Thank you to the wonderful servers that made time to serve me even though you were closing up. You're just great! The beer was delicious and the location perfect to have a quick drink. But 5 stars absolutely for service that's just awesome read more

Burning Brick Tavern - West cost ipa - Burgers Near Me - Pickens, South Carolina

Clean pool hall during the day. Great lunch specials, the burger was great, and there seemed to only be one server and she was excellent.

I've only been there several but yeah, I hear it keeps getting better. I'm anxious to go back and see what kind of food they have. I heard the wings were good but it seems like the last time I ate there which has been a few years back. You had order food from somewhere else looking forward to trying it downtown. Pickens is a special kind of place for me. read more

I think the wings are hands down the best thing about this place. My wife and I came to the area for a quick weekend getaway. We ordered a couple burgers and wings and while the burger was quite good the wings stole the show. Get the wet garlic wings. It was like a butter bath with tons of garlic. The service was good, they were a little busy on a Saturday night which is to be expected. The whole spot has a cool vibe - modern touches but also down to earth. read more

This place has got to be the slowest restaurant service wise. Thai is my third time here. We ordered wings and a salad with chicken tenders. It's been almost 40 minutes and we still don't have our food! Last time we will ever come. The first time we never received one of the food items we ordered. We gave them a pass since it was a pub crawl and it was busy. It's not that busy and it's 7 PM. We receive the bill and there is a Reg Fee. I asked what it was for and was told they thought it was for using a card but they would let me know. I used cash. Never saw them again. I went to them asked for a receipt. Then I was asked if I wanted my change. Weird since I paid with exact change. The Burning Brick charges you for using a card. I assume the server decided to keep the difference. So if you leave a cash tip, they are also keeping the fee and the discount for themselves. I will never go back. read more

Great burgers, great price! We stopped at this casual spot after a hike on a cold day and we were pleased with the burger lunch special. Perfectly done burger, nice size patty, very generous amount of fries and a garlic pickle. Service was fast and efficient. We were super hungry and this hit the spot - LOL! read more

Burning Brick Tavern - Burger and fries lunch special - Burgers Near Me - Pickens, South Carolina

It's an adorable little hidden gem! Our waitress was fantastic (I'm sorry I didn't catch her name). The service was a bit slow - it was a Wednesday night at 6:45, and not crowded at all. My steak panini was delicious, but I couldn't eat my side salad bc it was made with shredded lettuce and I got too frustrated trying to keep it on my fork. My hubby's chicken strips were 'okay', but the skinny fries were great. There were 2 'questionable' charges on our bill: an .85 service charge and an extra .25 for a 2nd ranch dressing that we hadn't been told about. Nothing major, but still unexpected. The restaurant was clean, as was the restroom. All in all, it was an enjoyable experience. read more

Worst bar/restaurant in Pickens. The food is terrible. It tastes like frozen food that is microwaved and served to you. the staff is rude unless you're one of the regulars. Check your tab and make sure they don't add any extra charges on it. And check your drink for gnats. I had a gnat frozen inside an ice cube. Probably best to avoid this cess pool and spend your money somewhere else. There are plenty of options that are more inviting and way cleaner. 0/10 do not recommend. read more

food was good, but they killed the olaf toilet :/ minus one star because the dining experience truly was not the same without that delightful little fellow read more

Burning Brick Tavern - Burgers Near Me - Pickens, South Carolina

I was passing through town after camping for the weekend and I needed a good hot meal to fuel me for the road. The Burning Brick Tavern hit the spot! Pickens is such a cute town and the restaurant is right in the heart of their Main Street in a brick building with lots of parking around. I went in and was told I could pick a seat wherever I like, which is nice! My server Wendy was really sweet and attentive. She took my order right away and the food took about 5-10 minutes to come out. I ordered loaded potato skins with bacon and cheese, a cheeseburger, and a house salad for my side. I demolished it all! The salad was chopped and fresh. The potato skins were hot and savory and done just right. The burger stood out on the menu because they're made in house 100% beef patties, and a burger is either delicious or a flop. It was delicious! I found out from Wendy that they have a front patio, a back patio, and even an upstairs that is a little more upscale of a setting. The CUTEST part was the dumbwaiter she used to send the food upstairs! It's a small elevator used to take things upstairs and I haven't seen one in a long time. What a creative way to save time running up and down the stairs! Wendy was also just a pleasure to chat with, as I was by myself, and she was multitasking making drinks, serving food, taking orders, and sweeping floors. Give this woman a raise - or a paid vacation so she can go check out the waterfall I recommended to her! Overall this was a great place to eat and I would definitely return again. read more

