● Coming soon to Middle Tennessee
Smash burgers.
Dink shots.
Family nights.
Burger & Pickle is a backyard you get to borrow: scratch burgers off a flat-top, outdoor pickleball courts, lawn games and a patio built for the whole family, from first-time dinkers to league regulars.
Tap anywhere up here to serve a pickleball.
Three ways to spend a Saturday
Eat. Play. Hang out.
Most places make you pick between a good burger and something for the kids to do. We put the grill, the courts and the yard on one property, so nobody has to go home early.
Scratch smash burgers
Fresh beef smashed thin on a hot flat-top, crinkle-cut dill pickles on everything, and fried pickles you'll fight over.
Outdoor pickleball
Lit courts, half of them covered, with open play, reservations, leagues and free Pickleball 101 for beginners.
Lawn games & fire pits
Giant Jenga, cornhole and bocce on soft turf, with fire pits and a play corner in sight of the patio.
The Kitchen
Stay out of the kitchen. Unless you're hungry.
In pickleball, "the kitchen" is the zone by the net where you can't volley. At Burger & Pickle, it's where the flat-top lives. Here's the menu we're planning to open with.
Sides & sips

Make any burger a combo: +$5 adds crinkle fries or tots and a drink.
Planned opening menu. Items and prices will change before we open.
The Courts
Never played? Perfect.
Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in America, and it's easy enough to learn in an afternoon. Our courts are lit for evening play, and half sit under a covered pavilion with fans and heaters so a little rain or August sun doesn't end the game.
The Yard
Grab a table where you can see the kids.
The yard sits between the patio and the courts, so parents can finish dinner while the kids knock over giant Jenga. Games are free with any order.

Parties & groups

Book a covered pavilion, a court or two and a burger bar. We handle the food, the paddles and the cleanup.

Questions
Good questions.
When do you open?
We're choosing our first property now. Join the waitlist and you'll hear the opening date before anyone else.
Do I need to know how to play pickleball?
Not at all. Paddles and balls are available at the counter, and our free Pickleball 101 clinics teach the basics in about an hour.
Is it really for families?
That's the whole idea. Kids' meals, a play corner, lawn games and courts that work for a 9-year-old and a grandparent.
What happens when it rains or it's 95 degrees?
Half the courts are planned under a covered pavilion with fans and heaters, and the dining room opens right onto the patio.
Can I book a birthday or team party?
Yes. Party booking opens as soon as we set an opening date, and waitlist families get the first calendar dates.
