This place is SOOO DELICIOUS!! And the menu boasts so many varieties and is great for those with any dietary restrictions (dairy free, gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, etc.). It is in the beautiful area of downtown Orange and has a nice inside as well as expansive patio. Service was prompt, friendly, and they were able to accommodate our large group of about 20 people. Everyone enjoyed their meals, drinks, and deserts. I had the curry, a hummus appetizer, and a white chocolate macadamia nut cookie; all were amazing. Everything on their menu looked so good it was almost hard to decide what to order. I will definitely be back to try other things here (their salads looked huge and so fresh, as did everything else). Such a great place in a bustling area. read more

Nice location. We.were quickly greeted. We ordered the 1.00 dip/hummus of the month it was green chili dip cream.cheese base. Very good. I ordered the tropical tea and they kindly refilled often. I off the green Verde chilaquilles they were quite good with 2 fried eggs on top. Nicely portioned and great flavor. I did like that they serve breakfast all day. Also ordered mushroom roasted sandwich. So good with the melted toasted cheese bread. Dressing and lettuce complimented it. Very pleased with both orderes. That's a bonus. The weather was quite hot but the umbrellas and shade covered nicely. Server was really nice. Definitely come back. read more

The service and the ambience was amazing! The hostess was also our waitress and she was constantly checking in on us to ensure that we were absolutely happy and enjoyed our meals. We love that. She was also exceptionally friendly. I must also say that the strawberry margarita and the cheese bread is probably one the best I've ever had! Their strawberry margarita had wine in it, which was so interesting and exquisite! The taste and presentation was superb! I ordered the chicken enchilada Verde. It was good and very filling. The quantity and the portion was wonderful. We were celebrating a friend's birthday and she got free cheesecake. How lovely is that!!!! read more

Ngl, this place is so mid and I'm really trying to be nice... tried 3 things there, Thai Wrap, Breakfast Burrito and Pesto pasta. The Thai Wrap was so plain with way too much peanuts, hardly any flavor, and the 'Thai' sauce was no good at all. Breakfast Burrito was terrible and the pesto pasta had no flavor either. Overall it was super disappointing. Cute place though... read more

I had an amazing lunch here on a weekday afternoon. It was a nice day so we decided to sit on the front covered patio. It was a bit cool so they had their heaters on to keep us comfortable. There is also indoor seating with a charmingly cozy atmosphere in what is formerly a house. Barbara was our server and was informative, attentive, funny, and full of personality - she made our meal all the more enjoyable. The menu here is HUGE with lots of sandwiches, salads, bowls, soups, etc. I ordered the Ruta Club Sandwich and an iced tea. The sandwich was on sourdough bread and contained ham, turkey, cheddar cheese, and tomatoes. Packets of mustard and mayo were put on the side to add as I wanted. The ingredients were fresh, especially the vibrantly flavored tomato slices. A small pasta salad on the side as well as a pickle completed the plate. It was an excellent sandwich. Instead of dessert, I had a coffee drink; Cafe Milano. This Viennese coffee tasted of cocoa and cinnamon with whipped cream on top. Excellent!!! The service, atmosphere, and great food combined to make this a fantastic experience. Note: Parking in the area can sometimes be challenging. When visiting the Orange Circle area I always park in a free structure a couple blocks away on Lemon Street just off Chapman Ave. read more

I've had a few dishes here but the chilaquiles veredes are the best in OC hands down. The chips are served a crunchy since the sauce, feta cheese (gives a nice flavor), pico de gallo, and fresh slices avocado melts in your mouth. Service is an A plus with friendly and welcoming smiles from the time you walk in, consistent coffee and water fills until your belly is full. The outdoor ambiance on a nice warm day makes this place a perfect way to start the day before you hit the Orange Circle for antique shopping. Cheers to the servers and cooks. read more

Meh. We ordered the garlic chicken salad, no carrots. Instead, she put no cucumbers. I asked since there were going to switch it out, if I can have green leaf instead of mixed... they basically picked out the carrots and left it as is, then stated they switched out the mixed greens for spring mix. They did not. The other item we ordered was the Thai bowl. Asked for dressing in the side, instead, they drenched it with the peanut sauce. Unfortunately, based on this experience alone, I won't be back. read more

Bad food, seriously not worth the price. I don't know how it's busy. Please go somewhere else. The chicken was rubber and the salads were just bland. Looked like a kid made the food. My friends got the wraps and they fell apart, looked very bad. Try somewhere else in the circle. read more

Excellent experience on a Saturday late morning, around 11:30 am. We initially were going to the filling station cafe, but as usual is it insanely busy and food is just ok. If you walk down across the street and a few more steps, you'll find this relaxing, welcoming, and quieter restaurant. No wait, plenty of seats, very welcoming staff. Great for a nice breakfast and lunch date or with friends. Food was good, flavorful and delicious, and the sweet potatoes dip was awesome. Good value, good flavor! Professional waiter and staff! read more

