My coworkers and I had a great experience at this location of Ruby Slipper! Our waiter, Chef, was helpful with menu suggestions and he did an amazing job bouncing between being helpful in the kitchen and being attentive to us as a group. The omelet was delicious and well seasoned. Who knew crème fraiche and salmon went together so well? The breakfast potatoes were crispy and delicious. I enjoyed the morning margarita but went back and tried the lavender Paloma which I enjoyed more! The modern diner style of the restaurant is very cute and inviting. This is an easy choice on a day that you're looking for a place with good breakfast options. read more

Ruby Slipper Midcity - Hot-Smoked Salmon Omelet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This was our first time visiting Ruby Slipper, it was an easy process getting on the waitlist and being seated as soon as we got there. It was pretty busy as it was deep Mardi Gras season but it took our server a long time to even acknowledge us. When she finally came and took our order, we had the trio Benedict and candied bacon. Bacon came out and it was ok...strips were really small but flavor was good. The tripping Benedict's were good too. I've was shrimp creole which I thought was the best one, only it was lukewarm...I think it would've been better if it was hot. The other 2 had pork and chicken on it. They were also good and those were warmer than the shrimp one. I'd go again to this spot and hope for better service!! read more

This is a must when in New Orleans. Delightful eatery when craving brunch style options. We were lucky to have come on the day when they had a special crawfish eggs Benedict. Talk about YUM! The fried green tomatoes were also a delicious hit! Don't forget to quench your thirst with cocktails. Of course the tequila Paloma was just perfect with this meal. read more

I can't really speak to the whole menu, we just ordered beignets and coffee to go, but the staff was friendly, the service was great, and the beignets were yummy (if a little small ;-) read more

I LOVE me some Ruby Slipper Cafe! Especially this location because it's so big and there is usually a limited wait. My go-to is the Peacemaker. Eggs Cochon is AMAZING! My second one I switch up each time to try something new. This time I got the bayou shrimp. It was okay, but I like the Chicken St. Charles the best. I was with a large group and we got a couple of appetizers. The fried green tomatoes (10/10), French toast bites (10/10). Highly recommend both! If you're in the area, GO! read more

The food was tasty and the service was great! I loved the cozy and comfy atmosphere. Next time I'm in the city, I'll definitely be back!

Everything about this place . We came here because our first brunch spot fell through and I'm so glad it did because we would have never found this gem. Even our Lyft driver said this was the best brunch. When we arrived it was no wait, we were immediately seated. Our waiter Lee was bomb! He had quite a few large parties at one time but he did great managing everything. We ordered the following: ~ French Toast Bites - soft on the inside and crisp on the out, sooo good! Tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch ~ Shrimp and Grits - we were originally thrown off by the sauce on the grits, we couldn't identify what the secret ingredient was but it was still good. The biscuit was bomb too. ~ Fried Chicken - fried to perfection! Plain and simple ~ Regular breakfast platter - delish! These were the best scrambled eggs I've had at a restaurant, hands down. The tomato was fried well too! And the tots?!?! ~ Mimosa Flights - we didn't know the flavors of any of them, but they were good and pretty to look at Overall, this spot is top tier and I'll be back for sure! Next time, I'm sitting outside so I can play the big chess board read more

Great customer service server really broke down the menu in detail. Food arrive fast and hot and the flavors were hitting all my taste buds. The chicken St. Charles is the most bang for your buck in gray flavor. Fried green tomato dish with bacon jam was good but Not enough bacon jam though. The green tomatoes aa fried just right. Nice and crisp but I wish I had more bacon jam to go with the green tomato. Over us a good experience and they're very consistent. read more

Really good. Great service. I had the bread pudding pancakes with white chocolate. It was really good.

Great atmosphere, friendly and timely service, amazing food. I searched for a creole breakfast spot on Yelp app and came across this place. There were some other options too but I chose this one. Glad I did. The best part of the experience was the seating and the parking. There is an entire parking lot for this restaurant which in and of itself is attractive. We chose to sit outside because the weather is absolutely beautiful today. There were so many enticing food options to choose from the server had to come back 3 times before we were ready to order. Food pics included. For me the Crawfish and Grit Cake Benny stole the show. We'll be back. read more

Ruby Slipper Midcity - Outdoor seating - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

