Excellent service from Alejandro. He gave us excellent recommendations and everything that I ate was the delicious. I had the trifecta eggs Benedict and it was Yum Yum Yum. He recommended the Creamsicle beignets and they were delicious with that cheesecake sauce. The vibe was great and the food even better. Glad to have come to this location. read more

You can't go wrong with a breakfast at any of their locations. Their eggs Benedict are absolutely amazing. The coffee is hot and the service is amazing. The food is really fresh and they have a Cajun twist to most dishes which is perfect for another visiting or anyone craving a good Cajun dish. It's a must try and must repeat if you're ever in the area! read more

A very popular brunch spot in French Quarter area, lots of visitors in the morning hours, meaning long lines. Use the online waitlist to save yourself some time. Our table was ready when we arrived at the restaurant, after joining waitlist online, that gave us an estimate of 30 minutes. The restaurant itself looks decent, appears to be little under maintained. Certainly can use a make over. The menu is printed on nice laminated paper, with lots of unique southern style breakfast items, and of course lots of cocktails. We started with the French toast bites. Really well made with some nice topping of sugar powder and cream. My entree was chicken st charles. The poached eggs were lovely. Fried chicken were little over cooked. The buttermilk biscuits and tasso sauce were very complimentary to the dish. The service was decent. Our server was really busy, but she did her best to check on us. Overall this is one of the better dining options around area, especially the food is good for hung over crowd :P read more

This place is outstanding. Service top notch. The manager, Lisa excellent. I had the Benedict trio and was blown away. Poached eggs done to perfection on house made biscuits in 3 different styles. The French toast starter was great so I assume the entree is as well. Their menu is comprehensive to say the least so I had a hard time choosing. Other members of our party had breakfast sandwiches, biscuits and gravy, pancakes. All excellent. The bloody Mary's were top notch too. I know they have several locations around New Orleans but this does not in any way feel like a chain or franchise establishment. Corner eatery vibes all throughout. Would definitely recommend. read more

Ruby Slipper Cafe had quick service. My best recommendation to you all is to definitely join the waitlist ahead of time, our party of 6 bypassed a large group of people. I ordered the chicken and french toast and I was not disappointed. The sauce was sweet and spicy, giving me that taste of the South I was looking for. The cafe is small so do not expect to fit large parties in here, this was a great brunch. When I visit NOLA again, I'm stopping by. read more

Wow, this place was amazing from start to finish and really set the mood for our weekend away. We were greeted by Nandi, who was sweet and smiling and let us know it would be a little wait. While waiting we got a boozy coffee. After a 5am flight it was exactly what we needed, strong and woke us right up and ready to explore Nola for the first time. Our server Chris was a WHOLE VIBE! We loved him! (Hi Chris :D hope you read this!) He was cheerful, attentive, and gave us great recommendations for food and things to do in Nola. We ended up ordering the Pig candy bacon bites (So delicious), Trifecta and Migas. Both entrees were really good but the shrimp benedict was my favorite. We were so impressed and happy with our first visit to Ruby Slipper, that we went again the following morning. Again, we had Chris as our server and we got to talk to him and the manager Alex. We truly felt like they were our longtime friends and could probably sit there and talk to them for hours. They made us feel so welcomed and were both such genuine souls. We are so happy we decided to visit Ruby Slipper and truly are so appreciative for the hospitality of Chris, Alex, and the whole staff there. This place rocks, so go! You will not be disappointed! :) Tip: go on their website to join the waitlist cause it is always so busy there. read more

Ruby Slipper is always a good choice and never disappoints. The Bennie's are my go to choices. This time I tried the tomato Bennie's which has red tomato's and fried green tomato's. The fried green tomatoes are very crispy. Eggs are always cooked to perfection. This place started my love of Bennie's so I always recommend this route. It is always busy so expect to wait but it is sooo worth it. We added ourselves to the waitlist beforehand but still ended up waiting about 30 minutes outside the restaurant around 9 am.

