Cafe Ruta

Excellent food and good service. Reasonably priced. Atmosphere was a bit much. Kinda like mobster meets Lawrence Welk. Overstuffed high back chairs were very comfortable

5 and well deserved. Ordered Kvas, Pork Cutlets, Pork Shashlik and kids Chix Cutlets. Hidden gem in the area. Classy interior and polite staff. Will be back for sure

Quaint, lovely restaurant! Delicious breaded pork with salad. Friendly staff. Special Place to share lunch or dinner.

Delicious Baltic dishes. Very good use of mushrooms, beets, and (yum!) pork. Their Siberian dumplings are to die for.

Great 👍 Lithuanian food. I go there every time I visit Chicago.

Best place to get your cheese donuts!!! Warm and cozy restaurant with great staff and delicious food.

Great place 👍
Authentic freshly made Lithuanian food

This cuisine, which I am otherwise unfamiliar with, has some very wonderful flavors. The tenderloin of pork was excellent. The dumplings are quite delicious. Good service and pleasant folks.

Great cafe. Great varaity of national Lithuanian food as well as east European kitchen. Nice staff Rita and Diana are always make cafe clean and cosy. There is availability to book whole cafe for any kind of events you want to celebrate. Food portions are big enough to be well-fed and take with you are cost around $20.

Excellent authentic Lituanian food.
At reasonable prices.
Very clean and attractive decor.
I will make Ruta a regular part of my dining enjoyment.
Ample portions too.
If you get the Lituanian combo platter plan on splitting it between 2 people

It’s the Best Lithuanian food I’ve ever had.

The food was amazing!!!! Homecooked with love. Attentive and pleasant staff. They make you feel like family.

Excellent, delicious home-made European food in a pleasant atmosphere. They have take-out available, as well as a few shelves of quality European goods for sale. Authentic European salads, breads and candy brought me back to my childhood. Will come again!

Very good flavors to this food that I am otherwise not familiar with. The pork tenderloin was delicious. The dumplings are a real treat. Nice people and good service.

Delicious and fresh food, also really affordable price for a big portion. If I would give more than 5 stars I definitely will 🔥

Amazing food menu. It was my first time trying Lithuanian food and I liked it very much. Will definitely come back.

Great authentic Lithuanian food, nice atmosphere, friendly stuff! Highly recommended! Aciu labai!

Even though I am not Lithuanian, I thoroughly enjoyed the traditional food that reminded me of growing up in Marquette Park.
