The food was really good. I got the classic breakfast sandwich with scrambled eggs and an extra biscuit on the side. I was extremely hungry after running the saints 5k. The service wasn't the worst but it wasn't the best ! Which is why I rated it this way. read more

Firstly, I want to mention that there was a mouse running around the establishment. I understand that the surrounding area is dense and old, which increases the chances of mice breeding. However, I still think its on the restaurant to maintain a clean and safe environment. Service was great! It was the first place I ate in and I could really feel the Southern Hospitality. Food was just okay. The french toast bites tasted like straight sugar if you're into that. I had the Trifecta and only the Bayou Shrimp Benedict was worth writing about. The cochon and chicken benedicts were bland. The biscuits for all 3 were soggy. read more

Even with a reservation we found that we still had a wait. When I'm hangry this already gets me going. However with that being said the food and the waitress redeemed themselves. The place itself is charming, the staff is great and of course the food speaks for itself. read more

I was looking for a breakfast spot and walked into this place. Looks like the Ruby Slipper is a chain. I saw a handful of them within a couple blocks. I didn't like the seating at the one closest to the hotel, but this one wasn't that much further, in terms of walking distance. They offer seating both inside and outdoors. There's counter seating in the center with tables surrounding it. The place was crowded, but I still found a table off to the side to the left. I could see the small kitchen in the back from where I was seated. This place is popular. I ordered the Truck Latte ($5) and Mota's that started out at $12.75, but ended up costing $2 more because every additional recommendation David G made cost $1 (Add Coubion, $1 + Add Pico De Gallo, $1), which is what I noticed about New Orleans. My food and drink tasted fine. I probably didn't really need all the extras. He did offer to fill my latte cup with coffee, but I didn't take him up on that offer because that sort of defeats the purpose of ordering a latte. Service was overall friendly and efficient. As I was looking around though, I was wondering what letter grade they would have if they were in Los Angeles. read more

Ruby Slipper is this fun, chaotic cafe that offers a very unique take on NOLA cuisine. Located just off of Canal Street, this establishment is very easy to find. Once inside, you will see a spacious environment with tables all over the place, plus a nice central counter space. What they offer is their own brand of Americana. There are really a lot of choices on their menu and all of them are very well prepared and tasty. The have food to fulfill all palettes and dietary desires. One of the fun things about this cafe is their staff. From my experience, they are all super high energy and really take care of their customers. The one thing I will say, again from my experience(s), is that they are all a bit of an up-seller. For example, when you are ordering, whatever it is you want from their menu, they will suggest something like putting avocado on it. "That's how I like it," they will say. Or, they may suggest something else. The one thing that they do not tell you is that every addition, no matter how small, will cost you. So, just keep that in mind as you meal may end up costing you more than expected. This is a very popular restaurant. With this, sometimes the staff can be stretched a little thin. This, though there are a lot of them. Just keep that in mind as during rush hours, you may have a bit of a wait. Overall, great place to get a good meal. read more

Visiting Ruby Slipper today with my wife, we hoped for a pleasant meal to beat the heat, but our experience was disappointing and marred by subtle racism. Upon being seated, I took out my bandana to wipe off sweat, and our waiter, immediately singled me out, commenting, "Ya'll from California," as if to highlight my appearance. While we exchanged some small talk, the service quickly revealed unequal treatment: our coffee was served in plain paper cups, whereas nearby white couples and families received proper ceramic mugs. When our food arrived--a banana foster French toast with eggs over easy and bacon, plus the trifecta--the bacon was missing. After waiting 20 minutes with no resolution, we finished what was served, paid, and left without addressing the issue further. This combination of dismissive behavior, unequal service, and incomplete order made for a frustrating experience. This will be our first and last visit to Ruby Slipper. read more

Ruby Slipper Central Business District - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Had a great brunch experience at Ruby Slipper. The food was excellent: fresh, flavorful, and exactly what we hoped for when visiting a New Orleans brunch spot. The menu offers plenty of creative Southern inspired options, and everything we ordered was well prepared. Marvin was friendly, attentive, and efficient. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, with a fun New Orleans vibe that made the meal even more enjoyable. The only reason for the 4-star rating instead of 5 is the restaurant's inflexible substitution policy. I wanted to substitute for a single pancake, but that wasn't an option. It's a small issue, but a little more flexibility with simple substitutions would go a long way toward improving the customer experience. Overall, I'd definitely return and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality brunch in New Orleans. read more