Joel is professional and kind; He's full of personality and definitely knows his stuff!! I highly recommend having a reservation. We were seated immediately due to having a reservation. The vibe of the location is the best. The colors and setting will brighten up your day. We'll thought out set up. Our server Aurry was amazing. She provided great service and awesome recommendations from drinks, apps and eats! Her personality was very pleasant and sweet. She was attentive but not overwhelming at all. Both Aurry and Joel contributed to the overall experience making it great. The FOOD was a HIT. Everything ordered was presented beautifully and delicious!!! The executive chef is definitely cooking very very well!!! We loved the Blue Crab Ragoon App as well as the Crab Cakes. There was nothing left on the plates. For entrées we had Banana Foster Pain Perdu, Side of Duck Bacon, Hashbrown, 100% Seafood Gumbo and Fried Catfish. Everything was seasoned to perfection and hot!!! Last but definitely not least are the Cocktails which were very good. Try the Cold Brew Martini if you like iced coffee type drinks and also try the Strawberry Lemon drop for a sweet treat. Both taste great and have a nice amount of spirits in them. This is a must try in NOLA. Will definitely return!!

Cracked Brunch was a little bit of a mixed bag for me, but there were definitely some highlights…read morethat would bring me back! I ordered the chicken sandwich with mac & cheese on the side. The chicken sandwich itself was really good and honestly ended up being the star of my meal. The chicken was crispy, flavorful, and the sandwich was filling enough that I was perfectly fine eating it on its own. Unfortunately, my mac & cheese was cold in the middle, so I sent it back and swapped it for the hash browns. The hash browns weren't really my favorite either, so at that point I just accepted that the chicken sandwich and I were going to ride this thing out together. My husband, on the other hand, is a TRUE breakfast person, so this was much more his territory. He ordered a steak breakfast bowl topped with eggs. He enjoyed it overall, but felt like it could've used a little more seasoning. He ended up asking for some aioli on the side, which helped give it the extra flavor he was looking for. Now the chicken and waffles? THAT was the fun part. The presentation was adorable, with the chicken served alongside the waffle cone-style presentation, and naturally I ended up eating most of his chicken. The chicken was really good, and even though I'm not a huge waffle person, I tried some of the waffle too and enjoyed what I had. It was definitely the more memorable dish at the table. I also really liked the atmosphere. It's cute, bright, and feels made for brunch, so aesthetically they understood the assignment. Overall, there were some execution issues with my sides, especially being served mac & cheese that was cold in the center, but the chicken dishes were good enough that I still enjoyed the experience. My husband enjoyed his breakfast overall, and I'd come back and give them another shot. Next time, though, I'm sticking with the chicken because clearly that's where they had me.

I was quite skeptical of having banana peppers in a breakfast sandwich however was pleasantly surprise the extra crunch and vinegar flavor that added to the sandwich. It didn't overpower the sandwich at all and simply added to its flavor palate. I also tried the lemon celery soda, it had a hint of both and wasn't overpowering. It was interesting to try but I wouldn't necessarily try again. Service was super sweet. You order at the counter and then you find your seats. We were a bigger crowd of about 7 and thankfully found two tables that one of the workers had graciously moved together. It was busy for a rightfully so Saturday morning so patience is key although food came out quick! The decorations were pretty unique lots of 90s and early 2000s kids toys line the walls and your number is a trophy. The restaurant has good food and its own charm.

You have to wait in line to order/pay so depending on how difficult the group(s)/people(s) orders are ahead of you, will dictate how fast this process will go. The place is much bigger than I initially expected. There are 2 floors with seating. It would be hard to accommodate a large party but there's plenty of seating. I live the old 80's/90's theme and decor. Such a great throwback. We ordered 2 drip coffees (you get them in a to-go cups but you can get free refills), and the Grand Slam McMuffin. Both were great. Wish the sandwiches were bigger for the price you pay. $11.50 for a breakfast sandwich is pretty steep, but it's the price you pay considering everything is homemade. I would also like to point out that there is a discrepancy on the price of adding an egg. The menu says it's $2 more but we were charged $2.50. They should really update their menu or be upfront about it. Overall a great place to have a great breakfast. * Please note that you're not allowed to have someone save a table while another waits in line to order. You must order first before being allowed to take a table.

