The food was excellent, we had cheeseburgers, sweet potato fries, and regular fries. We also had a pretzel with beer cheese. We were coming back with our dog from table-rock and this place accommodated us with our dog. It’s in door and outdoor and they also have live music! I will be returning soon, I enjoyed my experience!

I stopped in when I was in Pickens for work and could not be happier that I came here! My ham sandwich was to die for, and I am not even a really big ham person, but this was absolutely spectacular. All the arugula and apples tasted so fresh and crisp and the goat cheese just made it a thing of dreamsss! The ham was thick without being difficult to bit through and you get SO MUCH of it. Not to mention the bacon! You can tell all of the ingredients are really good quality food. I also had the sweet potato fries which were crispy on the outside and soft and sweet on the inside and made for the perfect side.
The atmosphere is perfect to hang out and relax and there are heaters so don’t worry when it starts to get cold. The server at the bar explained that you order everything up there which makes it easy to get refills or anything else you need. Then you just pick a table inside the building (open doors) or outside and you can just hang out and relax! I am trying to find reason to go back to Pickens just so I can come here again, but quite frankly, this place is reason enough!

Great local place! The atmosphere is very inviting and comfortable and the service is consistently accompanied by a friendly spirit and warm smile. The tomato soup not only tastes amazing but is also presented beautifully. The pretzels are massive and superb. Crispy outside with a soft and light inside, served with the Bee Well honey mustard for dipping. In short, the Open Door never disappoints.

Best soft pretzel I’ve ever had in my life. Only complaint is that the buffalo chicken sandwich is hard to handle, but the only fix would be to have less chicken, so I don’t know if that’s a valid complaint 🤣

Really good food. Relaxed atmosphere. A smidgen pricey, but what isn't these days. Music was good. Nice outside/inside seating. U don't feel separated from what's going on inside yet you're sitting outside.

Great find!! Which something like this was in other small towns, like Inman, Campabello and such. Tired of fast food. Service was very friendly and food was good. Not a large menu, but is covered plenty of choices. Wish I didn’t live so far away!!

Stopped by after a hike in the mountains.. Great place with amazing food, sweet staff, and kid/pet friendly. Everything was fantastic but in comparing to other eateries, a little overpriced for what you get. $18 for a 6 oz burger in a plastic tray and drink in a clear solo cup was a little much for an outdoor casual dining experience for my opinion. $15 for a grilled cheese? Overall, it was good and I wish them the best.

We certainly needed a place like this in our little town of Pickens. It was absolutely delicious!!!! We got the smash burgers and I have to say it was the best burger we have ever had. And I could not believe all of the soft pretzels everyone was getting. We will be going back again and again. The service was excellent too, very, very nice people. Everyone has got to try this place, 10 Stars!!!!!
Not sure why I haven't wrote a review yet about The Open Door, but it is overdue! Chill atmosphere, live music, kid and dog friendly. I have never had a bad meal here. They have weekend specials, which are typically a creative dish with fresh and local ingredients! You won't be disappointed if you try this place out!

We love this unique place with great food, great staff and we always have a great time! They keep the garage door open so you can mingle outside where they have a few games or inside where they have a music venue on different days. (not sure what the schedule is though) They serve beer and wine, soda and tea and you have to try either pretzel... huge regular salted or a chocolate sauce one that we love! We have never had anything we don't love so far.

Always an amazing hang for lunch or dinner! The Open Door has a great atmosphere, good vibes, cold drink, & good eats! 🍻 A well rounded menu for everyone in the family or friend group! Always love the live music, and it has plenty of TVs for the sporty type! The pretzel is ALWAYS a must have! 🥨 Exactly what Pickens needed, one of our favorite spots! 🤘🏻
