This place was A-OK - nothing really blew me away but it wasn't bad by any means. Just a standard brunch, in my opinion. I ordered what the waitress said was their most popular dish - the Eggs Cochon. For the price I felt like the portion was smaller than I expected (don't get me wrong - I had plenty to eat, but it seemed a little spendy nonetheless). It was sort of dry near the end. The flavors were good but nothing was wowing me. I also had a mimosa which was pretty straight forward as well. My friend got a breakfast sando - again, standard. When I asked for jam (since my dish was dry and I needed some jam to finish it off) they didn't even have real jam, just smuckers disposables. Really? Anyway.I feel like this review is pretty boring but that's all I really have to say. Gosh, aren't you glad you read this? read more

Great experience dining with good friends. The wait is a bit long and the food wait once you're in is fairly lengthy also, but I'm worth it once you're in, especially if you're in no hurry and you're waiting with friends. Lots of out of towners frequently read more

Awesome brunch. I had their corned beef bennie (hash, biscuit, poached eggs, hollandaise and a taste of horseradish) and my wife had smoked salmon on a bed of spinach and roasted tomatoes with poached eggs. The double Mimosa is no joke either. read more

We eat here often, it is our go to for brunch on the weekend. Nice selection and good specials. I like their omelettes and pancakes and wifey likes the fried chicken Benedict. Come early or expect to wait, but it's worth it. read more

Have enjoyed eating at the other RS locations, but to have one open up around the corner from my apartment is great! The building is interesting, the menu is elevated breakfast diner food, so a little more pricey but more interesting than most comparable places, and the staff are attentive (a little too attentive at times? maybe just eager in the opening weeks). A bright, airy dining room, cheery atmosphere and just minutes away (for me!). read more

Very underwhelmed and only went here because had mostly good reviews and the location on Canal St. was way too busy. No wait at this location if you get here early enough. My mom and I ordered the build your own omelette with cheese and veggies. We both got potatoes, I got grits, she got toast. Omelet was ok, nothing amazing though. Grits were under-seasoned, but that's okay, I can easily fix that. Potatoes were a little weird, tasted like they were cooked with syrup or something was sweet about them--didn't really like that. Mom's toast was closer to burnt. Rewind to before our food came out. Saw a guy, who appeared to be a cook/chef come out the bathroom. Pretty hefty guy, just looking at him, he looked a little sloppy, and imagining him using the bathroom I just said to myself I hope he didn't make our food and was thinking I just hope I don't get food poisoning. Fast forward to that evening, my mom says she has cramps in her stomach and thinks it's an apple she ate earlier that day. She says maybe getting something to eat would help it, so we go to dinner and before we could even get seated, she's sweating, she's dizzy and then she throws up. I'm thinking well it couldn't have been breakfast at Ruby Slipper because we had the same thing and I'm perfectly fine. So fast forward to next morning, I'm in bed and my stomach is cramping, and guess what I throw up and have the same sweating and weakness she had. At that point I knew it was us eating at the Ruby Slipper. Not to mention this was the morning of our flight back home, as I was miserable on the flight. Writing this as I'm finally recovering :-(. read more

Well, it didn't start off too great. We were meeting another couple who were already there enjoying a cup of coffee... We joined them and then I proceeded to rubberneck for 15 minutes trying to get someone's attention so that I could also enjoy a cup of coffee which turned into 5 cups. Coffee was great though. Food was good however for a $27 breakfast there should have been more food involved. It was good but not that good. There are many more places to enjoy a more hearty serving of food for this cost. read more

The food was amazing!!! Everything came out perfectly! The service was AWFUL!!! Tables were unclean. We sat at the bar. A couple sat down after us and was given service before us. We had to ask for menus. My girlfriend asked for coffee. There were mugs available and the bartender gave her a paper cup. Another couple walked in went straight to the bar and got immediate service. There were three bartenders and six patriots at the bar. I'm a first timer in NOLA and the service here was very disappointing. Although the food was extremely delicious we will not be returning. Or recommending. Get it together Ruby slipper. read more

Delicious food! My hubs had the shrimp Benedict and I had the bananas foster pain perdu. Absolutely delicious. We also had the bacon infused vodka Bloody Mary and the big easy mimosa (nice and big). Very yummy and a great stop for breakfast! read more

Slow service, mediocre food Food came after 40 minutes. All we ordered was 2 orders of pancakes and an omelet. Food arrived "warmish". read more

My family and I came here for breakfast on a Sunday. We had a group of 15 people, but we were seated pretty quickly. Our server was Jack and he was very accommodating and fast. I had been wanting to eat here for a while and I was definitely not disappointed in the least bit. Everyone at our table was happy with their meals and the service we received(: read more

Caught them very crowded ,the omelet was over cooked the biscuit under cooked but the grits were perfect .

