This place was amazing let me say. This particular location used to be a bank. It was the last bank that Bonnie and Clyde robbed. Our hostess Jack aka Cracker Jack was an amazing host. He told us all these cool facts such as the Bonnie and Clyde info. He was told us what to watch that great, and told us how to jazz up our meal.... He gave us some options of what to do next after we eat. He was such a great time. When we come back to New Orleans, we have to come see cracker jack read more

This is a great brunch spot. They like to fill your glass of champagne high! The food is super delicious, I had hot chicken and French toast bites. OMG mouth watering good. The only sort of thing I didn't love is the ceilings are really tall, so if there are a lot of people, it can get loud. But is that terrible, no. The ambiance is great, and there are super fun summer type decorations everywhere. This is just outside the French Quarter in the Marigny but within walking distance. read more

Our Party of six got on the waiting list given a 30 minute timeline. Noticed multiple parties of 10 or more of different color being seated in front of us. Racial preference being practiced at this location. At one hour we gave up. Don't waste your time. read more

Never been to this location in the Marigny before, and it was a very good experience! Cool location with a great vibe! Food was very good and the server was friendly, personable and very helpful. Will definitely visit this location again soon! read more

Was recommended this place by a local and considering there were multiple locations and one around the corner from our hotel, we had to check it out. I got the eggs benedict, and it was tasty, but not the best I've ever had. Coffee was decent, but nothing something I would go out of my way to drink. Ambiance was your typical brunch vibe which I enjoyed. We sat at the bar and got to do a lot of people watching from there. Great service, provided laughter, insight on the menu, quickish refills, quick turnaround on a overcooked poached egg. read more

Visiting from Ohio and this place was everything I expected when I think of New Orleans cuisine!!! Service was perfect we truly enjoyed ourselves and will come back. read more

My friend and I were in New Orleans for a week and we discovered Ruby Slipper looking for another restaurant. Wow! We fell in love with the restaurant and the staff. the food was fabulous! The portions perfect. The Staff were friendly, kind and their service was efficient and yet relaxed. We felt at home! The building has an interesting history and for that it's worth getting up and starting your day with a wonderful southern breakfast! read more

Third time this trip. Slow food slow service slow everything. Mistakes after mistake. Every time was horrible. Last year the place was great but it is now seriously broken! read more

I am a sucker for eggs benedict so of course that's what I got. However, I have to say they were just okay. Kind of mid, really, but I do respect the fact that they have so many different kinds to choose from and you can mix and match when is something I wish more places would do. We started out with some drinks and my boyfriends amaretto coffee was divine. The show stealer is without a doubt the french toast bites. I don't even like french toast normally but these were so crispy and flavorful and I still dream about the praline sauce they come with. Our server Taranesha was so good to us and didn't let us feel neglected at all despite how busy the place was when we were there. To give anyone visiting a heads up, you do want to put your name on a waiting list through the website and don't forget to check in with the host when you get there. read more

Ruby Slipper Marigny - BLT with scrambled egg added - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

We were seated immediately at Ruby Slipper, which was a great start to our visit. Unfortunately, things went downhill after that. Once seated, our order was taken, but we were informed they were out of several items. There was no tequila available for margaritas, which was disappointing, and the food took over an hour to come out. My son ordered the Costa Rican Breakfast, but they were out of multiple key components: the fried plantains, beans, rice, and avocado. I ordered a breakfast dish as well, and my eggs came out completely liquid. To their credit, they did fix the issue by offering freshly cracked eggs, which I appreciated. However, the dish was supposed to come with a biscuit, and those weren't ready either. Our server, Jack, genuinely tried his best to make alternative recommendations and help the situation, but there was only so much he could do given the circumstances. The food we actually received tasted good, but the long wait, missing items, and overall lack of preparedness made the experience frustrating. Good food, but unfortunately very poor service this time around. read more

It's a cute brunch place in a good location. However, the wait time was much longer than what online said and what the host said. We waited for about an hour when we were quoted 15 minutes. Then we waited about 40 minutes for our food as well and only one person in our groups food was good. They were also out of most everything and brought out a plate with substitutes for some things and didn't let us know they were out of it. For the price we paid (over $100) for breakfast, the intense wait times, and them giving us to go (plastic) silverware at the table, I would not recommend going here. read more

The food is SO good! Everything on the menu looked so appetizing it was hard to choose. The inside has a great aesthetic, very open and charming. Service was incredible, had the best time chatting with our server Brandy, will definitely have to come back to try more food and catch up with Brandy!! read more

Street parking, outside dining and a great staff. Everything and everyone was PERFECT. It's been awhile since I have given any establishment that type of love. But the Ruby Slipper Cafe was everything we needed and more! Cute and quaint. Small and cozy. What more can you ask for and it was only steps away from our Airbnb in the Marigny neighborhood. There was so many items that we wanted to try. We are actually considering returning in the morning for breakfast. Our server was Herman, lively and friendly and made me feel like a regular. A great place to eat, relax and feel like you are a regular (loved and appreciated)! read more

Pretty good place to grab a 10am breakfast in the middle of the week. More locals come here so there isn't the grifter vulture hovering vibe that you'll see in the noise infested French Quarter area. Service is polite, friendly and dependable. I had the shrimp grits and it was nearly perfect until I realized it didn't come with an egg. Would have been perfect with an over easy egg on top of it. Was still pretty good.. I also had their signature Bloody Mary. On a hot humid summer day here, it hit the spot. Interior is outdated orange but still quaint. I'd come here again with no worries. read more

