We were staying at a local AirBnB in Kenner, so we bought some groceries and made breakfast there to save on money during our vacation in New Orleans. We had to check out of the AirBnB this past weekend on Saturday morning by 10 o'clock and we had 3 hours to spare before we headed to the airport. We were told again and again by our Lyft and Uber drivers that the Ruby Slipper was the place to go to for breakfast. We went there... and we're glad we took everyone's advice! We had all of our luggage with us and they were kind enough to watch it upfront for us while we ate. As new customers, we were greeted with a free appetizer of French toast bites. Those were so good, it made me want to slap my mom. I had never tried shrimp and grits before, so I ordered that, and it was quite lovely. The cane butter is where it's at!!! You have to put it on their homemade biscuits. Carolina, the hostess, was very friendly and accommodating. Our waitress, Rebecca, was very sweet and kind as well. The service and hospitality of this place was amazing for a little breakfast diner. We'll definitely be back to make a mattress out of those biscuits! read more

Ruby Slipper Veterans - Bananas foster French toast. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

Great food , service is nice but very hands off, great atmosphere! Will go again! Love the Baton Rouge location also

The food is spectacular it's always crowded because it's a very good place to eat but the problem I have if there's a problem here is they keep it blistering cold in here to the point where it's uncomfortable even if you have a light jacket or long sleeve shirt. They've got to turn the air conditioning down it's unfair if you're a young person and cold I can only imagine the older people have to be freezing read more

No negatives! Food was excellent and service was great. Usually seated within a few minutes. French toast bites are yummy!!

Stopped by Ruby Slipper Veterans for brunch after hearing great things, and while there were some highlights, the experience overall was slightly above average. The menu has a lot of tempting options, and the biscuits were definitely a standout--fresh, flaky, and delicious. The fried fish was fried to perfection and had good flavor. The espresso was average. The iced coffee was 7/10. It's not a bad spot by any means. read more

Ruby Slipper Veterans - Shrimp omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

Love this for brunch! Everyone always finds something delicious! My husband is a big fan of the eggs Benedict three ways (the trifecta), don't miss it!!!! read more

I've eaten at this location twice and have come to the conclusion that there are better Ruby Slipper locations in the area. The beignets have consistently been good! My favorite dish is the Eggs Cochon and the portion size was significantly smaller at this location. I was still hungry when I finished it. On my most recent visit, I ordered an item with fried catfish. I can't remember the name but the fish was fried nicely, although lacking flavor. Service has always been good so no complaints there! Parking is a bit of a headache. Either get there early or you'll likely have to make several laps before finding a spot. The wait list is a must as well! read more

Alw crowded is the Ruby Slipper way but we don't mind the bar, so be flexible. The look is like every other Ruby Slipper, wordy but bright. Lots of info on their specials and history are posted. Nice free parking lot, good service but its Mardi Gras season and diners are also in competition with pick up orders. Service is good, but it's not super quick. Most every drink is strong and comes well before the food; so pace yourself baby. Not super cheap but fair prices. The grits tend to be runny and the French toast bites a little greasy but everything else is good. Worth it if it fits your time mandates. read more

The food was great as always. Candied bacon is never a bad choice. I had tacos and my wife had eggs Benedict. Server was polite and timely. She didn't rush us or make us feel uncomfortable when we enjoyed some conversation after we ate. Plenty of people watching as some came to pick up and others sat for breakfast. We look forward to going back. read more

My server was awesome, I didn't catch her name. I got exactly what I wanted, was a little wait, they were very busy. Went to location in Metarie. Reasonable pricing. The beignets were small but you get like 5-6. read more

Great food & waitress. Wait was a little long but we were in no rush. I believe it's a newer location so maybe that was why?

