Our server Jaleal B was so knowledgeable about the menu, the ingredients and all of the options on the menu. She made our day! So friendly, warm and welcoming we felt at home right away! The omelette was perfect! So fluffy! The fried green tomatoes were a mystic experience. There is no place like home! We love the Ruby Slipper! Thank you Jaleal! - from Chef Liz read more

We stopped in here on a very hot day for cocktails and a rest. Lots of staff. Cute place.

The food and service was so fantastic. I had the fried chicken benedict and felt like I had dies and gone to heaven. You could tell that everyone who worked there took great pride and they made the experience even better. The breakfast margarita cured what was ailing me and I just about died and went to heaven by the time I was done with my meal. Bravo! read more

Terrific menu, service, vibe. Great selection for a variety of preferences. I keep coming back every time I go to New Orleans.

Super service and packed at 8am on a Wednesday for a reason. So many delicious options. We had the spring begnet with lemon curd and creme. Then we ordered the Benedict where you get to choose any 2 or 3?! We ordered fried chicken and bacon Benny. Soo good! Lovely service and cheerful upbeat decor! read more

Great Brunch spot. Very diverse menu. I had the seasonal Honey Ham Benedict special that was out of this world. The ham was so flavorful, it was crispy and sweet, but savory, hard to describe. It was so delicious. And the crispy onions on top, YUM. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, and I noticed how they all got along so well, and were in such good moods. That tells you a lot about the business when the employees are happy. Great location, outside seating and plenty of seating inside. Really cool eclectic atmosphere. read more

The place was packed the Sunday morning we were there, (we were in New Orleans for the Taylor Swift concert and there were Swifties everywhere), The wait was over an hour but the staff was so patient and kind. The hostess whose name started with a D but I can't remember completely went out of her way to accommodate us despite being extremely busy. Our server, Remy, was also amazing. The food was excellent. I highly recommended the Bloody Mary and the Trifecta. read more

Great spot for hangover food and drinks! Lattes and biscuits were our favorites. Jaleal was a great server! All of the staff was upbeat and positive! Definitely a good stop when you're in NOLA. read more

Registered online for waitlist, got their own time 10:45. Waited outside for 45 minutes to be seated, several guest were seated in front of us. Our waitress was super nice and helpful. She brought a complementary beignet for the table due to the long weights and the Air Conditioning not working properly. Everyone at the table enjoyed the food, will try another time. read more

Super cute cafe, friendly staff and tasty food. My husband and I shared the candied bacon and then the biscuits and sausage gravy. The ruby mimosa could have been better but their coffee was really good and STRONG which is what one needs the morning after an evening out in NOLA lol read more

Excellent food and service. Would definitely recommend. Usually quite busy but no complaints at all. read more

Love this breakfast spot! It's in a cute neighborhood with lots of great architecture to check out if there's a wait. We got right in at the bar and loved our server/bartender Tony. My girlfriend got the special (fried chicken with Brussels sprouts and grits) and I got the shrimp Benedict and the fried tomato Benedict. Everything was beyond delicious and I wish we had bigger stomachs so we could have finished it all. The staff was good vibes as well. Great bloody Mary's! read more

Worst experience EVER....joined the waitlist, quoted approximately 45 minutes, sat outside with my 2 children. Almost an hour passes and the hostess (sweet as can be) yells down at us, asking if we're waiting for a table? We say yes, she brings us in and seats us. Not even a minute goes by and this waitress with short reddish hair walks up to our table, smacks it with her hands and starts talking very loudly saying, "We don't have any food, we don't have grits, we don't have biscuits, we don't have bacon, I don't know what the hell she's thinking (speaking about the sweet hostess who sat us I assumed) I thought she was joking at first, like it was going to be one of those places that are rowdy with their customers, which can be fun. I'm shocked and realize that she's serious, I said, we have been waiting over an hour ...her response "I'm sure you have and we don't have any food" No apology at all, and could care less about the paying customers. Maybe verify that they have food before you wait for a table. My daughter ended up leaving her purse there so we went back hoping it was there and the prior hostess was so sweet and said yes I put it in the office so it would be safe. So kudos to the young lady at the front, and shame on the older waitress with much more experience. read more

Wow, yesssss! Service was great, our server Terry made us feel welcomed and she was full of energy! The loaded tater tots was a pleasure and filled with your mama love!! I'll say, the portion are a perfect size. Think French cuisine meets brunch and they say, hey let's make it fabulous but not make you uncomfortable after! Haha I must say, the crawfish & grits cake are a must! If not, you will be missing out. The flavors came together with ease and so tasty. The chicken Charles was very tasty. The biscuits are very authentically southern, made to perfection. Avocado toast was Yummo! If you have to wait, I suggest doing that with their Bloody Mary, a tasty one to pass the time! read more

I am surprised at all the reviews raving about Ruby Slippers as we did not have a good meal here. I came here for breakfast with friends. I ordered the pig candy to start and the biscuits and gravy as my meal. There's an option to add a fried green tomato for $1, so I did that. Another friend ordered the fried catfish and grits and another friend ordered the fried green tomato benedict. The pig candy was underwhelming. It didn't taste candied at all, it tasted like they just pour maple syrup on the regular bacon. My biscuits and gravy were equally underwhelming. And the food was lukewarm not hot. The fried green tomato that I paid extra for was so burnt and flat it was hard to even tell it was a tomato. I literally (and politely) gave it back to the server immediately. I wish I would've taken a pic before I did. My friend who ordered the fried green tomatoes said her home fries were not only cold but burnt on the outside and uncooked on the inside. She asked them to be remade but the remade ones they sent out tasted the same (burnt and uncooked). Only one of us liked their food (she ordered the shrimp and grits). The rest of us all agreed it was underwhelming. The service also left something to be desired. Our server was nice, but we had to ask more than once for simple things like ketchup or water. Pains me to say but I would not come back to Ruby Slippers. read more

