Pickens Golf Club · Est. 2024
Our Story
More than a clubhouse. A gathering place for great food, cold drinks, and true Carolina hospitality.
Where it all started
Nestled inside Pickens Golf Club beside Carolina Camp Cedar, Tavern 53 was born from a simple idea: create a place where everyone feels welcome—whether you've just finished 18 holes or you're looking for the perfect spot to grab lunch with the family.
Since opening our doors, we've been serving up comfort classics with a twist—smash burgers that'll make you forget every burger you've had before, pizzas with that perfect crispy crust, and chicken and waffles that keep folks coming back week after week.
What We Believe
Three pillars that guide everything we do at Tavern 53
Great Food
Every dish is made with care using quality ingredients. From our hand-pressed smash burgers to our scratch-made pizzas, we believe in food worth savoring.
Cold Drinks
Whether it's a local craft beer, a perfectly mixed cocktail, or a glass of wine, we take our drinks as seriously as our food. Always cold, always refreshing.
Southern Hospitality
We're not just serving meals—we're building community. Everyone who walks through our doors is treated like family, because that's the Carolina way.
More than just food
At Tavern 53, we've created a space where memories are made. Catch the game on one of our screens, celebrate a birthday with friends, or simply unwind after a long day—whatever brings you here, we're glad you came.
Our bar is stocked with local craft beers, signature cocktails that tell a story, and wines carefully selected to complement our menu. And yes, you don't have to golf to eat here—everyone's welcome at our table.
