Salty Nut Cafe,

2000 Greene Street, Columbia, SC 29205

"Salty Nut Cafe is a delightful spot that delivers on both taste and atmosphere. If you're in the mood for a casual dining experience with a local flair, this is a must-try."

"Best bar in Columbia SC, as a matter of fact in the whole world. I have been to many bars in my lifetime but no other bar has ever given me the satisfaction of happiness that the nut gives me! I come here all the time with my friends and we have all unanimously agreed that there is no place like the salty nut. I love this place and I will be coming here until the day I die. Service is incredible, bartenders really care about their customers and get the job done even when it is really busy (which is all the time). And the food is the best bar food I have ever had. You haven't really lived until you have experienced the experience that is, The Salty Nut."

"Loved this bar. Have to say, we chose to go here because of the appearance and the free parking. There is a back deck, the side deck and a front deck. We went inside and sat at the back bar. Now, I love a good bar and this place I loved. Andrew was the perfect bartender, very attentive, personable, knowledgeable. Food was great, prices very reasonable, atmosphere dive-ish. Lots of good draft beers, good selection of liquor. The best thing, however, was the clientele. I loved the diversity. 20 somethings to 80 somethings, black and white. Everyone having a great time and enjoying being there. I don't live in Columbia but if I did this might be my favorite place. Thoroughly enjoyed."

"Nice spot in 5 points for lunch. I love their choice in music, old school R&B, Soul and Classic Rock. The tater tots with cheese is a must try item. The lemon pepper wings were well seaaoned and fried hard. The cajun chicken salad my co-worker had looked great and she assured me it tasted just as great."

"This place is not upscale or quiet at all--it's a college bar and grill--but they always have good food. Service varies, but isn't bad, usually. Their chicken tenders are huge, delicious, and come out painfully hot--watch your fingers. The burgers are good, too. For a side, it's hard to beat their tater tots smothered in melted pimento cheese."
