Parking: There's actually a small driveway at Rutabegorz and it leads to a small parking lot behind the restaurant. There's also free street parking around the circle and a free parking garage on Maple & Lemon. Restaurant: It's so cute! There's patio seating outside, or inside seating that looks like you're in someone's living room. Menu: Extensive! There are so many options to choose from and all the meals are a pretty good portions. So many sandwiches, salads, wraps, pastas, omelets, etc. everything! Everything is fresh and the service is great! read more

Rutabegorz - Pumpkin hummus - Wraps Near Me - Orange, California

This is hands-down the best location! Not only is the garden and patio dining beautiful, seriously it feels like an enchanted cottage garden, The food is great, the service is fantastic and they brought our order out quickly too Came on a late Saturday morning for Mother's Day brunch everywhere else seem to be very busy for the weekend Mom's but they seated us pretty quickly. The table next to us had a bit of a mishap with the umbrella where their entire table flipped over, drinks were spilled, someone fell out of their chair but the management came out and apologized and quickly helped them get back to their brunch. Nobody was hurt but I hope they got free drinks or dessert at least!! read more

Came to Old Town Orange, nice area with many options to eat. We chose this place and it didn't disappoint. So many options, a little something for everyone (vegan and gluten-free options). Noticed they also had a variety of cocktail and beer selections. Also, their chocolate chip cookies were super delicious. The service and food was delicious. Highly recommend this eatery. read more

They're open again! Their main Instagram posts their current hours and info. Call ahead or dine on the patio (ofc that May change). Staff is just nice as can be. Love supporting my local businesses and glad to see them open again. I used to go to the Fullerton location all the time. So glad there's an option near my office. I usually go for the lunch combos and they were quite generous. I'll definitely be back. read more

I like the Rutabeggar on Fullerton a lot better. I was not impressed with the turkey sandwich with cranberries or the iced tea.

Amazing food, wonderful service. Best BBQ chicken salad I've ever had. Didn't need dressing but the dressing was great. Enough to serve 2 people. My friends had Quesadilla and a sandwich, both were wonderful. We shared the carrot cake for dessert and there was enough for all 3 of us. I wish we had one of these in Los Alamitos or Long Beach. Definitely get value for your money. I wish I could remember our blonde waitress' name because she was amazing! read more

Excellent food and service. Healthy, tasty meals at reasonable prices. Restaurant was clean and nicely decorated as well. read more

Great bite to eat for a work lunch! We actually went to their other location and it was too busy for us to find seating. So we called ahead and found the staff much nicer and the place had great outdoor seating! Our entire party got a different iteration of the chicken garlic. All were great! Only down side was the iced coffee wasn't too good, but still giving them 5 stars because the food was that good! read more

Fantastic atmosphere. Converted house to restaurant. Many healthy options Had the seeded spinach salad. It was fantastic. I just came here from swimming at San Clemente beach. Too hungry to pause for a photo of the salad. I'll post a view instead. Menu is seriously loaded. If you can't find a dish that looks appetizing on this bottomless pit menu then you might as well stay home and have cereal. read more

Rutabegorz - Wraps Near Me - Orange, California

Really disappointed in my experience here as it was highly anticipated for me since it is my girlfriends favorite lunch spot from her college days near by. She always gets the garlic chicken salad which I have to say was quite good. I ordered a Turkey club sandwich which came on a small hero....they literally gave one super thin slice of Turkey with a small strip of bacon lettuce and tomato and served it to me. 1 slice.....I kid you not, it was one thin slice. I have never ordered a sandwich anywhere in my life that gives you the smallest, thinnest layer of Turkey/meat on a sandwich. It was basically a thick piece of bread with a little something in the middle. The cookies we got to go were excellent as well....it's a shame, this place has great potential in my opinion but I have to say that "sandwich" they served me was border line disrespectful. read more

Rutabegorz to go is delightful! I brought a chicken garlic salad for me and my friend. We are obsessed. I really can't order anything else because I love this salad so much. read more

Expensive and plain boring food. We got the black bean chili, and it was runny and tasteless. The avocado turkey wrap had lettuce and blue cheese, but I did see or taste any turkey or avocado. read more

Love it such good and healthy food choices always enjoy coming here great service as well

Great food and still at a decent price. Good value overall and great service every time.

Absolutely great service today. STACY she was amazing! I normally don't like to do reviews but today was a must. If you get her as your server you will not be disappointed! ! Stacy was so funny ,great personality really made my experience at the restaurant an awesome one. I'd give her 10 stars if it was an option!!! read more

The spinach, apples and candy. Walnut salad is fantastic. Oh yes, and I almost forgot the chicken for protein as well. I get it to go and it usually lasts me for three meals. The blue cheese it's just the right amount of zest. I don't even use salad dressing. I just squeeze some gresh lemon over the top. read more

Wonderful service and food, Stacy was one of the most helpful and supportive servers. Very sweet lady would come back just for her.

