1953 in the former home of a beauty salon where a white spot had once marked a swivel chair, the fame of this comfort food dining palace travels as far beyond Charlottesville as the dignitaries who patronize it.

Home of the famous “Gus Burger,” which includes a burger with a fried egg on top, Much of the fable of this Cville institution is summarized on the restaurant’s website HERE.  For certain, The White Spot is sure to satisfy any late night or mid-afternoon hunger you bring to the UVA Corner.

For certain, it is a legendary destination. And now on tour? The Gus Bus!