I met a friend for lunch and he suggested Rutabegorz because it has a great selection of vegetarian options. The place is very conveniently located in downtown Orange and has a really nice inside and outside area to enjoy the food. The service was great with a friendly staff and also er efficient service. The food was good and very tasty. It is ver close to Chapman University and draws all kinds people. The price was very reasonable and I am looking forward to going again. I haven't been to this location before but it has more room than the one in Fullerton. If you like good food and lots of different options for both meat and vegetarian items, you have come to the right place! read more

VEGAN REVIEW What a cute spot! And definitely check out the mermaid bathroom :) We sat outside which was lovely & shaded. Inside the A/C was cranking (brrrr) Friendly service. Have to say, I thought they would have more vegan options given what all the reviews said. I had a falafel salad which was fine, nothing to write home about. Very vegetarian friendly, but lots of eggs, cheese & milk so it's not as good for fully plant-based peeps read more

Love the ambiance and the service was really good! My lunch was delicious. It will be one of my new favorites!

The food was fresh and delish. I had the falafel platter and the green tea matcha cold. My friends enjoyed their lunch as well. Service was quick and efficient. They were able to make some diet adjustments which we felt was great and on a personal level. Not a lot of crowd so we were able to hear our2 conversations. read more

Yesterday after going to the Hilbert Museum my friend and I had lunch at Rutabegorz in Orange CA. My friend had scrambled eggs and turkey sausage. I had a bowl of cockie leeky soup and half a turkey sandwich. Everything was very good. For fans of such things, cockie leeky soup was one of the items on the April 14th 1912 First Class lunch menu aboard Titanic. Later that night Titanic hit an iceberg. Since I was going back to Los Angeles on the train, I wasn't worried about the train hitting an iceberg. read more

We came to have a sweet little breakfast but they didn't have many breakfast options. No traditional breakfast. We ended up getting a burrito and coffees. The burrito was ok. And the coffee was actually horrible, I couldn't get past one sip. Neither could my partner. We ordered the special dip of the day, which was hummus, it was good, simple, wholesome. We also got a cookie, it seemed it had been sitting for a few days, the outside was kinda hard and inside was alright. Don't really recommend. The service was good. Everyone was friendly. I wouldn't come back here. read more

Craving something warm and cheesy, the breakfast quesadilla did not disappoint. Loaded with egg, cheese and black beans with side of guacamole, sour cream and pico. Couldn't eat it all! Nice, peaceful patio seating in old town Orange. Staff were very outgoing and kind. Made everyone comfortable and made sure everything was good. Large vegetarian menu plus some chicken and tuna based options served beer, wine and mixed drinks. Open at 8 am daily serving breakfast as well as seasonal specials and regular menu items. Great way to start the morning read more

Ok so cute lil place w a big menu and plenty of seating (outside and inside). Staff is also super sweet which is great :) Only taking off the 2 stars cause food was pretty meh. Bowl was kinda unflavorful and the chimichurri sauce was just cilantro which was pretty overpowering. Idk if I'd go there again but there other food (burritos and stuff) looked pretty good! read more

Parking is a nightmare here. It is right off The Circle. There are a lot of college kids running around. If you plan to park a block or two away, watch for signs. Some street parking is by permit only. Meter maids sit and wait to write tickets. I've been to this place a couple of times but never been inside. I love the patio area on a nice day. You can sit next to the sidewalk and people watch. The menu is pretty extensive. There is something for anyone's taste. The best part is that portions are good and the food is tasty. The brunch food was on point. read more

Came here recently with some family. We all ended up ordering the same salad because we enjoy it so much. Hands down such an incredibly great place to eat healthy food. While the food is great, the service and atmosphere is fantastic as well. Everyone loves a great patio to enjoy a good meal and they certainly do not disappoint. To be honest i also love the inside eating too, especially on a cool (or way too warm) day, but that's just me. Try the cheesecake or cookies for dessert, and let then know Frankie recommended it. It might not get you anything free but i truly enjoy supporting local businesses who do it right. Enjoy! - Updating a bit on 10-28-2024‐ Honestly cannot count how many times I've been here, mostly with my wife before marriage, before we had kids, and now that my son is in college we still come. We appreciate many things about Rutabegorz, both here and in Tustin. Hope to continue to enjoy it more through the years. read more

Stacey! Stacy! Stacy! We were strolling the historic streets of old town Orange and stumbled into this very hard to pronounce little café .. Stacy, our waitress was so sweet and so helpful. We had so many questions and she answered them all. Most of the items are vegan, but they do have a lot of chicken items. I had a tuna salad on sourdough bread with fresh cantaloupe on the side. " and I mean fresh.!" They have an extensive menu , which made it so hard to decide what to have. We know we're going to be back and I'm going to have their BLT. Stacey was so sweet. It was a hot day and she filled up too water cups to go and said. " you gotta stay hydrated out there." We love this town ... very dog friendly too read more

Excellent food. Fresh and tasty. Reasonably priced. Would definitely go again. The server Chris is very helpful and kind.

