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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Great service. Great food. Parking is not so convenient but still a wonderful restaurant.

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

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

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

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

First & foremost the service and waiter we had was phenomenal 10/10 loved him! The food wasn't all that great honestly, it was average at best. I'm sure the kitchen staff is solid, but the menu or recipes seem to be missing some key flavor elements. The Bananas Foster French toast, for example, didn't have caramelized bananas or any brown sugar flavor, and the toast didn't seem to have much cinnamon just looked like it was dipped in eggs or something? Lol. Also... raisins?? The omelette was pretty basic too but not bad. Ambiance was okay, the outdoor seating looked like the nicest option. We were also first on the waitlist and still waited about 30 minutes (after waiting an hour on the waitlist). For the area, food, the wait time, and considering how great the staff was, it just didn't meet our expectations. read more

Nothing to brag on except service and the biscuit....trying to eat healthy and everything was fried, no grill options. Food scraps all over the floor....walked in, no hostess, no waiters.....others came in....we just stood there. Finally a waitress came over and seated us.....good service once we were seated....probably no rush to go back... read more

We went in for the French toast and the omelets. Ate myself into a coma ready for a nap. The servers were sweet and the food was well made. I live in Mobile and have gone to Ruby Slippers there, in New Orleans and here in Lafayette and all have been a pleasant and delicious experiences. Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Food and service was delicious! Recommend having a reservation as they are busy for a great reason!!

This was ok... my husband loved the Benedict's. He got the peacemaker where you can try too. Decaf coffee was not good nor was the regular. I got the french toast, I liked it. Eggs and bacon were blah. Service was great. Parking is terrible when busy.. we had to park across the street. read more

We found and joined the wait-list online because it was raining and the parking lot was full. When we were about 8th on the list (about 10min after joining at #17) and the rain let up we walked in to check in. We were seated immediately at a high top. Our server was attentive and excellent. I had a bacon bloody Mary and my partner ordered an Irish coffee. Both were good! We split the Benny trifecta and sweet heat French toast bites entrees. I enjoyed the chicken st Charles Benny the most with that pork taso cream sauce. The eggs cochon was like a pulled pork Benny and was also excellent. My partner are the shrimp Benny by himself and liked it. He agrees the chicken st Charles was the best thing we ate. The sweet heat chicken was perfectly fried and the French toast was yummy. If rather the chicken on a sandwich next time though. I liked both elements individually but not as much together. He thought Parish Biscuits has a better Benny overall, but I think it's comparable. We were seated by the kitchen which was fine although it was a bit loud and chaotic. To be honest, seeing how well the kitchen was run made me want to return. They really stayed on top of things and treated each other respectfully. Will definitely return! I want to try the mimosa flight and fried green tomatoes with a ruby fried chicken sandwich sweet heat style. read more
