Rutabegorz

About the Business

Specialties

Along with many vegetarian dishes, Ruta's also serves white breast of chicken, turkey, albacore tuna and assorted lean deli meats. Our salad dressings are fresh and house made and our condiments are low in fat. As usual, we use only the finest and freshest fruits and vegetables. And, our homemade desserts, well, they're sinful but oh-so-hard-to-resist and worth the extra cheating!

History

Established in 1970.

Back in 1970 this small "hippie joint" opened its doors in Fullerton to an unsuspecting town. Little did this city know what a trendsetter Rutabegorz restaurant would become. Serving only coffee and desserts in the beginning, Rutabegorz has since evolved into one of Orange County's favorite health food restaurants. With three locations to meet the needs of its "regulars", it can sometimes seem as if there are not enough "Ruta's" to go around.

Paul B.

Business Owner

Ever since he could remember, Paul Berkman, the owner of Rutabegorz Restaurants relished eating out.  As many people, dining out was part of his daily routine.  For Paul, the dining out experience was best when it involved the community.  People you knew, people you were about to meet, and people who simply added to robust atmosphere of a bustling cafe where the elements that attracted Paul the most.It is not surprising then to know that Paul's first forms of employment were working at restaurants in Los Angeles where he served and bussed tables.  All the while, Paul had a dream to start his own restaurant, one with personally unique theme and style.
