One of the stops on our donut and beignets tour. Nice hot beignet with lemon curd snd blueberries. It was tasty but not the best of all the ones we had. However, the menu board snd other food going by definitely intriguing to want to give this place a try outside of the tour. read more

We came here for brunch. The kitchen was behind so the waitress warned us early it would be slow. I got the vanilla iced coffee and it was delicious My husband and I got the same things: eggs, bacon, grits, fried green tomato, and a biscuit. The grits were just ok but the green tomato was pure deliciousness. The eggs (over medium) were cooked really well and the biscuit was as good as people tout it to be We sat outside and it was surprisingly comfortable. read more

This was my 2nd visit and it was better than last time. French toast was delicious and so was the vanilla spice latte. Parking was not bad for a St. Patrick's Day Monday. Only about a 5 min wait and service was good. Pancake portion was huge, enough for two people to share. I will definitely be back read more

Such a cute name and ambiance of a place! The fried green tomatoes were very good. We had our toppings on the side. Our meals were nothing too special. This was our least favorite meal in New Orleans. It was not bad but not very tasteful. We loaded up our meals with pepper. Our service was great. If you are looking for a really flavorful meal then I'd say keep looking. I'm surprised at the really high stars of a rating. Again, not bad but no flavor. read more

Amazingly satisfying and great food. The service was amazing giving the day after Mardi Gras. I enjoyed and will definitely come again when in town. read more

Delicious is a total understatement. We ordered the Sweet heat chicken bites, bread pudding pancakes, and a side of biscuits and we truly cannot decide what was best. I'd say the chicken and something sweet are a must try. The cocktails too of course. Our bartender was incredible, helping us through the menu and getting us service quickly even with how busy it was on a Saturday morning. read more

I love the food but Ruby Slipper but this is the worst location. They were pretty empty on the weekday morning we went but the service was still slow. Our drinks tasted watered down. The food was great but everything else was subpar compared to what I have grown to expect from Ruby Slipper. read more

Service was the only highlight of this place. Not a big fan of the noisy warehouse ambiance but the food was the real letdown. Basic and staple dishes missed the mark by a mile. Oily and soggy potatoes, lumpy fries, dry biscuits ... list goes on. Disappointing :( Service - 4/5 Food - 2/5 Ambiance- 2/5 read more

So good we had to come here twice!! If you love brunch this is the place to come. Everything we had was amazing. I love that you can get a duo Bennie so you can try 2 flavors in one. The shrimp and grits was the best I ever had here in NO. The biscuits and gravy were some of the best I've had anywhere. All the different pancakes were so light fluffy and flavorful. Even on a Saturday when it was busy we had great service and once a short 35 mins wait. I love the atmosphere very clean and welcoming. I'm a huge wizard of Oz fan so of course I got myself a shirt. If your looks for the best brunch in town this is definitely the place to go!! read more

We came in to town for a graduation ceremony banquet (medical). We kept passing by the Ruby slipper. But decided to look it up just in case we needed a reservation. Saw Ruby Slipper, "CBD". (it was 4 of us). We thought, hmmmm, very strange "CBD!" (Keep in mind, we are from California) so instead of calling, we walked right up. The young lady at the front said how many, I said 4, but we don't have all of our party on-site. The young lady said have you been here before, we said no, I was very curiously asked, ummm! We looked you up and it said "CBD", She smiled and said yes, I said, you put it in everything? She actually said yes, but only pulling my leg and said CBD is Central Business District. Oh wow she got us. Thanks for the laugh. Our party arrived and we were seated. We had French toast bites, Piggy bacon bites (pairs perfect together) eat them like a lil sandwich delish, we had the fried green tomatoes, they were very well dressed, loaded! Absolutely delicious, there was fish and grits, and shrimp and grits, the were Smooth and creamy, the fish and the shrimp cooked to perfection. The Bloody Mary's are very good. and I can't forget the service was A1. They didnt miss a beat. Loved it!. When in the area, take a stroll to the Ruby slipper Uptown. You will not be disappointed. Lol! Don't ask for the CBD! If you don't know California is legal for cannabis, and CBD is the chemical compound in cannabis. read more

If you are near the Ruby Slipper you have to stop in for brunch! Our rental was right by the Ruby Slipper and we are so happy we chose to stop by. The food was amazing (I had the hot honey chicken biscuit) but everyone in our group loved the food and drinks! The wait went by really quick and we were sat promptly. Our server Katlyn was amazing! Super attentive and so nice! Overall I would highly recommend stopping by! read more