Ruby slipper of is my go to place especially in the Marigny. The building its self used to be an old bank and some original features remain. Jackie the bartender / waitperson provides first class service and conversation all the while working her fingers off she's amazing to watch. The food is always delicious, the atmosphere is wonderful and the neighborhood vibe just brings something peaceful to you. Try everything talk to Jackie you won't be sorry. read more

Great food, great cocktails, and the best service ever! Our waitress was so nice and sweet

The Ruby Slipper was pretty busy for our Saturday brunch but it is worth the wait. The staff was friendly and attentive. The menu is imaginative and delicious. read more

I've been visiting this restaurant for years almost 7 years starting at the midcity location back when it was just one location and you wanted almost 2 hrs to eat. Honestly it was about the service for me. The smiles, laughter and NOLA love! Sadly that was ruined by the General Manager at the Marigny location. All because he wasn't familiar with the point system and how it worked. Keep in mind I explained it several times and showed him what he needed to due per the rules on the website. Anyways it led to him standing over me scrolling me like a child. I asked him please not to stand over me. After the consistency of rudeness I snapped a picture of him so I could call corporate to file a complaint he then told me to get the fuck out here, my white waiter and a another white female waitress who came from across the restaurant to tell me the same. I told them I would gladly leave to give me my card back and that I wasn't paying a penny. All of this was super embarrassing! He ruined a very special place for me and my family. There was one member of the team who was buffing tables who just asked if I was okay and later told me do not let anyone keep me from the place and food I enjoyed. The GM manager of course was rude to him. I told the staff member thank you for just asking if I was okay. Anyways just know that the guy you The Ruby Slipper have working at that location he's rude, arrogant and not meant to over see people or customer service at least not at this location. The Marigny is a fun and colorful place. Long time customer GONE PEACE read more

This is quite a gem tucked away among houses. My companion and I were trying to stay on a grain-free diet, which can prove to be quite challenging in the Crescent city, but Ruby Slipper Cafe's omelette selection was a definite s buccess. Unlike most restaurants in the city, the cafe was bright and airy. The staff was great. All around, a pleasant way to wake up. read more

If I had stayed in the Marigny for longer than 24 hours I would have had breakfast at the Ruby Slipper Cafe every single day. It was my last day in New Orleans and I hadn't had shrimp and grits ($15) yet so I got that and my friend ordered the chicken St. Charles ($13). My dish was good - the grits were properly cooked, the beer+rosemary sauce was flavorful, and it was served with a humongous biscuit. The biscuit was about 3.5" in diameter and 3" tall - good ole Southern portion sizes! But the best part was my friend's dish. His chicken St. Charles was eggs benedict but with fried chicken instead of Canadian bacon, a biscuit instead of an English muffin, and gravy instead of hollandaise... times two. Yes, they halved one of their enormous biscuits, topped each half with a generous hunk of fried chicken, a perfectly poached egg, and gravy. All this for $13!! In SF I'd pay more for half the portion size! And of course the fried chicken batter was well seasoned and wonderfully crispy. My friend, 6' 2" and 200 lbs, cleaned up the entire plate and didn't need to eat dinner that night. If I come back to NoLa, there is no doubt I'd return to Ruby Slipper! read more

Ruby Slipper Marigny - Humongous biscuit! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I had breakfast here this morning. The service was really good and location was great, not far from the convention street where I am staying. I had the Louisiana omelet. It was not that impressive, only shrimp and cheese, literally. I also had a pancake and it was very heavy and thick, but it was good. I ordered a Bellini and the bar tender did not disappoint with the champagne. It was clean and quiet. Overall it was a good experience. read more

This is my second time here. Shrimp & Grits last time. Wasn't impressed. Hubby wanted to come back today. I ordered a'La'Carte. Okay.... corned beef hash. Just lukewarm, small portion, mostly potatoes & sitting in oil. Was happy it wasn't canned though? Biscuit. Pretty good. Really huge & well....not bad. Grits. Just warm, runny & not quite cooked. They were not instant, but too close. I think they should cream them & thicken up a bit. He ordered one pancake. Huge but bready- not a melt in your mouth kind. Still not impressed, but maybe I'll try again one day and order something else.....like a drink. read more

Awful food, everything served cold. Nothing unique or tasty. Even Coke was awful. How does this place stay in business. Wait staff awful. It's not even busy read more

We were looking for a brunch place and this was close to where we were staying in Marigny. We went on a day that was super rainy, we drove instead of walking for 10 minutes. We found a close parking spot and got a table right away. The breakfast cocktails were amazing. I had boozy coffee and the rest of my table enjoyed some amazing bloody Mary's. Most of us had the southern breakfast and it didn't disappoint. Grits and eggs were good, but the biscuits were out of control. On top of this it was torrentially raining and the restaurant was semi flooding. The entire wait staff didn't bat an eye. They did their best to keep everyone dry, all while cracking jokes. I will definitely come back. Prices were reasonable, staff were lovely. Food was excellent. And again, get the biscuits. read more

