Same great breakfast as in New Orleans locations! Service was good. We were pleasantly surprised to find Ruby Slipper in Lafayette.

From the time of my last review of your Lafayette, LA location - this location is a dumpster-fire. Seems as though there is new management, new servers, new everything. Must be new cooks as well because the food was terrible. I can deal with slow-service and absent managerial presence - but - what I cannot let slide is bad food. IT'S BREAKFAST/BRUNCH, PEOPLE!!! We are talking about omelets and pancakes for crying out loud - actually - I know this is a waste of keystrokes because these things definitely fall on deaf ears [unless a restaurant is trying to increase their Yelp average score]. You folks won't be open much longer unless you make some serious changes. That's a FACT. read more

Thank you Maya for the lovely experience the food is amazing and we love the ambiance. read more

Meh...if you've been to the OG Ruby Slipper in Nola, go somewhere else, OR lower your expectations heavily. Food was mediocre, very franchised. Service was good, but we left very underwhelmed and a bit disappointed read more

Has become my favorite post shift ritual with coworkers. Good service, great atmosphere, and you can't beat the morning happy hour!

Everything we come here the food and service is phenomenal. Our favorite go-to place for brunch.

We were seated quickly. But we're not giving you utensils or napkins. We had to ask for them. Service was extremely slow. Several tables who came after us received their food, ate their food, paid and left. We were told they ran out of utensils, and finally were given plastic ones. read more

Happy Labor Day! Stopped by Ruby Slipper today with a good friend to catch up over brunch. As expected on a holiday, the place was packed. I went with the Bayou Shrimp--gulf shrimp sautéed with pork tasso in a Creole tomato sauce, served over poached eggs, fried green tomatoes, and paired with a cinnamon swirl pancake. Sweet tea as my drink. From the first bite all I could say was WOW. Everything was full of flavor and cooked just right. Special shoutout to Daryl behind the bar--he was nonstop today, handling order after order with no complaints and still keeping a great attitude. A few teammates jumped in to help, but he carried the load like a pro. Service was on point, the food was fresh and delicious, and the vibe was just right. Definitely planning another visit soon! read more

A tip of the hat to this New Orleans expansion with lots of breakfast delights, powdered sugar and strong coffee. Bittersweet as we bide goodbye to friends but filling as we journeyed home. Beware they don't short you on sugar or hospitality. I needed syrup for my white chocolate pancakes but they were delicious. read more

Lafayette LOVES new restaurants and honestly, so do I. I was particularly excited about this new restaurant because I've been to the New Orleans location a few times and it always hits the spot. Met my girlfriends here for brunch and we all enjoyed our dishes. The menu is expansive-maybe a little too expansive-because they're just so many things that I wanted to try but went with what I would consider a safe choice which were their poached eggs, but I was lusting over my friends bananas foster pancakes, and next time I am definitely getting that. Service here was impeccable that day we had the cutest little waiter who was such a flirt and so much fun to flirt back with. I definitely recommend Ruby Slipper. I mean they're a New Orleans chain. How can you go wrong? It's New Orleans and although Lafayette has comparable restaurants, we love our New Orleans restaurants here and I will always make room for a Nola original. read more

Quick breakfast before a day out, the service here is great, along with the coffee. Great omelette with shrimp inside, and the grits were nice and creamy. The breakfast tacos were very filling and the avocado added to the eggs. The pancakes had butter with steen syrup which was really good and tasty. Great start to the morning. read more

Other than the booths being very uncomfortable to get in and out of and the very hard seats - this place is great! There's so many delicious sounding choices on their menu! It was hard to decide. Their choices of eggs Benedict is mouthwatering and makes it hard to choose. They seem to be very accommodating if you want to make small changes to the choices. I had the fried green tomato BLT that includes red tomatoes too. I didn't leave a single bite. I ordered cheese grits instead of the fries. SO GOOD!!! My husband ordered a plate of eggs, bacon and home fries. His plate was cleaned too! Just extremely great options and deliciously prepared! Highly recommend! read more

