Blueberry Hill (restaurant)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Blueberry Hill is a restaurant and bar located in the Delmar Loop neighborhood in University City, a suburb of St. Louis, Missouri. Legendary performer Chuck Berry performs there for one hour on a single Wednesday each month, downstairs in the Duck Room.

The restaurant is considered a St. Louis landmark, drawing tourists and locals during the day, and then becoming a popular hangout for university students in the evening, mostly from nearby Washington University. The restaurant is famous for its decor, its cheeseburgers, and its dart room. It is frequently mentioned by St. Louis-based announcer Bob Costas.

Joe and Linda Edwards opened Blueberry Hill on September 8, 1972. Since opening, the restaurant has expanded into the adjacent spaces on the east and the west, and it now occupies an entire block of Delmar Boulevard.

Outside the restaurant is the St. Louis Walk of Fame, the brainchild of Blueberry Hill's owner, Joe Edwards. The Walk lines the sidewalks on both sides of Delmar, with each star featuring the name of a St. Louis celebrity. New names are added each year.
