    This is such a cute spot that's somewhat tucked away. The ambiance is casual but very comfortable, making it a great place to take someone for a good brunch or an afternoon bite. I had the fried chicken Benedict on a buttermilk biscuit with a cream étouffée sauce that was spectacular. The pineapple mimosa was also pretty incredible, and I really enjoyed the fried green tomatoes. The food was outstanding, but their customer service was unfortunately a bit lacking. Overall, it was an excellent experience, and I would definitely return.

    Such a wonderful place. I enjoyed delicious praline pancakes, drip coffee, bacon, and bayou shrimp benny. I went for something small and kept ordering because everything was so well done. Service was top notch. The bartenders, servers, hostess - I mean I'm from NOLA but this was some next level welcoming energy. I felt like I left as friends with them all. I will be back! It was also extremely clean, well organized, and peaceful.

    Customer service 5 stars. I went in alone Friday morning around 8:20. Hostess greeted me immediately and sat me. Server came right over and got me started. I had an expression martini, tots starter, shrimp Bennie. Everything came out super quick, hot, and was yummy. Manager was moving around. Communicating with colleagues and guests. She complimented my cardigan and made sure I had all I needed. I was near the kitchen and everything seemed clean and in order. They also seemed to be enjoying one another and getting work done. They were quite busy and everything went smoothly. Would come back with family. Generous parking. Free. And a great outdoor option for families if the weather is right. Megan D was my server. She was very nice helpful and responsive.

    I finally made it to the Ruby Slipper after driving by it for years and it didn't disappoint!! I wanted to try everything on the menu but decided on Biscuits & Gravy ( half just one egg ), loaded tots, and sangria. The sangria came to the table first and omg it definitely set the tone for chill Sunday brunch vibes. The loaded tots were seasoned well and had a slight crisp, the biscuits and gravy were flavorful just enough gravy for every bite without making the biscuits soggy. The atmosphere is casual and a mix of tourists and locals ( like myself) you have the option to sit at the bar, outside or inside. My server Timothy was friendly knowledgeable and checked on me while dining. Great experience without breaking the bank.

    This was a pleasant experience! It was a lot of people in the place but the line was not long. We were quickly greeted and seated by the host. I loved the artsy decorum throughout the restaurant. My family ordered a few things- see photos. My food choice was EGGS COCHON BENEDICT & my drink choice was RISE & GRIND COCKTAIL (Espresso Martini). Afterwards, we went to play corn hole in the nice green space. They give 15% military/first responders discount too. Overall, enjoyable experience!

    This is not what I expect ! The neighbor is somewhat run down ! This place is a cornerstone restaurant in this neighborhood ! Food was great and service was even better ! Lots of live in this place ! Happy hour at 8am is the bomb ! Cornhole out side and servings were more than enough ! A very good neighborhood feel !

    I've heard a lot of good things about Ruby Slipper, and after trying it out for the first time I can definitely agree with the positive comments! The restaurant decorum was very creative and nice with NOLA based artworks around. There's also a cool outdoor patio with fun games (connect 4 & bean toss) and seating available. There's a spacious parking lot right next to it. Our server, Diana, was super helpful and really funny! She was awesome to us. We got their Costa Rican Breakfast ($13.00) and Peacemaker combo, which is 2 different Egg Benedict's of your choosing ($17.00). For the Peacemaker, I chose their Chicken St. Charles & Eggs Cochon. So delicious!! Everything was very flavorful and tasty! I liked how balanced the Costa Rican breakfast was with the ingredients. I was a big fan of how tender the pork was for the Egg Cochon. For drinks, we got their Ruby Colada mocktail ($6.00). It was really good, and the unique combo of beets and coconut actually blended well with each other. Overall, Ruby Slipper is a must try brunch spot in NOLA!

    The food is always great here, and I always forget they have this huge outdoor parking lot with some outdoor game space for children and adults. The temperature is comfortable and the service is fabulous. They even do separate checks and of course the food is not only delicious but affordable.

    Very friendly service, we were seated promptly and had a nice view of the giant backyard space. Food was fresh and hot and the eggs Benedict trifecta was awesome. Small gripes- the beignets were a bit too dry and tough, the peach pureé in the Bellini was too sweet, the fried green tomatoes were impossible to cut so I just ate it with my hands. Overall I do recommend Ruby Slipper!