We checked into our nearby hotel a bit early in the day and was looking to hit the streets for a spot to get a chill/light breakfast, a coffee and maybe a cocktail. We found all the things at Luzianne Cafe. Whether you belly up to the bar or grab a table, both of which are first come first serve, you start at the counter where you order, pay and grab your table number. It appears that during busy times they allow you to sit first and order from the QR at your table, this is an assumption given the code to order at the table, but the sign at the entry directed folks to the counter to order before sitting. For breakfast, we got the breakfast biscuit which came with eggs, bacon and cheese, and sided it with grits. The breakfast sandwich was solid, eggs were a bit soft and grits were more mealy than we are used to, but I think that may be authenticity of the area more than anything. I opted for the three option omelet with onion, sausage and gouda plus a side of sausage links. The omelet, though odd sounding combination turned out to be solid. Maybe it was my options, but it was decently "one note" in flavor. I tossed a little hot sauce on and that helped. However, while the sausage links were not much to look at, they were tasty, with a nice snap to the casing and meaty inside. To go with our breakfast, I got a cold brew with a splash of almond milk while my partner embraced NOLA and started his day with a bourbon sour. Both of us enjoyed our choices! Service was friendly and helpful at the counter/bar. The food runner was nice and then another member, assuming the Manager, that stopped by to check on us mid meal. She was super friendly and nice.

When it comes to breakfast and brunch spots in New Orleans, The Ruby Slipper on 204 Decatur is a true standout. As someone who has had their fair share of eggs benedicts, I can confidently say that this charming establishment delivers a dining experience that is nothing short of extraordinary. One of the highlights at The Ruby Slipper is their exceptional eggs benedicts. In particular, the Trifecta featuring three different variations of this classic dish left me in awe. Each benedict surpassed the last in terms of flavor and execution. The pièce de résistance was undoubtedly the perfect hollandaise sauce that graced each of the eggs. Its velvety texture and rich flavor elevated every bite to new heights of indulgence. But let's talk about the seafood. The Gulf shrimp benedict showcased the freshest, most succulent shrimp I have ever tasted. Their natural sweetness shone through, perfectly complementing the other components of the dish. And the fried chicken benedict? Well, the crispy chicken atop the benedict was a revelation. Its golden exterior gave way to juicy and tender meat, adding a delightful twist to this breakfast classic. What truly sets The Ruby Slipper apart is their unparalleled execution and ability to weave a captivating culinary tale through their dishes. The attention to detail is evident in every bite. The sauce accompanying the benedicts was flawlessly emulsified, striking the perfect balance of richness and tanginess. And let's not forget about the poached eggs--the yolks were a work of art, boasting an impeccable "jammy" consistency that added an extra layer of decadence. During my visit, my wife had the fried chicken and French toast dish. This creation showcased the restaurant's creativity and culinary prowess. The execution was flawless, and the French toast had a unique twist reminiscent of panzanella or French toast croutons. It was a delightful departure from the ordinary, leaving a lasting impression on our palates. The Ruby Slipper not only excels in culinary innovation but also provides impeccable service. The staff's attention to detail and genuine passion for their craft is evident from the moment you step through the door. The servers are knowledgeable, friendly, and go above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience. If you find yourself in the vibrant city of New Orleans, a visit to The Ruby Slipper is an absolute must. This gem of a restaurant seamlessly combines creativity, flawless execution, and exceptional service. Whether you're a local or a visitor, The Ruby Slipper is sure to leave an indelible mark on your culinary journey. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. read more

