I wanted to leave a review praising Ashley. She was our server. I am the mom of a child with level one autism and she was so patient with him and that means so much to mom's like me who struggle in public with the social aspect of our child's behavior. We often feel judged or ostracized because in all respects, our child's gifted or seemingly normal, but then the behavior issues come out. With Ashley, she was patient as we worked through his food choices which if you have a child with autism, you completely understand the limitations. This was our first time there as a family and now he has a new place. He's familiar with and if you know what it went that is you know. Thank you Ashley for a stellar experience, Paige. read more

A casual breakfast spot located at the end of a strip mall, Ruby Slippers is a quick and accessible option for those looking for a carb heavy southern breakfast. We were able to be seated as walk-ins on Presidents Day morning, although the place was absolutely packed. The service here was warm and the food came out moderately quick. This place feels like one of those higher end casual spots, definitely a step above IHOP, but not quite First Watch. We ordered a bunch of things so we'll break it down one by one: Pancakes with bacon - a bit of a letdown. Pancakes had no real flavor and the bacon was good, not great. Beignets - pretty good. Better than some we've had for sure, a nice sweet and doughy treat. French toast bites - very delicious. Came with a nice, sweet dipping sauce that really brought it home. Fried catfish & grits - hit and a miss. The catfish was delicious and lightly battered, the grits were very heavy and buttery which didn't go well with the catfish. It does also come with a biscuit that was light and buttery. Creamy vanilla iced coffee - good. Nothing too special, definitely better than a chain like Starbucks, that's for sure. It had a nice sweetness to it. Altogether, Ruby Slipper is a decent breakfast spot. Nothing we ate really hit it out of the park, but we were satisfied with our meal. It really seems like a local favorite spot and one that feels convenient to hit coming and going from NOLA. If you're looking for quick, convenient, and moderately cheap, this is the spot you're searching for. read more

Found this place on Yelp, and the food was pretty solid. I will say, though, their waitlist and host situation is a bit of a mess. The area is super small with zero organization. We were in town for a football game, so I imagine it was busier than usual, but the hostess still seemed extremely overwhelmed and unsure of what was going on. Thankfully, the general manager ended up seating us, and he was extremely nice--our server was great as well. We all ordered mimosa flights, which were just okay. They had way too much juice for my taste, and the glasses weren't filled anywhere near the top. But the food made up for it. I had the Benedict Trio, which was amazing--super flavorful and very filling. The beignets were also hot, fresh, and delicious. Overall, a good spot for food, but the front-of-house operations could definitely use some improvement. read more

Ashley was great in accommodating us when our large party came in on a Friday! We appreciate it!

Much better service and improve food quality since I went a few years ago. Always busy and limited parking. Once we got, wait staff was terrific. read more

Ordered from The Ruby Slipper on Uber Eats while in town, and every time I've had it, it's been outstanding. All of their breakfast dishes are consistently great - simple, satisfying, and really well done with that nice Southern touch. My favorite has to be the New Orleans-style French toast... so good. Easily one of the highlights for me. Overall, just a super reliable spot for a great breakfast. No complaints at all. read more

Prime time on a Sunday there is going to be a wait. Just roll with it, it is worth it. I have had countless versions of eggs Benedict across the U.S. and I can say the trifecta at Ruby Slipper is hands down the best I have ever had. Even being crazy busy we had great service with a smile. read more

Great service by Ashley!!! Short wait even though they had a long line. Food was awesome!

We were greeted and seated immediately. It did take a little minute for our waiter to come to our table but she took our order quickly and put it in the system. I ordered the gulf shrimp omelette with breakfast potatoes, gluten-free toast, fruit salad, and chicken sausage. I also ordered an Earl Grey hot tea. So the food didn't take long to come out and the food did look good when it came out , for the most part. The side fruit salad was not great. I would not recommend it. Also, the toast came out cold, which was odd. The golf shrimp omelette was great. I got it without cheese. The breakfast potatoes, the ones that were not too crispy, were good and the chicken sausage was exceptional. Overall, I was really excited about coming here because they have a lot of history behind the restaurant, as well as they clearly mark their allergens, but it was a bit underwhelming. read more

