My first visit to Rutabegorz was back in the 1980s -- when "nouvelle" cuisine was all the rage. That was the beginning of a period in restaurant history when it was all about presentation, and tiny portions on big plates. Not, or never so with Rutabegorz. Their portions are hearty, the presentation is lovely, but there is plenty of delicious,... More

It's mostly a veggie place. The food is good, well cooked and different. It's a one of kind in decoration. It is true to its mission. My hustand and I go at least once a month.

Rutebegorz has a huge menu full of everything you can think of: american, asian, like 30 salads, the best APPLE PIE ever, italian, mexican. It's all homemade, and all has fresh veggies. They have a big selection of delicious coffee shakes (craving one right now!). What makes it a little different is that you just find a table and seat... More

We ate twice at Rutabegorz this past March on our visit to Fullerton. I was a past customer of this restaurant when we lived in the community. The food was good,atmosphere appealing, and the staff were just fine. The menu has not changed in 30 years and there is food for everyone. It is a nice place in a cool... More

Funky decor but the food is delicious and the menu is huge. They do have meat dishes, as well, but many vegetarian entrees which delighted my healthy-minded relatives.

Rutabegorz, or more simply "Ruta's" has been a favorite of ours for 30 years. The unique, comfortable and casual atmosphere makes it a great stop anytime. In the mood for a salad? Fresh, generously sized and inventive salads are a mainstay. Maybe hot soup on a cool night? Cockie Leeky or a cheesy vegetable soup of the day will hit... More

Hard to describe and evaluate this place. Four of us caught a movie and decided afterward to look for a local place to dine. Opted for this establishment based upon Tripadvisor reviews. It is a funky place with some cool murals on the walls. Nothing fancy here. The menu had a bunch of this and that. I opted for a... More
