Very nice place. Located in the old Bank of Mobile building, this joint is very popular, although it originated from Mobile West, you may know it as New Orleans it has an Old Mobile feel to the place. I really love the breakfast menu. Eggs Benedicts abound. They are just what you'd expect to find offered on a Jazz Brunch Menu along the Gulf Coast. Everything I had was fantastic. There's so much here it's hard to know where one should begin. The coffee is really good, I believe I had a full pot. I'm sorry I didn't grab a bag before I left town. Maybe on future visits, I'll update my review with more details. read more

Awesome! What a delightful surprise to find the Ruby Slipper in Mobile as we were driving through and stopped for breakfast and during Mardi Gras!! The food, drinks, service were top notch. Had to get those Beignets, of course! There was a bit of a wait but expected and moved quickly. read more

Servers were all happy and nice. Food was absolutely to die for! I had fried green tomatoes (highly recommend) and the Blackstone eggs Benedict. The restaurant is inside of an old bank so the ambiance is very historic and there is plenty to look at while you wait. The wait, by the way, for the table and food were both reasonable. I love it here. read more

I'm from California and this was my first meal in Mobile!! I was in town visiting a friend and she said Ruby Slipper Café is a must have. The customer service was amazing and they really set off the southern charm for me. They were so kind and so sweet. I got myself loaded tots, fried chicken and toast bites, and a flight of mimosas! I'm not going to lie but I was not the biggest fan of the mimosa flight flavors. Watermelon wasn't that bad though. I think I'd stick with a classic orange next time! The loaded tots were amazing!! I shared them with my friend but next time I think I want a whole one for myself! Omg. I loved the fried chicken and toast bites. I am so used to chicken and waffles so the toast bites were an interesting delicious twist! I did like the sweet honey flavored fried chicken but at the same time I think it was a bit too sweet for me. I can't wait to come back! read more

The ruby slipper was so excellent. We went twice on our three day trip to Mobile. They were able to accommodate our large 17 person group split between two tables. They have an online waitlist that I would recommend joining before you plan on walking over as they don't take reservations. The weight staff was incredibly welcoming and accommodating, didn't rush us, but we're very attentive, and we never felt forgotten. The pumpkin beignets, French toast, omelettes, eggs pork and chicken Benedicts, and shrimp and grits were all incredible! I think the food is very reasonably priced. We also had the party pour of the Bellinis and those were very fresh as well! Must stop in for a great meal and service! Amazing southern hospitality , our server called me "honey" and she was so sweet. read more

Loved the location & interior! The service was great & the food was delightful! Loved my berry chantilly pancakes - just the right amount of sweet! The potatoes were also fabulous! This is the kind of brunch place where you want everything on the menu! Highly recommend! read more

After finally making it to Mobile we were looking for a good brunch to grab some food at, long behold we fold Ruby Slipper. This location in downtown Mobile and it's a gem. Very New Orleans type of style to the place, from their food menu to the drinks. Very impressed with the menu, had a plethora of options. My wife and I got the same meal, it was a special Nashville Hot Chicken egg Benedict. While I do not like egg Benedict's I opted to swap out that style for scrambled which they were willing to do, kudos to our server she was great and helpful. The dish itself was amazing, chicken was crispy on a fresh biscuit topped with arugula and their Nashville sauce, blended perfectly with the eggs, drooling thinking about this meal. Definitely a must stop place if you're ever in downtown Mobile. read more

Quick breakfast before conducting training in my Mobile Office. I sat at the bar. I only had about 25 minutes to order eat and walk to the office. Mission accomplished! I ordered the Chicken St. Charles Benny with a coffee. Filling and tasty breakfast and was served within 5 minutes of me ordering. I enjoyed the vibrant feeling of the restaurant and decor. Good place for a hearty breakfast. read more

Nice, cozy and clean Cafe with nice touches! Totally enjoyed our meals and friendly staff! We'll pass it on and be back soon! Thanks so much ! read more

The food was really good I had biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs and bacon which was 10/10. I would recommend coming just make sure you add yourself to the waitlist because they very busy on the weekends I went today which is Sunday. I also recommend the peaches and cream beignets but they're seasonal. They were fresh and hot tasted like they came right out the fryer and the beignets reminds me of an elevated peach cobbler. read more