Title: A Culinary Gem with a Dash of Quirk: Ruby Slipper Cafe Review Nestled in the heart of New Orleans , Louisiana the Ruby Slipper Cafe offers a tantalizing fusion of flavors and a memorable dining experience that captures the essence of Southern cuisine. During a recent visit, I had the pleasure of indulging in their renowned biscuits and gravy, a dish that left an indelible mark on my taste buds. The biscuits and gravy at Ruby Slipper Cafe are a triumph of culinary artistry. The biscuits, baked to perfection, boasted a delicate balance of flakiness and tenderness. Paired with a rich and flavorful gravy that was a symphony of savory notes, this dish provided a hearty and comforting culinary encounter. The marriage of textures and taste was a true testament to the kitchen's dedication to quality and creativity. While the cuisine was undeniably a highlight, the service left something to be desired. Our waiter, regrettably, fell short of delivering the kind of attentive and polished service one might expect from an establishment of this caliber. However, amidst this minor setback, a shining star emerged in the form of Brian, a dishwasher with an infectious sense of humor. His presence injected a delightful touch of levity into the dining experience, turning what could have been a lackluster encounter into an unforgettable one. Brian's wit and charm resonated with patrons and provided a refreshing and unexpected layer of entertainment. In summary, the Ruby Slipper Cafe exudes an undeniable charm with its delectable dishes and quirky personalities. While the waiter's service left room for improvement, the true gem of the visit was the culinary artistry that graced our table. Furthermore, the unexpected joy brought forth by dishwasher Brian added an unexpected and memorable twist to our dining adventure. For those seeking a blend of Southern comfort food and a touch of lighthearted amusement, the Ruby Slipper Cafe is a destination well worth exploring. read more

As a devoted fan of the Ruby family, my expectations were sky-high when I stepped into the Ruby Slipper Cafe in New Orleans after my delightful experiences at their sister restaurant, Ruby Sunrise in Charleston, SC. I'm thrilled to report that the Ruby Slipper not only met but exceeded those expectations, firmly establishing itself as a #ThatBrunchLife essential. From the moment I walked in, the warmth of Southern hospitality enveloped me. The staff greeted me with genuine smiles and an eagerness to make my dining experience memorable. The atmosphere was a cozy embrace, with a vibrant yet comforting decor that paid homage to the soul of New Orleans. The menu was a love letter to Southern cuisine with an innovative twist. Each dish I tried was a masterpiece, but the standout was their signature Eggs Cochon - a decadent masterpiece of slow-cooked apple-braised pork debris over a biscuit, topped with perfectly poached eggs and hollandaise. It was a symphony of flavors that danced harmoniously on the palate. Comparing it to Ruby Sunrise in Charleston, where the shrimp and grits reign supreme, the Ruby Slipper holds its own with distinctive flair and an unmistakable New Orleans charm. It's clear that both establishments share a commitment to quality, flavor, and an unforgettable dining experience. In every aspect, from the attentive service to the mouthwatering cuisine, the Ruby Slipper Cafe is a beacon of #ThatBrunchLife and Southern hospitality. Whether you're a local or just passing through, missing out on this gem would be a culinary crime. The Ruby Slipper isn't just a restaurant; it's a celebration of the spirit of the South, and I can't wait to return. read more

While visiting the Big Easy during Mardi Gras, I was in the mood for brunch. After visiting the Ruby Slipper a couple of times, knew it was time to go back. The Decatur location was closest to me & glad I went. There was a line & I was greeted at the host stand by Stanley. Stanley gladly took my name but I asked if there happen to be a spot at the bar for just one. He turned around & told me to wait a couple of minutes as he cleared me a spot. Sat me down quick with a smile. Was immediately acknowledged by one of the bartenders saying they would be right with me. Kelli & Jaylynn were working that day. Started my day with an Irish coffee & it truly hit the spot. It did take a moment for me to decide, but didn't feel rushed. Yes, Kelli & Jaylynn checked on me, but only to see if I was ready & encouraged me to take my time. After a couple of moment, I chose the southern breakfast. It was the fried green tomato that sold me. Yes, it was simple, but extremely satisfying. And, that fried green tomato, was better than expected. If you are in NOLA, make sure to visit @brunchwithruby. read more

