Wow!!! My hubby and I visited the New Orleans location a couple of years ago and since it brought back good memories we decided to stop at the Destin location for breakfast. As soonest we walked in it became an instant favorite! The restaurant is bright and inviting. But the best is the staff!! The staff is incredibly friendly! Our servers Starr & Landon made us feel so very welcomed. The food was fantastic and came out in no time. We will definitely be back! read more

Has the look and feel of a place that should be great. The pancakes and French toast both landed squarely in average forgettable territory -- nothing technically wrong, nothing worth talking about either. It just does the job. The real tell? No real maple syrup. When a breakfast spot is cutting corners on something that basic, it says something about priorities. The "maple" high fructose corn syrup alone is worth -1.5 star alone. read more

Food was delicious and service was great. Would highly recommend specially if you're out of town and looking to try something different while in Destin read more

The food was amazing, the service was top tier, and the mimosa flights were so much fun!! Very family friendly environment and food options for all! We loved our experience here. read more

The food was good once it actually arrived, but we waited an hour and a half and watched every single table that came in after us get served before us. Some people at our table never got all their food. Probably won't be back. read more

We stopped in before our 8-hour trip back home, and it was the perfect way to start the day! It was a nice, comfortable place to eat. My oldest daughter loved watching the silly doggies on the TV, which kept her entertained while we waited for our food. The food was delicious! My husband and our little one got the pancakes, and they were huge, light, fluffy, and full of flavor. The coffee was smooth and served nice and hot. I ordered the breakfast sandwich on sourdough, and my oldest daughter got hers on a buttermilk biscuit. Both were absolutely delicious. chef's kiss! We'll definitely be back if we're ever in the area again. read more

We recently visited during our summer trip to 30A, and the location at Baytowne truly couldn't be better. We were seated quickly, though our party of ten was split into two tables. The food was delicious--everyone was impressed with the flavors and really enjoyed their meals. They also had a fun happy hour going on while we were there, with half-off drinks, which was a nice bonus! read more

Great food and friendly service. Our party of 6 all enjoyed the food. No wait at 10 am on Monday

Great food and service. Was there for breakfast while on vacation. It was worth it. Will be back when in the area next time.

Went in to get this location for breakfast around 11am. Greeted upon entering and seated immediately. Our server Alexandria M was great with suggestions and quick to any issues. I had the gulf shrimp omelette and added a single white chocolate bread pudding pancake. All the good was delicious. The fresh biscuit was delicious as well as the brown butter. The restaurant was clean and chill vibe. Great experience!!! read more

We made a reservation for a large party, still had excellent service. Normal American diner type of feel. Food was okay. The Costa Rican breakfast had very little meat, but still flavorful. The mimosa flight was delicious. I heard great things about the hot honey chicken biscuit. Would definitely come back. read more

Okay I have to start this review with the food and service were really good. Had breakfast tacos and the pigs in a blanket omelet. Everything was going great until I had to use the restroom. I feel like you can tell how clean a place and its kitchen is by the bathrooms. I nearly threw up what I had just eaten when I walked in. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!!!!!! Corroded and crusty with dirt smeared walls. Gross! I can only imagine what the kitchen is like now. read more

Absolutely loved everything about my brunch experience here! We came here as a group of 7 and it was just what we were looking for. Something on the menu for everyone, mimosas and bloody marys, affordable prices, etc etc. Our waitress was super nice and efficient. We all ordered drinks and my mimosa with grapefruit juice was great. We ordered French toasts bites for the table which is essentially cinnamon roll bites and it was sooo good. We absolutely devoured it! For my meal I had The Trifecta benny flight. SO ridiculously good. It had 3 of their most popular eggs Benedicts and this was definitely the right option because it was hard to choose only one otherwise. My favorite was the chicken St Charles but the other 2 were super tasty also. Everyone else at the table enjoyed their meals, and one of my friends has a dairy allergy and they were very accommodating to her. read more

My husband and I shared the Trificta and it was amazing! My husband is a big eater and there was still plenty of food for the both of us! We also got a side of potatoes with our meal, but they were not good at all. The potatoes were not cooked all the way through, but the trifecta was awesome! I believe it came with chicken, pork, and a fried green tomato eggs Benedict style. Our favorite was the pork. read more

