“ We are visiting from Denver and had to check out all the vegan spots. This place is above and beyond 5 stars. We got the Cubano sandwich and the cowgirl burger with Mac n cheese, tots, and two cookies. Words really can't explain how much I enjoyed my Cubano. Holy cow!! Luckily Lincoln isn't too far away, so we will be back as often as we can. Samantha is wonderful and served us during our visit!! Thanks Samantha! ”

“ Rutabagas Comfort Food is an incredible all-vegan restaurant where 99% of the food is made from scratch. Their new location offers more entree options than before, which is a great update. (FYI There is no public restroom.) The food is consistently delicious, with creative and satisfying dishes that redefine comfort food. Many online photos are from their old location, but don’t let that fool you—the new space and menu are even better. Whether you’re vegan or not, this place is worth a visit for a tasty, thoughtfully prepared meal! ”
“ First time going today for dinner! AMAZING food! I have to eat dairy free due to my infant being allergic to dairy and I was able to get their Monster Mac and cheese and it was delicious! My very much “against” eating vegan husband for the Bahn Mi sandwich and even he was impressed and loved the food. We will 100% be returning regularly! ”
“ The food is absolutely delicious and the staff is so nice! Rutabagas came highly recommended by my coworkers and for good reason. We got the nachos, the Reuben, and a side of macaroni and cheese and everything tasted so good! I had been craving vegan macaroni and finally found a good place to get some at a decent price. Absolutely would recommend to anyone, but especially if you prefer a vegan diet. ”
“ WOW! This place was absolutely incredible, my husband was looking for a new place to try in Lincoln and wow are we glad we stopped in. Not pictured is the amazing Bahn MI my hubby got, but the mac and cheese was also incredible. We will be back so I can try out the Pulled Jackfruit. Also gonna have to leave room for dessert next time because the portions were very hardy. Such a cute place and incredible food that even a carnivore could appreciate ”
“ Wow! You must go here for the best food. We had the Cubano and Patty Melt sandwiches. Our side dishes were tater tots with special sauce. Everything was delicious! We will be back from Omaha to try other things on the menu. ”
“ This little restaurant deserves more than 5 stars. I absolutely love Sara (the owner) and her warm, welcoming restaurant. The food is like pieces of heaven, whatever you order, you won’t regret it because everything is so delicious. A couple years ago, I even had the chance to work here, but I had to leave the country and life went in a different direction. That experience made me appreciate this place even more. I highly recommend stopping by once you try the food, you’ll want to keep coming back over and over again especially if you’re nearby. ”
