I got the Shrimp Cortez which was very tasty, especially with some hot sauce. Lovely service (shoutout to Jaelyn!). Would come back again on another visit. read more

We travel with a pack who have a wide range of allergy issues, gluten, lactose, no spicy to name a few, lol. The cafe was more than happy to cater to all of them. The service was friendly and fast. Bonus points to being dog friendly, as one of my girlfriends has her device gog with her. And last but not least... those biscuits? Yesss! read more

The food was amazing! Our server Jaelyn was super friendly and attentive. Highly recommended guests from Florida.

Waitress was Jennifer and she was immediately friendly and inviting. Ordered fried chicken Benedict and the pork Benedict and OH WOW!!!!! The biscuits were soooo soft and flavorful the poached eggs were nicely cooked and the hollandaise was spot on! Everything about my meal was filling and wonderful! read more

So to start theres a 45-1 hour wait which is fine, but when we got messaged that we were up we walked back to the cafe and they asked if the bar was ok? But no we wanted a table why did they have us come back if a table wasn't ready, so we had to wait again. We watched the same thing happen to someone else while we were there. About the service, our waitress really didn't seem to know much or care at all about helping us. She wouldn't really explain to us about our questions and nothing was it all customizable she would just say no? Why does the food come in prepackaged? The chicken eggs Benedict wasn't bad the only reason this is 2 stars but the "brioche" french toast was just like the french toast I used to make in middle school with wonder bread, the picture speaks for itself. read more

Ruby Slipper Decatur - "Brioche" french toast? - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

The food was incredible (we ordered several items, all amazing) but the service was the best I've personally ever experienced. Judit (our waitress) made the experience so much fun and enjoyable. HIGHLY recommend this restaurant! read more

Had to dip off and try one of the breakfast nooks in the neighborhood. Many places do not offer too many vegan options... but I was able to pull together a hearty breakfast... not bad read more

We dined here during Mardi Gras weekend 2020. Due to Covid, I'm late on the review but it was already written. I wanted to give the restaurant its review. The breakfast and the service is phenomenal. We arrived here 9 AM and the wait was 20 minutes but went by fast. When we were leaving, the wait climbed to 1hr and 15 minutes. We sat at the bar, the food and drinks came fast. I highly recommend the shrimp and grits (it's a small but flavorful portion), banana Forster French toast (warning it is very sweet and flavorful), and the Morning Margarita. The biscuits were big and doughy but the sweet butter served alongside was phenomenal. Overall, I highly recommend you must eat here while in NOLA. read more

Food is amazing! Not only was it tasty, but the service was pretty quick. The fried green tomatoes was amazing.

I went out to brunch with my coworker on Wednesday and loved our server Jenny. She recommended some delicious choices and we weren't disappointed. She was such a delight. read more

The food is good, you will need to wait around 30 to 45 mins to find a table. Service was incredible but the place looks kind of dirty!

Good food and service. Great biscuits. Coffee not so much. Preferred to eat outside as the inside was over air-conditioned. In fact, it was so cold the windows were all dripping with condensation. read more

The Benedict's were AMAZING. Very well cooked. I ordered the Peacemaker, which is two mix and match Benedicts, but I should have ordered the Trifecta and gotten one more. The white chocolate pancakes were fluffy and so flavorful! The vanilla spiced latte was also great. Above all, our waitress Judit was honestly the best waitress I have ever had. She accommodated our food allergies without having to repeat them. She was two steps ahead and we never had to ask for help. Will be back again! read more

Words can barely explain how delicious this restaurant is! We've been to New Orleans many many times over the years and always passed this restaurant up either because we had already eater or because it was packed. Today was a good day because we were seated right away! From the time we walked in to the end of the meal, it was a dream! I eat gluten free and they have a full, yes a full gluten free menu along with Keto and vegetarian options! I wanted to cry!! I had the gluten free French toast and the creamy vanilla spiced latte with almond milk and I was a happy girl!! Love, love, love!!! Our waitress Terriell was amazing and offered up great suggestions! Ask for her!! This is our new go to breakfast spot in NOLA!! read more

All of the food was absolutely delicious!! Our waiter was polite and kept our drinks full, the food came out quickly and everyone left very satisfied. The spanish omelette was superb, the grits were great (obviously) and the corned beef hash was also amazing!! Highly recommend read more

Delicious and creative breakfast. Several different types of pancakes. I enjoyed the Fish St Charles. The crunchy grits cake that was the base of the dish was top notch. Recommend trying it in other applications - even if you are not a seafood person. Also enjoyed the Bloody Mary (made w bacon vodka). They have other locations so might be worth seeking out... read more

Ruby slipper was highly recommended by several blogs and friends. It's a must for brunch. We checked in through the app and go a table for 6 while others were in line. read more

My Family and I had breakfast here on Sunday. The food was excellent and delicious. Our Server was Teerica and she was wonderful. I asked her what would she suggest for breakfast and she recommended the Peacemaker. It was a great recommendation for it was DELISH!! she knows food!! She was very friendly and very tentative. She made sure that we were satisfied and our dinning experience were great. We will be back and ask for her again. It's rare to find good food and excellent service at the same time and same place. Thank you Teerica! read more

Oh, Lord, what happened to the Ruby Slipper I used to know?! We moved out of NO about two years ago, and were excited to come back and find a Ruby Slipper in our old neighborhood (with no wait on a Saturday morning!). Everything about our experience was mediocre to bad, though. Our mimosas tasted like melted plastic (we eventually learned that it was the super cheap sparkling wine they use), and we had to talk to THREE people to rectify it. My friend replaced his with their Irish coffee, which came unsweetened and undrinkable. The food was mediocre, and a far cry from the consistent deliciousness I was used to from RS. It could just be this location, but it's a hard pass from me on coming back. read more

