Trying to figure out what happened to Rutabega. We’ve made reservations online twice within last 2 months and finally after no response we drove down and discovered a locked and lonely building.. is the restaurant closed for good? We would love to be able to buy Red Velvet Cheesecake!

0/10 place and management is horrible. The boss is a notorious scam artist that plays this nice guy roll. Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if he goes under soon. Go at your own discretion.

Heard it was a good little restaurant. Made reservation and drove down from Tallahassee. When we arrived it was dark and locked up. Waited about 10 minutes then left. Wont be back.
Excellent dinner. Husband's fish dinner was the best he's had in a restaurant.

So I decided to accept my wife's offer for a father's day dinner and try the Rutabaga Cafe. The sign outside said cash only, not a good sign, and it only got more interesting from there...We walked in and waited a good 5 minutes before other patrons told us to sit where we liked. We sat down for about 5 more minutes and the only waitress took our drink order. About 10 minutes later, our drinks arrived, but 20 minutes in we still didn't have a menu.I ordered the special, Key lime shrimp, my wife had something called red velvet chicken and my daughter ordered shrimp and grits. At first we were told they were out of grits, then we were happy to learn they found some. I attempted to order a side of mushrooms and onions, but apparently they were out. How do you run out of that?When the food arrived everything was hot and looked good but I was missing something, shrimp. In place of it was a steak? I was told the shrimp were frozen and to keep the steak while they try to get my shrimp thawed and cooked.The steak was cooked medium and was tender and seasoned well. The shrimp and grits were good if a bit under-seasoned. I spent several years in New Orleans, so the bar on that is pretty high.The red velvet chicken was on the sweet side, not my preference, but was cooked well and my wife loved it.Eventually I did get my shrimp and they were good. In total we spent 1 hr and 45 minutes here and probably waited on something for an hour of that.All in all, the food was very good but I don't think I will be coming back any time soon.
