We tried this restaurant on a whim for breakfast and it was pretty good! A little salty but I would say the Benedict is the star of the show. read more

After making reservations at Soleil in Destin and being ignored for 25 minutes.........we left and went to Ruby Slipper. We put our names on the waitlist while in transit, our wait was 10-15 minutes, but-no problem - the bar provided us with a drink to get started! Food was VERY good. Reasonably priced. Our server - Kelsie was a complete delight, very attentive and responsive. Zero complaints. I will be taking my out-of-town visitors here for "brunch"! read more

Had the Mimosa Flight! Struggling to get through all of it! It's definitely a great trial of all the popular mimosas! For the food I had the French toast with the bananas. I can't remember what it was called, but it was delicious. If you can choose your waitress, 100% ask for Amber! Super cool and high energy! My experience was much better thanks to her! read more

Ruby Slipper Destin - Mimosa Flight - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Destin, Florida

The food here wasn't anything extraordinary. Just the typical diner food with a twist.... But the service was amazing.

We went to the one in Pensacola a few times, so we knew we had to visit the one in Destin when they opened! The menu is pretty extensive--there's something for everyone whether you like your brunch more savory or sweet. We were lucky enough to be seated with Nicole on both visits. We absolutely love her! She makes amazing drinks AND she's super sweet. I ordered the white chocolate bread pudding pancakes and the salmon omelette, both were phenomenal. My husband ordered the biscuits and gravy both times because he has a gravy addiction. This place is a must visit if you're in Destin! read more

Great food and even better service. They are prompt. Attentive and very friendly; it's like visiting friends!

Loved the food. Only reason I'm giving 4 stars is the waitress would not stop talking about her personal life.

Not the greatest place for the money. Service was ok and food was really average. Would have thought because it was a New Orleans style restaurant, everything would have been filled with flavor but it really was not. Not sure I'm making a return trip. Biscuit and Gravy was just ok. Bob Evans is much better.... read more

The only good thing about this restaurant was the waitress. Food was subbpar/gross. Given the rating I had higher expectations. I ordered the crab omelet but there was so much goat cheese and the texture of the omelet was dry that it tasted like rubbery puke. The best was the appetizer of candied bacon and French toast bites. Coffee was just coffee. Nothing Spectacular here. read more

Second time we come and food was great. Service was pleasant too. The only thing was that we had 13 people in our party and they could not accommodate parties larger than 9 so we had to break into 7 and 6. The first 7 were seated but the other 6 waited 20-30 min while parties of 6 and 8 kept being seated. A party of 8 were sat in two tables and after the guy bribe the hostess they made arrangements to sit them together. I could not believe it. So if you want to sit your large party get some cash ready. read more

Ruby Slipper Destin - Shrimp and grits. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Destin, Florida

We are locals and were so excited to see this newest breakfast place open in Destin! Never been to the one in PCola because it's always full and very popular! I can see why! Everything we had was amazing. Benny Trifecta, biscuits and gravy with bacon and scrambled eggs. All delish! I'm picky on sausage gravy but theirs is good! The Trifecta is the perfect combo because they all sound so good on their own and this lets you have a taste of all! Great service! Waitress was attentive and friendly... a very cheery, colorful environment and staff! read more

We went roadtripping from Houston to Panama City Beach and back. This is the only place we ate at TWICE! The eggs benedicts are so tasty and the desserts....oh my! The drinks don't disappoint too! read more

Food was pretty good, service needs work. The interior is kind of odd not much of an atmosphere. If you need a brunch bite that's what it's there for but that's all it's worth and no guarantee it'll be quick. read more

What a great place!! Couldn't be more happy with the food and our server Amber was amazing!! read more

Ruby Slipper Destin - The Ruby Trifecta and Mimosa Flight was amazing! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Destin, Florida