The two trips we've taken to NO we were recommended Ruby Slipper. This last trip we realized there are more than one location so I had to search my previous Yelp check ins because we really liked this spot. After eating for several days and waking up late, we made it a point to stop by on our way out of NO. I ate so much this last trip that so couldn't eat any more at all. But it's Ruby Slipper and we were anticipating going here. My first trip, I ordered something I can't remember because it had one fried green tomato and that is all I can remember. It was that good. I never had one before and I felt like I had been missing out all my life. It is one of my favorite movies after all. This trip, I ordered the red and green fried green tomatoes with poached eggs and biscuit. I couldn't eat it all but I made my best effort and it did not disappoint. So delicious. My daughter orders the St. Charles chicken with scrambled eggs. She ate one and took the other on the road. We were both so stuffed from all the amazing food in New Orleans. Next time, we'll try to come here first. Wish they were open for dinner. I love breakfast/brunch any time. read more

The food , the drinks , the hostess and the server -Dianna is incredible! This is the best morning stop in New Orleans . A solid 10/10

Food is bland and tasteless and expensive do not order on DoorDash or uber eats food will be cold wet and soggy

We made reservations for a party of 9 ahead of time. They said they would have to split us 4-5 which was fine but once we got there they put us all together!!! They have a neat back area with seating and yard games so we actually played cornhole while we waited! It was swiftie weekend so it was quite busy. Our waitress definitely seemed stressed out. She said it would be easier if we did one check. Get it, but it made life annoying for our group later. She skipped a person for the drink order and then another one didn't even get her drink for almost an hour.... The food came out pretty quick tho and wasn't bad. Nothing amazing though. I was grateful they could seat our large group, and when the waitress didn't seem stressed she was really nice. read more

Arrived and was immediately seated for Brunch. Fifteen (15) minutes go by and no service at all. Sitting there lookin at a table to my left and another one across from us being attended to. Never once did anyone come over to offer service or take a drink order. After 3 minutes, to include me using the restroom, we left. Never again! Crazy part is the save gentleman who seated us with menus, would seat another party of 4 and brought them their drinks! How???? Trash Service on 27 July 2025. read more

If you're looking for a great meal....Please eat here! It is sooooo good! Every single time we eat here we walk away knowing it was worth every dollar and every calorie! Biscuits, pancakes and eggs Benedict dishes are signature items. Want something lighter? They have salads and fresh fruit! But you really can't go wrong with anything. Breakfast, Brunch or lunch... a great selection. read more

I have been to one of the Ruby Slipper locations in the French Quarter ( around the corner from the Sheraton on Canal) before and it was delicious. During my last visit on 10/20/24 me and some family members were recommended to go to the location on Broad Street. It is a stand alone restaurant with a nice patio and area out front to play cornhole. It also has its own parking lot (major plus). We were seated quickly and our server, Keshon, was great. She was both friendly and efficient. I had the shrimp omelet which came with grits and a buttermilk biscuit. Those grits were cooked to perfection and that biscuit was one of the best I've had in a very long time, as a lot of places make biscuits, but don't necessarily make GOOD biscuits. You also gotta try the candied bacon. They played good music, we enjoyed our meals and had great service. read more

OMG unexpectedly fabulous. Hunter was an excellent server, hot tea was perfect and the breakfast was sweet and savory. This place was busy. So, if you go ,arrive early or prepare to wait. They make it all fresh in house and the flavor shows. The chicken was perfectly breaded and cooked so well it was fork tender. The French toast bites were dusted with the perfect blend of cinnamon and sugar. Then they added the perfect heat! Yummy. Go, enjoy and let me know what you think. read more

Best location to brunch at every time you love to come here apparently a convenience of parking lot and a great green for the kids party. If you're looking for a good family brunch spot this Ruby slipper location is the answer! Staff are so nice and I always feel at home. read more

Food, staff, and service never disappoint!! Food is always consistent no matter what you order. Beignets are always a must. Will be back!

My first time here was about a year ago. It was super busy. The food was good but I was disappointed with the portions. The menu didn't seem to have changed much since that time. This time was a lot better. We were able to be seated as soon as we arrived. The staff was very accommodating. The portions were better too. We ordered beginets as a starter. They were actually very small in size. We also ordered the megas (an egg dish served over fried tortilla strips and a side of avocado slices), fried catfish and grits, shrimp and grits, a side order of chicken sausage, and a side biscuit. The biscuits are a good size but were very dry. The butter that was served with them made them better. The shrimp and grits would have been a much better presentation with several butterfly shrimp on top than the small shrimp mixed into the grits. We also had a couple of mocktails. All in all, the food was good. read more