First time at The Ruby Slipper. Overall experience was good. Came in early so there was available seating for one. Ordered the french toast bites, mimosa flight and the trifecta. Here's my take on each: - french toast bites: TO DIE FOR! They're amazing, crunchy, great taste, not overpowering - mimosa flight: too sweet for my liking, but a great way to start your brunch - trifecta (more like a eggs benedict flight): presentation, taste, but two of my eggs were hard boiled eggs hence the 4/5. Other than that, amazing spot to go if you're in Downtown Mobile. Service was great, the hostess and my waiter were super sweet and amazing. read more

Love this location in downtown Mobile. It was pretty busy for a Saturday brunch but we got seated quick and the server was really nice! She was attentive and recommended a few of their signature dishes. The carrot cake pancakes were to die for! The bacon was perfectly crispy and my mom loved her Florentine omelet; perfect sized, taste great, and was fluffy. I also had the Ruby mimosa which was perfect just for one. The creamy vanilla iced coffee was great as well. My friend said it was the best they had! read more

This is a restaurant that I really trust. It sounds weird to say it that way... but I can always get a good meal, with good/normal service, and good prices. We always enjoy ourselves and don't have to worry about anything. These days we just come here when we are in Mobile because it's consistently good with fair prices. read more

The overall feel of the place as displayed by the employees is very laid back, relaxed and not an extreme sense of urgency. We are part of a small conference group and arrived shortly after noon for lunch. There were 5 people in our party. The space is well decorated and gets good sunlight, has fun drink options, and good foot traffic so although it wasn't packed, they have a consistent stream of business. Terrance was our server who assumed we were waiting on another person for our group so he didn't greet the table for 10-15 minutes after we sat down. After he finally came over, he asked if we were waiting on another and we said no, so then he apologized and took our orders. Then we waited. Our server didn't check back in with us at all to let us know the status of our orders, but around 12:50p, I did ask if he had a status update. He said no, that he looked at the screen and saw that it had already been 20 minutes so he was hoping it came out soon, and also apologized because there were only two cooks on site at the moment. Right after that, our food was delivered by one of the managers who asked which conference we were with. He said they (the restaurant) are usually notified when there's a conference in town so they can be prepared. I had the cobb salad, which was just OK, but not good enough to stand out or make me want to order it again. 20% gratuity is automatically applied to your check, but that is not posted anywhere on the website nor on the menu. Some places implement the tip on parties of 4 or 5 or more, but they let you know. Here, the tip is automatically added, and the handheld gives you more tip options, but they don't tell you the tip is already added, so it's an unspoken way to get more tips from your tables. To me, wasn't worth it. Wasn't worth the wait and the food didn't make up for the wait, plus the untold added gratuity, I wouldn't return or suggest this place to others, but I also wouldnt stop them from trying it out. Others in my group enjoyed their meals and drinks but I'm only reviewing based on my experience. read more

A friend and I decided to try brunch here today. It wasn't her first visit but it was for me. I joined the waitlist through Yelp, and thank goodness I did! It was an estimated 45 - 1 hour, and it took every bit of the 1 hour wait before we were seated. We each ordered the holiday Gingerbread Latte drink-- hers iced and not boozy, mine hot and boozy. I chose rum as the liquor of choice, and when I tell you it was deliciously strong, I am not fibbing! She ordered the Biscuits & Gravy for her meal, and I ordered the Migas (no cilantro!) with shrimp added. I also got some breakfast potatoes on the side. The entree was wonderful, and while the potatoes had good flavor, they were a little soggy for my taste. I expected them to be a little crispy, and they weren't. Our server was wonderful! She was personable, attentive and courteous. I'm looking forward to coming back soon! read more

Great place for brunch. Try their eggs Benedict sampler. Register online for the waitlist.

I travel through Mobile quite a bit, and this is hands down the best for around. The venue itself is cute, clean, and ideally located right downtown. THE FOOD THO! I've had a lot of their items and never been disappointed. The sweet hot chicken with French toast bites will send you over the edge though. It's the perfect balance of sweet (with maple syrup and powdered sugar) and spicy (the hot honey glaze is *chefs kiss*). And I don't know what kind of sorcery southern voodoo makes their French toast bites so light and fluffy but also crispy... but holy crap it's amazing. You can also depend on great service, so this place is a MUST EAT while in Mobile! read more

The food is not that great. It has a very peculiar after taste. The atmosphere is very pleasant and the staff is friendly.