No. Don't do it. Everything was awful. Bacon raw, hard poached eggs, out of avocado on the Cuban. Kind of dirty. Don't know why it has good reviews. read more

Went Friday morning (9/2) at approx. 10:15AM and were seated immediately. I ordered Migas and they were excellent and my friend had the Eggs Blackwell and he thoroughly enjoyed his too. I also had a bloody mary which was ok. So we go back Sat. morning 9/3 about 10:30AM and again were seated almost immediately. I ordered the Eggs Blackwell and they arrived quite bland and cold. Also had another Bloody Mary. My friend had the Eggs Cochon and he didn't like his much either but the service was great. So we decide to return Monday/Labor Day for our final meal in New Orleans. We arrived (3 of us) at 12:30 and were told it would be approx. 30 - 35 minutes. We were not seated for almost an hour even though a group of 4 who I held the door for upon arrival were seated in 30 minutes and my friend had us on the list before them. The restaurant was clearing out as we were seated and by the time our order was taken, approx. 1/2 of the tables were empty. So we ordered and waited. And waited, and waited. After about a 35 minute wait, and the place almost empty, we still had no food even though we were told several times our order would be out soon. So needless to say, after almost 2 hours and starving we all were a tad irate so we got up and left having only coffee at this place. And the group of 4 who arrived after us, had already, eaten, paid and long gone by the time we left. So, on the drive home I got an egg biscuit from McDonalds. I will never eat at this place again even though I was a regular up until Monday. Consistency is definitely lacking from this place. There was no management around and Thank You Ruby Slipper for making a wonderful time in New Orleans end on such a sour note. read more

The one star was a gift! Didn't get to eat here and will never give it another chance. A server's SO and baby walked in and were given the table that we had been waiting for. We have never walked out on a restaurant, but felt we had no choice after that treatment. read more

Bring back the yogurt!!!!! I may start a petition. Who's with me? Apparently no one since they took it off the menu. Once upon a time they served this amazing greek yogurt with house made granola, fresh fruit, and drizzled with honey. It was the stuff my dreams were made of. And now they don't have it. I thought I would cry when I saw it was gone. Had an omelette instead. Meh. The rest of the food is fine. Nothing special. Just regular breakfast fare. Coffee is a little weak. Service is nice. The restaurant has an inordinate number of flies buzzing about. I am told it is from the nearby horses. Honestly, I probably won't go back. I have been 5 times, and without the yogurt, there are other places I would rather go. But it isn't a bad experience. read more

This place was pretty good! We filled our bellies on the Monday of St. Pats. The mint green pancakes were a good thematic idea, and fairly tasty. The florentine omelette was well composed with fresh ingredients. Overall a little over priced and somewhat stark/hokey decor, but a decent breakfast choice. They are very generous with their biscuit sandwich egg helping, and the biscuits themselves are fluffy and delectable. read more

I was expecting something fancy, i was wrong....BUT my awesome experience took over. The service and suggestions we got from our server, Jenny, was excellent. She explained everything to us and answered all of ou r questions. We ended up ordering the Trifecta.....O M G ! Thank you for a flawless first experience and we will see you again before we return to NYC. read more

Love to have a late breakfast here, the food is very good and doesn't keep you waiting. Restaurant is cozy and staff is friendly. Our waitress took good care of us, and we will be back again..and again. read more

The food was good. I had two of the Benedict both were delicious. The biscuits were fluffy and buttery. With our biscuit on the side they had a cane sugar butter which was amazing. Minus 1 star for very slow service once we were seated. read more

Exceptional! Chicken and Corned Beef Benedict was to die for! Great staff, food, bar. Unique charm!

This was a good place for breakfast with a good menu selection. Located in a neat old bank building. The staff was friendly. I had the bananas foster french toast which was good but a little too soggy and was literally submerged in syrup. It was a little too rich for me. The regular french toast might have been a better choice for me. I would definitely go again. read more

Great breakfast! And great Mimosas! Friendly environment! This place was highly recommended so I will continue the cycle! Definitely try this spot if you're ever in New Orleans! read more

Very good an no wait. Bloody Mary was good but a little pricey at $10. The Peacemaker was delicious as you can choose 2 different egg Benedict's for $15 and they are loaded! I had leftovers for another meal. They were out of salmon which I wanted to try but over all really good. Server was fun, silly and sassy but sweet. I can't wait to go again. read more

This place is great for breakfast! Due to the warm weather, we were able to sit outside - quite a treat for December! I did a byo omelet with avocado and peppers, side of grits and a biscuit. The grits were outstanding and the butter that comes with the biscuit was absolutely amazing. Coffee was just so so but otherwise this was a great meal with friendly service. read more

Needed breakfast for our flight back home to Maryland and found The Ruby Slipper. I had the 3 little pigs omelet and had to try their pig candy bacon which was out of this world. The wait staff (ours was Jack) was also spectacular!! Wish our bellies could hold more because there was so much more to try. read more
