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

5 stars!!!!! Our server, Amber, greeted us with joy and enthusiasm! She gave us great descriptions of the menu items and was incredibly accommodating and attentive. Best server EVER!! My husband ordered the bananas foster French toast and I had the southern breakfast. The eggs and grits were so tasty. We shared a white chocolate pancake. Oh my word!!! DELISH!!!!!! I highly recommend doing this. You won't regret it! Katie, the bartender, was super sweet as well. Don't miss this gem of a restaurant!! 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'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

Food was wonderful and Mary our server was amazing. Great place. We really enjoyed our time here and certainly recommend the Ruby Slipper.

Great new spot! Been eating at the Pensacola location for years. Great fresh food items.

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

We happened upon this little gem when our baseball games were cancelled and absolutely loved it! Our server was amazing!

We are on vacation from the Midwest.. we stopped in for breakfast and it was great. Warm biscuit with honey butter, fried green tomatoes, cheese grits, nola iced coffee.. biscuits and gravy .. so full we had to walk it off.. read more

Kelsey and Mary both provide OUTSTANDING service. Each time I've came it has been amazing service and the food is PHENOMENAL. Whether you are passing through or a local I highly recommend you check this place out! read more

The waitress was not very pleasant and the mimosa flight was very small for $20. Food was great and would go again, just the service was bad. read more

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

See all

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

The southern breakfast and mimosa flight was excellent! Our waitress Julian was amazing. The service was fast, and we will definitely be back again! If you are looking for a breakfast or brunch place be sure to check this out. 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

Food is large portions. Eggs Bennie my go to. Hubby had biscuit and gravy and he said best he's had. Go hungry. They serve Coffee or products so yay! Great coffee. Service was great. 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. Our food was good and our server Tina was the sweetest and great at helping me decide what to get! No pictures because they food looked so good I forgot! read more

Great food and great service. Prices are reasonable and the wait staff was awesome....will be back

Food was perfect. Great Bloody Mary as well. Service was excellent. Ask for Meg. She's a cheerful person and a great server.

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

Ruby Slipper Destin - French Toast Bites, Fried Green Tomatoes, and Beignets - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Destin, Florida

The one rule I have while on vacation is NO CHAIN RESTAURANTS. However, I always make an exception for Ruby Slipper (Sunshine) Cafe. I've been to several different locations (several times), and the food is consistently GOOD, and the staff is always friendly. Highly recommend! read more

Had an amazing brunch here on my vacation! Our server, Amber, was amazing and very attentive. The food came out fast and it was some of the best brunch I've ever had. Will definitely be back on our next vacation! read more

YUM. loves the food the pancakes made me happy. Super yummy and everyone with me loved their food too.

Nicole at the bar was five stars ! Very personable. Bread pudding pancakes were good and biscuit sliders are always our go to

Our experience at the Ruby Slipper Cafe was underwhelming. I joined the online waitlist, and we were seated within 5 minutes of arrival. We waited for about 15 minutes for our waitress to take our drink orders. Because of the wait, we placed our order for food as well. My husband had the candied bacon as an appetizer. He enjoyed those. However, the remainder of the food was awful. This was our first and last visit. read more

My family of 17 celebrated my grandmother's 80th birthday here. The service was exemplary starting with hostess at the door. Our server, Tina, answered all of our questions and made recommendations. The coffee and morning drinks were right on time. An earlier reviewer recommended the creamy vanilla spiced latte and I confirm itThe classic french toast, french toast bites and stuffed French Toast are a must try. I highly suggest Ruby Slipper Cafe in Destin, FL. read more

The food was so good! I was impressed by everything including our server. The food had really good flavor read more

BEST biscut eggs Benedict. We had been to the one in New Orleans a few years ago, so knew we would love it when we saw one here. Great server as well. read more

If you're thinking of going here, just head to waffle house. The waitress here never brought creamer, straws, or silverware until we got our meals. Water tasted weird and food tasted similar to school cafeteria food. Potatoes were oily and still tough. TONS of better places to eat in Destin (like First Watch). -Had to go back to bed to restart our day read more

We are Destin locals and this was our 1st visit (Sunday am 9:15 am.) Very pleased from the time we walked thru the door until the time we left. Greeted by hostess promptly and sat immediately. Our waitress Amanda K was friendly and attentive. We had our drinks and appetizers within 3-5 min from the time we sat down. Ordered the Beignets, Pig Candy Bacon Bites and the Seasonal Stuffed French Toast. It was all amazing. In and out in 45 min and plenty of time to get to church. It was very refreshing to have GREAT SERVICE, DELICIOUS FOOD AND SERVED QUICKLY for Destin in the summer!! We will most definitely return and I highly recommend!! read more

Very delicious! We loved everything that we got and the atmosphere was great. I would definitely go here again.

I loved the food!!!! I had an awesome server named Mary she was so welcoming and friendly. I have already recommended this place to several people while eating there . They were fast and the food was hot and delicious! Definitely coming back #1 breakfast/brunch spot in Destin read more

Service was horrible! Was seated and never heard from a server. No, love lost either way. Plenty of choices.

Amber was the best server we have had this whole trip. Food was amazing, coffee was delicious, atmosphere was incredible. Felt like we where family. Would recommend the Nola style coffee and the migas!! read more
