Rutabaga's Market and Cafe

Sweet little nostalgic cafe! Open 10a-2p. Rustic, vintage, old-school eat-in or take out eatery. Hot sandwiches made one by one. Buy their exclusive recipe salsas, jellies and jams. Great place to meet a friend for lunch or dessert. Fun fact: Back in the day, this place used to be where a farmer sold his rutabagas, hence the name. Fun fact: They're bottling brand is the compilation of the daughter's names of the 2 lady owners. I had the steak and onion sandwich on grilled white bread (I added green pepper, just because I could) with potato salad and sweet tea. Yummy. Filling and hearty. After you go to this place, walk it off by visiting the quaint, little shops in the town of historic Hampton... quite charming!!

This is a very cute little Cafe located on the corner in downtown Hampton. Very cool atmosphere decorated with old rock and roll vinyl albums, old southern license plates etc. The staff were very polite and friendly. I had the steak and cheese signature sandwich. It has steak, sautéed onions , green peppers and cheese, I paired it with the potato salad. It was fantastic and they used baby reds, my favorite!!! The food was above excellent and I would highly recommend stopping in if you are hungry. You won't be disappointed.

I was very impressed by the food that they serve even though it was a to go pick up order. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich croissant and a side of broccoli salad. Chicken salad was great and I tasted pineapples and some kind of nuts. The sandwich is definitely not boring with all the textures it has. The croissant was flaky and delicious. The broccoli salad reminded me of the sweetness of coleslaw but with a fresh and crispy crunch. The salad also has bacon bits and pecans I believe. I will definitely be going back to try more of their menu items.

Wow, what an unexpected surprise. We had the bowls and they were amazing. The staff was very friendly attentive, and the place is just all around a great find. I will definitely be back.

Very kind and friendly cook. You can tell she cooks with love. Potato salad and chicken and dumplings never disappoint!
