We’ve been to a lot of restaurants, but nothing beats coming home for the holidays and stuffing ourselves with family members’ tried and true best recipes. That’s kind of like what dining at this little restaurant feels like, except imagine that your family is full of chefs. Getting hungry yet?
Rutabaga Cafe is located in a tiny town called Chattahoochee that sits on the Florida-Georgia border.
It's not fancy, but it's full of rustic charm and possesses a wonderfully homey Old Florida feeling. The atmosphere will already have you swooning, but you'll truly fall in love when your meal arrives.
Guests can dine inside the cozy little house or opt for a table on the front porch or in the garden. At night, strings of tiny lights surrounding its perimeter like fireflies.
The menu is a collection of classics and creative daily specials. The fresh, farm-to-table ingredients and expertise of the chef elevate these dishes to the level of fine dining.
Rutabaga Cafe specializes in seafood, steaks, sandwiches, salads, and beloved Southern standbys like fried green tomatoes. Ever-changing specials mean you will always have a chance to try something new.
Rutabaga Cafe is open for lunch Tuesday through friday from 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and for dinner Wedneday through Saturday from 5:00 pm. to 9:30 p.m. The word is getting out about this little gem, so reservations are always recommended.
