Ruby flight
Walter B.

Maybe it was our fault for showing up around 1 p.m. on a Sunday. We walked in and got seated right away, which was a nice surprise. Service was friendly, but that's where things started to slow down. We waited quite a while for our Ruby Flight, then waited even longer for our food. Long story short, be prepared to spend some time here. The food was decent but the place also had a bit of an odor that was hard to ignore. If you're only in town for a short trip and trying to make the most of your meals, I'd probably try somewhere else.

The rude hostesses
Sonja H.

The food was solid, and the service--especially from Marissa--was excellent. Unfortunately, the experience at the front was a different story. The two hostesses were noticeably rude and dismissive from the moment we arrived. I greeted them with a friendly good morning and received no response, not even a smile. They were also on their phones. Although there was no visible waitlist, we were told it would be a 45-minute wait. Meanwhile, an open table that fit our party sat in plain view, and we still ended up waiting over 30 minutes. Their attitude made it feel like they didn't care whether we stayed or left, which was surprising and disappointing. The photo below are the unwelcoming committee

Fried Green Tomatoes Starter
Maureen B.

We're looking for a brunch place and this spot came up. For me it was OK and I forgot to take a picture of my Florentine omelette. My husband said the fried green tomatoes he liked, but the beignets were overcooked. They did remake them for us, but they were still just OK. We also got grits, which are not pictured here and those were tasty. Overall, this place was just OK for me but definitely give it a try for yourself. Weight staff was extremely friendly and attentive. The overall vibe here is welcoming.

The Egg on my Eggs Cochon Benedict was very overcooked
Liz W.

I've been here a few times. The food is pretty good. Servers and staff are friendly. Today we ordered the candied bacon, Cochon benny and the Chicken St. Charles benny. The candied bacon is always amazing, crispy, coated in brown sugar - I will always order this. Naturally we shared half and half. I liked the chicken one better, while my husband preferred the pork. Chicken was fried crispy and delicious. Pork was flavorful and juicy. I love the hollandaise sauces on both. My only complaint would be that my poached egg was very overcooked - not even a soft boil - pretty much hard boiled. Luckily I love eggs cooked all ways, but it wasn't the same. My husband's eggs were also overcooked. Anyways, I enjoy coming here for the quick casual vibes.

Hot Pumpkin latte
Lindsey B.

The Ruby Slipper, in a great relaxing neighborhood would be a miss if you didn't step in for a brunch. I was excited to see that there is more than two locations of this restaurant! It's a neat place where you feel like you are a New Orlean'ian local yourself. I recommend trying the pancakes. Had a couple of small orders on today's visit. The Halloween decor and relaxing ambiance helped calm some of the busy later for our day. The pumpkin latte and a simple bowl of grits made an easy brunch. We also purchased a red coffee cup!!

Overcooked Chicken St Charles
Patricia E.

Friday morning early breakfast with husband. Parked in pay lot next door and walked into a restaurant with a couple of small tables seated and a large table with about 10 women. Took a minute to be greeted. This isn't our first visit (not sure where my first review went, which was a 5-star), but it was our last. There appeared to be confusion over who was handling our table. Ordered the usual drinks: husband coffee & OJ, me a virgin Bloody Mary. Now the latter they do great - not the same price as a regular Bloody Mary - they adjust it to $5.50 for the no alcohol - thank you. It didn't have all the usual trimmings, which was a bit disappointing. Ordered husband's usual: Chicken St. Charles Benedict - and I went a la carte with a side of breakfast potatoes and chicken sausage patties. I was a little taken aback by the $3.50 portion of potatoes I received (see picture); seems like it was more when it came with a meal. I asked for ketchup for the potatoes, which were cooled off by the time it was received. I was even more taken aback by the incorrect temperature of my husband's poached eggs. He wouldn't send it back because by the time he pointed it out, he had eaten it anyway (see picture) because he was hungry. (The food had taken a minute to come out.) The final straw was waiting on someone to bring the check and overhearing a server complain to another server that no one asked her if they could open her f****** section. We paid, left, and concurred we'd have to find another place to eat breakfast.