The restaurant is so charming on the inside with a real New Orleans vibe. The staff is very attentive and were transparent with issues with staffing in the kitchen on the day of our visit. The wait was long, but it was so worth it. The Trifecta has eggs cochon, chicken St. Charles and Bayou shrimp, a good way to sampl each. The St. Charles was my favorite of the three. The portions are huge and very filling with the eggs cooked perfectly. read more

They were out of a lot of dishes so I settled for the southern breakfast. Very basic average breakfast. Nothing to holler about. My favorite thing was the biscuit. I definitely expected a lot more considering the hype and wait times. read more

Great food great service. Pretty loud but that was ok. Would come again. (I had the corned beef hash Royale)

A very enjoyable brunch. Service was super friendly and attentive. They even gave us a quick run down of the history of the location. Apparently Bonnie and Clyde robbed this former bank! The atmosphere was casual and inviting. The bloody Mary was a good way to start the meal. The trio of eggs Benedict on top of their biscuits was very enjoyable. The highlights were the shrimp Benedict and their homemade biscuits. Delicious. The bananas foster French toast were also good and provide a nice sweet contrast. Recommended! read more

As I'm writing this I'm shaking my head in disbelief... This has been the best place we've eaten at since we've landed. The moment we walked in,... We were warmly greeted, friendly chatted up while we waited for our table and had the most delicious breakfast. Service is amazing and the hospitality was top notch. Veronica was the best, most pleasant. Most beautiful individual I have ever met. We will be back!!! read more

First meal here in New Orleans and it was delicious. I'd recommend this to anyone visiting. White chocolate pudding pancakes reminded me of a cinnamon role and were sweet and fluffy. Comes with syrup and bacon. The eggs cochon were recommended by our server and it was BOMB. Biscuit underneath, pulled pork, and poached eggs. Spinach was a nice touch for some greens. Service was so friendly, nice vibes, and welcoming atmosphere. Will definitely be back. read more

Ruby Slipper Marigny - White chocolate pancake and Egg Cochon Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I wish I had pictures, but this place is so delicious! I have had their Chantilly pancakes, which were incredible! Their bananas, foster French toast, which is next level. Their beignets, which are good. And I've also had their vegetarian and shrimp omelettes which were also very good. Their biscuits are to die for, some of the best biscuits I've ever had. Can't wait to come back here! Only thing I wish they served was maybe like a Greek yogurt parfait or something read more

First time in NOLA and heard great things about breakfast at Ruby Slipper. Jaleal B. was our server and she was a ray of sunshine! She made great suggestions and was so welcoming. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The biscuits were the best we've had, pancakes were divine, and everything was fresh and satisfying. 10/10 experience! Thank you Jaleal and make sure you come visit NYC! read more

I made reservations for 6 people ahead of time. I showed up at the reserved time. The waiter walked to the little iPad or computer by the entrance of the restaurant and asked "how many?". I told him we had a reservation. He asked me "Is everybody here?". I stated," we have 4 people...." He cut me off. Didn't let me finish my statement. His Attitude was over the top. He has no clue what I was going to say. My husband had to even walk up into the convo when the waiter started to talk to me as if I was 5. Only then did the waiter simmer his attitude down. He even added onto it by telling my children and I "you have to go outside. You cannot wait inside until your entire party is here". My entire party was there by the time he said that statement. My family did not stay and eat here. His attitude sucked. And for giggles.... Over half the restaurant was empty. We didn't even need a reservation. read more

This place has become a staple for us on vacation here in New Orleans. The service is fantastic. Veronica is such a sweetheart and the whole entire team is extremely friendly and welcoming. Not to mention... food is superb! Anything from biscuits and gravy to a veggie omelet is solid! Also the spiced vanilla latte is fantastic. All in all... this place is a 10/10 and definitely recommend coming here!! read more

Bright, fun atmosphere. Immediately upon waking in I felt a happiness from the decor and the welcoming. Our waitress, I think her name was Michelle, was very friendly. The food was AMAZING. My shrimp and grits were fresh and flavorful. The Benedict sandwiches were delicious and all of the sweets were great. Of course, we had to have beignets while in town and these were wonderful. As much as we tried to finish it all, we ended up with leftovers. We had some pancakes, some beignets and a biscuits. Even though we had a day of walking in the heat ahead of us we took them to go. They were still delicious the next day!! That tells you something. The drinks were tasty, too! The Bloody Mary was especially unique because it had a a distinct bacon infusion flavor. Very tasty! I'm glad we gave it a go and I recommend it for sure. read more

Would normally be raving about the staff and the food etc. But for weeks now the espresso machine has been "broken"! And last year, the espresso machine was "broken" for weeks at a time! Now it's reached the point of ridiculousness! It's a breakfast place with a huge corporate budget! If you can make lattes or espresso at breakfast, maybe you need to be in a different line of work!! read more

This spot was on my list of places to visit while in New Orleans. I didn't know there were several locations. Luckily, we made it to this location and there wasn't a wait. This location is located in a residential area so you'd need to find street parking. This restaurant has a smaller, intimate setting with a bar conveniently located in the middle of the restaurant. We were seated right away and the waiter here was very friendly. He was sure to keep us laughing with his jokes and accommodate our needs. I decided to build my own omelet since none of the omelets had exactly what I needed. The omelet came with a giant biscuit and grits to die for! I don't believe I've ever had grits that good. Either the portions were too small or the food was just that good because I was able to finish my food (I never do this) and leave satisfied and full. They also have a variety of breakfast cocktails and coffees. I was feeling risky and ordered a boozy iced coffee. All in all, everything met my expectations and I Wouldn't mind returing. read more
