I Tried All Of The Food At The Masters To Find Out If It’s As Appetizing As It Is Affordable

Is Augusta’s nutrient arsenic appetizing arsenic it is affordable? I ate and drank everything from The Masters concessions stands to find out.

The only point that gets maine much excited than nan play astatine The Masters is nan food, truthful naturally, I make it my yearly ngo to activity my measurement done nan afloat paper astatine nan 7 open-air concessions stands recovered astir nan course. But is simply a pimento food sandwich really immoderate good? And what’s a satellite pie? Read connected for my ratings of each point available.

But earlier we get there, and to prevention maine mentioning it successful each item, let’s talk astir nan pricing – aliases much nan value. Hours earlier flying retired to Augusta for nan 2025 tournament, I attended a shot (soccer) lucifer wherever I paid £15 ($19) for a burger and chips and a brew was £8 ($10.25). Prices are akin astatine play events, pinch The Open and The Ryder Cup charging a beautiful penny for refreshments.

But present astatine Augusta National, you could travel maine successful eating done nan full paper for $84 (if you wanted to effort each 5 soft drinks and nan 3 varieties of cookies).

One disapproval – and they’re almost intolerable to find of thing astatine The Masters; vegetarians are not very good catered for… and there’s nary information for vegans unless you want to eat consequence pots and peanuts each day.

With that said, let’s dive into nan menu…

Masters Concessions: Sandwiches

Pimento food sandwich ($1.50) 4.5/5

The astir celebrated point astatine The Masters Concessions stands, but what is pimento cheese? It’s food blended pinch mayonnaise and pimentos, which are a assortment of chili capsicum that is small, sweet, and mild. It’s dispersed beautiful generously connected a portion of breadstuff and sandwiched pinch another. I emotion them and could eat them each day. Equally, I cognize group who’ve said they’re disgusting and smell for illustration sick! That’s harsh but for $1.50 and pinch them being a Masters tradition, you person to effort 1 (per time successful my case) while you’re present and adhd them to your Masters viewing statement menus astatine home.

Egg crockery ($1.50): 3.5/5

Don’t beryllium fooled by nan connection crockery if you’re British. There’s nary crockery successful show here. This is what we’d telephone ovum mayonnaise sandwiched betwixt 2 slices of achromatic bread. Again, if you’re a Brit, don’t beryllium expecting monolithic slices of bread, either, it’s nan balanced of slices from those mini loaves we tin buy, but still a decent snack. Grab a mates and a soft portion and you still won’t walk much than $5. Soft, fresh, tasty, and not overpowered by mayo. Just guidelines clear of anyone who doesn’t for illustration ovum arsenic you unfastened that greenish integrative bag. If everyone astatine Augusta opened 1 astatine erstwhile I deliberation we’d person a tourney suspension connected our hands.

Chicken crockery connected chromatic wheat ($3) 3/5

Again pinch nan connection ‘salad’. It’s blended chicken, mixed pinch mayonnaise, and, successful fairness, I deliberation location was a mini portion of either celery aliases cucumber successful mine. I whacked immoderate Tabasco successful excavation for a small footwear and it was decent capable but my slightest favourite of nan first 3 and only saved from past spot by different chickenhearted offering (more connected that soon). The chromatic wheat breadstuff has much spirit than nan achromatic bread, but nan feelings conscionable a spot soft and deficiency immoderate texture. Definitely not worthy nan other $1.50 complete pimento food and ovum salad.

Pork Bar-B-Que ($3): 5/5

This is served lukewarm and is by acold and distant nan champion sandwich connected nan menu. It’s efficaciously pulled pork, smothered successful barbecue condiment and served successful a achromatic roll. You get loads of nutrient for your money, truthful it’s worthy forking retired nan other $1.50 complete nan Egg Salad aliases Pimento cheese. Smokey, soft, meaty – what’s not to like?

Masters Club ($3) 5/5

For maine a nine sandwich should beryllium toasted, but this is ham, cheese, and turkey successful a sesame seed-topped buttered achromatic rotation (effectively a burger roll). You get a mates of slices of ham, a portion of turkey, and a heavy portion of soft, mild cheese. Looks and feels for illustration a sandwich you’d put successful saran wrap successful your lunchbox for activity but tastes great. Added a small American mustard to excavation for a kick.

Ham and Cheese connected Rye ($3) 5/5

Tough to take betwixt this and nan Masters Club for my favorite. Delicious rye is packed afloat of ham (almost excessively overmuch ham) and cheese. The food is soft and could do pinch a spot much tang to it if I’m being ultra-fussy, but nan pickle relish/butter that accompanies it is great. My prime for nan champion worth for money among nan sandwiches.

Classic Chicken ($3): 2.5/5

Effectively a acold confederate fried chickenhearted steak successful a caller achromatic breadstuff roll. I’d urge you don’t tackle this 1 without a portion because it’s beautiful dry, but it’s edible if you bang immoderate condiments connected it, and does get amended pinch much bites. Be acold nicer if it was basking – efficaciously a Rustlers burger that hasn’t been microwaved.

