The staff here is truly as good as it gets. Every visit we're greeted by a friendly, smiling group of ladies who somehow remember our family--even though we only vacation here a few times a year. That level of personal service always makes us feel so welcome and appreciated. The food and drinks are consistently great as well, but honestly, we'd keep coming back for the service alone. Highly recommend read more

We came for brunch prior to the Sandestine Wine Festival. My friends come every year, and this is part of their itinerary. They don't take reservations, so we put our name on the wait list. We started at #21 and by the way our shuttle got there from the time share we had moved up to #5. It's a happening spot so I suggest you do the same. When we were finally seated we had a nice spot outside to people watch while we ate. It was a beautiful day so that spot was perfect. The menu has a lot to offer, but OF COURSE, we started with drinks. Two ordered the peach bellini, one ordered the whipped pineapple mimosa, and I had the Lavender Paloma. The Lavender Paloma was different. It hinted of lavender, not too sweet and I couldn't taste the liquor, but I definitely felt it after awhile. Then we ordered brunch. I'm an eggs benedict fan, so I ordered the Trifecta, which was a combination of three different styles of egg benedict: Cochon, Chicken St. Charles and Bayou Shrimp. All three were quite tasty. My partner ordered a side salad that she was raving over (spring mix w/tomato and champagne vinagrette). We also had fried green tomatoes which were perfect, French toast bites, and an egg platter with potatoes and bacon. Everybody enjoyed their meals and drinks. I'm sure if we lived in the area, we'd go back. read more

The service was inattentive. Beignets were bad. They were like fried chunks of doughy bread with powder sugar. We had two Southern Breakfasts. The fried tomatoes were inedible. Quite a bit of grease for just two pieces of bacon. The plate was covered with it. The breakfast potatoes were the premade frozen type. There were squirrels at the front entry and climbing all over the outdoor furniture and we all know what they leave on the furniture. We over heard an employee say they feed the squirrels potatoes. They should be discouraging not encouraging the squirrels. We do not recommend this place. read more

First experience was amazing, our server was awesome , we tried the fried green tomatoes, they were fried to perfection and I had the catfish and grits. The icing on the cake was that they had happy hour, the mimosas and sangrias were amazing! This was so good and that we went back the following day- was not the same experience, they tried to give me a plate of burnt bacon, so burnt that it was dark brown, I asked for more and they told me it would be 15 min..... didn't matter how long it took, I didn't want burnt up bacon, the tomatoes weren't the same- they were soggy and horrible, sangrias were still amazing! I tried the st Charles Benedict and there's one with shrimp, the st Charles was amazing but lacked flavor on chicken, and there's shrimp Benedict was not good, the sauce was a little weird, overall I would return for happy hour drinks and the catfish and grits! When it came down to getting my bill the second day, my ticket was one price then changed significantly when the server returned and she couldn't explain why........ read more

Service, absolutely on point. Food, amazing!! Ambiance, peaceful. A hidden gem from the hustle and bustle of a busy tourist town read more

As a "bennie" myself i ordered the trifecta. 3 of the most popular eggs Benedict. The fried chicken was my favorite, second the shrimp with fried green tomato. Then the pork. Added some crystals hot sauce and it was perfect. Amber seemed to be the only waitress but she stayed on top of everything and provided great service. Very pleasant even though staying busy. read more

We had a really friendly server and the location is great because it's in the wharf shopping area so you can enjoy the patio. We enjoyed the beignets but the French toast bites were too crunchy and fried. read more

The wait was completely wrong and understated. Was actually moved down the waiting list when we got close to the top, even while tables sat empty. read more

Very good serving size. The restaurant is located in a super cute plaza and it's decorated super nice on the inside. Tried the chicken beignets the only thing I could say is that they're a little oily but not too bad overall read more

Absolutely amazing experience at Ruby Slipper Cafe! Our waitress, Maddie, was exceptional--friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcomed from the moment we sat down. She truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. And the food... WOW. The salmon avocado toast is hands down my favorite--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every bite was delicious! If you're in Baytown, this spot is a must. Great service, amazing food, good music, and an all-around fantastic vibe. I'll definitely be back! read more

Very busy spot! Loved the area but building itself was very crowded. Food was yummy of course read more

My girlfriend and I walked in Thursday morning and were greeted by Lisa, who is an absolute gem ! Turns out she was called in to work last minute this morning ‍, but she took care of us and other patrons like a champ . Her high energy and smile made for a pleasant early morning interaction. Her service was excellent and the food was classic yummy breakfast food. My girlfriend particularly liked the "homey" feel brought on by having the coffee creamer in little individual metal pitchers and the jam in small dishes rather than packets. The prices are very reasonable, the establishment was clean, and the coffee was hot and tasty! read more