This was a horse of a different color! Rare! Beautiful! We each had the best breakfast of our lives. The mimosa flight, what can be said? It was perfection! My husband and son decided we should share the peaches and cream beignets and candy bacon, not pictured because we gobbled them up and fought over the last beignet. Sad to say we lost the little one in the war, just kidding, we gave it to him because he is almost a feral teenager and growing. Haha. I had the biscuit and gravy plate with two eggs over easy, the biscuits are the fluffiest you'll find outside of your mamaw's kitchen. Nothing was spared as I hoovered every morsel. I even had a side of fried chicken in hot honey and OH HONEY! I'm from Kentucky and know a thing or two about fried chicken, this was the best! Tender and crispy, not oily! Just *chefs kiss* My husband had the trifecta and wow, that's a lot of food! He loved them all. The creole biscuit was delicious and perfect for brunch. He agreed with me about the fried chicken. Even said his pork biscuit was amazing in its own right. He left so full and happy. Our soon to be teenager had the three pig omelet and aside from the many, many cheese pulls, he left only a scatter of breakfast potatoes on his plate. He boxed those up for later. The mimosa flight was delicious but I have to warn parents, it's tempting for little ones to want to try because it's a rainbow! so pretty, maybe order a juice for the tempted. This will be our new breakfast spot when in town. Thank you for the amazing meal and morning! read more

We came here for breakfast/brunch (same menu) on a weekday and parking in their private lot was easy. We tried to make a reservation online, but it only accepts parties of 8 or fewer. Wehn I tried to call multiple times, no one answered the phone. Nonetheless, our party of 9 was seated immediately as they were not that crowded. This place is great for families as it has something on the menu for everyone. I went with the breakfast sandwich, which normally comes with backon, but I substituted for sausage and they were links cut in half, not patties, which was surprising, but still good. The brioche bun was soft and moist and the potatoes were just average. Our server told us that the tip was included when she brought us the bill so that we wouldn't accidentally over tip and I appreciated that! read more

Had an unforgettable meal at their New Orleans spot, so I rolled into this location expecting the same magic. Service? Top-tier. Theo was a multitasking wizard--had me sipping a breakfast margarita and hydrated before I could even blink. I went with the catfish and grits plus a biscuit. It looked like a masterpiece, but the flavor just didn't slap like it did in NOLA. Not bad, just kinda... meh. I had to bust out the salt, pepper, and hot sauce like I was doing my own seasoning audition. The biscuit though? Stellar. They're famous for those for a reason--flaky, buttery, no notes. I'll be back, but next time I'm aiming straight for the pancakes. read more

Checked in on the app with a party of 4. It gave us a 15 minute wait. An hour later we were seated. Several parties left frustrated as we waited, one even chased the waitress down to pay. The waitress checked in with us but returned to several other new tables before ours. We left before being served. After receiving similar service 3 years ago we tried again. I think we're done for good now. read more

Overall, the food was good! First time visiting while on vacation the "Ruby" restaurant brand. The only issue was the wrong food was delivered to my daughter. We were one of the first customers at the restaurant at 7 AM. Not sure how the miscommunication took place for she clearly asked for a Spanish omelette. The waiter acknowledge there was a miscommunication after the fact but it was after I brought it to her attention for the second time when checking on when her order would be ready. Communicating with your patrons is very important especially about the status of their order when an error has been made. read more

Good was great, fresh and hot. Our server was wonderful (I forgot her names but she was so friendly) and the waitlist was so convenient.

Seated very quickly. Food and service was excellent! Nice atmosphere and I would recommend and return.