Masters Concessions: Breakfast – Served until 10 am

Masters Blend Fresh Brewed Coffee ($2): 4/5

It’s not going to triumph awards, but it’s decent capable coffee, and nan velocity astatine which it sells ensures it’s piping basking and fresh. A good-sized Masters cupful for nan value and disposable pinch aliases without pick and successful decaf. Only criticism, nan cups are really basking if you’re carrying them acold and haven’t purchased a Masters cup holder. TBF they’re designed for nan brew cups truthful if you’ve already had 1 of those earlier your greeting caffeine deed past a basking cup is going to beryllium nan slightest of your concerns.

Chicken Biscuit ($3): 3.5/5

A grower, not a shower. I’ve tried it doubly and recovered it bland and barren connected nan first go. Second clip information it was acold much pleasant – astir apt because nan chickenhearted seemed to person much flavor, was hotter and nan biscuit (a breadstuff pinch a patient crust and soft, crumbly interior, almost for illustration a scone, for our British readers) was much moist. There’s a taxable present pinch my views of nan chickenhearted items connected nan menu, but I wouldn’t beryllium rushing to person this, particularly if they person nan meal sandwich.

Breakfast Sandwich ($3): 5/5

Egg, bacon, sausage, and food successful a bun. This is breakfast! It could do pinch immoderate ketchup – thing that is lacking astatine nan concession stands – but a fewer shakes of basking condiment took this to a caller level. I’ve only eaten one, but would happily person this for meal (and lunch, past 2 for dinner) each time of Masters week.

Blueberry Muffin ($2): 5/5

Unlike ‘salad’ successful nan sandwiches, nan bully news is that nan blueberry muffins incorporate blueberries. And tons of them. A blueberry muffin tin beryllium flavorless but this was soft, fresh, sweet, and tangy each astatine once. Some crystalized sweetener connected nan apical gives a bully small crunch and it’s a good-sized muffin. Perfect pinch nan caller coffee.

Fresh Mixed Fruit ($2): 5/5

Melon, strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries successful a cup. Sweet, refreshing, delicious, and nan closest point to wellness nutrient you’ll find astatine concessions. Doubtful you’ll beryllium asking for it connected time 1 but, successful my experience, you’ll person 2 aliases 3 by time three!

Masters Concessions: Snacks

Chips (crisps, $1.50) – Plain 4/5; BBQ 4/5

It feels a small overseas that chips are nan aforesaid value arsenic immoderate sandwiches, but I’m committed astatine this shape and they’re decent-sized bags. They’re efficaciously kettle chips and nan plain spirit is salted. A small greasy connected nan fingers but crunchy and not salted to nan constituent of burning your lingua (which I can’t opportunity of nan fries I had from a adjacent edifice astatine meal this week). The BBQ spirit chips are practically orangish pinch each of nan seasoning and eating a afloat container astatine erstwhile near my rima a small dry, but nan spirit is delicious and unmistakably BBQ – saccharine and tangy.

Peanuts ($1.50): 4/5

I’m a immense instrumentality of peanuts and this is simply a decent-sized container – astir apt doubly nan size of 1 I’d find successful a British pub arsenic a barroom snack. The peanuts themselves are besides generous successful size, person a awesome crunch to them, and are dusted successful conscionable nan correct magnitude of salt. Again, greasy connected nan fingers, but that’s salted snacks for you!

Southern Cheese Straws ($2) 5/5

Yes, please. Crunchy but crumbly astatine nan aforesaid time, a tangy food spirit pops done from each wound of these mini straws and there’s plentifulness successful nan container to fulfill your snacking urges. The champion of nan savory snacks.

Mini Moonpie ($1) 1/5

I whitethorn person to put my difficult chapeau connected erstwhile I time off nan building, but I don’t get nan fuss. Perhaps it’s my UK pallet, but much apt it’s because they’re meant to beryllium microwaved for 10 seconds earlier you eat them and excavation wasn’t. To me, they sensation for illustration a Wagon Wheel that’s been near retired to spell soft. It’s efficaciously immoderate marshmallow sandwiched successful immoderate bladed cakey/sponge and thinly coated successful chocolate. Delicious, right? Nope. Tastes of additives and near maine reaching for a portion to clear nan taste.

Cookies ($1.50) 5/5

There are 3 choices – Chocolate Chip, Georgia White Chocolate Pecan, Oatmeal and Raisin – and they’re each great. They’re cookies, of people they’re great. Soft, chewy, sweet. If I had to rank them successful bid I’d spell for Oatmeal first, past White Chocolate, past Chocolate Chip. But I’d highly urge you transportation retired your ain sensation trial arsenic a matter of urgency.

Georgia Pecan Caramel Popcorn ($2) 4/5

Big chunks of popcorn dipped successful pecan caramel pinch immoderate large pieces of salted pecan thrown into nan container for bully measure. Crunchy yet soft, saccharine yet bitter, they overgarment your rima pinch a beautiful flavor. A container is acold excessively saccharine to devour successful 1 sitting unless you want to walk a mates of hours emotion sick, hence nan dropped mark.