Rudy's Slipper was a fun brunch stop, and while the Benedict was solid, the fried green tomatoes were definitely the star of the show! I tried The Peacemaker, which lets you mix and match two Benedict options: Chicken St. Charles Benedict :Fried chicken breast served over a buttermilk biscuit with two poached eggs. I'll admit, I was nervous because I am NOT a poached egg person, but I'm so glad I stepped outside my comfort zone. The egg was cooked perfectly, and the whole dish came together really well. Bayou Shrimp Benedict :Gulf shrimp with pork tasso and Creole tomato sauce served over poached eggs and fried green tomatoes. Unfortunately, this one wasn't my favorite. The Creole tomato sauce didn't quite complement the flavors for me. My cousin ordered the Hot Honey Chicken Biscuit which was fried chicken tossed in hot honey glaze on a buttermilk biscuit with breakfast potatoes and enjoyed it. But let's talk about those Fried Green Tomatoes! Omgggg they were topped with lettuce, remoulade, fresh tomatoes, and a bacon-onion jam. The crunch from the batter was everything, but that BACON JAM was the unexpected highlight! I would definitely return to explore more of the menu. There are still plenty of dishes I want to try. #Flavorchaser Approved read more

Ruby Slipper Central Business District - French Toast and chicken bites - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Went for the hype at Ruby Slipper Cafe and unfortunately... it just wasn't it for me. Used the app for reservations which at least helped put us on the waitlist, but there wasn't really an option for indoor vs outdoor seating and we ended up inside. Since it's such a popular spot, service was definitely slow. We were seated sandwiched between two other couples and overheard how delayed orders were, so we decided to order everything all at once. We got the fried green tomatoes, mimosa flight, cappuccino, and a boozy iced coffee. The mimosa flight was actually a LOT, and because it took so long for the server to come back around, I had to slow down my drinking just to pace myself with the food coming out. For food, I had the trifecta of bennies -- and I think we also got an omelet. I didn't even finish the trifecta, but to be fair, it's a LOT of food. The seafood bennie just wasn't giving what I hoped for. I've had some amazing crab cake bennies from smaller mom-and-pop spots, so I know how good they can be, but this one just missed the mark for me. The breaded chicken bennie was actually pretty good though, and the pulled pork/beef one wasn't bad either. The fried green tomatoes caught me off guard because they had a sweeter sauce or jam on them -- not what I expected, so I'd personally pass next time. I know a lot of people come here for brunch and bachelorette trips, but after going myself... I honestly don't really get the hype. read more

Brunch at Ruby Slipper Cafe was actually really cute for Mother's Day. It was PACKED, but the vibe was nice and they gave all the moms a sweet little card and a carnation, which was a thoughtful touch. The mimosa flight was overpriced and honestly... still nasty but that's probably my fault for thinking this time would be different. The morning margarita though? GOOD. New Orleans never misses when it comes to strong drinks. I had the trifecta eggs Benedict with three different styles and it was really good. The fried green tomatoes with the bacon jam were probably my favorite thing we ordered -- absolutely delicious and definitely recommend. My oldest daughter tried poached eggs for the first time with her Blackstone Benedict and loved it. It also came with a fresh little salad that balanced everything out nicely. My youngest got the hot honey fried chicken sandwich. Couldn't really taste the hot honey, but the chicken itself was fried perfectly, super tender, and flavorful. Overall, cute brunch spot, good food, strong drinks, and a nice Mother's Day experience. read more

Everything was lovely, from a surprisingly short wait time on JazzFest weekend, to quick service and great recommendations, to food served fresh, hot and delicious. The decor was nice and welcoming, with plenty of space between tables which is an issue with some NOLA restaurants.