Just had breakfast there with my niece. We both thought we had great service with Claire, our server. The poached eggs were cooked just right and she had a salmon and avocado dish that she thought was delicious. We look forward to returning for another meal. read more

I have added this to my list of NOLA stops when visiting. This place has grits, the type one does not get in California. Pro tip: make sure you pay for parking in the adjacent lot (the free parking is for another restaurant) to avoid an unpleasant surprise upon return to your vehicle. read more

It will come up in recommendations whenever you look up places in Nola for good brunch. It was not bad but i believe a little over rated. Our service was great and food was ok too. Can try some southern favs here. Place gets really busy so be prepared for wait time if going without reservations. Do try their egg benedicts, they are not only good-they have many options too. read more

The only place we went in New Orleans we weren't all that impressed with, but it was more the service we were disappointed with than the food. When we came in it wasn't all that busy, maybe about half the tables full. We were seated quickly and that's where our good service ended tbh. We sat for over ten minutes before the host finally came back and took our drink order and probably another five before we met our waitress. She had us order everything in one go (app, entrees, and drinks), brought our drinks, and then didn't come back until after we had our entrees. We probably saw her a total of three times the entire meal and each she was very brusque with us. When we were done eating we had to wait another fifteen until she brought our check. Idk if they were just super understaffed or what, but this just wasn't great. For the food, we got the French toast bites - pretty good but not great. I got a creamy vanilla latte, which WAS very good, probably my favorite thing. I did a Benedict flight, the crawfish one and the pork cochan one. I definitely loved the pork one but found the crawfish one bland. My husband got the biscuits and gravy and he liked it but said the gravy could've used more flavor. GREAT biscuits though! I'd give this place another chance, maybe one of the other locations. read more

While vacationing in NOLA, we had a Garden District Tour scheduled for 10:00 AM with the meeting location at a SBX on Magazine Street. Lucky for us, the Ruby Slipper was right across the street! We easily got a table for 6 inside and were accommodated to a different table once we realized we were right under the AC and it was freezing in there! Our waitress moved us and then arranged to take our table and switch with the waiter assigned to that section. We started with cocktails and lattes. Then tried the Fried Green Tomatoes that were very tasty. The Bananas Foster French Toast was incredible. It was New Orleans style cooked with rum-flambeed bananas and raisins. Served with bacon, it was the perfect breakfast while on vacation. Great service and amazing breakfast. Yummers! read more

Great restaurant that we visited before we toured the Garden District. We got seated right away and they were very accommodating for our party of 10. The food was delicious and everyone left full. read more

The food's always amazing, and the drinks are spot on. Our server really knew their stuff and gave us some great recommendations.

This was a great experience! We got there at about 10 on a Sunday and had to wait for a while even though I put myself in on the wait list online. So even though you check in online, make sure that they have it because you might end up waiting a lot longer than you planned. Very busy but overall a great atmosphere! I had the benedict that was pretty standard while my friends have the different variations of eggs benedict. We all thoroughly enjoyed it! Everything was just very fresh and very good. Someone had the bananas foster pancakes which tasted so delicious! Overall this was just a great place in the neighborhood to get breakfast and I would highly recommend it! Definitely going to return next time I'm in the area and eat some breakfast with some good friends. read more

Lady friend & I came here because the other one on magazine street was chockablock (maximum capacity and some). It's a real nice spot inside & out. Well decorated. The staff is very nice and very friendly, server stayed and chatted for a little while after we were done. There's many many menu items that sound appetizing but you can't get them all at once. The French toast bites were A-1, everything about them and the syrup was great. The loaded tots with pork and bacon was also incredibly good! Then I had the breakfast sandwich, with chicken sausage. I was not crazy for the chicken sausage...I didn't realize they had regular sausage. If it weren't for that, this whole visit would have been perfect, it was already just about perfect but the chicken sausage threw me all off. Otherwise, the biscuit was good and the shredded pepperjack cheese was a great addition. French fries and scrambled eggs lacked seasoning but no biggie at all. Girlfriend said the grits were amazing, said that that was the best breakfast she'd had in a while so there's that. A fried green tomato, over medium egg. I definitely enjoyed my meal and appetizers, despite the sausage. I also had a Coke and rum, the bill was like $55 or something, so I can't really complain about that price. I would definitely recommend this spot as I've been hearing for years that it was good and finally saw for myself. read more

