Rutabagas Comfort Food

Love their Bahn Mi sandwiches!

Looking for the tastiest burgers on the planet? None of that prefab [censored] here. Only the best quality made-in-house pattys are served in this charming and wonderfully decorated establishment. In fact, it seems that the entire menu needs devouring at some point, and so this will now be my go-to eats for the rare times I'm in Lincoln. Also, be sure to order some nachos....

We ate at the restaurant on 70th St. and I'm blown away. I always get a veggie burger when I try any new veg restaurant, and the Ruta-Original is unquestionably one of the best veggie burgers I've ever eaten in 35 years of being a vegetarian; the texture was perfect, the flavor was rich without attempting to emulate meat, and the sauce made me willing to do without ketchup (and I hardly ever go without ketchup!). The people working were super friendly and the atmosphere feels like you're hanging in a friend's house.

Where do I even begin — not only is Rutabagas the best vegan food I’ve had in my life, it is really just some of the best food you will find in Lincoln, period. I have been coming here all throughout college. The staff has truly created such a lovely environment and community here in Lincoln. Sara, and everyone else, is just so incredibly lovely and personable. I am going to be away from Lincoln soon for awhile and I already know I am going to miss this place so so much!!!

Tried the Banh Mi Sandwich with Roasted Broccoli and Fried Pickles. The pickles were fantastic, the sandwich was pretty good, and the staff were friendly.

Hard to pick from this menu. We got the fried pickles, nachos, and crab Rangoon nachos! All were amazing! Looking forward to trying the two macaroni dishes tomorrow!!

Incredible! Thank you!

My family and I love Rutabagas! I have enjoyed every item I have tried but especially love the Swiss Mushroom Burger.

Rutabaga’s has been providing wonderful vegan food since Sarah began with her very first meals many years ago. The Swiss mushroom burger is one of my favorites! The Cubano is my all-time favorite. I don’t know what a meat version taste like but this sandwich is fabulous. Sometimes I request it on sourdough and to have it grilled! The nachos are wonderful and I am a total sucker for the mac & cheese!!

Stopped in before the Husker game today. Nachos were delicious! Tried to order the peach cobbler from the Pre-game specials flier. Was told “sorry, that was advertised, it’s not available because no one made it” 😕