As a fan of Ruby Slipper from my visits to their New Orleans locations, I was excited to see them open in Lafayette This city is growing fast and a solid brunch spot like this was definitely needed One of the best features is the ability to check in and join the waitlist online With this being a new and popular addition to the food scene, the wait gets long, so this feature is a lifesaver The restaurant itself is in a newer plaza with a few other popular restaurants, but parking is tough Many people, including myself, ended up parking at Topgolf and walking over Not sure how sustainable that is in the long run, but for now, it works There's plenty of seating inside and some outdoor options as well Service was great I was helped by either Melissa or Jessica one of them was training and both were fantastic My food was just as good as I remembered from previous visits I had the catfish and grits, which were excellent the fish was crispy, well seasoned, and a great portion size I also ordered a single pancake just to taste, and it was delicious The only letdown was my lavender cocktail I forgot the exact name It was weak not even mild in strength so next time, I'll stick to a regular mimosa or a French 75 The pricing overall was fair and reasonable for what you get I'll definitely be back simply because Lafayette needed a brunch spot like this and Ruby Slipper delivers on food and atmosphere Just be prepared for parking challenges and long waits unless you check in online read more

Horrible service. There were only a few customers. Waitress was talking with a table, just visiting. Disappeared and then stood talking to same table again. She saw us. Another family came in about 20 minutes after us. She walked past us and took their complete order and stopped momentarily at ours but then kept going. Took my big tip straight to Another Broken Egg. read more

Food was good. So was service. This location is nothing like the New Orleans location. This one has 'strip mall' atmosphere.

We decided to try the Ruby Slipper for our anniversary. I'll keep this short and to the point. We arrived at approximately 9:15 and sat promptly. Our drink order was taken around 9:40. We received our food around 10:08. My wife ordered a make your own omelette with mushroom, spinach, and onion. She received an omelette with no onion and bacon, which she removed before eating. I had the Bananas Foster, which was fine. Our server was nice, but the service and food overall was one of the worst dining experiences we've ever had. Very disappointing, especially considering this was supposed to be a special event meal. read more

Got in quickly on a Sunday. I do think it was right before the rush, as it was very cold, and they gave our party of three a large table. Ordered quickly, nothing really off menu. The omelette did have wrong ingredients, but he tasted it and was fine, didn't want to wait. Everyone was quite friendly, paid attention to us, lots of staff hustling around. I've been to both other locations, and the quality has absolutely transferred to this location. Quality ingredients and great taste. The biscuits and gravy are really my go to, silky texture is perfect. Parking is abundant, but do be careful on a crowded day, like Sunday, as there are other locations in the strip mall, and some people do not bother to look. read more

I went here for the soft opening and had a pretty good time. Service was quick and the waitress was so sweet and friendly. Food was absolutely delicious. I really enjoyed my avocado bowl. There were only a couple of mishaps though. One of our drinks had a hair on it but that was resolved fairly quickly. There was also an issue with a machine that started blasting water everywhere. Everyone took it well and laughed it off. We even clapped afterwards when it was fixed. I had a great time! read more

My experience has been amazing every time I have had an opportunity to visit professional staff and Brandon/Manager has been nothing less than exceptional. Brandon is present and makes coming to Ruby Slippers feel like home. Me and my friends Roz, and Brooke really appreciate his hospitality while dining in, thanks Ruby Slippers for employing a manager that truly cares. read more

The white chocolate bread pudding pancakes were delicious. My wife had the berry Chantilly French toast. She said that it did not have much flavor, based on the description. I noticed they toasted only one side of each slice. Perhaps a more liquid blue berry sauce may be good. I understand limiting sauce but if doing that to drive away customers, defeat your purpose to grow your base. It was our first time but we will go back for a second chance. read more

Very friendly service and great food. I'm used to attending the ones in New Orleans so I was very excited to try this one in Lafayette. It was pretty busy so the food did take a minute but that was to be expected. I'm a sucker for their delicious pancakes! The loaded tater tots and the French toast bites did not disappoint if you're looking for a good appetizer though I believe the tots are more filling. Those French toast bites do pack a lot of flavor though And those drinks took me back to the French quarter lemme tell you! ‍slammin. I def recommend if you're a drinker (it'll help with waiting on food if it's busy). All in all - service and wait time included I'd give everything a 7.8/10 read more

just like the one on the French Quarter. lots of tables. lots of good food there . service was friendly and funny read more

Started off with ordering a Nola Iced Coffee and received the Creamy Vanilla Spiced Iced Coffee. Although it wasn't what I ordered, it was good enough to drink the whole thing! Loaded Tots were okay, just too heavy to have for brunch. Tots were drowned in sauce and I wouldn't say that it's a "shareable" size as described on menu. Can feed two people max. Salmon Avocado toast was very refreshing and flavorful. 10/10 no complaints there! The Peacemaker was also great. I couldn't decide what I wanted to sit was nice to be able to build my own Benedict. In my option, the bayou was more flavorful than the chicken st Charles. Will absolutely get again. Our serve CC was very attentive and was very helpful with the menu. While waiting for our food, she even gave us cards with breakfast themed jokes to read through. All in all, we had a great experience! Great atmosphere as well. read more