After a New Orleans kind of night out, my friends and I were in desperate need of a nosh, and we rightfully chose the Ruby Slipper to come back to this dimension. Haha. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was warm, inviting, and just what you want when you're trying to bring yourself back to life after a long night. Our server was amazing! She was friendly, attentive, and had great recommendations that really made the experience. The food was everything you'd want from brunch: comforting, flavorful, and satisfying enough to completely reset us for the day. If you're in NOLA, do yourself a favor and make this a stop. The Ruby Slipper has the kind of energy that makes you feel both rejuvenated and right at home.

Menu

It's pretty chill. The vibes were definitely lit tho. The food if I was to rate it I'd give it a 7.5/10 Was not too crazy about the food tho. I was satisfied but I'm not raving about it. The service was a 10/10.

The Trifecta
Juliana S.

Word to the wise: come early!!! This is pretty much the case at all Ruby Slipper locations, but definitely at this location. It's bus accessible, or walkable, or you can park in the street no problem. There are no reservations and it's popular for large groups, so the earlier you go the better. The wait will grow. BUT the food is delicious. There are so many great options to choose from that you REALLY need to go a few times to try them all. I highly recommend the Benedicts. Our server did a great job given how busy they get, and I really love that they have mix n match options for the different Benedicts. A menu after my indecisive heart! The drinks are also very pleasant. I had a great Bloody Mary during this visit, but I normally swear by the Irish coffee. It's loud and lively, but a super reliable choice for brunch in New Orleans!

Bananas Foster French Toast
Paul C.

Ruby Slipper on Magazine has a brunch the just hits. The Creamy Vanilla Iced Coffee is basically dessert with a caffeine alibi, the French Toast Bites are sugary little clouds of joy, the Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes taste like a cinnamon roll crashed Mardi Gras, and the Bananas Foster French Toast is full-on breakfast theater A must try Powdered sugar everywhere, happiness guaranteed.

Bloody Mary
Kaitlyn L.

Ruby Slipper is a fantastic place to get some brunch, when you're not in a rush. Weekends seem to be busy, esp with Mardi Gras weekend, and their waitlist had a consistent 20+ number of parties on the Yelp waitlist throughout the morning and afternoon. Our food took about 45 minutes to come out (for a party of 5) and we were starvingggg watching everyone else eat around us. The biscuits here were a highlight - Came with a sweet butter that was so delicious on a warm biscuit. Fried chicken sandwich (don't forget the hot honey!) plus the seasoned fries were wonderful and I would get my own next time. Pancakes were moist and filling. Trifecta was FILLING. Shrimp & grits were the only dish lacking IMO: shrimp was cooked perfectly, but the grits had no flavor at all. Overall it's quite loud inside with so many patrons, the servers were nice and prompt with requests after our food came, just make sure you join the Yelp waitlist... It was nearly 1.5 hours with how popular they are, and the additional half hour min. for fresh breakfast to get to your table.

A nice assortment of cocktails.
Fred M.

I love the Ruby Slipper! I've been to this location several times but none of the other locations. My wife has been to several locations; and the one in the French Quarter is her favorite, but she likes this location a lot too. They have an extensive menu, and you can't go wrong with any of it. But, if you are looking for a recommendation: I would suggest the Peacemaker. The Peacemaker is mixing and matching any two of their variations on Eggs Benedict. My two favorites are probably Chicken St. Charles and Eggs Cochon. I should also mention their Award Winning Bloody Mary is excellent. Oh, and my wife likes the Mimosa Flight. Service is friendly and professional. Decor is cheery. Prices are reasonable. If you happen to be looking for a great breakfast and a relaxed vibe, I recommend the Ruby Slipper!

Linzie R.