Had to check this place out because it was highly recommended and it was my first stop once i got to the Airbnb. The place is very clean and nice with outdoor seating available as well as plenty of indoor. I opted to sit at the bar and ordered a watermelon pomegranate grande mimosa, recommended. I went with the peacemaker because you can combine any two bennies. I went with the st Charles and the shrimp Benny. The at Charles was good but needed a little hot sauce to kick it up a notch. The flavors on the shrimp were amazing and needed nothing extra. Make sure you get a to go drink because why not it's New Orleans after all ‍. The service wasn't bad either but it did take a little while initially to get my drink order placed. Outside of that a great experience read more

The service was in a great atmosphere, and the food was even better. It was made more convenient cause we were right across the street from our hotel, and we love their omelettes. The pancakes were wonderful. It was still a really good experience, and I loved going there. The biscuits are a little bit New Orleans style, hard on the outside, soft on the inside, and coming from the south, that was a little different. It was still a really good experience and I loved going there. read more

On Sunday we waited at the bar for 20 minutes. Not a hello, I'll be with you shortly or here's a menu. We watched others before us get waited on. Both heavy set ladies just couldn't be bothered. I tried twice to get their attention and I got the " I can't believe bothered look". We took our money and went somewhere that we were welcome. As a local business owner, I'm embarrassed for your establishment. read more

We waited for TWO HOURS after being told our wait would be 30-45 minutes once we were officially added to the list at the hostess stand. Worst part was the hostess told us we were next and we had 5 more minutes then 15 more minutes when we asked again about 40 minutes later and we heard her tell everyone who asked for an update the exact same thing as us and that they were next. At the two hour mark, I checked back in with her and she blatantly ignored me. I know you can't always control how long people stay at a table but our place "in line" kept getting pushed back when we would check the app so I recommend making sure the software actually works properly. I wouldn't have been so upset but we had a diabetic with us so giving more accurate updates could have prevented the issues they had after we left. When we were finally notified that our table was ready 2 hours and 15 minutes after getting on the list, we were immediately "taken off the list" before we made it back to the hostess stand so that is when we decided to leave. This experience makes me sad because we really liked coming here when our family comes in town and they were very excited about it but we will never come back if we can't trust the wait times given. I know this can't always be controlled but the hostess could have been a little kinder about it or even escalated the matter when we hit the two hour mark. read more

Food was delicious! We tried omelette, the Migos, Biscuits and Gravy, Berry chantilly pancakes, and french toast bites. My biscuits and gravy was a 9/10, with the a side order or fried chicken. read more

This isn't my first time at a Ruby Slipper but it's my first time at this particular location. It's also my boyfriend's first time in New Orleans and this was our first stop after leaving the airport. The ONLY con were the flies. We sat outside on the covered turf area and as soon as we got our food the flies were around us heavily. I think because they lurk around tables that haven't been cleared yet. Our server Monica was great. She was patient, attentive, and gave great recommendations. And we were there for a few hours while we waited to check in to our air bnb. I'd also like to s/o the bartender for our boozy breakfast. I love mimosas (with a heavier ratio of champagne to juice) and mine didn't disappoint. I enjoyed the mimosa flight....the apple pie and pomegranate lavender were my favorite LS. Kudosssss to the chef and all the kitchen staff. For the life of me I can't remember what I had the first time I had Ruby Slipper (it was yearssss ago) but I wasn't disappointed with my food at all. The shrimp and grits were so flavorful. But the bacon....y'all! Cooked to perfection, we had to order another side of it after our food came out. Also my boyfriend has his mind set on recreating the chicken he had in his dish. This location was great for couples, groups, and families. The bathrooms were clean and every staff I saw was masked. We'd give 10 stars if we could. read more

Delicious and worth it! Im from out of town and the price was worth the portion size and the flavor. The biscuits as well as the French toast were so yummy! Our server was very nice. I couldn't be happier with a seat in a place where breakfast/brunch was the main attraction. Happy brunching! read more

This is a must when you go to NOLA and there are several locations to choose from. Tip: reserve your spot in line on the way. Easy to do on their website. I struggled with my decision because there were so many choices. I picked perfectly. I went with the Crawfish Cakes Benedict served over fried green tomatoes, spinach, and corn. Amazing. I'd get it again if there wasn't more to explore. And another tip - you're not limited to poached eggs. I got mine over hard and it was done perfectly well. I'm just not a runny yolk kind of girl. read more
