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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Build your own omelette with sausage and cheese, home fries, biscuit.

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.

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!

The French Press - The Beignets * soooo flaky! Delicious!

The French Press

(29 reviews)

Outstanding - well prepared breakfast options enjoyed by all - from the Grandparents to the…read moreyoungest grandchild. Nice spot / staff / proportions. Definitely worth a visit and a revisit. From Cajun items to mainstay classics - enjoy !

I stopped by The French Press for brunch during a recent visit to Lafayette. I had previously been…read moreto their downtown location, which I believe has since closed, so this visit was to the location off Ambassador Caffery. The interior of this location was very nice and welcoming. There was a good mix of seating options that seemed accommodating for both larger groups and smaller parties. The music selection was also enjoyable and added positively to the overall atmosphere. I ordered the shrimp and andouille omelette. I will say the presentation was very stark and uninteresting. Just based on how it looked, I would not have expected much from the dish. While I cannot quite pinpoint how it could be improved visually, it simply came across as boring on the plate. That said, the omelette itself was better than expected once I started eating. The bites that included both shrimp and andouille sausage were the strongest and most flavorful parts of the dish. Overall, if I were judging strictly on appearance, my expectations would have been low. Taste wise, I would give the meal about a 6 out of 10. I did notice several other dishes coming out to nearby tables that looked more appealing, so while this order did not fully impress me, I would not rule out returning. Next time, I would likely try something different from the menu.
