    Came here for quick before the museum opened. Place has an eclectic vibe, booths tables and patio seating. Overall very nice decor and friendly staff. It's a big menu, lots of salads, wraps and sandwiches. According to server, they are know for the enchiladas. Opted for sandwiches, pretty good club sandwich, really big. Overall a nice cafe and will visit again when in the area.

    Chicken salad

    Rutas has been a Fullerton staple for probably 40 years! Their food is spectacular. Everything is fresh. Everything is healthy and they have a very large diverse menu and something for everyone, oh and did I say delicious something for everyone? I'm one of those people that usually gets the same thing and mine is the garlic chicken salad and the cocky leaky soup. The service is friendly and warm and the place is adorable and so inviting.

    I love the eclectic vibe of Rutabegorz, as well as their extensive menu featuring vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options. These options are labeled on their website menu, but were missing on the in-house restaurant menus. Luckily I had decided what I wanted earlier when looking at their website, so I knew what would be gluten free or not. You can seat yourself and a server will come to you. Service was pretty quick and friendly throughout our visit. We started with the chips and salsa. The chips were thick with a good crunch. I ordered the Italiano salad, which came loaded with veggies and garlic chicken and dijon vinaigrette. The salad was huge, and they provided ample cheese and olives. The artichoke hearts and the olives threw me off as neither had much flavor, and the dressing was very mild for a dijon vinaigrette. I enjoyed the size of the salad, but the combination of the ingredients didn't mix well somehow. My husband had the Walnut that Kissed the Chicken sandwich, a chicken salad sandwich on Indian Grain bread. It came with a cup of macaroni salad and a slice of cantaloupe. He enjoyed his sandwich. I plan to return and try something else on the menu, like the chicken tortilla soup.

    Came for a work lunch on a Tuesday for the first time and was surprised by how big the place was and found a table right away! Serving sizes are large so definitely shareable and great for eating family style. Everything we got was good and tasted freshly made; especially the huge salad. Service was good, wait staff were attentive and nice. The carrot cake was good and a must try. I definitely would come back with the family.

    I appreciate the vegetarian options, but the delivery just isn't there. At least make the food taste good, please. I was incredibly disappointed after my visit here. My husband was equally confused by all of the raving reviews. How does this place have so many good reviews? I just don't get it. The food was so bland. Sure, there was lots of veggies. The veggies were fresh. I'll give them that. The dishes just didn't come together well. My salad was very lackluster. The dressing had no flavor. It was like eating veggies with water on them lol I couldn't take it. The salad was unappetizing. I ordered hummus with pita bread. The pita bread was wheat. It was gross. The hummus itself was decent though. I ordered the macaroni and cheese with no bacon. It just wasn't good. The sauce was a runny cheese with some grated cheese sprinkled on top. The cheese on top wasn't melted. I didn't care for the flavor with the sun dried tomatoes. Just not my cup of tea. I basically didn't like anything here. Service was fine. Except for the fact that the waitress saw that I didn't eat any of my food, and she didn't even think to ask if everything was okay. That was odd to me. Ambiance was not crowded, but it wasn't dead. There were a lot of older folks there dining.

    I felt like I had walked into someone's home when I visited Rutabegorz yesterday!! It was so warm, cozy, and very comfortable. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor space for eating and different sized groups. The menu was so extensive that it took us a while to decide what to order. Our Italiano and Mediterranean Salads were delicious and plentiful. The Turkey wraps were bursting at the seams and loaded with deliciousness. We can't wait to go back there and try some of their smoothies, bagels, and other munchies on the menu. Thank you Rutabegorz for your friendly service and your appetizing menu items.

    Rutabegorz has two locations: Orange and Fullerton. Never been to one till today. The ambiance here in the Fullerton location is big, quaint interiors and friendly service. They have outside seating so they most likely get very busy during the night and weekends. We ordered their nachos and dip of the day. Their dip tasted great with a hint of tamarind- love it. I also ordered their Strawberry beer ale and latte. Had a great time dining here.

    garlic chicken sandwich

    Rutabegorz ticks all the boxes! Fresh, delicious, healthy, terrific ambience, and impeccable service. Our server accommodated my friend's requests with such grace (she's extremely particular)! I was initially overwhelmed with so many options, but I decided to go with the garlic chicken sandwich. The portion was HUGE and so tasty! Caveat: when they say garlic, they MEAN garlic - and a TON of it! I had garlic emissions for a couple of days. There is ample indoor seating in addition to a lovely covered patio out back.

    10/10 BBQ Chicken Fiesta Salad - This is hands down one of my top favorite salad spots--especially this particular location. The salads are absolutely massive, and everything is incredibly fresh. They're generous with all the ingredients, so you're never left feeling like something's missing. Plus, they offer a great variety of dressings to choose from, which makes customizing your salad even better. 10/10 Artichoke Dip - This is also our go-to appetizer! So delicious! Cost - BBQ Chicken Fiesta Salad $17.50 (before tax and tip). Artichoke Dip $8.50 (before tax and tip). 1w

    Garlic chicken salad
    Judy D.

    It's a healthy lunch restaurant option in dtf with vegan, turkey and chicken options. I opted for the garlic chicken salad in a big bowl and the salad was huge. But the salad was so good I finished all. Definitely recommending this salad here. Service was phenomenal super friendly employees here. Also the patio seatings are dog friendly.

    One of their amazing salads

    OMG this place gets better and better every time I come Buddy of mine made his first visit today and was blown away by the quality of food, the variety and the service The other buddy I was with discovered this place a month ago and he's already been here eight times and he said he could eat here every day of the week The menu is like a phonebook. Unmatched salads soups are as good as you you'll find anywhere and OMG the quinoa bowl is worth the price of admission The service is great and the guy that runs the place is Dane. Make sure you look him up and tell him how great his restaurant is he might give you a cookie.!!! Great reason to go to downtown Fullerton I got one word : Rutabegorzs!!!

    Garlic chicken sandwich
    Katelynn R.

    This place has so many options for meat eaters, vegetarians, and vegans. Their artichoke dip is absolutely delicious! The chips are fresh and salty too. Perfect appetizer! Their salads are big and flavorful. I got the garlic chicken sandwich and it was so good! The roll made it garlicky and flavorful. Service is attentive and nice (I didn't have to ask for a refill once). We got there right when they opened and sat wherever we wanted. The outside is a great shaded area to enjoy a wonderful meal.

    Sooo, I recently heard that a lot of Robeks franchise owners left the franchise system to run…read moreindependent shops instead, and that's how Nature's Juice was born. If anyone from corporate wants to give me some closure here about whether this location reopened under the same owner but with a new name and concept, that'd be appreciated. It's been keeping me up at night and I need to know peace, LOL.. Anyway, I am president of the Peachy Kean smoothie's fan club. Muscle mommies around the world are rejoicing about their super clutch free add-on for this menu option, which I use for a scoop of whey protein every time. If you haven't tried this drink, you're missing out such a flavor explosion. If you're skipping the whey protein, you're missing out on gains. I hope they open another listing location in my part of OC soon!

    I really enjoyed the smoothie I got from Nature's Juice. The cashier was very friendly and helpful,…read morewhich made the experience even better. I ordered the PBJ smoothie, and it was delicious. It honestly reminded me of a smoothie version of a PB&J Uncrustable, which I personally love, so it was right up my alley. The flavor was well balanced and very satisfying. The space itself is on the smaller side. When I visited, there weren't any stools or seating available, so it felt more like a grab-and-go spot. I'm not sure if that's permanent or just how it was that day. Pricing felt very fair for what I got, and overall it's a solid spot that I'd definitely come back to.
