The Spot

Home of The Gus Burger, a UVA tradition at this popular Corner spot since 1953.

A new generation of ownership has arrived to chaperone our hallowed institution into a future full of Gus Burgers. In 2021, 22 UVA alumni representing every decade from the 1960s to the 2000s became the next generation of owners of The Spot. Three of them worked here as undergraduates. We are proud to be the custodians of The Spot and intend to preserve the atmosphere and good food that have made this establishment a true Charlottesville and UVA treasure.