Love the Ruby Slipper. The wait can take awhile, but the service is super friendly and the food is delicious. I love the avocado toast which comes with fried capers and pickled onions. My spouse picked three of the eggs Benedicts. The chicken Saint Charles was the favorite of the three. The tasso sauce was so good and the fried chicken was so flavorful. We also get an order of bananas foster french toast for the table. So yummy!! read more

Went here for lunch were we started with the fried green tomatoes. The waitress was awesome and when I asked for them plain she convinced me to try them as the menu described them. They were delicious and then since I like my fried green tomatoes she brought me a couple plain. I would say put it on the menu as an option please. I then ordered their southern BLT ( guess what it had fried green tomatoes on it ) sandwich hit the spot for me. I enjoyed the overall jazzy type of southern hospitality and again I can't say enough on our waitress. I'll do my best to hit here again prior to leaving read more

One can never go wrong with visiting Ruby Slipper. Its always a must while visiting. The food is always delicious and made to my liking. The patio seating while visiting allowed up to enjoy the view as people went about their day. SOUTHERN BREAKFAST: I chose scrambled eggs, stone-ground grits, Applewood-smoked bacon, fried green tomato a buttermilk biscuit. 5/5 Mocktail sparkling sunrise: muddled fresh strawberries & Crofter's strawberry preserves with fresh lime juice, Natalie's Blood Orange Juice, and San Pellegrino Sparkling Limonata. I absolutely loved this one as it was so refreshing and full of flavor with a hint of fizz. Rosa was an amazing server!!! read more

Very good breakfast last minute! Having a very large group we came here to try and get a quick bite late in the morning. They were able to accommodate a group of 10 with only a 30 minute wait and got the food out pretty quick. The food was very good for being a large popular chain. My friends loved the shrimp and grits, and I absolutely adored the fact that you could mix and match the Benedict's. This is a great spot for brunch if you're not looking for a quaint local business. read more

This was one of my favorite breakfast spots in New Orleans! I got the cinnamon roll pancakes, an order of home fries, a glass of apple juice, and a buttermilk biscuit. The cinnamon roll pancakes had crispy edges, which I love in a pancake, and they were flavorful. The icing tasted homemade, too. The biscuit was buttery with a nice crunch on the outside. The home fries were a major miss for me, as they were hard and definitely needed to be cooked a little longer. The apple juice was also lukewarm, which was a major turnoff, especially because of how hot the day was. I'd definitely try this place again in person the next time I'm in New Orleans! read more

Ruby Slipper lives up to the hype. The food is consistently amazing -- the shrimp and grits are chef's kiss, the biscuits are stellar, and even the sweet tea is on point. Everything I've tried has been delicious, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality. They also have a full bar right in the middle of the restaurant, which just adds to the vibe. Brunch and booze for the win. You can check in online via Yelp or their website, which is super helpful since there's usually a wait. Just make sure you select the correct location, because there are several Ruby Slippers within walking distance. I accidentally checked in at the wrong one, but the staff was incredibly kind and still accommodated us. Great service, great energy, great food. This was my second visit, and it definitely won't be my last. read more

The food and service were fantastic. Best grits we had on our trip. We sat outside and it was a bit chilly and rainy, but that's not the restaurant's fault!

Holy hell!! This place has it going on! The food on three different visits during my trip there for a conference. It was in walking distance and had good reviews so I decided to give it a shot! I got the peacemaker. This option let you choose two Benny from their list. The first trip I got the chicken st Charles, which was basically a chicken and waffle benny, and the eggs cochon with the apple braised pork! Sooooo good!! The eggs cochon shined like a constellation mapping the food gods and pointing to right here at this point on the planet!! Second visit I did the same thing but this time got eggs cochon AGAIN!! Since it was amazing but the second one I got the Bayou shrimp! Oh man, it drooling just thinking about it! Both were so much fire!! I couldn't even stop the happy dance I was doing in my seat! I sat at the bar and even the bartenders were cool as hell and both agreed they love the bennys! Third time I was in a rush had to bring the coworkers and got the same thing again!! The Bayou Shrimp was missing the the pork bits but hey you can't win them all! I'm still giving 5 stars because has I not know that I would have still been and was still a happy camper! One of the other guys got the veggie benny and it looked soo yummy! He was also impressed as he was Indian and never had hollandaise before. WHAAAAAAT!?! Mind blown, haha and so was his!! I'm glad we did this! Thank you guys for such a great place! read more