Looove this place! Awesome food and service. They are very consistent. Will definitely be coming back!! Ate every morsel read more

Biscuits and Gravy (5/5): Very good biscuits and tasty gravy with the perfect consistency. I really liked that there were some big sausage crumbles. Eggs felt unnecessary. Bacon was a nice addition. Sweet Heat Chicken & French Toast Bites (4/5): Loved the French toast bites which were crispy and airy. The chicken was fine. Not a huge fan of the strawberry forward sauce though. RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this) read more

I highly recommend Ruby Slippers. From the moment you walk in you are greeted with hospitality and friendly faces. The food was so good we went back two days in a row while on vacation. I had the hot honey chicken and French toast bites with a side of cheese grits. My partner got the pancakes and sausage. The pancakes were fluffy and good. I highly recommend. I did the mimosa flight and the cranberry and watermelon were my favorites. read more

Despite being a local and a huge fan of Ruby Slipper In New Orleans this is first time I stopped to eat here. While this location lacks the ambiance of the locations in NOLA the food was still very good. I ordered the salmon omelet. While I was disappointed with the omelet itself, I blame myself for ordering it. I prefer wild caught salmon. It really has a much more enjoyable flavor. However, if you don't mind farm raised salmon, this omelet was packed full of Salmon. I was surprised and satiated, though I didn't love the omelet, by the biscuit and grits. I am partial to Gouda cheese grits these were on the plain side but very flavorful nonetheless. I devoured them. My only suggestions are to raise the bar of the ambiance a little to remind us more of NOLA roots. Perhaps music, live or otherwise, would really give this place less of the Waffle House feel. I was also turned off a bit when the bartenders began side work that included refilling some (drinks) I believe by setting the 5 gallon bucket on the bar and refilling container. No one likes to see the food or drinks they consume coming from 5 gallon buckets. read more

Came here yesterday because we enjoyed the ruby slipper in New Orleans This Destin location is opposite of the food and service. Host was not that inviting. Looks like she didn't want to be there. Our server was great that's the only thing good about the place. The food: I ordered biscuits and gravy and this is what I got. If you look at the picture you can see they gave me a large meatball sized sausage that was undercooked and pink. Gravy was cold. Biscuit was good however but whoever cooked the gravy didn't cook it to temp and didn't break up the sausage. Yummmm nothing like meatballs and biscuits!!!! Won't be back read more

Ruby Slipper Destin - Biscuits and Meatball anyone?! Didn't even have the time or effort to break up the sausage. I cut it in half and it was pink! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Destin, Florida

I will start by saying the service was deplorable. Our party of 8 was split up, without asking us if we just wanted to wait for a bigger table. The waitress was mad because we kept going back and forth trying to visit so she just stopped coming to the table. The food was edible but not hot and at least 4 items never even made it to the table (but we were charged for them). We were also given the standard 20% fee for a party....even though we didn't sit together. We won't be back. There is better food and service to choose from elsewhere. read more

Terrible experience. We waited way too long just for someone to take our order, and then even longer for our food. Meanwhile, people who came in after us were served first. To make it worse, the waitress brought our ticket before we even got our food--who does that? I understand being busy, but as a server myself, ask for help. That alone left a really bad taste in my mouth. Overall, very disappointing service. I wouldn't recommend. read more

Everything I have ordered has always been wonderful. Order the beignets definitely! I especially like the eggs Benedict. read more

The service here is super. Everyone was friendly and attentive. I think my order was the problem. I got the breakfast tacos, and they were just not something I would recommend. If you don't prefer something to be texturally mushy-order a different breakfast plate. The combination of soft eggs, sour cream, and soft cheese was too much. Should have stuck to bacon and eggs! read more

AMAZING! It was our last day in Florida & let me just say we were so happy we came across this place. I had previously gone to the Louisiana location, packed to the rim. Decided to try this location & I loved it. The servers were so bright & welcoming. Especially ours, I believe her name was Catie? Food was beyond great! The wait was not long at all. Overall, 10/10!!!!! read more

We don't live near a Ruby Slipper but seek the restaurants out whenever available. The food is ALWAYS Wonderful! This occasion was no different... except they didn't have an acceptable selection of hot tea bags- only green (NOT for me!). Soooo, our sever went to his private stash and brought me some chai! Divine! That is going the extra mile. Come to think of it, THAT is how I feel about all of the experience....They go the extra mile to assure the best service and food for their customer! read more

Staff were nice, it was however dirty and the food was 5/10 at most. Basically I-hop in a way.