Healthy breakfast that is quick and tastes great! If you want to try something local and has good breakfast food at a decent price, this is your place. Lots of menu options for breakfast. The only drawback is it closes around 2pm daily. The service is great and it is usually packed. Everything was plated well and delicious. I kinda wish the portions were larger though. read more

Well for starters , trying to leverage OpenTable as a swift way to seat people had about 12 people JAMMED in the small waiting area as they figured out where to seat everyone, restaurant was about 3/4 full, so it's a no brainer here- but that was the start. Second, took about 10 minutes for server to get to table, nice guy, but I blame on the house for SURE. Fried green tomatoes come out, usually pretty good but together , COLD bacon, bad presentation and they were just off, POOR. We only then just ordered a few sides of eggs, grits and bacon, and would you believe it- ALL WERE TRASH Eggs were eggy and wet like, absolutely disgusting, the potatoes were hard and over salted and the grits were watery and bland. I will NEVER come back to this place, I see they have a lot of people fooled, but I am onto it and would discourage ANYONE to come here, or at least don't come here and wait 45 Minutes for SLOW service and LOUSY food. read more

Ruby Slipper Baton Rouge - Fried green tomatoes with cold bacon - Cafes Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

A nice restaurant serving breakfast. This cafe adds the Louisiana touch with a little spice. I ordered the Spanish Omelet. It comes with a choice of grits or hashbrowns. I chose the latter which came with a spicy ketchup. Additionally, it has a biscuit. The food was delicious. Our server came over numerous times to ensure we enjoyed our meal. I noticed other servers doing the same. I liked the set up and the wall signs and decorations. So if you are in Baton Rouge or just passing by, stop and have a bite at the Ruby Slippers Cafe. read more

Great food great service. Can't wait to go back. Everything was delicious. Great staff.

Went here years ago. It was just ok. The wait was extremely long and when we finally got seated, the menu was ok. Tables are very close together. Didn't enjoy being almost in somebody else's space. Didn't desire to go back. read more

I visited on a Sunday afternoon, so it was busy. I was seated upon arrival but wasn't informed that there would be a wait before my waiter could come to the table. It took over 5 minutes for my waiter to greet me. While I waited, I saw several staff members in the area, but no one acknowledged me--not even a simple "someone will be with you shortly" or "sorry for the wait." I understand it was busy, but a little acknowledgment goes a long way. When my waiter did arrive, he seemed very timid and didn't say much, but I was ready to order. I got the loaded tots, shrimp & grits, and pig candy bacon bites. The food came out quickly, but it was just okay--not as good as my previous visit. My waiter also took a while to check back after bringing my food. Overall, my experience was underwhelming, but it may have just been an off day. I'd be willing to give it another chance. read more

The restaurant was very busy but that is to be expected for a Sunday morning. We ordered our food which came out very fast considering the amount of people. Our waiter, Demarcus, was very friendly and very knowledgeable about their menu items. Thank you again Demarcus-we will be back to see you again! read more

Food was great, although a little pricey. Especially the iced coffee because they fill Ashley was an excellent server, vigilant and nice.

server was the best! manager was awesome! 5 starsssssss good food great food best place ever:)))))))))

Ruby Slippers has become a local favorite for me and my boys, especially for our weekend brunch outings. It's always packed, buzzing with a steady flow of patrons that speaks volumes about the fresh, top-quality food hitting the tables. The service is consistently top shelf, the drinks spot-on, and the menu delivers a touch of New Orleans flair without the drive--think flavorful dishes that keep everyone coming back satisfied. There's a natural rhythm here, with families and friends settling in, savoring their meals, and heading out with smiles. It's the kind of place where the consistent crowd tells you the grub's both good and worth the stop every time. read more

We walked in shortly after they opened and there weren't many customers so speed of service shouldn't have been an issue. We ordered an appetizer with in the first 10 minutes of arriving. 30ish minutes later people who were seated after us were eating and we hadn't received our app yet, never mind our regular food order. When we asked what was going on the waitress hadn't even put our order in yet. Needless to say we left. read more

