This was my family's favorite meal during our visit to New Orleans! We had brunch consisting of the chicken and waffles and eggs Benedict. The service was very friendly, from the hostess out at the street to our server at the table we felt genuinely welcome. The place won't win any awards for cleanliness but it was tolerable and the food made up for it. It was very busy so we had to wait a while, even with a reservation, but it was worth it. Don't go on a day that you're working with a strict timeline, or at least leave yourself plenty of time. read more

The food was amazing. Everything was good. We were a party of 6 and everybody loved their food. We had fried green tomatoes, pancakes, biscuits, omelettes, and waffles. Serve was fine. They have seating on the inside and outside. Every time I'm in New Orleans I will stop at Ruby Slipper. read more

The breakfast we had here was oustanding! Absolutely delicious. We stayed at an Airbnb that was within walking distance so we scoped this place out for breakfast the night before. It was a great decision. We were treated very well here. There wasn't anyone in the restaurant when we arrived, so we got great service. I ordered the creamy vanilla spiced latte to start and it was so good. I needed more kick (caffeine) so I ordered the iced vanilla latte and it was just what I needed. For breakfast, I had the migas. Let me tell you, I will come all the way back to NOLA just for that dish. It had everything you need. Crunch, spice, delicious eggs made just right. 10/10 experience. I'd definitely come back read more

The people were amazing, the food was really good. However, the banana foster was to die for. I had never experienced one and the amazing manager Travis heard that and said " hold on!" And disappeared a few moments later a sample big enough to share. And a fan for life!! If you go during the weekend or busy tourist time they gave us the tip to go online and reserve, you will get a text when your table is ready... no waiting in line. read more

Happy bellies here! This location is much smaller from the one on Magazine St., but I love the charm and intimate feeling this one brings. The Ruby Slipper's menu had so many options to choose from, it was tough to choose. I was between the southern breakfast plate and the fried chicken on French toast but opted for the southern plate to try their biscuit and fried green tomato. I also tried the shrimp and grits which I def recommend. Service was friendly and attentive as well. read more

We had a great breakfast there. Very busy place but worth the wait. Good food, drinks and service! Try it

Do not trust the hype!! I'm honestly not sure how Ruby Slipper has such a high rating on Yelp after this experience. We joined the waitlist at 9:37 AM, were seated at 10:20 AM, and didn't receive our food until after 11:10 AM. That's over an hour and a half from waitlist to food -- completely unreasonable for breakfast. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre at best and absolutely not worth the long wait. To make matters worse, the restaurant was noticeably dirty, which made the whole experience even more disappointing. With so many great breakfast spots around, this one just didn't live up to the hype. Such as disappointment coming all the way from NYC. read more

I had "The Peacemaker". You can choose two of tbeir fabulous Egg Benedict plates. I chose the (1) Pork Benny and (2) Shrimp on Fried Tomato with Creole Tomato Sauce. Both on housemade biscuits vs. English Muffin. Yum! Service was good. Yelp! made it easy to track the progess of our reservation. I had to ask for extra Hollandaise sauce because my pork Benny plate was a little dry. My eggs were a tad overcooked. No drippy yums! :/... Delicious flavors, regardless, with the pork tasso and creole tomato sauces. Iʻd go again. read more

There's a couple of locations of this breakfast-lunch eatery, and our group found ourselves in the one near Canal. It's a bit small inside, and there's a few outdoor seats, so it feels a little cramped. Menu is familiar as it's got a lot of local Cajun type of dishes. I got the following: - Catfish and Grits - 6.5/10: presentation was nice. But there was way more breading than actual catfish. The filet portions are really small. Not a good ratio from the typical cornmeal jacket to filet. A little disappointing. - NOLA Style Iced Coffee - 8/10: Terrific chickory beverage. Very smooth. Anyway, the menu is big enough to probably call for another visit, so I'll update this review some time in the future. read more