One of my FAVORITE places in South Louisiana! Was introduced to this place in New Orleans, this is my first time eating at the one in Lafayette! Always reserve a table before going! It will help with the wait if a bunch of people are there... but with luck, the waitresses will get you seat before your reservation! Food is A-1!!!! I've never had anything bad to eat here! Drinks are great and the prices are even better! read more

My mom and I visited this new location today and the food was devine! Our server, Trey Mamou was absolutely amazing! He was very attentive, courteous and made sure we enjoyed both our time there as well as our food! This young man deserves a raise! We can't wait to visit again with more people and request to sit in his section! Thank you again for the A plus customer service!! read more

Ruby Slipper is always a win. The food is consistently amazing, the atmosphere is fun and welcoming, and the service truly sets it apart. Every visit feels intentional, not rushed, and you can tell the staff genuinely cares about the experience they're creating. A big shoutout to the manager, Tad. He does an incredible job leading the team. He's attentive, professional, and clearly invested in both his staff and the guests. That kind of leadership shows. Everything runs smoothly, and it makes the whole experience even better. If you're looking for great food, great vibes, and top-tier service, Ruby Slipper delivers every time. Highly recommend. read more

Yesterday my friends and l were treated to delicious food, excellent service from Caly, and a nice, relaxed visit. We will be back! The chef came by with a sample of orange curd cranberry French toast and it was delicious. We ordered Avocado Toast, Eggs Blackstone Benedict and the Southern Breakfast and no one had any complaints. read more

This food was horrible. The shrimp and grits should be called shrimp and grease. There was grease floating on the top and the shrimp were rubbery. The cappuccino was lukewarm and The service was slow and food came out cold. This definitely not like the one in New Orleans. read more

Get on the waitlist early! It's new and gets packed quick. Seating is nice and spacious and the booth was comfortable. Our waitress Briana was super awesome and very helpful. She made great recommendations on food and drinks. She took pictures with us and told us about her likes. Another waiter stopped by our table to tell us about the weekday happy hour and he was funny. The manager stopped by to process our payments and see how things were because our waitress has just gotten a huge party and was a little busy. Our food was delicious. I got the Eggs Couchon and the Shrimp Benedict. Flavors were great. The biscuits were so good. Speaking of good let me tell you about the Flight of Mimosas. Share it with a friend so that you can try them all. I think the Pineapple Peach is the best in the flight. We needed up ordering the Bacon Blood Mary and it was soooo good. Bacon, Olives, picked green beans.... It was spicy and delicious. Definitely the Ruby Slipper is being add to our brunch spots. Highly recommend and will be back! read more

The charm and friendly atmosphere at this new location has definitely carried over from New Orleans! We had such a great brunch here. So many food choices and drinks to choose from. I will say that my favorite part was feeling so welcomed by the staff and management! Huge thanks to Justice, Madison and Nick for making our experience truly unique! We will be back soon and I recommend this place to anyone looking to have a great dining experience! read more

The location is great, but the parking isn't. The option to check in before you get there is really nice. When we got there, our table is ready. Unfortunately, all they had were booths available and the seating is quite snug. Our waitress was very nice but she forgot to bring our drinks out (a glass of water, and a glass of Coca Cola). We got the Smashburger with fries. The fries were really good. The burger was nothing to write home about. Our bill was correct and our food order was correct. We likely won't return. read more

I'm originally from New Orleans and was excited to try this location, but unfortunately the experience was very disappointing. The service we received from our waitress was poor, and the overall experience felt unorganized and unpleasant from start to finish. Because of this visit, I will never return to this location or recommend it to others. It definitely did not reflect the quality or experience I've come to expect from the New Orleans location. read more

We visited The Ruby Slipper for breakfast over the weekend and I was not very impressed. The saving grace from it being an abysmal dining experience was the service. Our waitress was very sweet and apologetic for the long kitchen times. Speaking of, the wait for our food was ridiculously long. We were a party of 2, ordered a burger and an eggs Benedict and waited well over 45 minutes for our food which was disappointing at best. The burger was bland over cooked meatballs of a patty. Whatever condiments were supposed to be dressed on the sandwich were missing in action. The burger was so dry and bland I had to ask for some mayo and ketchup just to be able to get it down. The Benedict my wife ordered was underwhelming, overcooked poached egg which is the center piece of the dish so if that isn't done correctly the dish just falls flat which it did sadly. After all the hype of this chain along the gulf coast I was expecting a decent meal and that is not what we received unfortunately we will not be back... read more