Frankly, I haven't even tried the food yet. I'm just irritated that they left my grits out of the bag so I had to go back. Before this they gave me the bag, with the syrup I asked for spilled all over the bottom. mind you this happened before they even gave it to me, so I know that they saw it. When I walked in, they were rude. It wasn't a hello.... I said hello. They just stared at me however, when I had to go back to the grits, the ladies were super super sweet and super nice so maybe they just didn't see me / hear me however the folks in the back knew what they were doing, and I don't appreciate it I'm still wiping syrup from everything .... And now? I DONT HAVE SYRUP. read more

Ruby Slipper Uptown - Classic Breakfast Sandwich - Cafes Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Haven't been to a Ruby Slipper in a few years, so was interested to see how it is not that it has expanded so much. Went with four others. Pros: Food was very good, we got two omelets, two benedicts, a breakfast sandwich, and a pancake on the side. We all ate, no alcohol, for about $100 before tip, which is very reasonable for New Orleans. No wait, the restaurant was almost empty at 8:15 am. Cons: They tried to seat five of us at a four top, even though the restaurant was empty. The table was also dirty. They eventually moved us when we asked for another table. The waitress spilled coffee at our table, did not come back with more napkins or come clean it up. Another waiter spilled gravy all over the floor behind my 80 year old parents, never cleaned it up or warned my parents about slipping on it. Spill was still there 30 minutes later when we left. The water for the tea was cold. When my mom asked it be taken off the bill because the water was never hot, the waitress said they were having a problem with the hot water machine. To me, this says the waitress knew she was brining cold water, never mentioned it or fixed it, and waited for us to say something before she did anything. Summary: Good food and value but horrible service and not cleaning up at least three obvious messes. Probably will not return. read more

This restaurant was recommended by locals so we have it a try while in town. We started off with the beignets, which were pretty tasty. We had their seasonal peach flavored ones but we're disappointed because they were out of the ones we originally ordered. Hubby had the breakfast tacos which he liked. I had the salmon omelet. I wasn't too fond of it but the biscuit and grits were really good. Overall the food and my specialty coffee were good. The waitress was young and inexperienced, so our service was not the best. She took forever just to get our order in, didn't come back to check in us after our food came (delivered by someone else) , and we kept having to flag her down to ask for refills on hubby's coffee. Overall the place was ok. The bathroom was also out of paper towels and the floor was grossly sticky. I would be willing to go back if I was in town again or give their other location a try. read more

A qualified recommendation: Had the "hot" Salmon Avocado toast. Toast was warm, but everything else was fresh from the refrigerator, including the "hot" salmon and the poached egg. So it was cooked ahead of time, stored in the fridge, then assembled and served. My wife liked her Eggs Florentine and cappuccino. My coffee was also good. Server started off poorly when they walked away when I said I was ready to order after my wife. In sum, good coffee and Eggs Florentine. Not so much the rest. read more

When the family is in town, the Ruby Slipper, Uptown, is our go-to breakfast or brunch. Gets us ready for the trek up and down Magazine Street, and exploring the Irish Channel. I have eaten at several Ruby Slipper locations (there are what, seven, now?), but Ruby Slipper, Uptown, is our favorite. The service is always fast, family friendly and accommodating, which is very helpful when dining with a toddler (Special Thanks to Miah C, you made our experience a success!) The table ordered Southern Breakfasts ($12.75), Three Little Pig Omelettes ($14.24), and Classic Buttermilk Pancakes ($4.25) on the side. Talk about a delicious way to prepare for the day. I always appreciate the spacing between the tables, clean restrooms, and the full bar and reoccurring drink specials - today, it's a Flight of Margaritas. (Hey, it's New Orleans, the sun is ALWAYS over the yard arm :) . The Ruby Slipper, Uptown, a very well deserved Four Stars. read more

Classic brunch. Consistently adequate. Fairly priced. Quick service. Great environment.

I have been waiting for my food for over an hour. This is the worst Ruby Slipper location. It's a mistake to come here.

We travel to NOLA several times a year and we always stop at Ruby Slipper on Magazine. The Banana Foster French Toast is unbelievable and the Eggs Benedict sampler is perfect for the undecided. Definitely treat yourself to the Bloody Mary. The vibe of Ruby Slipper is upbeat, vibrant, and friendly. I can use the same description for our server from Michigan - she made our breakfast experience so fun and memorable. Five+ stars for the server, food, and atmosphere! read more