Your typical brunch eatery that has plenty of options for all breakfast picky eaters. Super slow during the holidays but that just means no wait! Pancakes were great as they had a light sear, lattes also delish. Had the bacon biscuit sammich, biscuits a bit on the doughy side of taste and could definitely be more buttery. The trifecta did live up to it's hype of you like bennies! read more

Tucked away in the heart of the adorably festive Baytowne Wharf in Destin, The Ruby Slipper Café is the perfect spot to kick off your morning with Southern comfort and charm. Surrounded by cobblestone paths, candy-colored buildings, and waterfront views, the area feels like a little hidden gem straight out of a postcard -- cheerful, cozy, and full of personality. I started with a Watermelon Lemonade Mocktail that was soo refreshing. Adding Vodka or Prosecco to it would make it amazingly better. Now onto the food -- I ordered the Pick Two Bennie Special, and let me just say: not a single bite was left behind. I went with the Traditional Bacon Bennie and the Chicken St. Charles Bennie, and both were rich, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The bacon was smoky and crisp, layered under a perfectly poached egg and silky hollandaise. The chicken bennie was equally impressive -- golden-fried chicken breast with just the right amount of seasoning, topped with a creamy sauce that tied it all together. The poached eggs was cooked to perfection! And then there was the Bananas Foster French Toast -- dessert for breakfast in the best way possible. It was decadent without being too sweet, with caramelized bananas melting over thick, buttery slices of toast. A true New Orleans-style indulgence. Our Waiter Chase was warm and welcoming, and the overall vibe matched the playful elegance of the village around it. Funny thing, my kids are Chase and Tre and our waiter was Chase and brother name was Tre. If you're in the Baytowne area and craving a brunch that hits all the right notes -- The Ruby Slipper Café is an absolute must. read more

I got the shrimp & grits, which were phenomenal. The others with me got the Costa Rica breakfast (also amazing & clean feeling), and the Spanish Omelette. The only complaint would be the greasiness of the omelette, but the flavor is still good. This restaurant is located in Baytown, which is such a cute, fun area. They seem to stay busy but offer great service as well. Jessica was very sweet and attentive. read more

So glad we found this place for brunch today. The online waitlist was not working so we put our name in when we arrived. We were told 20-25 and we would get a text. 30 minutes later we checked with the host and he said the text went out but we didn't receive it. No worries though, as he seated us right away outside on the patio. Our waitress came to us quick and got our drink orders. I had the Bacon Bloody Mary which came with a slice of bacon and pickled green beans garnish. My wife got the Ruby Mimosa, both were very good. We got the Pig Candy Bacon Bites, which was 5-6 half slices of candied bacon. Delicious! If more than 2 people I would do a double order of these. For our meals I got the Trifecta and my wife got the Southern Breakfast. Our daughter got the pancakes and scrambled eggs. All of them were large portions. The food arrived hot and not a long wait. We will definitely be back. read more

Great brunch spot with outside dinning options. Very family friendly with good children's menu. Best pancakes in the area

Wonderful service and food. We have the trifecta for breakfast and it was just wonderful. Our server was delightful and very helpful. We would definitely go back. read more

Been here a few times over the years and I must say that the Ruby Slipper is getting closer to a default breakfast joint in the Sandestin area. We've plenty of First Watch and Another Broken Egg back home, so we look for local spots whenever we visit the panhandle (or anywhere) since we frequent so much. After another go-to has apparently rebranded and died for all practical purposes for us (RIP Sunset Café), we're looking for a go-to. Is the Ruby Slipper that spot? Maybe. As far as the food goes, they're solid all around. - The cinnamon toast bites are a great app start Over the years I've had the gulf shrimp omlete, the Spanish omlete, and the build-your-own version as well. They're all very good. I've had the shrimp and grits and breakfast tacos, both also pretty flavorful and sit in my B/B+ tier. There's plenty for the kiddos as well and perhaps (unrelated) maybe if I try more of their morning cocktails this will move to the top of my go-to breakfast spot. Service was expedient and attentive this Sunday morning so that was appreciated. I would recommend getting waitlisted over walk-ins unless you're confident of your timing. read more

Fast, clean, great food and service! This place is about $10-$22 per person / plate. Plenty of space and fast. I came during brunch hours (11:30-1p). There was no wait but the rush was departing. Coffee from French Truck Coffee was fresh but don't expect ground coffee. Great place for kids and a very small 5 seater bar for adults who want to get in and out. Nothing takes long and they also have outdoor patio seating. There is a "Village Fee " of 2% just like all surrounding placing on Baytowne Square. This place originated from New Orleans, Louisiana and is a staple there too. Must try! Consistent recipes. read more

