Spotted Salamander is a charming bistro in Columbia serving Southern delights like deviled eggs and pimento cheese, perfect for a cozy lunch outing.
"All meals at Southern cafe Spotted Salamander should start with the pimento cheese plate with toasted baguette and perhaps a few deviled eggs. There’s also the substantial fatty brisket sandwich with apple slaw, melty pimento cheese, and pickles." - Erin Perkins
"Before the cafe opened, chef-owner Jessica Shillato of Spotted Salamander had quite a following as a caterer for private parties and special events. Each delicious dish highlights Shillato’s love for local ingredients and Southern cooking. Deviled eggs with special additions like bacon and blue cheese take the edge off of a midday appetite but leave plenty of room for mains like the Spotted Salad, with sweet tea vodka barbecue chicken, bacon, cheddar, tomatoes, Adluh cornbread croutons, mixed greens, and buttermilk ranch dressing. Watch the Spotted Instagram for specials like blue crab rangoon or bacon-wrapped Bradford okra with roasted tomato ranch. The desserts here are legendary, and customers can’t resist taking home an oatmeal cream pie or a slice of chocolate cookie butter pie for “later” (i.e., in the car on the way back to work). Spotted Salamander is expanding its offerings in a second location this year (1441 Main Street), starting with breakfast sandwiches." - Anne Wolfe Postic
