    Gulf Shrimp Omelet
    Keta T.

    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!!!

    Hot Honey Chicken Biscuit
    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.

    Menu - February 2025

    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.

    The Trifecta with one gone!

    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.

    Breakfast margarita
    Samuel C.

    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.

    5 gallon buckets of drinks on bar

    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.

    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.

    Biscuits & Gravy
    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)

    Mimosa flight
    Jazmyne A.

    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.

    Just my family about to order our meal

    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

    Three pig omelet
    Kryss P.

    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!

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. The lot is across the street and it fills up as there's other businesses here but usually someone leaves within 5-10 mins so just have someone get on the wait and then go find a spot if you have more than 1 person