Ruby Slipper is the quintessential destination for brunch when visiting NOLA. With numerous locations located in the area it's like you can't not stop by and try them out. They are so popular you almost always have to sign up for the waitlist online but I promise you it will always be worth the wait. This visit we decided to try a variety of menu options. - Bayou Shrimp and Chicken St. Charles Bennies were flavorful and delicious and served on their world famous biscuits. If I remember correctly I believe our server said they serve over 2-3 million biscuits per year. I can 100% see why, they are some of the best homemade biscuits you'll ever have. - Southern Breakfast with a side of pancakes all were good and filing (you'll see how big the pancakes are in my pictures) -Sweet Heat Chicken & French Toast Bites were cooked to perfection and flavorful. Do yourself a favor, if you're in NOLA go ahead and stop by Ruby Slipper they have a variety of tasty brunch items that won't leave you disappointed! read more

Everything was great! I will definitely go again on my next visit to New Orleans. They have long lines so be prepared to wait.

This is our go to brunch/breakfast spot when we come to NOLA. Best to try and get on the waitlist online because there is almost always a wait. The people from the front door and throughout are always just so friendly and give you that local NOLA culture that you want when visiting. The food has never disappointed and the Ruby mimosa is a great way to kick off the day when you're on vaca in NOLA! read more

We came to NOLA for a bday trip and, in a city full of great food, we returned to Ruby Slipper 3 mornings in a row. Every single team member was above and beyond in hospitality. They made our birthday celebration known!! Every dish we tried was outstanding. If I could give 20 stars I would!! This is a gem of a place. The location on lower Magazine St is the best! Do not miss the best brunch in town. read more

I tried the hot honey chicken biscuit at The Red Slipper Cafe and it was really good. Super flavorful, perfectly crispy, and the hot honey added just the right kick. The place itself is small and fills up fast, but having another location across the street makes it super convenient. Service was friendly and fast, which is always a plus. Definitely worth stopping by. read more

Love that they have yelp waitlist. This is a great option as they do have a wait. Hostess was very kind and helpful. We were quickly seated after checking in. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. Unfortunately the food quality was not worth it. I have been to another Ruby Slippers location and found the food to be great. Perhaps it's this location, or the combination of the timing being the weekend following superbowl and preparation for Mardi Gras. Coffee was great no complaints. Eggs Cochon Benedict came out with the eggs overcooked and no yolk to be found. Waiter was kind to bring out some fresh ones, but unfortunately when I cut into the pork and biscuit both were cold. He took it back and came out with a new plate. Unfortunately it wasn't better so I ate the eggs and biscuit. At another location it was served hot and the yolks ran all over the pork and biscuit. Sadly this location was either having an off day or just overwhelmed with the amount of people. My fiancés shrimp and grits was better than the Cochon dish, but nothing to give rave reviews about. While their customer service and ease of being out on the waitlist was great, we won't be back. read more

Tho restaurant is super popular! We got on the waitlist from our phones, but didn't make it to the restaurant in time. We immediately made another request to get back on the waitlist and was sat after about 20 minutes. The restaurant is tiny but very packed. The waitstaff were all great, especially considering how busy it was. Unfortunately, for my small group, the food and drinks were either incorrect, or they didn't measure up to our taste. The fried green tomatoes I ordered seemed to lack the actual tomatoes- it tasted almost like just fried batter with the dressings. The drinks were overly sweet but presented nicely. We all left pretty hungry, but I would give the restaurant another try during a not so busy time of the year. We may have just come at a bad time. read more

Came here with 3 of my friends. The space is very casual, with cute NOLA/Ruby Slipper-themed decor. The mimosa flight, appetizers (fried green tomatoes and candy bacon) and entrees were all 3/5 or3.5/5 - solid breakfast food, nothing stood out as particularly bad or great. Now the service was fabulous! Everyone we interacted with was attentive, friendly, welcoming and hilarious on top of all that! They made a simple breakfast very memorable. read more

6 stars if I could! Everything here was delicious! I've never seen such a hearty sausage gray before. The fried green tomato was well worth the $1 extra to add, bacon delicious and crispy. A must visit when in NOLA!!! read more

Absolutely one of the best mainstream restaurants we tried! I consider it mainstream because it is very popular online and it seems to have lines out of the door (we usually go for the hole in the wall in New Orleans) but this place was outstanding! We had the Chantilly pancakes, veggie omelette, kids pancake and bacon, and the amazing shrimp and grits! The shrimp and grits literally melt it in your mouth. The grits were cooked so well that you would never know they were a grain. The shrimp were tender, season to perfection and they gave a good amount. Online I did the waitlist and my table was about 20 minutes overdue. We walked in and they took us right away. Do not let the line intimidate you. You might get lucky and be able to find a seat that fit your party still. The servings were huge, the service was outstanding! I believe our waiters name was Chris and he was awesome. There's definitely no parking so plan ahead. read more