Wish I could give a zero star. Walked in around 540 pm on a Saturday. Sat near the bar and was passed multiple times by the staff. Finally stopped one and asked for a menu and was not asked if we wanted anything to drink. It is now 554 and we walked out without even being spoken too. read more

Cocktails, food and service was great!! Great prices on everything!!! My only complaint is they had no music playing.

I ordered the "Southern Burger". The burger was scrumptious and the home made sweet potato fries were excellent. Not sure what the bartenders names were but they were very friendly and attentive. Always love finding a great hole in the wall while traveling read more

Just driving through looking for somewhere to eat. Had good reviews so we thought we'd give it a try. It's a bar and pool hall as mentioned. Not much to look at inside but don't be fooled. The food is awesome. We both had the lunch cheeseburger with skinny fries and a drink. Probably cheaper than the burger chain down the street. And so much better. Burger was still hot through and through. Cooked perfectly. Love skinny fries and cooked to perfection. A tad bit too salty. They have a honey mustard that is was top notch. Service was superb. Very friendly, checked on us often but not too much. Definitely coming back. read more

This is my go to spot whenever I am in the Pickens area. The food is good and their prices are reasonable with great daily drink specials. I've had their appetizers, sandwiches, burgers and salads and all were tasty. My favorite is wing night Tuesday. They have a wide assortment of flavors for $.75/wing. The service has been very good except for once on a night they were very busy. The atmosphere is casual and you can shoot a game of pool while you wait on your order. This place is the best for drinks, a meal and conversation with family and friends. I'm not sure if they have more TV's in their upstairs area but downstairs would not be good if you are looking for a place to watch the big game. read more

yes I was going here the pastrami sandwiches were heavenly awesome.. and seven bucks I couldn't go wrong... but then they turn the garbage.. I told the waitress but she didn't do anything.. so all I have is this bad review bad experience and a failure to patronage.. they had a big tall guy making them long time ago I don't know where he went but they were really good the pastrami was very good there's something wrong with it now...... read more

Passing through town and stopped here for lunch. We had a super sweet server and the food was delicious. I had their Ruben sandwich, kids had wings and husband had a grilled chicken sandwich. Love their chips and salsa (we're from Texas so we are picky) and their sweet potato fries too!!! Will come back the next time we're in town! read more

I ate there on my birthday. The food was delicious and the service was good. The salad was fresh and I'll go back for sure.

Destroyed the food before I could even make it home. Fast service and the place seemed very laid back and a good place to hang out and play some pool. read more

Waiter was very nice and helpful. Food on the other hand was basically soggy frozen food. No taste.

Just walked in sat table Few people at bar 2 worker behind bar. Sat there for several minutes no one spoke to us or anything. Got up walk out... read more

We had the burger lunch special- what an awesome value! Our waitress was great as well. Highly recommend this spot

The Rodeo Burger was absolutely amazing!!!!! Speedy service and great friendly staff. The Price is great!!!!!! Definitely will come back if in the area and highly recommend!!! read more

We was camping nearby and found them on Yelp. We had burning brick burger, spicy teriyaki wings and fries. Everything was GREAT! We camp a few times a year and the area and will definitely be back!!!!! Maybe even this trip. read more

A great meal at a great price; a good-sized burger, fries, a sweet tea and two beers for less than 20 bucks! The service is good and the environment is laid back. Great place! Thanks! read more

Burning Brick Tavern - The Plain Burger, fries, sweet tea and a nice Dos XX! - Burgers Near Me - Pickens, South Carolina

