Crystal made the best breakfast! The loaded tater tots are yummy and there is plenty of seating inside and also some outdoor areas.

It was busier than usual - the poor hostess was obviously dealing with a lot! That being said, always an amazing experience here! The manager checked on us several times. Amanda was our server and she was phenomenal! Just so sassy and so fun! The bloody Mary, the peach Bellini, the southern BLT! Do yourself a flavor and go right now! read more

Came on Labor Day weekend and waited over an hour for party of 6 which is to be expected. But we got our food quickly after ordering. Even with the amount of people the waitress was friendly and fast. We all were very happy with our order. Got the French toast bites for apps and they were absolutely immaculate. We all got something different and were happy. read more

A definite MEH We waited 40+ minutes, dripping sweat, despite joining the waitlist. We expected to be wowed with the food. And we were not. The beignets do not even taste like they should. Our waitress started out super strong. Hey I'm "A" and I'm here to take great care of you today! Every single interaction after that, she would literally turn around and start another conversation right in the middle of your sentence. Then whenever she got ready, she'd turn around and we had to start over. She was not just busy, she was rude. Oh and my food was cold on arrival, with burnt eggs. read more

Nice spot - it looks local inside even though they are basically a chain with over 20 locations. Portions were bountiful and pricing was competitive. My fried catfish and grits were very good. It was also served with a giant biscuit which I would've taken home to use for a sandwich but unfortunately it would've had to sit in the car for about six hours given our plans for the day. I would recommend a reservation to help with wait times - thankfully we had one. Overall a great spot for breakfast/brunch. read more

Great place to east breakfast. We went late in the season, and a little later in the morning, so there was zero wait which was awesome, server was friendly and just the right amount of time spent checking on uI had and omelet that was awesome, grits were good, Wife had French toast , was good but they did skimp on the powdered sugar. Only knock on the food was my biscuit was cold and hard, had so much other food wasn't worth sending it back. Oh yeah, sign up for the newsletter/updates, scored me a free pancake which was amazing, light fluffy and tasty! read more

Ruby Slipper Orange Beach - Beignets starter (includes 6) - Cafes Near Me - Orange Beach, Alabama

Recent business trip had just enough time to grab breakfast before going back . This place highly rated so stopped by. In a Friday morning. People waiting outside , people waiting inside . Looked to be about 3 total employees. After waiting at stand for someone's attention for about 15-18 min myself and the couple behind me left. No sure about food here but make sure you have all day to eat breakfast no one seemed concerned about the customer read more

Made it back - the food slipped more. The service was just okay and the venue was freezing with long pants and a sweatshirt on. Overall, we found ourselves asking why did we come back. I think this will be our last dining experience here. read more

We arrived a few minutes early which it wasn't packed. So that was good. The server was very nice and friendly. She helped make my decision easier although didn't care for the food. Not all what it was hyped up to be. I am sorry but the server was the only reason why we liked it. My husband ordered the classic biscuit and gravy bacon and eggs. Which was mediocre. Not enough gravy to cover the entire biscuit. So we ordered a side of gravy which was 2.00$ I ordered the the TRIFECTA "Taste of Ruby" featuring our signature egg benedicts: Cochon, Chicken St. Charles and Bayou Shrimp It was okay only. Weird taste combination. Just a different experience and flavors. I can tell you the establishment itself was dirty. The seats were sticky and trash all over the floors. I don't like to leave this type of review but I was excited to eat there and it was not what I was expecting. Hope it helps. The food "looked" good but just weird read more

They were very busy but the wait wasn't long. The service was great and the food was excellent. Another good breakfast spot in a town that doesn't have a ton of those. read more

We were heading somewhere else and decided to try Ruby slipper for our breakfast. (Keep going to the next place.) CLUE #1 the table next to us had a big family of good eaters. I could tell, when Lady left most of her whole plate. The older kids didn't even finish much on their plate at all. CLUE #2 The coffee wasn't that great, weak. CLUE #3 they brag about their homemade biscuits for years; I could barely cut the top with my knife. I got the sausage gravy, which was good with an egg on my biscuit. Pancakes were good, OK. Nothing to write home about with the Applewood bacon was also OK. Cold. Service was excellent!! This place is an old diner. Check out the photos. Cute not comfortable chairs. Very loud for breakfast! Not that great to eat in our opinion. Not much taste to the biscuits or pancakes. Not sure how it has 4 stars? read more

First time going. Food was great. Hearty servings. Served hot. Server, Krystal was excellent. We will be back.

Really good selection and service. Food was really good and came out quickly. Will definitely be back!

Wait wasn't too bad. Service and food were really good! Ruby Slipper never disappoints.