This is always a favorite stop for me in NOLA. It has some of the best brunch food in the city and at both locations the food is on point. Hours are perfect...best time to dine in is before 8 AM as they open at 7 AM. There is usually a wait there after, but they are quick to get you seated and served. Their menu is eclectic and super yummy. Just remember they close at 2 PM so make sure to put this on your stop for breakfast, brunch or lunch. You will never be disappointed. read more

Amazing! We coming from Houston for a concert , had brunch there today and it was outstanding amazing! We sat quickly outside , weather was perfect, patio is beautiful and spacious.. Our waiter Cameron was helpful and friendly; our drinks ( The bacon infused bloody Mary ) and other two I don't remember the name were so yummy!! He talk about the menu with us making so easy what to get ; food didn't took much and it was hot and with amazing flavor and presentation.. I truly recommend this place ; everyone is friendly and nice , we will come back. Keep it going ; was the best restaurant during our visit on New Orleans. Bye lol read more

One of the best brunch spots I've ever had! From the various Benedicts, to the pancakes and French toast, everything was incredibly tasty. Judit (our server) was an absolute gem and made the experience that much better. read more

One more excellent review. Just beware of the crazy long wait times and add your party to the online wait list. They apparently hire the best of the best. Went with the waitress recommendation and were so pleased. As instructed, will return and order something different. Don't believe you can loose with anything on the menu. read more

Food was amazing! We did have a bit of a wait (like 1hr and 20 mins) but it was worth it! If you are going, add your name to the list. Our waitress was great! I cant remember her name but she has dark hair and the cutest accent! She was hilarious too! I would definitely come back when I'm in NOLA. I did tell the manager on the way out that she was amazing! So if you see this, give her a day off! Thank you for everything! read more

Jennifer was very fast and attentive! Also the food is so amazing we came twice in one week.

We stop here I was looking for something simple like a BLT my husband had the Bayou shrimp, we were happy with our meal specially with our waitress Taylor sweet and kind. The service was fast. The place was clean the atmosphere very happy. read more

I was slightly hesitant to try this place out just because it's a local chain but I was very surprised!! The key to this place is to get there early. My boyfriend and I arrived about 9:35 and we were sat immediately. I put my name on the yelp waitlist just in case but it wasn't needed. While we were sitting and eating, this place filled up quickly! Our server Lizzette was tentative but not too tentative, kind and gave my boyfriend a great recommendation between the 2 plates he was having difficulty picking between. Our coffees were refilled as needed and the food came out quickly. The portions are generous, we were full for hours after our meal! My boyfriend had the St. Charles and it was amazing!! The creole mustard hollandaise sauce is to die for. I even asked if they sold it by the bottle and unfortunately they don't . I had the Spanish omelette (I forgot the name of the dish) with potatoes and a side of corned beef hash. The egg was cooked perfectly with nicely seasoned chorizo sausage. The corned beef hash, their version being a shaved beef, was also very good. We came here on our last full day of our week long trip. We had tried most of the nicer restaurants in the area (Antoines for example) and have been sadly disappointed from poor service to mediocre dishes. My boyfriend had mentioned that this was some of the best food he's had so far on this trip. We love New Orleans (this is our second trip) and I think we will be come back to the Ruby Slipper for sure!! read more

Sunday morning brunch. First morning in town. What a find! Bloody Mary? Yes please. Three variations of eggs Benedict on one plate? Bring it on. If it is true you eat with your eyes, we feasted on every dish that went by our table. I can't tell you what a great experience this was. You must go there for yourself. Join the waiting list as soon as you are able. read more

I won't dare come to NOLA without eating here. It's so worth the wait. Food & service are just amazing. Wish I could pick my favorite dish. I LOVE them all. read more

My experience at the Ruby Slipper Cafe was amazing. The food and ambiance was very good. I enjoyed the classic pancakes, with a side of eggs and crispy bacon. This is a very traditional breakfast option, but that was my craving. I'll go back and eat again the next time I'm in town. It was worth every penny. read more

This was our favorite breakfast in all of New Orleans. The pork Benedict was amazing! We were there early and got great service, cocktails, and food. Most highly recommended breakfast. read more

The service was super quick and we had the sweetest server Angelina . She was very considerate and easy going. The place was busy but nice and cool. My fried green tomatoes were so good. Glad my fam recommended this place. Be back again soon! read more

Loved this place. The food was delicious and our server, Judit, was the absolute best!!!

Worth the wait time! Kay Kay took excellent care of us and the food was incredible.

Great service, thanks Jaelyn! The OG Benedict for the win this morning. Biscuits were perfect as well!

The food was fantastic and our server Judit was awesome. Very friendly and attentive and helpful. they didn't have bananas foster French toast today but she saw how I disappointed I was because we are visiting New Orleans and I came to Ruby Slipper just for that. So she asked the chef and he made it especially for me. The food was so delicious. Great way to start a day in the Crescent City. read more

service was horrible. we called ahead for reservation. Rude woman who must be a hostess skipped our party several times. Waited in 90 degree heat. Do not go. read more

Food was delicious, service was delightful. Not the best beignets in NOLA, but I think the best eggs Beni for sure!! Service was great, atmosphere was super fun and friendly! Came recommended to me by a local LA resident- totally legit! read more

We were lucky enough to be able to dine in during early November. The service was amazing and the food was excellent! Our server shared her suggestions including a specialty coffee that she refilled for free :) We will refer all of our friends traveling to NOLA! read more

Ruby Slipper is da bomb. Christy, very genuine, not fake morning stuff. Lead us through great menu choices. Bloody Mary was perfect too! Check in online and avoid the huge wait times. Can't wait to go back! read more
