I've tried everything on the Masters menu... here's what to buy and what should be avoided at Augusta National
A golf fan has given his verdict on the iconic food menu at Augusta National, ranking all the options out of 10 ahead of this year's Masters.
Concessions are one area where the exclusive club prefers to keep matters more simple, with nothing on the menu costing more than $6.
Alongside Augusta staples such as the pimento cheese sandwiches - which cost just $1.50 - the tournament has added a couple of new items for 2025. A 'savory tomato pie' now available for $3, while patrons can buy apple slices for $1.50.
According to 'Rick Golfs', however, the tastiest item available remains the $1.50 egg salad sandwich. The best deal, they argue, is the pork bar-b-que sandwich which costs $3 and often sells out in no time.
Many other items score more than 8/10 in his rankings, including the breakfast sandwich ($3), the chicken biscuit ($3) and Georgia pecan caramel popcorn ($2).

But several options were given less glowing reviews, with patrons told to avoid the Southern cheese straws ($2), the chicken salad sandwich ($3) and the potato chips ($1.50).
A place in the galleries at Augusta remains one of the most prized tickets in sports, with reports estimating that only 40,000 fans are allowed inside the gates from Thursday through Sunday.
Augusta offers them a number of snacks that have a local twist, including southern cheese straws ($2), Georgia pecan caramel popcorn ($2) and Georgia peach ice cream sandwich ($3).
Some items have increased in price, including cookies and peanuts (up $0.25 on last year). But, in total, the entire menu would still cost a patron just $77.
The most expensive items on the menu are wine and beer including the 'Crow's Nest', which is served exclusively at the four-day tournament.
