Salty Nut Cafe

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.

Just came to say that I don’t even like burgers but I devoured the best pimento cheese burger I’ve ever had in my life here. Also the drinks are cheap.

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.

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.

Great place, very tasty food and a slightly cramped parking lot during busy times. It has more cameras than a big brother season, so I assume rather safe as well!

Incredibly awesome spot. My neice goes to USC and her and her friends brought us here. Such an awesome college town bar restaurant. Solid bar food with an incredible staff. Good work guys

service is horrible food is good but inconsistent, fries are good sometimes and soggy other times. They need to train staff better, I understand they are college students however they are unprofessional

Saltys has some of the best wings in Columbia but also counts as a great bar. Trivia nights on Wednesday are a blast.

Great atmosphere for a college town! Burgers are good and the server was great as well.

Very comfortable college town / sports bar atmosphere with inside and outside spaces where we found a friendly and attentive staff and a nice crowd of customers during our visit. Good selection of beers and drinks and the food was great.... We had the nachos which were plentiful and a very memorable burger that I would get again (although everything looked good on the menu so I will probably work my way through the other offerings too). They also have their own parking lot which is a plus for the Five Points area.
