Rutabegorz

I love this location, I've been attending this restaurant for years now. It is such a cute, and quaint place located in Old Town Tustin. The service is great and the food is tasty. It sort of reminds me of childhood, going to that elderly neighbors home that is so inviting, it feels like a "warm hug".I typically attend for the garlic chicken salad as well as a strawberry margarita however, today it was just the beverage. I have been meaning to post a review, but I always forgot except for todayIf you are looking for lovely service with "comfort food" then I would go here. There is another one located in Orange, but this one serves margaritas when I believe the other one does not.Give it a go!

Rutabegorz is such a cute little spot (came to Tustin location). The vibe is pretty laid back and cozy with funky decor. Parking can be little tight but there's enough street parking and might need to walk a little. They have got ton of vegetarian options, and the portions are huge - we certainly left with lot of leftovers. Food was good and tasty, and our server was super nice and attentive! We came in here for brunch but I would love to come back and try out other items from their menu.

Their menu is so extensive it is like a binder full of stuff. Love the availability of vegan and vegetarian options! I almost missed the back of the drinks menu which had plant based specials and randomly amazing vegan korean tacos! They were soooo good and made with some plant-based bulgogi that was sweet and sour and crispy and just perfect!Hubby got the Mexican casserole and that was pretty good too but tasted like something I could make at home myself. But that's comforting in it's own way - tasting home-cooked feels more healthy.Given how many options are on the menu, we'll definitely be back to try more!

There may just be more than Indian food to come back to Tustin- Rutabegorz, besides being incredibly fun to say, has all the things for people who love variety and a great deal with better than Denny's diner food but all the charm. Like the restaurant, its tagline is a mouthful but worth it. The 55¢ specials are exactly the thing you can't find anywhere around here. I heard they used to be 47¢, but this isn't hometown kitchen buffet, we don't argue about anything less than a dime. What i love about coming here is the giant bowls of salad.. I couldn't even finish and had to take it home, such a loser. But their artichoke dip was worth the gut real estate, it's not like your usual sloppy drenched cheesy mess but actual chunks of roasted artichoke and cheese melded with each bite. When you get in there, if they have open tables, just sit down and a menu will come. If you're an American, this is the diner for you.

I came here with a friend on a Thursday at 12 pm, luckily not a long wait (5 minutes) since it was a nice day out, we decided to sit outside.My friend recommended this place so many times and I finally caved to try it and I'm so glad I did. Hip old diner feel, if that makes any sense lol the service was fast and staff was nice! EATS:They have this 57 cent? dip/ spread deal that's comes with crackers, the seasonal dip was cream cheese with apples and some other goodies- I didn't take a picture of it but I did eat it all. I think that's a fun and cheap add on appetizer before your meal! TUSCAN KALE AND TURKEY SALAD- so yummy, you can't tell by the picture but this was a big salad, I only finished about a 3rd and ate the rest for dinner. The salad had baby kale, l turkey, parmesan cheese, dried cranberries, candied pecans, avocado and homemade croûtons with a l lemon poppy seed vinaigrette, it was fresh and delicious and I would order again! They have an extensive menu for any type of foodie and also serve alcohol! I'm excited to come back and bring my husband :)

There's a reason this restaurant has been serving Orange County, California since the 70's. No matter what you order, you are guaranteed a fresh, clean and well seasoned culinary delight. The vegetables taste like they were harvested outside the back door, as always. The bonus is that your body feels good after eating here. The prices are good and the servings bountiful.The service is attentive and the customers are jovial. Many of the patrons are regulars as evidenced by over heard reminiscences.The ambiance is eclectic and imaginative, like the food. The antique farm tables give a warm and sturdy foundation for the colorful Fiesta ware appetizer dishes. The seasonal decorations are tasteful, framing a view of the outside patio of more happy patrons with a few well behaved dogs. Beautiful stained glass gleams from the corner lighting eclectic art. Dress code is casual.Bathrooms clean. Prices fair.Atmosphere comfortable.A winner!3 Southern California Locations:FullertonOrangeTustinAll great and consistent.

Cute little boutique/ restaurant! I got the Tuna sandwich and my colleague got a salad and the food was good. The service was also good. I wish we had been greeted/ shown to a seat upon entering because of the layout of the place but overall we had a good experience and the are they have hung is super cool!

My boyfriend and I love Rutabegorz and always have the best experience here and at their Fullerton location. Every time we come in, we receive the kindest, most thoughtful service! Every waiter and waitress is awesome and go above and beyond every time. On our most recent visit, we ordered artichoke dip, a cup of cocky leeky soup, chicken cacciatore, and pasta con pollo, although other times we have also tried their salads, enchiladas, chili, shakes, and sandwiches. We have never had a bad dish here, but one thing we always always order is the artichoke dip. Unlike the artichoke dips at other places, Rutabegorz uses larger chunks of artichoke that keeps it so flavorful, not too greasy, and perfectly seasoned. The cocky leeky soup is always a go-to and is perfectly creamy and savory.The restaurant itself is pretty large, but can get busy during peak hours, but never at the expense of the service. We always feel taken care of here and welcomed into this cozy, cute restaurant :)

Love this place! Food was amazing and the menu was huge. I got a chipotle wrap, it was just the right amount of food. It tasted clean and I didn't feel heavy after eating it. The cookies were so tempting and couldn't help myself - service is quick and staff is friendly. I recommend this place if you are looking for a nice brunch or lunch place. Do forget to take some cookies home

Service was slow. Food tasted bleh. The shop was cute. Nice decoration s. It was pretty busy. Serves vegetarian and vegan foods
