The food is great! Coffee is awesome! Staff is upbeat and happy! The building is cool and historic. Love this place, go here all the time. Great appetizers (try cinnamon bites) great coffee (they do special seasonal ones here. Great entries that are filling(Try them all) . Great staff here. The ambience is great, away from the hustle and bustle of the city but an easy 15 minute walk to get back in it. Historic building that still looks like a bank in the inside. read more

I had a basic breakfast omelet with grits, sausage links, and a Peach Bellini (but what I really wanted was the Lavender Paloma). I settled on the Peach Bellini, because I felt like it was the civilized thing to do considering we were there for brunch and flying out shortly after. What I should have done was start with the Peach Bellini and then chase it with the Lavender Paloma. I will just have to return to Ruby Slipper Cafe on my next trip and make things right with myself (and NOLA). Everything I ordered was delicious. We came just before the rush but wasn't able to get our order in within enough time; therefore, we ended up waiting quite awhile for our food to hit the table. These are just some parting notes, place your food order right away and order yourself two drinks at a time : ) read more

Herman brought such a smile to my face and joy to my heart as I ordered my food this morning. Had the loaded tots - AMAZING!!!!! Omelette - just the way I wanted it. The vanilla spiced latte....sweet!!! But I love coffee with my sugar and the whipped cream on top made it cool enough to drink. Great atmosphere. Enjoyed it!! Hope you do too! read more

First of all, the atmosphere is incredible. You walk in and are greeted with kindness. Our server was incredible and full of energy and gifted us a free starter!! Who doesn't love free things? We split the eggs benny trifecta, crawfish and grits, and a salmon avocado toast. Everything was delicious and cooked so well. 10/10 recommend. read more

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

Oh man, if you're in New Orleans and you don't do one brunch at Ruby Slipper, you are missing out. No, they don't take reservations. Yes, there will be a wait. It. Is. Worth. It. Plus, while you're waiting, you can have one of their amazing Bloody Mary's with all the things in it. Trust me, get the one with the bacon. Their benedicts and beignets are all pretty amazing, once you get seated, as well as the bananas foster french toast. Honestly, I've never had anyone order anything here that they said was bad. All good choices! read more

The food is amazing and the staff couldn't be better, especially Patrick who saved our morning

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.

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

Just left this location because the waitress was unattentive and unsanitary. Observed waitress using her bare hands to add lemon to my water. Was seated and took 20 minutes before anyone ever came to the table. I was there trying to celebrate my birthday. I don't recommend this location. I've been to the other location near Canal and had a great experience. But this location lackluster customer service, was a disappointment. read more

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

My daughter and I came here for a quick breakfast before leaving town. We were seated promptly but then waited for a little while before we were able to order. In fact in the time it took the waitress to come take our order, she had actually gone to other tables and taken their orders first, so I was a little nervous that our wait time would end up being much longer than expected. As it turned out, food came out relatively fast so it was not too long of a wait after all. I ordered a cup of hot coffee and my daughter ordered a specialty coffee drink. We ordered one of the seasonal beignets, which had an almond, blueberry, and cream cheese topping. For $7, we were a little disappointed when the beignets came. While there were four beignets, they were all really small. Also, the beignets were much harder than expected, and were actually very difficult to chew. My daughter had a cheese omelette with potatoes, And I went with the peacemaker, choosing two of the benedicts from the list. I wanted the Eggs Cochon and the corned beef, but they were out of the corned beef so I ended up with the chicken Saint Charles instead. The benedicts were both delicious. Service could've been a little better, but it definitely could've been worse. I waited a long time while they made fresh coffee, both at the beginning and then again for a refill. In the end, it was fine. read more

Jaleal was the best server ever!!!! Also the food was so yummy! Great ambiance for a hot date.

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

Ruby Slipper Marigny - Fried chicken special with Brussels sprouts and grits - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

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

Food was good, service was good, atmosphere was good. Was able to get in on a Saturday morning with a group of 8 without a problem. Will visit again. 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