    This breakfast gem is amazing. I enjoyed it so much we went back the next day for lunch with family. The chicken strips were delicious and seasoned . I ordered a salad with fried chicken and I enjoyed it. The coffee here is also great ! I wish we had this place near us in Schertz:Cibolo Texas

    Okay so I have visited several of the Ruby's locations including one of my favorites stashed away in Alabama. I have never visited this one and I'm kind of upset. It's very small not ideal for groups but definitely a girlfriend trip or a cute little couples outing. If breakfast and or brunch is your type of meal, because I'm a breakfast all day kind of girl. And bias to breakfast, and again I am upset because this place continues to exceed all my expectations for what some may consider basic meals. I mean I just can't explain the pancakes, I just can't lol. If you have a deep love for breakfast or brunch this place is flying way below the radar. Please don't put it on the map, because I want to continue eating in peace. How cheeky of that request as I'm making this review. Sometimes it's hard to share a good thing. But this place definitely checked off all the marks when it came down to quality, flavor, and service etc.

    Went with a friend from Arizona, and the food was great. Our server was very professional and courteous. The place was clean and neat as usual.

    Three Little Pigs Omelet
    Meagan L.

    Ruby Slipper is a citywide favorite for good reason. Always busy on weekends, so diners in the know make sure to join the waitlist before they leave home. On a recent Saturday brunch date, we had the pig candy appetizer, which features applewood smoked bacon and glazed with caramelized brown sugar. It's salty, it's savory, it's sweet, it's chewy, it's crunchy. It can't be beat! My hubby always goes with the three little pigs omelette: pork three ways cloaked in Swiss cheese. This trip, my FIL got a classic biscuits and gravy. I love the Benedicts, but it's so hard to choose just one. Luckily, they have the peacemaker! I went with eggs cochon and gulf shrimp. The gulf shrimp side had a fried green tomato, shrimp and Tasso in a red sauce, and was delicious. But the favorite was the eggs Cochon side with pulled pork and a cheesy hollandaise. The vanilla iced coffee was a nice treat too! They're dog friendly on the patio, and there's lawn games to entertain yourself. Even when the waitlist is long, the staff here keeps things moving quickly. Perfect for a family outing or a friend group brunch.

The staff kept things moving and were attentive throughout our meal. Taste: The menu is concise, which I liked, and there's truly something for everyone. I ordered the BBQ shrimp and grits, and it was hands down the best I've ever had. It was savory, flavorful, and very filling. My friend had the grits and egg bowl, which was also really good. The fresh juices were delicious and paired perfectly with brunch. Ambiance: The café has a lively brunch vibe and feels like a staple spot. It's casual, welcoming, and perfect for catching up with friends while enjoying a great meal. Overall Review: Two Chicks Café is affordable and absolutely worth the visit. Between the flavorful dishes and great brunch energy, it's a must-stop on your NOLA trip. I would definitely go back!!!

We checked into our nearby hotel a bit early in the day and was looking to hit the streets for a spot to get a chill/light breakfast, a coffee and maybe a cocktail. We found all the things at Luzianne Cafe. Whether you belly up to the bar or grab a table, both of which are first come first serve, you start at the counter where you order, pay and grab your table number. It appears that during busy times they allow you to sit first and order from the QR at your table, this is an assumption given the code to order at the table, but the sign at the entry directed folks to the counter to order before sitting. For breakfast, we got the breakfast biscuit which came with eggs, bacon and cheese, and sided it with grits. The breakfast sandwich was solid, eggs were a bit soft and grits were more mealy than we are used to, but I think that may be authenticity of the area more than anything. I opted for the three option omelet with onion, sausage and gouda plus a side of sausage links. The omelet, though odd sounding combination turned out to be solid. Maybe it was my options, but it was decently "one note" in flavor. I tossed a little hot sauce on and that helped. However, while the sausage links were not much to look at, they were tasty, with a nice snap to the casing and meaty inside. To go with our breakfast, I got a cold brew with a splash of almond milk while my partner embraced NOLA and started his day with a bourbon sour. Both of us enjoyed our choices! Service was friendly and helpful at the counter/bar. The food runner was nice and then another member, assuming the Manager, that stopped by to check on us mid meal. She was super friendly and nice. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and drinks at Luzianne. Minor things noted, mainly on the cook of the eggs, but nothing awful. It his the spot and checked the boxes!