Holy crap this place is good!!! I haven't the words to describe how delicious my food was. I ordered the Trifecta! WOW! Just, WOW!!! Sooooooo good!! I think I ate too much because I wanted to finish it. To be honest, this is my second visit to NEW ORLEANS as an adult, and this is by far the best thing I've ever eaten here... Our server, Misty was running back-and-forth like a boss. She was super efficient, very speedy and, honestly, also the best server I've ever had at any restaurant I've eaten at in NOLA... to say that she was AMAZING is a severe WELL IF understatement..... I HIGHLY recommend you come to Ruby Slipper Decatur and sit in Misty's section.... Easily Michelin star cuisine and service!!! read more

This was highly recommended. Everything tasted great and our waitress was very nice. I will say though that the temperature of everything was not great. Everything was a little cold (except the grits) but they were accommodating when I asked for an extra hot shot of espresso for my cappuccino. The ambiance was brunch vibes. Felt like a Sunday! I would go again for sure. read more

Menu is imaginative and the food is quite good, although quite expensive. Food arrived cold, but could not get service attention to rectify as restaurant was extremely busy; however when service was available it was very effective and attentive. Also prepare for long wait to be seated. Other restaurants may offer complementary coffee or drinks for patrons waiting in long lines for service to be seated. Restaurant provides sidewalk and indoors seating. Inside was very crowded and it was difficult to reach the bathroom windind my way through a room overcrowded with tables. Also, the noise levels inside the restaurant were deafening. Finally, the bathroom was not clean, and the floor was extremely slippery. I almost fell twice getting up off the toilet. Not an experience I wish to repeat read more

Stopped by for a cup of coffee and beignets, and both hit the spot! They serve the local French Truck Coffee here. The beignets were freshly made to order and definitely a shareable size! Plenty of indoor seating and some tables outside in this laid back cafe. I'll be back for a full breakfast, as the Benedict's were highly recommended by some locals read more

We always visit the Slipper on Magazine St but on this occasion, we had breakfast at this locale. This is southern cuisine at its finest whether you are there for breakfast or their awesome brunch. Biscuits and gravy are a must order. Don't fancy gravy order the biscuit and you will be comparing their off the chart flaky biscuits to all others and be disappointed that you are not at the Slipper. On this visit I ordered their Spanish omelet, and it was just stuffed with chorizo and veggies. I made sure to include a biscuit. This breakfast stayed with me throughout the day. I did notice that an adjoining diner ordered their Costa Rican breakfast. Warning: It was huge, and you could easily split this dish. Service on this visit was Meh. The waiter at the next table was outgoing and even offered to go drinks to his table. Ours appeared to be doing us a favor by taking our order and bringing us a 2nd coffee. This is out of the Norm as we always have great friendly service. Pro tip: Their adult drinks are heavy pours so enjoy! read more

*Make reservations! Food is 10/10!! Great service! Shrimp and grits are ahhhhhmazing! Fried green tomatoes come with 3. Great for accommodating groups!

Food was not good. We had to send our pancakes back because they were still liquid inside. Got the replacement pancakes and they were still not done in the middle. We did taste them and they tasted like old grease on a grill. Also packed with powdered sugar. Biscuits were hard and tough. Breakfast potatoes had clearly been cooked long before breakfast time; maybe even the day before. Also you are packed in to wherever you are sitting. Would not recommend. read more

I heard so much about this place. Got some mixed reviews but definitely wanted to try it out for myself. I was quickly seated and a server came to hand me the menu and take my order. I ordered a few things just to try it out. I ordered the avocado toast. I felt like the avocado should've been a lot more in quantity than it was. I also ordered the mimosa flight. It was way too sweet for my liking. The beignets were nice, but I felt they were still moist. I'm glad I got to experience the place, but this won't be on my list of places to go when heading back to New Orleans. read more