We really like this place. Consistent food, fun environment. I love their omelettes. Service is a little on the slower side but everything always comes out hot and yummy! read more

went in on sunday morning, maybe 1/4 full, got a table, and..................after 15 minutes one server asked if we were being waited on, we said nope, and she walked away.....the other Big lady was too busy on her phone to do anything so we left, and went to Frenchman all day. I guess they dont serve people who are out of town ??? Well it is a chain restaurant so the servers dont give a crap. read more

Very cute cafe! Was suggest by a local friend so had to try it out. The mimosa flight was pretty good but the star was the Bacon Bloody Mary! Absolutely delicious! My Fried Catfish and Grits was a 10 out of 10! Unfortunately the fried green tomatoes were lack luster also serving diced tomatoes on top of more tomatoes made no sense. I love fried green tomatoes so this was disappointing. Service wise everyone was nice and we got sat pretty quick. But the server wasn't very attentive. They were closing about an hr after we got there so I get it she was trying to get out of there (it was Lundi Gras) but still pay attention to your tables. Also the fact that I got my appetizer and there was no silverware delivered tsk tsk. I saw two servers in the corner, rolling up more with napkins. The fact that had to get up and get it myself was disappointing. Couldn't even get anyone's attention to ask for it. I rate the service about 4 out of 10. Otherwise my experience wasn't horrible I would go back for a 2nd try. read more

I first visited this outstanding restaurant when I came to visit New Orleans in November of 2023 from California. It was down the street from my AirBnB. From the moment I walked in I felt at home! The staff, the environment, the food, all top notch and believe me, I am super picky about service and only want great food. I even met the love of my life having breakfast there. Woohoo! Now having lived in New Orleans for almost a year, I dine here 2-3 days a week, it really is that good! Few restaurants can match the synergy of this staff, the consistency of the food, and a true neighborhood feel. Thank you to everyone at The Slipper for being so great. I truly appreciate your presence in my life and all the love you have showed me xoxo read more

So I'm very late reviewing this but my husband and I loved coming here for breakfast. As a matter of fact, we came here twice on our vacation! Everybody was so nice and the food was amazing. It was busy at times but we didn't have to wait that long and it never got too noisy. read more

This was my third time in Nola and I finally had a chance to get a table because they are always so busy. From the food to our waitress and staff was incredible. I didn't get any pictures because my food was gone before I realized I needed one. Very tentative and very tasteful. You can tell this restaurant family takes pride in what they do and really enjoy their customers. I am so glad we came and we will definitely be back! Thank you for the wonderful hospitality. read more

So many delicious options to pick from! Amani , our server is so friendly and down to earth! She's o nice, I want to put her in my pocket and take the trip with her. Also, Q, is so friendly and funny. He gave us a great recommendation along with Amani to get the morning margarita and man did it deliver! The food was fantastic! I had the OG Sammie and it was perfection! read more

seriously great bennies on the menu. And the shrimp and grits was great too. We recommend this location over the others due to service and the food here was incredible. read more

The single rudest experience I've ever had in a restaurant with the host within seconds of walking into the restaurant so we left immediately. Would never recommend anyone come here to eat. Don't bother making a reservation because they apparently don't bother checking them anyway. read more

The food was good and the service was on point! I did not like the fact of dogs being around where food is served

This is a local chain, and it doesn't quite have the charm of the funkier, more independent eateries you can find in NOLA. That said, it's cute, and the waiter was very friendly. Agree with other reviewers that it's a little slow -- don't go if you're in a hurry. We went first thing in the morning, and they weren't quite ready for us -- luckily, we didn't really want anything they were out of, but still... The food we did have was really good. I had the Eggs Blackstone bennie, which was delicious. My husband had the bread pudding pancakes, which were really good, but VERY sweet -- I would have needed more balance, but he definitely enjoyed them. The coffee at a place like this should be great, and it wasn't; it was fine, but not memorable. Good food, but not a place that is going to sear itself into my dining-out memories, especially in New Orleans. read more

I had my first Ruby Slipper Bloody Mary sixish years ago and every time I have had a Bloody Mary since I've been disappointed that it isn't as good. So on my latest visit I was looking forward to having my favorite Bloody Mary at this new location -- and it didn't disappoint. And neither did the rest of the menu. I introduced my BFF and sister in law to Ruby Slipper and got them hooked, too. The menu is full of variety and flavors and the staff are the friendliest, most helpful and funny people around. The wait is well worth it, but I recommend you reserve a table ahead, especially on the weekend. They have some outdoor tables, but not a lot, and limited seating at the bar. The eggs cochon are one of my favorites -- pork, biscuits, and a heavenly hollandaise sauce. It's filling and rich and perfect for brunch. We also shared the French toast bites and candied bacon -- divine and delicious. The rest of the table had a Florentine egg white omelette and classic biscuits and gravy. We were all members of the clean plate club and everyone agreed to return the following day for brunch. On all three visits our servers were excellent -- friendly, fast, and made excellent recommendations. We were never left wanting and appreciated seeing all the smiling faces, even when the place was slammed with tables. I really cannot recommend this place enough. I've been impressed with every location (Canal Street, Magazine Street, and now this one) over the years -- you just can't go wrong. read more

Originally passed this place a few days ago. Line was rather long so decided to dine at a place a block away and realized why there was no line! Went there early yesterday. Fortunately they got us in right away. Decided to get the Southern Breakfast with another biscuit and a side of gravy. Food came quick! Grits were really buttery and the biscuits were fantastic. The fried green tomato was good. Bacon was flaccid. Would definitely come back. read more