We came here, because there was no where else to go. When all along, we should've been coming here. It was absolutely amazing. To start, my bloody mary had pickled beans in it, that we're just out of this world. Then the biscuits!!!! I don't even like biscuits!But, the biscuits are out of this world delicious!!!!!! I've never ever in my life had such an amazing biscuit!!!! So basically, overall, everything here was incredible, including the service! We sat at the bar and Nate was the best. Now, next time, I will choose to come back here. read more

Ruby Slipper Orange Beach - Best bloody Mary with amazing pickled green beans! Don't knock it till you try it! - Cafes Near Me - Orange Beach, Alabama

We are locals. Tried this place years ago and did not like it. Decided to try again. Boy, was that a mistake. Should have known when a table of six got up to leave and most of their food was untouched. Coffee was luke warm. Food was not edible. $40+ for hubby and I and we didn't eat but a few bites of it. The only thing that was good was our server. She was working her butt off. Dont waste your hard earned money!! Never again! read more

Great brunch spot for my family, 7 adults and 2 children. We went for brunch on July 4th. Their Yelp refers parties of 9 or larger to call prior to arriving, we called and apparently they didn't need us to call. We joined the waitlist on Yelp on the way to the restaurant. Total wait time was about 1 hour around noon. Our waitress was super attentive and was on top of refills and such before we had to ask. The menu has plenty of yummy options to choose from with a Louisiana/Southern charm. I was especially happy the eggs benedict come on biscuits(i prefer my eggs benny this way!) The restaurant is known for serving its biscuits. Even the kids burger comes on a biscuit! I ordered breakfast potatoes and they came out before my food and were burnt and just warm. By the time my food came out they weren't warm anymore. Everyone enjoyed their food though it was pretty good! We ordered waters to hydrate before having a beach day and their water was obviously tap water but very nasty. The manager apologized and took 1 orange juice off our tab to make things right i guess. Overall the atmosphere of the restaurant was just OK.. We were sat under the air duct and it was leaking on us. read more

Not the experience we were hoping to have. We showed up and they told us it would be about half an hour wait, it ended up being closer to 40 minutes. (You can put your name on the list on Yelp ahead of time.) Our waitress was not very attentive. We had to flag her down a few times to get service. The food was mediocre, lacking seasoning in general and we had to wait almost 45 minutes for it. And the fries and potatoes came out about 5 minutes later. We ordered a chicken sandwich without pickles, but it came out without the sauce as well. The area around us was dirty. They have a practice for wiping the tables off but not sweeping the floor, there were scrambled eggs under our table, straws and wrappers everywhere, and crayon marks on the wall beside us, and the kitchen just looked messy walking by. The speed of the food may have been some bad luck with a few large groups in front of us. A large group of 7 was seated about 10 minutes before us and as we were getting up to leave, they just got their food. This will not be a repeat for us. read more

This was an overpriced and overhyped tourist trap. The food was OK, but extremely expensive for what it was. My Mom asked for mustard - at 11am on a Thursday, the waitress informed us they were out. Weird, ok. Service was slow and the restaurant was filthy. We were seated at a table with sticky floors and napkins and crayons thrown underneath. For what they charge, I expected a better experience. read more

Second trip this week and it did not disappoint. I went for the duo this time as the trio was so large (Bennie's). I tried the loaded tots and the sauce and bits of bacon were on point. My wife had the Mika or Misa. Can't remember exact name, but combination of flavors was very good. Also as a note we sat comfortably but close to another group of teenagers with one mom chaperone and even the picky girls were sharing bites and saying how good it was. The poor girl right next to me finally had to playfully tell them to "get their own" about her biscuits and gravy. Lol. I again would highly recommend a visit read more

Food was great and we got a seat in a very fair amount of time. Comfortable and good selection, friendly staff

Not sure how they are maintaining 4 stars, I like the look and style of the restaurant, but some things need changed. The chairs are not comfortable and the ducting was dripping on us as we were eating. Food was okay at best, my french toast was literally floating on my syrup, the banana was not the best I have had. Sausage was overcooked and all of the coffee options were not available (lattes, cappuccinos, etc.) Just drip available. Service was okay, could improve as well. read more

The food was just okay. My beignets were burnt so asked for another order.. average at best. My catfish was barely seasoned but fried nicely. The mimosa flight was okay. Not horrible just wouldn't come back. read more

Yummy breakfast! Candied Bacon and Beignets were Delicious! We will definitely come back on our next trip!

The Bennies are a must. We ordered a flight. It was excellent. Service was great. There is ample seating so no long waits.

Meal was fantastic just moist and really good. Had a shrimp omelette really good. The bloody Mary was also excellent recommended and Carson the waiter was very very good. Give them five stars. No Carson is very personable and just shared a lot of stories and made you feel comfortable like you're at friends's house read more

Our waiter, Carson, was fun and friendly and seemed to be knowledgeable about the menu. The location is within a shopping center across from beach access. The inside ambiance reminds me of a diner set up. The food seemed to be typical breakfast food but still good and fulfilling. read more

Fried green tomato blt. Ummm delish. I've eaten this in NO, same quality, same service. Recommend 100%. Reservations recommended.

Food was poor. French toast ordered with a couple strawberries thrown on top. Ordered a side of bacon and it came out as crumbled bacon. It was so overdone it wasn't even a solid piece Someone at our table ordered Blackstone Benedict. The egg literally rolled off the muffin. It was HARD BOILED. Never will we eat there again read more