I have to admit this was a surprisingly nice find. Great prices. The Southern burger and Cuban sandwich were fantastic. My cocktail was admittedly just ok. The atmosphere was nice and laid back. It does take a while for everything to come out, so prepare to spend some time there. Wait staff was small but nice and gave good suggestions. I particularly appreciated that no one was rushing to get you out the door. I feel rushed at most restaurants these days so being able to sit and enjoy the meal with a friend was lovely. If you sit near the pool tables just be cautious. A young man launched a cue ball a few times. All in all a good experience. I will definitely come back. read more

Decent lil tavern. Burger was good, onion petals were the best, and the beer selection was mediocre. They have two floors, I prefer the upstairs. read more

Awful service, the owner and all the bartenders are rude. They only care about the people that go there everyday. They lie and are just disrespectful and the food is disgusting. Never going again. Worst bar in South Carolina for sure! read more

The food is great, the beer is cold and Wendy is one of the best server's I have encountered anywhere. This place has it all including great atmosphere! Stop in for lunch or at night for some pool and good cold beer... read more

Food and beer is good. Friendly staff and fun atmosphere. Karaoke is always fun. They also have BINGO and Trivia nights.

Andrea was very nice and very helpful. She was bartending. The food was great the burger was great. My wife had the philly flatbread and that was even better. All great place. Thank you for the experience. read more

I've been here twice now and I've fallen in love with the Burning Brick Burger! I think I could eat one almost every day if I just lived closer. Bacon on a burger is always a good start, but the pepper jack cheese, well seasoned patty and Smokey flavor make this an awesome burger! It's not dry and over cooked like some. The sweet potato fries were also wonderful, though I wasn't as pleased with the homemade potato chips. Service was great both times and if you need more ambiance than a pool hall, wait until 5 and go upstairs. What can I say - it IS a tavern, after all. Go get addicted (to the burger). Have to change my rating based on my most recent visit. This time the burger was dry and less flavorful than previous times. It may have just been a different cook, but the food in a restaurant should be consistent. read more

Cool atmosphere to hang out and have a few drinks but the food is nothing to brag about. I know several that like to hang out there just to get hammered. Prices are high for what you get in return. I had high hopes when they 1st opened but the best thing I could say about this place would be they have an actual "real" bartender. Knowledgeable on a variety of drinks and they are made correctly, also clean, polite and positive attitude. I actually went to school for bartending/ mixology graduated 2nd in my class and was impressed to see those skills. Burning Brick has the #1bartender in town and probably top 5 in the county. read more

For a casual night out with my guy, like this place. Food and beer selections are great!!!

The food was GREAT. Escaped for a quick date night and was initially concerned when we went into a mostly empty restaurant around 7:30 and were asked if we were "looking for someone." Uhh... no, but we would like a table! That's when I spied an upstairs seating area and we went up there and sat ourselves. The waitress was nice and helpful and we ordered the Burning Brick Burger and the Last Burger and enjoyed them tremendously. The music was country-rock-pop that got progressively worse as the night went on. My husband believes they play bad music to encourage people to play their own songs on the pay per jukebox. I agree! We will be back, but with the expectation that we will need to seat ourselves upstairs next time. (And maybe bring some headphones or extra cash for the jukebox!) read more

This place is amazing!!!! Everything we ordered was delicious! The price is reasonable too. The location is very deceiving!!!! We got both the shrimp taco and the pork taco and ordered more. The wings are to die for and my husband loved the homemade cole slaw. Waiting for dessert to come out, but I have no doubt it will be better than expected! read more

Great spot for dinner and drinks. They have a bar upstairs and downstairs. Nice atmosphere upstairs if you want to listen to music or grab a bite to eat. The food is very good from burgers to wings or sandwiches everything I have had on the menu has been really good. Friendly staff. Located on Main Street in Pickens. They also have pool tables on the bottom floor if you would like to shoot pool. If your in Pickens make sure to stop by the brick! read more

Burning Brick Tavern - Burgers Near Me - Pickens, South Carolina

Worst restaurant on the east coast. I started my night expecting to get a few drinks and some quick food. Little did I know that I'd be stuck here for the next two hours dealing with rude servers. I will never come back. I hope all of you use this as a warning, and never eat here ever. read more

Driving down Main Street in Pickens, you would never think that this place would be good!? I was wrong. Phenomenal food. Phenomenal service. I will be back. read more
