PGA Tour Grill sits landside in Terminal T before security
This is CMH’s generic sports-bar option, and it’s pre-security, so you can meet friends or family here without a boarding pass. It sits in the public area of Terminal T, so build in extra time to clear the single main security checkpoint after you eat. Expect mid-range airport pricing in the $$ bracket, with most mains landing in typical $12–$18 territory.
The menu leans American with a light golf theme and some regional touches, flagged as a local · American concept by the airport. The headliner is the smoked turkey BLTA (bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado), which is the safest “house specialty” call if you’re stuck deciding. Portions run on standard bar-grill lines: sandwiches with fries or a side salad and predictable draft beer options at standard airport markups.
Because PGA Tour Grill is landside, it works best if you arrive at CMH more than 90 minutes before departure, eat here, then head through security to your gate in Terminal T. If your boarding time is inside 45 minutes, skip it and grab something closer to your gate post-security so you’re not sprinting through the checkpoint. Service pace in most reports for similar PGA-branded spots runs 20–30 minutes from order to check.
There isn’t much flyer chatter calling out standout dishes beyond the smoked turkey BLTA, so treat the rest of the menu like any chain sports bar in the Midwest. Think burgers, salads, and bar snacks priced in the low double digits, plus a few mid-shelf spirits that will cost you $10–$15 per pour. Don’t expect local craft-beer depth; the taps usually lean national and recognizable.
Tip: if you’re picking up an arriving passenger, this is an easy spot to wait with a sandwich, but keep an eye on their flight in the CMH app so you can head to baggage claim on time.