Very good food! Although my French toast bites were more on the crispy side so if that's your thing then you're all set! Not the fastest service that was one downfall.

spanish omelet (sub fruit in place of the grits)

Still a New Orleans Gem - Visitor since 2018!…read more I'm updating my review as of April 2026 because it's important for visitors to know that The Vintage has absolutely "still got it." My last review was in 2020, and I'm happy to report that the quality and atmosphere remain top notch. Whether you are looking for a morning pick up or an evening wind-down, this spot covers all the bases. Their beignets and coffee are a classic must have, and I can personally vouch for their Americano. It is consistently well made and delicious. They also have a great selection of beer and cocktails if you're looking for something a bit stronger. What really sets this place apart, though, is the hospitality. We have always had great interactions with the staff, but a special shout out goes to Jimmy, whom we met this past week. He was incredibly kind and hospitable, truly making us feel right at home. Jimmy if you are reading this, THANK YOU!! If you want a spot that feels authentic, welcoming, and consistently excellent, put The Vintage at the top of your list!

Cute cafe! l love the decor. The furniture is very cute & standout ottoman piano did look vintage…read more This is a walk up & order at the bar venue Your are given a number to your table. The menu has many choices. I ordered the firecracker shrimp with side arugula salad. The shrimp was yummy the salad too but expected more on the salad maybe cucumber or tomatoes over all for just having cheese on Arugula with dressing was ok. I paired it with the shrimp and it was tasty! According to the hop on/off bus the beignets & champagne are the hit at this cafe. The bartender made a wonderful cocktail with champagne & it was delicious! The spot is dog friendly & in a cute little restaurant/bar row & shops area.

There's a lot of hype around cafe du monde for good reason...I actually came to this location twice…read moreduring my 4 day trip in New Orleans because the beignets here are THAT good. While you're here, I'd say that the cafe au lait is also worth trying. I noticed that the lines tend to be longer in the morning but there was little to no wait at night time. Service is mixed--some workers are really friendly while others seem rushed and are a bit harsher. It is a casual spot and you can pretty much grab any open table to be seated. One thing to note is that it is cash only. Overall, I'd highly recommend this location of cafe du monde!

Anyone who says that Café du Monde is overhyped has not been here! This place was phenomenal!…read more For reference, my only experience with beignets before this was at Disneyland, and everyone told me I had to try Café du Monde. I was a little confused when I first walked up, as there isn't a place to order. You simply sit at an empty table and a server comes to take your order. The beignets were warm, crispy, and covered in powdered sugar. It's hard to explain what they even tasted like because they were just that incredible. I ended up getting them again the next day--I genuinely want to make another trip out here just to have them again. Be aware that it's in a heavily tourist-filled area, but besides that, I loved this spot and will definitely be back the next time I'm in New Orleans!

I recently had a business meeting at Mr. Wolf Espresso, tucked inside the Contemporary Arts Center…read morein New Orleans, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The vibes here are unbeatable - a perfect blend of modern, artistic ambiance with nods to New Orleans' rich cultural heritage, making it feel like more than just a coffee shop; it's like sipping your latte in an inspiring gallery space. The natural light, sleek design, and subtle artistic touches created such a productive yet relaxed atmosphere for our discussion. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome right away with their warm smiles and spot-on recommendations. Everything about the service was top-notch - efficient without feeling rushed, and genuinely engaging. I went for the brown sugar iced latte, which tasted just like a delicious coffee cake, and paired it with a fresh pastry that was flaky and flavorful. They even have unique offerings like bottled cold brew for on-the-go, and as a Black-owned spot with a focus on community and creativity (they've got books and art integrations too!), it stands out in a city full of great cafes. If you're looking for a unique place to meet, work, or just unwind, Mr. Wolf is a must-visit. Great place for vibes, focus & overall damn good coffee.

Not sure what others see…read more $5! for just an espresso and wasn't served with sparkling water or presented fancy. They use torani syrups and no house made anything. Would expect better quality for the price. Boring. Beans are from Michigan so not local but the shot was balanced and nutty. Bathrooms are part of the rest of building and not nice. The decor is ok and place is small.