The service at The Ruby Slipper was outstanding. Our waiter, a terrific young gentleman, was attentive, professional, and stayed on his toes to make sure we had everything we needed. The decor was true to the restaurant's name--fun, vibrant, and welcoming. Other patrons were also very friendly, adding to the warm atmosphere. As for the food, I really enjoyed the Chicken Benedict--it was flavorful and satisfying. However, the Shrimp Benedict was a bit of a letdown, as it only came with three small shrimp, which felt underwhelming. My friend ordered the Salmon Omelette with grits and a biscuit, and they said it was absolutely delicious. Here's how we rated the dishes: Chicken Biscuit: 9/10 Shrimp Biscuit: 6/10 Salmon Omelette Plate: 9/10 Overall, while the service and ambiance were great, the menu didn't quite match my personal preferences--mainly because I don't eat pork, and I found the non-pork options somewhat limited. That said, I believe The Ruby Slipper has a lot of potential for those who enjoy its Southern-style offerings. read more

The Ruby Slipper Cafe is an absolute gem of a breakfast spot! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that just makes you feel at home. The decor is eclectic and charming, with a cozy and relaxed vibe that's perfect for starting your day off on the right foot. Now, onto the food! The menu at the Ruby Slipper Cafe is full of delicious breakfast options that are sure to satisfy any craving. Whether you're in the mood for sweet or savory, there's something for everyone here. The Eggs Cochon and Bananas Foster French Toast are two standout dishes that I highly recommend trying - with the French Toast being some of the best I've ever had! I found the service to not be the best, which is starting to become standard in NOLA IMO. On previous visits, I remember the staff being outstanding. Overall, I can't recommend the Ruby Slipper Cafe enough. It's the perfect spot to grab a delicious breakfast and start your day off right in the heart of New Orleans. If you're in the area, definitely give it a try! read more

I recently dined at Ruby Slipper and I have to say, it was a fantastic experience. Although the food preparation took a while, the wait was well worth it as the food was absolutely delicious. From the appetizers to the entrees, every dish was bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. I would highly recommend the food here. While the drinks were average, they were advertised as award-winning and amazing, which was a bit disappointing. However, this was a minor setback in an otherwise great dining experience. I was impressed with how easy it was to make a reservation and while the waitlist said it would be an hour, I only had to wait 30 minutes before being seated. The staff was nice and attentive, making sure my dining experience was enjoyable. The ambiance of the restaurant was also great - it had a comfortable and inviting atmosphere that was perfect for a relaxing meal. Overall, I would definitely go back to Ruby Slipper and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great dining experience in the area. Five stars! read more

Ruby Slipper on Decatur Street is a fantastic spot for a hearty, Southern-inspired breakfast or brunch. The warm, lively atmosphere immediately sets the tone for a great dining experience, and the menu is full of indulgent options that showcase New Orleans flair. I couldn't resist ordering the Biscuits and Gravy, and they were incredible. The biscuits were perfectly fluffy, and the gravy was rich, creamy, and full of flavor--just the way it should be. It's true comfort food at its best. The candied bacon was a standout as well. Sweet, smoky, and perfectly crisp, it was the perfect balance of flavors and a delicious addition to the meal. It's a must-try item if you're stopping by. The service was friendly and efficient, despite the bustling crowd, and the vibrant energy of the Decatur Street location added to the experience. Whether you're a local or just visiting, Ruby Slipper is the perfect place to kickstart your day with some seriously satisfying Southern favorites. read more

I came to New Orleans for a quick trip and was craving a good breakfast. After seeing glowing reviews on Yelp, TikTok, and hearing personal recommendations, I thought Ruby Slipper would be a great choice. However, I have to say, I was left a bit underwhelmed. Maybe I'm just spoiled by the diverse dining scene in Houston, but Ruby Slipper felt extremely basic and average. We ordered several things off the menu, and honestly, nothing really stood out. There was nothing particularly unique or memorable about any of the dishes we tried. It was all fine, but not impressive by any means. If you're in the mood for a quick, no-frills breakfast, Ruby Slipper could work, but there are definitely better and more unique breakfast spots around New Orleans that I'd recommend exploring. The food here just didn't offer anything special to make it stand out in a city known for its incredible food scene. read more

