Located just minutes from campus in Five Points on Greene Street, Salty Nut Cafe is well-known in the Columbia community for its tasty yet affordable menu and comfortable dining experience.

The Salty Nut menu has a variety of delicious options, from appetizers and salads to burgers, wings and wraps. Some of the stand-out favorites include appetizers like the popular buffalo chicken dip and fried pickles and the entrees include the “Homemade Pimento Burger,” which is a burger topped with your choice of homemade pimento cheese or jalapeno pimento cheese. Each Monday through Friday, Salty Nut features specials including “Mexican Mondays,” pint nights on Tuesdays, trivia and wings on Wednesday, $3 fireball on Thursdays and $5 premium liquor on Fridays. On top of that, each weekday from 4 to 7 p.m., Salty Nut offers a happy hour to all customers, and on Tuesdays, they host a ladies night from 10 p.m. to midnight.

With these deals, you can enjoy Salty Nut’s menu, its often-packed patio area and time with friends, even while on a budget.