Horrible service - inedible bacon. Cold and hollandaise was broken. Flat mimosa, watered down bloody. I really don't understand why locations aren't consistent. Wasted money at its finest. read more

One thing I can say about this place is that they have some really good service. Waiters and waitresses are always cool and easy to talk to. The ambiance is cool but the food is hit or miss. Im a pretty simple breakfast eater so I like to get pancakes eggs and chicken sausage. I just wish the food came out the same every visit. read more

Food was hot and fresh . Fried green tomatoes were so good my goodness. lol cinnamon roll pancakes was good and catfish and grits with the sauce definitely recommend read more

Same great food, service and feel as other locations throughout the city! Parking here is a little easier than the Metairie Rd. location. We got the loaded tots today and they were so good! Made with the same pork debris as the eggs cochon and a delicious Tasso cream sauce. I can't wait to go back and get these again. If you go on your birthday, don't forget to ask for your free birthday starter! read more

Food was awesome. It was hot and delicious. The fried green tomato was good bit cut a little too thick. read more

Was here on vacation, we were seated and didn't see a server for 10 mins. A simple I'll be with you in a minute would've suffice. Don't recommend this at all, find another place. read more

Food and service was excellent. Food was hot and flavorful. Depending on the day and time, you may have to wait. Highly recommended!

This place was amazing. We are visiting for a wedding, this is one of the breakfast places that was highly recommended. It did not disappoint! Honestly, the server Ronnie made it 10x better, he was incredibly helpful in navigating the menu, patient with us being out of staters and even gave us great tips about the city! I got the southern breakfast, my husband got the shrimp and grits and we got beignets to share. Everything was delicious! read more

Ruby Slipper Veterans - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

My food was good. I had a few burned French toast bites and the chicken was the star of the dish. I sat at the bar and there was only one other patron. I was hopeful because I was offered a drink immediately. Then downhill everything went... I received my watermelon margarita wasn't asked my preference of rim condiments... my food came out and I sat for about five minutes to get my attendants attention and thankfully there were two people working the bar... I grabbed the attention of the other staff and she secured me a set of utensils. As I ate, I finished my water first... really wanted more it wasn't until I asked as she was not attentive to the guests at the bar. This was Saturday around 1:30pm... I've had better serve here... I'll be back before I play it safe with the Burgundy location. read more

Pig Candy is an amazing thing. The service is very good and the restraint is always clean and welcoming.

Came here on a Wednesday morning. Our waitress Rebecca was amazing. The restaurant accommodate my vegan friend with a dish completely off the menu. They made us feel so special. I will be back solely for Rebecca. 10/10 recommend. read more

Great. Service is always great & accommodating even when they have a full house they manage to provide great service.

Food is outstanding and the service is always first class. Be mindful of the parking and do not park across the street in the back as they have security watching. read more

I always receive great service when I go to any of the RS restaurants. This location may be my new fav because of the larger patio that's outside but with covering and several large outdoor heaters. Also, don't forget to join the wait list via the fab Yelp app. read more

A must have experience great food tremendous service. Ask for Rebecca great can't say enough about the laid back atmosphere very relaxed and comfortable. BEST TO RESERVE. read more

4.5/5 stars, food was delicious. Highly recommend the 1 Tomato, 2 Tomato Benedict for a meatless option that is super filling. Spiced vanilla iced coffee was good. Not overly sweet so it may disappoint you depending on what you're looking for. Outside of the food, our waitress was great. Very attentive, food came at a reasonable time after ordering. Parking was very difficult and annoying. They simply don't have enough. I suggest carpooling or Ubering during busy times. Host staff was struggling. Lines of people out the door when we arrived. Couldn't even make it up to the stand to let them know we arrived. Even received a text saying they would give our table away if we didn't check in right away. We were trying to but stuck in line. Host crew could have done a better job removing the traffic jam of people at the door. Overall good experience. Food great, decent atmosphere. Be mindful of parking and checking in when your table is ready read more

I went to Ruby Slipper on Veterans Memorial Blvd on 10/14/25 for breakfast. The location was not full and had lots of staff. The server we received was not very good. Everything I needed I had to ask for. I asked for sugar for coffee, I asked for water, I washed catchup, hot sauce, coffee refill. If you a server some things are basic. But that's not all. I had to ask for my food!!!!! After sitting for over 30 minutes she finally said oh I'll go see if it's ready. Really? Thanks for going check on my food. For poor service I give this location a 2. read more

Very disappointed!!, restaurant was almost empty, we got sat immediately, wait 5 minutes for someone to come get our order, once we placed the order we wait 1 hour for food but cancelled and walked out, other parties that came after us started getting their food, our waitress kept checking but waiting 1 hr for eggs is ridiculous. read more