I have eaten at a Ruby Slipper in New Orleans, So was excited to see the one open up in Destin Fl. I live in Panama city, and traveled over just for breakfast this am, The service was amazing, very friendly staff, The coffee was good and hot and cup was kept full. I ordered the peach stuffed french toast and it was amazing. I posted about it on facebook when I was there and a friend and her mother from Niceville said the food looked so good they were on there way to have brunch. They enjoyed it as well. Will return for sure. So many different things on the menu to try. read more

I'm not sure why this place got so many stars but we found the found to be very mediocre. The Migas was not good. Pancake was very dry. Biscuit and side of sausage gravy tasted like flour and biscuit was dry. The atmosphere was very loud. Waitress was sweet but forgot to bring us butter creamer etc. all in all we won't be back. read more

Southern food lovers dream restaurant! 9:20am on a Saturday and no wait. If you love southern food this place is your heaven. Being Northerners from St Louis we were able to find a great breakfast here so no worries. Our server was so sweet and our food came out super fast. Delicious biscuit- omg good! Prices were very fair. Not having to wait for a seat... priceless! read more

Wife and I went here for breakfast and must say service was just poor. Waiter's name was Jerry and he seem uninterested in working that day. We told our waiter that the coffee was cold. He took both cups and quickly returned with coffee at the same temperature of the first cups. We called the waiter again and told him there was no change to the coffee temperature and asked him if someone could reheat the coffee. It was then that Jerry told us they did not have a microwave. This confirms what we already knew; the waiter did nothing to address our concern about the cold coffee and thought we would not find out. Overall, the food was subpar, the coffee was cold and the service just plain sucked. Avoid. read more

Amazing food and service! The Bartender Stephanie is always super friendly and helpful. Anytime iI needed something she had it for me before i even asked. The second time I went there and had Laura as my waitress and she was amazing always smiling and wore Yoda ears on May 4th which was very cool! The food is beautiful to look at and taste amazing. Just opened here in Destin and amazing food. Go now!! read more

Service was aewsome everything on the menu is fabulous! Biscuits and gravy a must they are as big has your head ask for extra gravy!! Bacon infused Bloody Mary is a great pairing with the BNG's. Then when done was it down with a morning margarita! Great way to start a vacation day! read more

The service was not very good. Our drinks never got refilled. She was rude to some of our party as soon as they sat down. The food was mediocre at best. Their biscuits were really dry, but bacon was very good. Salad was served with no dressing and when we asked for dressing she told us there was none available. We asked another server and she brought us some vinaigrette thankfully. Would not go back read more

Our second try at Ruby Slipper . . . Don't order a mimosa. The champagne is on tap. Flat with a horrible aftertaste. Cold grits. When I sent them back they brought potatoes. That was weird. Ham and cheese omelette only had ham on half! Service was lack luster overall. They gave us no reason to return. They're gonna have to up their game to make it in Destin. read more

Food was phenomenal! Had the breakfast tacos with a add chorizo option which was delicious. The pancakes were very fluffy and added a blueberry topping which was the perfect amount of sweets. Tater tots were very crispy as I like them and the service from Cati is really what stood out. Super friendly and helpful talking about Destin for someone out of town. Will definitely stop in every time I am in here. read more

We went to Ruby Slipper years ago in New Orleans and it was so good, but every time we have been back the wait is too long. We were so excited to see one open up in Destin. It did not disappoint.

We were in Ft Walton Beach for a long weekend. A friend highly recommended the Ruby Slipper Cafe. This location had only been open a few weeks. Our server, Jillian was attentive and very nice. Answered any questions we had. Overall great service. The food was very tasty. However, it was warm not hot. My wife had the build your own omelette. I had the Trifecta. The portions where very generous. My wife also had a Mimosa and it was very good. The location was very clean. read more

Great option for brunch in Destin! Very tasty appetizers and some seasonal selections. Highly recommend the fried green tomatoes for a sharing appetizer, and the many different types of Eggs Benedict offered. You can even pick two different kinds to make a meal. Biscuits are huge and very filling. Amazing Louisiana coffee that tastes like you are at Cafe Du Monde! read more