After being out of the area for a few years, happy to say Rutabegorz still has the same great service (thanks Stacey), extensive menu choices, delicious food, and a relaxed dining experience. The location is perfect for visits to Chapman University, the Hilbert Museum and of course the quaint shops and antique stores. Two thumbs up plus 5 gold stars. read more

Great food - interesting combinations! The outdoor seating is great as well. The funky converted house indoor seating is fun as well.

The staff at Rutabegorz is always so warm and welcoming. We ordered to-go with Luke and he was very helpful and attentive. Our order came out right away and were very satisfied with our lunch. You gotta checkout the restroom at this location. It is so fun and kitschy + makes you feel like you're in a mermaid cave. Thank you to everyone at Rutabegorz! read more

There's some parking in the back, or ample street parking in the area. Rutabegorz is so cute and the quintessential Old Town Orange restaurant. They have a HUGE menu (bigger in Orange than in Tustin) with lots of salads, sandwiches, favorites, snacks, and everything in between. It's a little older feeling but definitely has charm. There's seating outside on their adorable front garden patio, or inside too. I split the peasant mushrooms and Beth's bowl (for two of us) and it was more than enough food. The peasant mushrooms are filled with veggies and taste so fresh, even with the cheese covering them. Beth's bowl was amazing and also super fresh and healthy, but still flavorful. I saw some of the salads come out and they're also GIANT, so splittable or enough for leftovers. The service is great and you're treated like a member of the Rutabegorz family. There are tons of healthy options and they accommodate for eating restrictions easily too! It's the perfect place to meet up for a quick lunch. It's no fine dining, but everything tastes so fresh and simple and tasty in a cute charming environment. read more

Cute little place in Orange. Parking is limited so beware. There are soooooo many options on the menu. I got a salad which was large and seemed fresh. I could have used a little more flavor with the dressing or in the salad, but overall it was good. The service was great!! read more

The food!! Oh em geeee!! Clean, healthy and absolutely delicious. Also reasonable prices. What I also love about Rutaz is the local aspect of their food. And please don't get me stared with that ginormous menu!! Whoa! Something doe everyone. You gotta try the cocky leaky soup and they put cheddar cheese in their apple pie -yumm! read more

Yummy salads and desserts. I love the decor and vintage vibe. I wanna go all the time.

I love Rutabegorz. The food is clean and healthy, the service is always amazing and comforting. The matcha latte with soy has been my go to and the $1 dips are so so so delicious. I usually get something different every time but their cockie leekie soup, quesadilla with shrimp and avocado, garlic bread, and veggie burgers are to die for. read more

Rutabegorz - Quesadilla - Wraps Near Me - Orange, California

I love this place! Excellent food, excellent service, and wonderful decor and ambiance. If you're looking for a quaint, homey throwback to grandma's house with a cool hippie twist, then Ruta's is for you. Gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options are available, but if you're a carnivore like me, try the kissie-chicken sandwich or chicken verde enchiladas. They're the best! read more

Vegan, vegetarian and meat options make this the ideal healthy spot. We've been going to Ruta's for probably close to twenty years. Food is always fresh and delicious. This trip I went with the quinoa black tacos. Yummy! read more

I almost feel like there are TOO MANY options here! The menu is huge and there are tons of salads, sandwiches, wraps, entrees, sides, etc. to choose from. It took me forever to decide on what to get, but thankfully my server was very patient and helpful with suggestions. What I assume is newer revision of the menu includes symbols to indicate whether an item is vegetarian or gluten-free, and I was grateful to see a good number items that were both. While nothing is indicated as vegan, my server told me that most of the vegetarian items could be made vegan by omitting the cheese and/or dressing. They seem to be accommodating to requests like that. I got the falafel wrap on a gluten-free tortilla, and my server said that it would come with extra fruit and hummus to make up for the pasta salad and creamy dressing that I couldn't have (to keep my meal vegan and gluten-free). It was delicious! The falafel was a tad dry and crumbly, and the wrap did fall apart easily, and it ended up being a bit messy to eat, but not too big of a deal if you don't mind eating a wrap with a fork and knife. There are also two vegan and gluten-free cookies that they have, which I'd gotten a couple of days before during a coffee-to-go stop here. The Chocolate Coconut Walnut Cookie is amazing. I'm sure the Oatmeal Raisin was good, too. The iced coffee that I got was also HUGE ... like 24 oz or maybe even 32 oz? read more

Rutabegorz - Garlic Chicken Salad - Small - Wraps Near Me - Orange, California

I'd give them five stars if I could still eat there. As it is, I'm in mourning. One of my long-time favorites has stopped serving dinner; they now close at 5:00 pm. We'll have to find a new place for our downtown Orange visits. At least their other locations in Tustin and Fullerton have pretty much the same menus and vibes. And still serve dinner read more