I've patronized the New Orleans locations for years but had no idea Alabama has a location! I was able to join the wait list and had 15 mins to check in with the host. We had the petal to the metal leaving the hotel. I had no idea it would be that fast. Just a reminder, the waitlist is not a reservation. It was for a party of 2 and walked right in, greeted and seated. There is street parking only. We ordered 2 Sparkling Wine Mimosa Flights, which are seasonal flavors with fresh juice. My favorite well I loved all of them, but one tasted like lavender! That one made my feet do the happy dance! The menu has so much of my favorites, but I'm trying to my weight. Now, mind your business because I ordered the Avocado Toast with Salmon plus the buttermilk pancakes and really wanted the Banana Foster French Toast. I like my yolk cooked, so I requested fried hard to compliment the texture of the bite. The salmon was fresh, lightly seasoned, and stacked high! The grain buttery toast was lightly toasted with just the right crunch. Not hard and not soggy. The pancakes are little heavenly clouds light in texture, buttery, moist to melt in your mouth, crunchy edges, and not too sweet. Now my hubby always keep it simple with old fashion and old school breakfast. Of course he loved everything especially them buttermilk Biscuits. read more

Disappointed. Disillusioned. Deceived. How is it possible for so many people to actually love Ruby Slipper Café? I can't figure it out for the life of me. This is one of those that I point blank disagree with the reviews. My experience with this chain was lackluster at best. Let me explain. I was dying to go eat there. Dying! Whether it be in Pensacola, Mobile, or New Orleans, a visit was eminent, and so, we visited the Mobile location on our road trip as it was walking distance from our hotel. We were there early enough that we beat the rush. From start to finish, I don't think we were there even 45 minutes. That should tell you something. Sigh, while the décor may be adorable and the staff generally is polite, the food is abysmal. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing, but then, maybe so did the person who went with me. We started with drinks. He had some apple juice and I had a cappuccino. The cappuccino was more reminiscent of a coffee milkshake than an actual coffee. It was foamy and weak and this couldn't even wake up a person requiring a small caffeine hit. To put it bluntly, we went to Starbucks after. As for food, he ordered from the à la carte menu. Specifically he had two eggs sunny side up, pork sausages, and breakfast potatoes. The eggs and sausages weren't properly heated and the potatoes were overcooked. I chose to try their signature gulf shrimp omelette, which came with breakfast potatoes and a biscuit. The omelette was under seasoned and just felt as if a bunch of ingredients were thrown in together and just barely cooked. The breakfast potatoes once again were overcooked. The only saving grace was the biscuit and its butter that wasn't butter. Seriously I think it had cinnamon in it? Oh, and did I mention the chairs were extremely uncomfortable and that we were freezing our butts off even with sweaters? Definitely not a fan. I struggled hard rating this restaurant and I think I'm being kind giving them two stars, but one-star reviews are for those never again places and I can't say I wouldn't give Ruby Slipper Café a second shot. read more

Bomb food. If you're looking for some good old southern cooking this is your place. Make sure you make a reservation because you could be waiting a while before you get in. We were lucky enough to find a spot at the bar, where the bartender greeted us with a smile and offered us one of their specialty drinks or just a cup of coffee. I ordered the biscuits and gravy which were fantastic. My wife ordered grits and buttermilk biscuit and bacon and eggs. The food was fantastic truly was southern cooking. read more

My daughter and I had breakfast together, and we couldn't have been more pleased. I used their online waitlist, which estimated our wait time to be seated at 20-30 minutes. Our drive to there location took us exactly 25 minutes, and we were ushered to a table as soon as we walked through the door. It couldn't have worked out better. We had zero wait time before we were seated. Our waitress wasted no time in getting to us and taking our orders. The food was delivered to us in a surprisingly short time, and it was evident that it was all freshly cooked, nothing pre-prepared. We both order the Sweet-Heat Fried Chicken on French Toast Bites and Strawberries. It was incredible. I don't remember the name of the appetizer we ordered, so I shall refer to it as Candied Bacon, because that's pretty much what it tasted like, a delicious way to prepare and serve bacon. I believe this visit was the third time that I have eaten at the Ruby Slipper, and I can still say that I haven't been disappointed yet read more