The food was amazing and our waitress was great. Ashley was quick with getting our order, very social, and attentive. Will definitely be back. read more

This is my third consecutive somewhat negative experience in the last 3 months so I felt I needed to post a review. Server had too many tables and was not able to be fully attentive to all. Our food was brought to the table cold after an unusually long wait after ordering. Server just seemed to be overwhelmed. The overall dining experience from seated to paying the ticket was almost 1hour and 35 minutes. Entirely too long. I did enjoy the fresh coffee and the casual dining atmosphere. This is post is not to deter any visitors to Ruby Slipper, but to hopefully get the owners to invest in more employees to get the dining experience back to what it was or better. read more

When we arrived, it was busy but not overly so. The noise level was pretty low for the number of people, and I really appreciated that. We opted for first available seating and were seated quickly on the patio and our server, Marcus, took great care of us! He helped with suggestions and I ordered the White Chocolate Bread Pudding pancakes, chicken sausage and eggs. Although the pancakes were thinner than I would have liked, the flavor was amazing! Also, the chicken sausage was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. Marcus kept the coffee coming and made sure it was steaming hot. Overall, a great experience! read more

Ashley C gave amazing service, food order was quick and taste delicious........................,.........

I loved this restaurant!! However, the one in Lafayette is by far not up to par with this one. I had the chicken with french toast bites and it was delicious!! Our service was very fast even though it was Sunday brunch time. We did have to wait maybe 25 minutes for a table but there is a Trader Joe's right next door so we just shopped around for a bit then we got called in!! Waitress was also very nice, well, all the wait staff was actually. 10/10 would recommend!! ( side note: all the food looked fantastic and it really tasted as good as it looked) read more

The service was good, the food was ok. I could have just been what I ordered but they cooked it very hard. Almost like they over cook their food. The lady sitting my me, had a hard biscuit. She had them give her another one because it was hard as a brick. I opted for the Southern BLT it was decent, very dry could have probably used some jam or something to go with it. My mimosa was pretty good. I should have gotten the flight because I wanted more after drinking that one mimosa. The ambience was good, met two nice ladies at the bar. We chatted, drank and laughed together. I would like to try a different location to see what all the Ruby Slipper fuss is about. The two ladies at the bar I met said the New Orleans location is better. read more

We got on the wait list (15-20 mins) for a family of 4. An hour later, we noticed multiple people came in and were placed on the list and then seated before we were ever seated. 30 mins later I then asked the wait staff about us, and they said they forgot and then seated us. We ordered our food and drinks, I ordered coffee and a water as drinks. Coffee was never refilled, even asking for more coffee. We saw our waitress 3 times, once when we ordered, once when we got our food, and once when we paid the bill. After I paid the bill, she asked if I wanted a refill of water. I told here no that we were leaving. The food was decent but the service was not. I do not recommend this place. read more

Ruby Slipper in Baton Rouge is the definition of Southern hospitality and comfort food done right! I came in for breakfast and was immediately welcomed by the warm and friendly atmosphere. My amazing server, Ashley, truly made the experience special--her kindness and enthusiasm made me feel like I was dining in the home of a friend. Her easy smile was disarming and her pleasant way made the whole experience deliciously enjoyable. I ordered the ruby buttermilk biscuits and sausage country gravy with two eggs over medium, and crispy, applewood bacon, and let me tell you--pure breakfast perfection! The biscuits were fluffy, the gravy rich and savory, and the eggs cooked exactly the way I like them. But Ashley convinced me to try the peaches and cream beignets, and I am so glad she did! These are New Orleans style beignets with vanilla cheesecake and peach, compote, topped with whiskey, cream sauce, whipped cream, and cinnamon graham crumble. Immediate love affair. They were a heavenly blend of crispy, soft, and sweet--a must-try for anyone visiting. Ruby Slipper is the kind of place that makes you want to linger, soak in the friendly vibe, and savor every bite. They have a full bar and outdoor dining. If you're looking for a wonderful neighborhood dining experience in Baton Rouge, this spot should be at the top of your list! #foodporn #foodphotography #healthyfood #Louisiana #BatonRouge #Comfortfood #beignets #breakfast read more