Older lady at the register had the nerve to ask my mom if she was tipping the server and we DID leave cash outside and the same lady had the fucking nerve to go outside to check if we did leave money. No law saying I'm obligated to leave a tip.... Rude and never going back read more

This is one of the best gems in downtown orange! Stacy our lovely waitress took such good care of us and our food was superb. Stacy was so kind, gave us great advice on the food, and was just a joy! I had the black bean chili and it was to die for. Highly recommend anything on this menu though. Also the house where it is located is sooo cute and peaceful. read more

OUTDOOR PATIO LUNCH w/ HEALTHY OPTIONS! tons of food options from salads, soups, chili, sandwiches, wraps, to bowls, desserts & mexican food?! LOTS OF VEGETARIAN OPTIONS .. it was so hard to decide! ---1/2 walnut that kissed chicken sandwich w/ caesar salad: I LOVE THEIR SQUAW BREAD.. Mmm hint of sweetness & perfect soft chewiness! i like how they serve the dressing of salads on the side PLUS give you fresh fruit with your meals! PLUS they don't use iceberg lettuce in any of their salads the staff was so nice & never rushed us!! i'll definitely be back, perhaps i'll try the fullerton or tustin location next time! PARKING: there's a free 3 hour lot around the corner, but i also saw some sort of parking sign on the door that i forgot to read.. so there may be other options! NOTE: they have $1 appetizers that apparently change w/ time but we didn't partake in these! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE the garlic chicken salad! I add feta and take off the crunchies. I honestly haven't tried anything else here because I'm so afraid my craving for this salad won't be fulfilled.

oh, my girlfriends support group has a standing reservation on the first Tuesday of every month for breakfast and it has been absolutely incredible! The new menu with breakfast has been very fun. Everyone's getting incredible coffee drinks, and enjoying it immensely. I love the way all of holidays are celebrated and they make it so warm and inviting it's just the best together together enjoy the holiday all month long. It's not very many places that have festive decorations and the tustin and the Orange do that really well. You feel like you're walking into a party every time!!! sometimes it's between the holidays and it's still a fun environment. The seasonal food is great. The gluten-free vegetarian and even vegan options are wonderful than going there for decades and still love to share it with friends! Wonderful service, extensive menu, warm, friendly environment, both patio (especially in orange) and the interior is always over the top read more

I decided to forego my last Dallas review because it was negative and I forgot to take pictures. I will continue with my tour around the Orange Circle. When I came to Rutabegorz, I felt like having something simple like soup and a salad so I could watch my girlish figure - lol. It was packed @ 1 pm on a Fri afternoon so that was a good sign. As I read the menu I also found out the restaurant started biz in 1970 and there are two other locations in Fullerton and Tustin (another good sign). I ordered the hummus w/ chips ($4.50) and a cup of soup and dal side salad ($7.85). They have an expansive menu - soups (inc chili), full salads (like Thai Chicken), wraps, sandwiches and full entrees. The also have outdoor seating (which is nice in the middle of summer). The crowd was mixed - young, middle and older - some business folks like me as well as moms w/ their babies in strollers. The hummus was OK. A little too creamy for my taste buds. However, I was impressed at the large portion for the price. I had the chicken tortilla soup - a staple on the soup menu and it was OK. The portion was small (more like a side dish cup), there were too many soggy vegetables and there was no avocado or lime on the side. In addition, it was bland. However, I was impressed w/ the side salad though. It came in a nice sized bowl (I saw the bowl for a full size salad which looked like a water bowl for a huge dog), the veggies were fresh and there was a good amount of cucumbers, tomatoes, mushrooms and sunflower seeds (Sorry! Forgot to take a pic). The primary questions for me when I rate a restaurant are: 1) Would I return?; 2) Did I receive good value?; 3) How was the service; and 4) Would I make the trek from HB to eat at the joint? The answers are, yes I would return and try something else; the value was pretty good; the service was a bit slow; but I would not make the trek from HB to eat here. Overall, a solid 3 star lunch option by work. read more

Rutabegorz - Hummus and chips - $4.50 - Wraps Near Me - Orange, California

Excellent place with a great service. Best part of this restaurant is outdoor setting which is so adorable and freshly decor. Menu gives you so many choices and that's why I will suggest take a look on their menu online if possible. Otherwise take your time and enjoy the menu's details and descriptions slowly. No matter what you order I know you will love to go back and try your other options. This area is very lively and cool which can help you to walk around the neighborhood after lunch. Oh presentation is very colorful with choice of many drinks. We really recommend this place for everyone and everyone will find something for sure. Looking forward to going back again. read more