Their food is absolutely amazing and I love that the restaurant is part of an old home in old town Orange, which gives us so much. One of my favorite dishes is their leek soup. It's so amazing. The next time you're in old town, Orange stop in for some delicious vegan food. read more

The staff here is always friendly and they recognized us from previous visits. My wife had a breakfast burrito. I had the ratatouille and a side salad. My mother had a crêpe. It was beautiful weather on the outdoor patio where we sat and ate our lunch. At the end of our meal, we took our son inside to choose a cookie. It is no wonder we find ourselves returning to this restaurant again and again. The only thing I would note is that the food comes out very very hot. read more

I am officially in LOVE with Rutabegorz! The food was AMAZING, all organic ingredients, no GMOs, and the artwork is stunning!!! They have 3d paintings all over the walls! They have a little cozy book nook/table that left my mind blown!!! Very quiet and cozy, and my daughter mentioned "Daddy, this is a plain house!" It looks like a regular home, but a perfect example not to judge a book by its cover. The waitresses and waiters were so friendly and stopped to speak about anything that customers wanted to. A personal comment; the waiter named Chris was very nice and polite. Overall, I am glad I came here and am satisfied with my meal. I guess I need to take a walk to digest this meal, as the portions are HUGE!!! This place is read more

Well, you can't beat it for food, service and ambience. Took forever just to get through the menu. There's so many choices. Amanda was our server and was over the top. She recommended anything that came with garlic chicken and said that the salad was fabulous and she was right definitely get a cookie or pie for dessert if there's room. Amanda, you rocked it. read more

I've been here a couple of times. Parking can sometimes be a pain, but they do have a back lot of you're lucky to get a spot. I love sitting inside. It's cute like a house. I've sat on the patio too. I actually like this location better than the one in Fullerton (in terms of ambiance). The food is always so delicious. My friends and I shared chicken nachos. I had a sandwich. It was delicious, but a sandwich I can make at home. What I ordered isn't their fault and I'm not going to fault them for my choices. I decided to go lite because of the shared nachos. I've had the garlic chicken pasta there too and it was divine. The service was amazing the two times I've been here. I absolutely can't complain. Everyone was so attentive! After breakfast, lunch or dinner you can take a stroll around the circle. It's so much fun! read more

First time at the Orange location! Having grown up in Tustin, I've been dined at that location for years. I happened to be walking around old towne Orange yesterday afternoon when my tummy gave a little rumble. In an effort to try to eat better this year, it was like it was meant to be: ah ha! A hearty salad from Rutzbegorz! Immediately upon sitting down, I was greeted and my beverage order was taken. I opted for something different - the quinoa Thai salad. They had a monthly black bean hummus and tortilla chips for $1, which I also decided to try. Even though the quinoa Thai salad was billed as a "smaller salad," it was definitely still filling. Note that with the "regular" sized salads, I usually have leftovers. This one made the perfect meal for someone who was very hungry. There was also a kale salad as a special that looked very appealing -- well, many of their salads sounded wonderful. But I was happy with my choice. I loved the peanut dressing. All throughout my meal, the service was attentive. There is indoor and outdoor seating; I love all the courtyard tabled outside! Even if you don't have to visit the loo, do visit, as the mermaid decor in the women's room is charming. 2024: 8/100 read more

The first time, my partner and I stumbled upon this place while we were walking to see what we would have for dinner. It was indeed a hidden gem. We were greeted by two men, and we decided to sit outside. We had the $1 monthly special sundried tomato with roasted peppers Hummus, and it was not spicy but tasted fresh, healthy, and good. This is totally healthier than having fries , hehe. My drink was on point. They made my Arnold palmer perfectly. My partner asked the man who is Bilingual (I know since I asked him a few questions and talked in both languages with him) what he recommends as being their best dishes and he informed my partner that it is their pastas and sandwiches (maybe there was something else but I sure recall these two categories). This man was friendly, patient, and very welcoming, and his co-worker who took our food order was also welcoming and friendly. I ordered the garlic chicken pasta with white sauce. It was savory, and all the flavors just went well together. I am not big on pasta dishes, but this was IT. I saved some for the following day, and boy, it tasted better than the first time I had it asking with the bread. The dish also comes with a piece of fruit(watermelon, melon, etc). 5/5 My partner had their chicken pesto pasta, and they liked it. They rated their dish 4/5 The second time, I went with my friend just to ensure it was not a fluke, but it was not. She also ordered the chicken garlic pasta, and she loved it. 5/5 This time around, they had heated lamps since we sat outside. This spot is very homey, and there is a lot of space in the outside area . They also have some space to dine in inside. They have a lot of food options and happy hour(I have posted some pictures). I highly recommend it if you have not tried it. read more