If you're in New Orleans and craving a truly unforgettable brunch, The Ruby Slipper is a must-visit! We had the shrimp and grits and the trio of Benedicts, and let me tell you, it was perfection on a plate. The shrimp and grits were rich and creamy, with perfectly cooked shrimp nestled in the most flavorful sauce that had just the right hint of spice. The trio of Benedicts was a creative and delicious twist on the classic dish, with each one offering a unique flavor profile that left us wanting more. The staff was absolutely fantastic, friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about creating a great experience for their guests. Despite how busy they were, they made us feel right at home. Whether you're a local or just visiting, The Ruby Slipper delivers on all fronts: amazing food, warm hospitality, and a true taste of New Orleans. We'll definitely be back! read more

Ruby Slipper is a cute and cozy brunch spot with a Creole fusion twist, and overall, it was a great experience! I started with a creamy vanilla latte topped with nutmeg and whipped cream, which was delicious--just a bit sweeter than I usually prefer, but still really well made. For my main dish, I had the French toast with fried chicken, strawberries, and maple syrup. The flavors worked beautifully together, but it was definitely a heavy dish, and I wish there had been something like whipped cream or a light topping to balance it out. We also tried the catfish with grits, which was another solid choice. Overall, Ruby Slipper is a great spot for brunch, but just know that the dishes lean toward the rich and indulgent side. If you're in the mood for a hearty, flavorful meal, this is definitely the place to check out! read more

I had an amazing experience today at Ruby Slippers with my friends. The staff was so accommodating and wonderful. I loved the hospitality, and the kindness they showed our large group of 15. Our waitress, Yudith, was lovely and made great recommendations. The drinks were delicious and my favorite was the lavender mimosa from my flight. Each of the mimosas in its own glory was full of flavor, and I left feeling much lighter and happy. The food itself was wonderful. My favorite was the shrimp and grits with the biscuit. I stole some bites from a friend. The grits were made with so much love had a great flavor and texture. I was impressed. The waffles and hot chicken was my order and my second favor. The sweet strawberries with the French toast was dancing in my mouth. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

The Ruby Slipper Cafe is a breakfast and lunch spot in the heart of downtown. They have amazing food and fast service, so you can't go wrong with this place! They serve everything from omelets to waffles, and they're all made fresh right in front of you. The coffee is great as well--they use beans from local roasters, which makes it even more special. The food is very filling, so I recommend ordering one of their sandwiches or salads if you're looking for something lighter. But if you want something that will fill up your entire stomach, then this is definitely the place for you! The only downside? If you're coming here during peak hours (between 8am and 10am), expect to wait for at least 15 minutes before being seated. It's worth it though--the food is worth it! read more

The stories about the line are true: it was mid morning on a Sunday, and there was definitely a line, but we put in for a table for three and were seated within 20 minutes. First up was a bloody mary, the canonical brunch beverage, and it was a winner. Dressed with some nice veggies in handled jar, it was delicious and refreshing. As for the food, I was torn between a couple of the benedicts, so I ended up combining and getting crab cake and andouille sausage, both on the same croissant. It was delicious if a bit much; I ended up taking half to go. The crab cake was substantial in size, with a good crab to cake ratio, and the sauce which was touted to be excellent, certainly was. This was a very tasty breakfast. The decor was very cute and bright, and our server had a great smile and proper NOLA accent, tending to all of our needs with aplomb. It was a great experience, and one I'd do again for sure.

We came here for a casual morning breakfast…read more I got the seafood omelette with wheat toast and grits. It was alright, the portions were fair. The seasoning was largely up to me since the there was salt, pepper, ketchup, etc at the table and the omelette was not really seasoned. The toast was a bit stale, but still crispy. The service was quick and our server promptly refilled our water when it ran out. The AC was a nice escape from the Louisiana heat.

It has an old, historic feel to it, with a beautiful mural on the wall which looks very, very old. Service was great. We were seated right away and the food came quickly. There were five of us and several people raved about the eggs benedict. Jambalaya omelette, cheese grits and plain grits, were also great. My only regret is that we didn't have a chance to return for dinner, so we'll do that on our next visit.
