Wondering what to eat at RBC Heritage in Hilton Head? Here are fan favorite spots
For many, RBC Heritage is an event where the focus goes beyond golf, but to the clothes, crowds and the food.
From the necessary to the bottled waters, fun spring drinks and a wide variety of lunch options, there’s plenty of fun new foods to try.
No matter if you’re more food-savvy than golf-savvy or just in desperate need of a mid-afternoon snack, here are some spots you can visit along the green and what they’re offering to spectators this year.
Food options
For all the concessions stands, SERG Restaurant Group is providing the menu and dining options. All items are priced anywhere between $2 and $14, providing a great choice for large groups to eat without breaking the bank.
This year’s menu offers 10 main meal options, including pulled-pork sandwiches, hot dogs, cheeseburgers, chicken sandwiches, wraps and salads.
If you’re in the mood for a snack, they’ve got you covered, too. From chips, pretzels, kettle corn, candies and desserts, your snack craving and sweet tooth won’t be missing out. You can also opt for an ice cream sandwich from Leopold’s in Savannah to beat the heat.
To complement your main menu item, you can add french fries or a chicken salad for $4.
With all of these great concession options, where are the top spots to stop?
Here’s where some of the convenient concession stands are located and what you can expect line-wise.
9th Hole Concessions
Located at the intersection between the 1st and 9th holes, the most popular concession stand sits among the busy roadways that carry hundreds of spectators around the Harbour Links course.
Fully equipped with shady seating and restrooms, this concession stand is the perfect spot for a pit stop for just you or the whole crew. While generally busy throughout the entire day, the lunchtime frame, around 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., is typically the busiest.
Other than SERG dining options, this concession stop hosts a food truck and Elijah Craig Bourbon tent if you’re hoping to pair a quick drink with your golf viewing.
USCB Concession Stand
On the opposite side, right along the 10th hole is the University of South Carolina Bluffton concession stand that is staffed by the university’s hospitality program students.
This stand is located at a great spot if you’re looking for a place to relax before heading up the 17th and 18th holes.
Also serving the SERG menu, this concession stand has earned its rightful place along the course. USCB has been partnering and volunteering with RBC Heritage for almost 17 years, according to their tent manager, Rebecca Pollard.
This year is particularly exciting, as it’s the first year these students have been able to hold a tent of their own.
“While the pro-golfers are certainly exciting to watch, my team is the most special part of this event,” Pollard said.
Similar to the 9th hole concessions, lunch hours are the busiest for this stand too.
Fraser’s Pavilion
A food round-up for the 2025 RBC Heritage wouldn’t be complete without mentioning defending champion Scottie Scheffler’s signature burger.
Luckily for spectators this year, they can have a first try at this signature burger right on the course at Fraser’s Pavilion, located by the 9th hole at the Harbour Town Clubhouse. While in a heavily trafficked location, the line is never too overwhelming if you need a quick bite to eat.
This burger blends all the flavors of Scheffler’s Texas homeland into one bite-sized delight.
It offers a fiery combination of brisket, short rib, applewood bacon, pepper jack cheese, jalapenos, crispy onions and Old Bay aioli.
Scheffler has been known for his Texas-inspired cuisine and love of burgers this year, even dubbing the name “Scottie-Style” to describe his way of adding french fries to the top half of his burgers.
If you want to try Scheffler’s Defending Champion Burger, you can visit Fraser’s Pavilion located by the 9th hole or at Fraser’s Tavern, and in Sea Pines at 100 North Sea Pines Drive.