Food reliable but just not worth the money. Great atmosphere though and good service

i cook at bunkleys burger and grill and i got to baytown early so i desided to eat breakfast here and the food was good don't get me wrong but i got the white chocolate bread pudding pancakes and it had a straw wrapper in it and that means my food should be a semi priority. no. it took 20 to 30 minutes until they brought it out and i was still waiting on my eggs after getting the pancakesand on top of that we had piss poor service. we desided to sit outside and simply got 2 waters a dr. pepper to drink and we are only empty on drinks and our server is literally at the table beside us petting a dog and we get her attention to get refills and we ask to pay. we wait 10 minutes and nothing so we go inside to pay to look for her for and ask abt her she is pcling up another table. i end up leaving my pancakes at the restaurant and get it taken off the ticket read more

Came here Memorial Day weekend for an early breakfast before heading to the beach. We were able to join the waitlist through Yelp before arriving so that helped with the wait time. Our server started off pretty good but kind of forgot about us towards the end and we had to grab her attention. The food was delicious. I had the Peacemaker Benedict which let's you choose 2 different types of bendicts. I chose the fried chicken and the shrimp, both were really good. Our food was so good that we decided to go back the next day for breakfast read more

Delicious breakfast and great outdoor seating in the heart of baytown wharf. We had an omelet, pancakes and biscuits sandwhich. Everything was wonderful and the biscuits were worth the hype. The butter that comes with the biscuit is chef's kiss! Service was good, not great. They messed up the omelet order and seemed a little offput when I mentioned it. Otherwise, everything was great! read more

We stopped in for breakfast before the rush. The food was great, we sat outside on a beautiful morning just after the hurricane. Service was good, and drinks were equally as good. Would definitely recommend. Great New Orleans style food. read more

Food never disappoints. French toast bites have always been a staple for me. They are perfection. Tried the Migas this time. I went back 2 days later! Wow! I ordered extra avocado. Lindsey D was our waitress this morning. Personable, fun, hustler. Saw her working Saturday and she was hustling then as a food runner for others, as well as her own tables! Amaretto coffee was amazing! read more

Best food, great service, and such a friendly atmosphere! We absolutely love this place. Ruby Slipper is the best!!

Long wait. Poor service if sitting at the bar. Seemed either understaffed or mismanaged. We left after sitting at bar and no greeting. read more

We ordered the fried green tomatoes for a starter, which were delicious as always, I ordered the bread pudding pancakes, they were good but not as good as before. A little too sweet for me. Our server was phenomenal, she was upbeat, always nearby and never allowed our water glass to get below half full. It was very busy inside and outside, but was not loud at all. Great little spot for brunch! read more

The food was standard breakfast fare. Service on Sunday felt chaotic, If we had had a table outside, it would have been more pleasant. It was LOUD where we sat and conversation was impossible. read more

My husband and I were here on vacation. Twice on seperate mornings we decided to walk down to the Slipper to grab a quick breakfast. The first morning after being seated, we noticed that the table and menus were sticky. It was from leftover cream that had not been wiped up. No problem. Husband went and asked for a damp towel so that HE could wipe down the table. Not only did the waitress seem bothered by his question, but gave him a dry towel to wipe it himself. We let it go. 2nd morning, we decided to walk down to grab something to go. Soon as we walked to the bar, waitress acted like we were bothering her. Didn't greet us, didn't smile. Just took our order like we just ruined her morning. While waiting,my husband walked back to the garage to grab his car as I stayed behind to receive our order. When it was ready, the bag was slid to me abruptly without a word from the waitress. When I looked up, I said "Oh! Thank you" Waitress responded with a "mmm hmmm" . Unacceptable behavior. If you don't like dealing with the public, you're in the wrong business. Will never go back and will not recommend! read more

This was a mediocre at best experience. Food was ok felt like a Bob Evans. The restaurant was clean but way understaffed.

We never actually made it to the restaurant, but the menu and view looked awesome. However, the rent a cops at the front gate will not allow motorcycles on the property at all. Even to pass through to the restaurant. They may want to work on their restrictions in the future, or put a disclaimer on the restaurants main page. read more

Ruby Slippee Cafe hasn't been open to long, but in the coming weeks and months I definitely suggest doing the join waitlist to save yourself time waiting in line for a table. Ruby Slipper is located in Sandestin in the wharf. Perfect location to eat outside and enjoy the sun while dining with your friends. i would say must haves are the French toast bites. The portion size is a good size to share w a group of 4. We also got the beignets which were good, but I would lean towards to the French toast bites if you were choosing between the two. I order the migas which is pretty much like chilaquiles. I would say this was a little difficult to eat with a for since they use tortilla strips instead of the entire chip. Still very good and got mine with shrimp on it. Still very good and would get again. read more

We ordered take out from here through the website, biked to the beach and had a wonderful breakfast. My eggs Benedict with bacon were delicious and I appreciated how they separated the hollandaise sauce so it didn't get soggy in transit. The eggs were perfectly poached and slightly runny, just the way I asked for them. I wanted to try so many things from the menu but I will just have to return another time! read more
