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!!!

Kristina R.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Dawn H.

Service was great and fast. Our food was flavorful and large portions. I've visited the New Orleans location so I had high expectations. It wasn't as good as that location but a solid choice for breakfast.

Ian N.

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)

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.

Carla M.

We went today for brunch it was so delicious and excellent customer service next time we are in Destin Florida will visit again

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!

Christopher S.

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

Food was average, we got the French Toast Bites which were fried and greasy tasting, eggs were almost too soft, bananas foster French toast was delicious. Service was okay. Ambiance was ok, wasn't very busy just kind of expected more bang for our buck. Bill was $60, $5 for apple juice that's wasn't included in the kids breakfast meal. And two entrees, in which I drank water. It's a decent place just a little on the expensive side and for no reason other than it being a tourist town. read more

5 star review because of Nicole the bartender!!!! When we arrived this morning I was told they would be a 30 minute wait so my husband and I went to the bar to get a beverage. As soon as we sat down Nicole greeted us with a great smile asked us our names and then proceeded to help us by taking our drink , order making conversation all the time using our names. I observed she spoke to every customer that was at the very busy bar by their first names which was so impressive. After waiting 30 minutes for a table And then being told by the hostess that it would be another 20 to 30 minutes we decided to just order at the bar and Nicole again happily took our order and checked on us constantly. We will definitely be back and will sit in the bar area as long as Nicole is there! Thank you Nicole for a memorable first time at the restaurant! read more

I am a foodie. 46 years in the Hotel and Food and Beverage business before retiring four years ago. This is the best breakfast/brunch place in Destin. I will have to go at least ten more times in the next few months just to try all of the items that are absolutely creative and different. Straight out of New Orleans, this owner/operation has nailed it. Great drink specials, friendly staff that isn't role playing. The bartender, from Kalamazoo Michigan was awesome. The first thing she did after saying good morning was hi my name is and then what is your name. Then she used our names throughout every point of service contact. The food came out hot ingredients were fresh and the only word to describe it was awesome. They have a huge choice of Benedict's . They have a huge choice of omelettes. They have beignets and French toast bites and many other delightful breakfast items for those that have a sweet tooth. I only have two classifications for restaurants: they are I will never go back or I can't wait to go back. This restaurant I can't wait to go back over and over and over again. I didn't take any pictures to upload because the website has a large portion of pictures that you can look at. This is probably the only breakfast place in town besides Sunset Bay Café that is worth waiting in line for 20 minutes or so before being seated. read more

My family and I went here for ice cream after having lunch at the City Food Hall. They had a good variety of flavors for both ice cream and gelato.

The gelato and sorbetto flavors were good. I liked my choice of Blood Orange. It was refreshing and delicious. The Mango flavor was good as well. We had a good experience here. The service was nice and friendly. The shop was clean and inviting. I would go back here if I am in Destin again. Definitely check them out if you haven't before.

The elote burrito was delicious and the million dollar bacon was as good as advertised. The spiked watermelon wake-up was refreshing as well. Now the bad, while the staff was nice it was incredibly unorganized. I had overheard them saying the kitchen was understaffed but that would mean nothing to the tables that sat empty adding to the extended wait. I was there for 1:15hrs and one of the tables next to mine sat dirty the entire meal service Many many tables sat unbused while people were waiting patiently to try this establishment. My waiter actually got one of the lower tips I've ever given anyone as he had us wait 10 min for a drink order, told us he was going to bring some waters and we didn't see him again, while three cups sat empty on our table till right before we got out check. This wasn't what I expected with how nice and clean the place is advertised. Two tables as pictured had trash under them from the time I arrived till after I left, super unacceptable. I don't know who the manager on shift was, but they def could have reallocated their resources to resetting the dining room to accept more guests by simply cleaning tables after someone ate there. May or may not be back again.

It was too dry but we were hoping our toddler would eat it. The green bean medley was good as just a simple veg side. It's long beans with mushrooms and onions. The onions and mushrooms i could've passed on but it wasn't over seasoned which is what I needed The twice baked potato was good, very cheesy and I think it has bacon in it The grilled fish sandwich was great. Nice sized fish & the Cole slaw is good here, almost fruity. It came with a ton of fries that were cooked well. The bread is soft & the tartar sauce went well with it The crabs were cooked perfectly and so sweet. I almost wish we'd have gotten an extra cluster for $18. It's always busy at this place. They told us 35 mins for the wait but it took maybe 20. It filled up as we left though. They have a gift shop and beach access to entertain you while you wait + a loud speaker so you can hear them call for you.

On the morning of our 50th Anniversary we decided to go out for breakfast at Ruby Slipper Cafe at the Baytown Wharf in Sandestin! We were greeted by a lovely cheerful host who readily agreed to take our picture. We began with freshly made coffee served in delightful red mugs which we ended up buying as a keepsake. then I ordered the Banana Foster French Toast with a side of bacon. the presentation was lovely and the brioche bread made the BEST French toast along with a delicious syrup. My husband ordered the biscuits & gravy with a side of fried chicken & bacon. His biscuits were made from scratch as was the sausage gravy. He was very impressed! Then we were brought complimentary blueberry margaritas to celebrate our anniversary. The GM came out and congratulated us as well and we enjoyed a lovely conversation. This restaurant earned a 5 star rating based on excellent service, fantastic original food, beautiful presentation and a very personal touch! Thanks for making our day so memorable!

Prices are good. Drink selections are good. Fun family friendly brunch spot. The peacemaker is such a good deal. Kids had candied bacon and french toast bites off the appetizers menu that they loved. Wife got avocado toast, she ate it so fast I didnt even get to put eyes on her plate. I got the peacemaker which allows you to combine 2 eggs benedicts on one plate, got the smoke pork benedict and the smoked salmon benedict... I dont think ill order anything but that on the menu. Was so tasty. read more

We are here on vacation with our family and friends. Jillian our waitress was absolutely 10/10! she was efficient and attentive. my boyfriend had a question about if his shrimp was fully cooked, not only did they re make it but they took his meal off our check despite giving him an entire new omelet and we're so friendly about the entire situation.

What a hidden gem for brunch. We thoroughly loved our servers and the advice they provided. The food was excellent as well, albeit you felt a little bad about eating it all. It was one of those locations where you accept the possibility of getting into trouble the rest of the day if you steal the last piece of candied bacon from your spouse. Come here instead of the tourist trap of the donut hole. read more