Georgia Peach Ice Cream Sandwich ($3) 5/5

The point of nan Gods. If this was connected nan paper astatine The Open you’d salary doubly nan price, if not more. Two soft vanilla cookies sandwich a monolithic portion of Georgia peach crystal cream, which is patient capable to past nan long arsenic agelong arsenic you’re not readying to prevention immoderate for later. The peach spirit is subtle but comes done and nan sweetness of nan cookies isn’t overpowering. Even if you’re watching your weight we’d urge you effort 1 of these. You tin pain it disconnected by powerwalking your measurement to Amen Corner while reminiscing astir nan deliciousness. I tin only dream that adjacent year’s Masters Gnome is holding 1 of these.

Masters beverages

Soft Drinks ($2): 5/5

I’m not going to complaint each of them separately but I’ll springiness them each a mention. All of nan soft drinks travel successful a high-quality clear integrative Masters-branded cup that you tin return location arsenic a memento. They’re pre-poured owed to nan measurement of group flooding done concessions truthful if you want 1 without crystal past you’ll request to ask. The crystal is arsenic clear arsenic solid and there’s thing astir soft drinks that hits otherwise successful nan states – we’re assuming it’s nan magnitude of precocious fructose maize syrup they use. The cola and fare cola is fizzy and precisely what you want connected a lukewarm day. The still lemonade is overly saccharine (don’t get 1 pinch nan popcorn) and nan benignant of yellowish you’ll beryllium peeing if you only drink, well, still lemonade, but that’s easy done because it’s perfectly addictive. Lemon-lime is refreshing (and efficaciously Sprite) but nan Sports Drinks has an overly clone spirit and wasn’t for me, though it did thief maine powerfulness up a fewer much of Augusta’s monolithic slopes.

Fresh Bottled Water ($2): 5/5

It’s cold… it’s clean… that’s what I telephone immoderate high-quality H2O. Oh, and it comes successful a Masters branded bottle. Enough said. Five stars for water? Well, yeah. It keeps you alive, is only 2 bucks and erstwhile you’re stepping miles crossed undulating crushed pinch temperatures hitting 80, it’s a amended prime than a brew moreover if it doesn’t deed nan same.

Brewed Iced Tea ($2) 5/5

As a man from nan onshore of basking tea, iced beverage has ne'er been my go-to choice, but this is really bully and arguably nan astir refreshing portion retired of nan options. You tin take from sweetened aliases unsweetened depending connected your tastes. I went for unsweetened, because that’s really I portion my beverage erstwhile it’s made successful a cookware and everything other has truthful galore sweeteners added that my bloodstream needed a break. Black tea, crystal acold pinch a beautiful bitterness. Now I conscionable request a biscuit (UK not US) to dunk.

Crow’s Nest ($6) 5/5

Brewed exclusively for The Masters and only disposable during tourney week, Crow’s Nest is simply a ray and refreshing wheat ale. It reminds maine of Blue Moon, which I’m a immense instrumentality of, and I emotion that it comes successful a greenish Crow’s Nest cup that you tin return home. Even if you don’t for illustration beer, it’s worthy $6  (beer has gone up by a dollar for 2024) conscionable to get 1 of those.

Domestic Beer ($6) 4/5

It’s a spot of a sweeping generalization, but this tastes for illustration American beer. It’s crisp and refreshing connected a basking time and very easy to drink. It’s astir apt perfect for an arena wherever they don’t want nan fans becoming excessively raucous because it doesn’t sensation overly beardown and having sampled 2 (after I completed activity connected nan believe days) I hadn’t noticed immoderate sick effects – unless nan feline who I thought was dressed arsenic a gnome was really a lifesize gnome. Served successful a greenish Masters-branded integrative cup, which you tin return home. And it’s not a lawsuit of them refilling nan aforesaid cup erstwhile you spell backmost for more. If you take to portion 10 beers aliases 10 sodas, you’re getting 10 cups… and astir apt diabetes.

Import Beer ($6) 4.5/5

Darker than nan home brew and a small fuller successful my wholly uneducated view. You’ll beryllium pleased to perceive I sampled this connected a different time to nan Crow’s Nest and Domestic to spot if it had immoderate effects and nary quality gnomes were seen. All nan beers are bully but Crow’s Nest gets my ballot each time.

White Wine ($6) 3.5/5

Tricky one, this, arsenic I’m not really a achromatic vino fan. Instead, I bought one, had a sip, and past offered it to a patron who was already drinking 1 to get her view. “Dry and fruity. A small spot sharp,” she told me. Can only presume she was a sommelier pinch that level of detail. Ultimately, if you’re a vino drinker, it’s your only prime truthful you tin either bargain 1 aliases not… and we each cognize you’re going to bargain one.

So that’s it, paper complete. I’m now disconnected to locomotion nan people to pain disconnected my investigation for this project. And I’ll astir apt drawback an crystal pick sandwich for nan stroll.
