Nothing better on a cold day than their tomato basil soup, with a puff pastry on top.

YUM!. This place is refreshing and yummy! Their tomato basil soup in a bowl is amazing!! I also had a salad that was amazing it had goat cheese and almonds with some kind of vinaigrette. Wish I had one now. I was expecting the margarita pizza to be amazing as well, but it was ok. Try the sweet potato fries!! From what I have tried their I loved the soup and salad the best!

Really Good Organic Food. Ruggles Green is a great place to get organic food! Food is really good, and the atmosphere is very nice. However, parking can be a pain during lunch or dinner rushes due to their tiny lot. Ruggles Green is a little pricey, but that's expected considering it is a certified organic eatery.

Too Much for Simple Things.
This place is unique and they surely know how to promote their restaurant with things that should be way cheaper, but instead Ruggles Green makes its double the price. Making pretty much everything double the price then at any other place just because the food is "organic" is simply ridiculous as food should be organic as it is, but since it IS the United States people where people care more about their car than their diet it is not a surprise. The "health freak" people or whatever they call themselves, either have too much money or are just plain lazy idiots who cannot cook simple things such as Mac n Cheese or a simple salad which every kid knows how to do with ingredients from a Farmers Market for a fraction of the price that they charge you at Ruggles Green.
The food in itself is very good and fresh although I found the portions a little dissapointing. The service is friendly, fast and overall the place has a nice atmosphere.
So if you want to spend double of what you normally spend on lunch or just simply not care about how much food costs and want some tasty Italian food then this is your place to go.

Delicious Healthy Food!.
I absolutely love this place! As a health freak type of person, I always have a hard time finding a place to dine it. Ruggles Green has variety of choices of food that you will definitely enjoy! They have the best salads, and they even have organic food that is definitely a top notch to me!
The only problem is, the place is small, and it gets packed quick especially on the weekend, but that really does not stop me from going!

Delicious, healthy and mostly Gluten free.
Hallaluah!! Ruggles Green has made a dream come true. They furnish a restaurant that is truly delicious, fresh, organic food and clean meats. For me there is more, because it is not only their fresh oranic tastly food, but 70% of their menu is gluten free. Celiac is a stomach desease that prohibits the intake of any gluten. I was diagnosed 11 years ago, and it makes dining out very dificult. I can actually get a fresh, tasty pizza, or a buffalo burger on a bun, yummy salads and their dressings are gluten free!!
All Ruggles Green take out containers are enviormentally safe and reuseable, or can be recycled as opposed to the styrafoam that no one wants to reclycle.
Thank you Frederic Marques and Chef Molzan for a job well done.

Pizza pizza pizza!.
Let me start out saying that I am from NYC and it's really hard to compare most restaurants elsewhere to ny restaurants. Ruggles green is an awesome concept that I haven't really seen elsewhere. So when i came to visit Houston i was surprised to find how good ruggles green actually is...AND QUICK! I got the pepperoni pizza...I love pizza I'm from ny! But this was definitely up there on my list as well and is a GREAT alternative! When i next come to Houston I will definitely make a stop there again! I hear they have other locations and have only heard fantastic things about them.
To finish off my pizza I got the brownie to split with my coworker and needless to say, we wish we got our own!

My last words are yum yum yum!

I can't get enough of Ruggles Green.
I have been a fan or Ruggles GReen ever since it opened about two years ago in the Kirby/West Alabama location. It is clothes to my home, my kids schools, and basically where i remain! I go there maybe once a week or two week for salads, sandwiched, and tacos. I have kids from ages 4 - 10 and they LOVE the mac and cheese, the sliders and ALL the desserts!
Now that CityCentre location has opened, it has become the perfect place to meet my friends that live in Memorial and the Energy Coorider for lunch. Even dinner, where the entire CityCentre turns into a hot spot.
I would highly recommend BOTH Ruggles Green locations to anyone looking for healthy dining, YUMMY food, Kid friendly dining, and a great environment - especially the patio at CityCentre!
