I decided to stop here on my way to the beach. I live in New Orleans, so I frequent Ruby Slipper pretty often for brunch. Nothing about this experience blew me away. It wasn't bad but it wasn't amazing. The server was super nice, but other than that, I could've skipped the food and drinks. I tried their seasonal blueberry margarita, and honestly, it was too thick and syrupy. I had to pour water in it to thin it out and drink it. The fried green tomatoes didn't taste like much. Their breakfast wasn't great either. read more

Great waitstaff, fast getting food, great iced tea. Don't get the hamburger. Lacked flavor. French fries and French toast were good.

Morgan was our waitress and she was great. The food was typical breakfast food. Service was pretty quick and not busy when we went.

Great breakfast place! The food was absolutely fantastic and fun for breakfast. All the employees are super nice and fast. We got the Chantilly Berry pancakes (outstanding) biscuits and gravy - yum! This place was a perfect brunch! read more

First timers to Orange Beach and the Ruby Slipper Cafe and it was amazing. The biscuits and gravy were killer, the Eggs Cochon was delicious but the Banana French Toast was the winner. Valerie was so wonderful to serve us and helped us order all the best food!! Get on the waitlist early! This place is busy! read more

Ruby Slipper Orange Beach - Eggs Cochon - Cafes Near Me - Orange Beach, Alabama

We are visiting from out of state, in doing research - this spot was suggested as a must go-to in several posts. We tried it out one morning, it was good, not great, but good. We were sat immediately but our waiter told us the normal wait is over an hour. I would have been much more disappointed if we waited an hour, that is way too long of a wait. The fried green tomato, french toast bites, and biscuits & gravy were good. read more

I have been here before and I am pretty disappointed. We wasted half of our time here, which we could have used by sitting on the beach. We thought it would be a quick run-in and get some breakfast, but it took about 1 hour to even get a table for 3, and the food was not worth it. The food was not bad, but it was certainly not amazing. I don't think I would come here again, the Brocken egg around the corner is mush faster. I am editing this again because we just left the restaurant. We got an omelet and pancake and they charged us $44. The actual price was about $25. We came into the restaurant at 9:30 and we are now leaving at 11:50. We sat down at a table around 11:20. This was outrageous. read more

Oh my gosh this place was worth the wait! Thanks to yelp for letting us join the waitlist because if not we would've waited for awhile. We ended up sitting at the bar which was just fine. The staff was very friendly and we started out with mimosas. They were a little pricey but when you see the size it makes since! The peach was my favorite. My husband went with pecan banana waffles and basically scarfed it down in no time. I had eggs Benedict with grilled tomatoes and bacon and it was amazing. I didn't give it five stars because my eggs were way over cooked and it was too busy to try and send them back. Overall great experience! We will go again in Homewood! read more

Pancakes was good. Pigs in blanket was good. Server was spot on. Ordered crispy bacon - it was delicious read more

The food was not as expected. The omelet my husband got seemed over cooked, the shrimp & grits were terrible. Very "soupy" with pure grease as a layer as well. We sat at the bar - nice bartenders, but felt forgotten once we ordered a drink- had to ask to place our breakfast order. The restaurant itself was vibrant and bright with crowds waiting. read more

Hard biscuits and slow service on a slow off-season Monday morning. Only received one small sausage patty with the pancake order. Very interesting menu, but probably won't return. read more

Not the best breakfast spot but it's pretty good. The tots were filling and enough for my meal. The mimosas were interesting.

This place was great! When we got there is was a pretty long wait, they told us about. 45 minutes, and it was right at about 40 mints when we got in! So they was very accurate on the timing. There menu was fantastic and had all kind of choices to pick from! They also had a mimosa flight that was awesome! Food was incredible and service was spot on! Even with the crowd the service was great ! Ask for Karysn when you go, she is the best ! Highly recommend if you are looking for a great place for breakfast, brunch or lunch! read more

We have been loyal customers for years, but a year or so ago we started to see some changes and not for the better. The food is mediocre and the service lax. Last year we visited and received hard, overcooked biscuits (normally huge, light and fluffy) and an indifferent server. We decided to try again thinking perhaps it was a fluke (everyone has a bad day now and then). Today's experience has pretty much sealed the deal for us to try someplace else. The server was seen taking our order and dropping off drinks then never again until she flew by asking if everything was good and didn't even stop to get a response. She spent most of her time with another table and only stopped long enough to give us our ticket. Here's where it got weird. When our food came, my husband was served a hard, dry pancake that appeared to have stayed far too long under a heat lamp, so we waited and waited for the server to come over to ask for a fresh one. She never came. I took it up to the kitchen area where a nice young man took it for me and very quickly brought a replacement. HE received the good tip because it wasn't even his table. The server was right behind me the whole time I was standing there with the plate and didn't say a word because she was too busy chatting with the other table. So, no, we won't be back, though I will really miss the way things were back in the day when they treated you like you were their very first customer and they would do anything to make your visit perfect. The food was insanely good and we left feeling like we couldn't wait to return. Those days appear to be over. read more

Ruby Slipper for breakfast was very good. I had GULF SHRIMP OMELET. Gulf shrimp, red onion, and cheddar cheese served with creamy stone-ground grits and a buttermilk biscuit. Shrimp were big and tasted fresh. The biscuit with honey butter was so good. Both tasted homemade. The grits were very creamy and I only added butter to them. I don't normally eat a lot for breakfast but I ate it all since the food was so good and fresh. My son had the kids pancakes and bacon. He said the pancakes were the best pancakes he has ever had! They were very tasty and I was impressed it was two pancakes with a slice a bacon. My 10 yr old couldn't finish the last pancake. My server Sam was amazing! Her service was amazing! Always brought refills, checked on us and was very friendly!! I would definitely go back again to Ruby Slippers. read more

Great breakfast brunch spot. Extremely busy long waits. Beignets seasonal touches, bacon on bloody Mary's, full bar. Large yummy portions. Have eaten here multiple times. Will continue to come. Good on point. Servers work hard. Parking can be issue downtown. read more

Just went to this spot with a group of friends this past weekend and it was great! I chose the peacemaker option for Benedicts and the fried chicken one was my favorite. The food was very fresh too. I also tried one of my friends breakfast tacos which were super delicious. I also had a delicious iced latte and chocolate milk which you can't go wrong with! The service is outstanding too! Anna was our server and she was on it! She was also so personable and friendly which we appreciated. Thanks Anna for a great experience! Highly recommend this spot to anyone visit Orange Beach! read more

Brittany was our server. She was awesome. The food was great, the service was better. A certain do again place to dine when in the area.

Love the rebuild story of Ruby Slipper. I'm always rooting for an underdog. Staffing for not adequate for when we went at breakfast. There seemed to be confusion as to who would wait on us, since we sat there for 10 minutes before anyone made a decision. Pig Candy was super sweet and delicious. Just wish there was more of a serving size. BBQ shrimp and grits were very good! I had no issues cleaning the whole bowl. Don't expect the Migas to be like you might get in Texas. My wife said something was "off" but couldn't put her finger on it. I think it might have been with the tortillas used in the migas. I would go back once they are able to staff up the restaurant. read more

Signed up for the 45 min wait. Arrived at the restaurant and waited in the car with the kids due to the waiting area being full to capacity. With the app displaying 5 mins to seating we went inside. Checked in with the "hostess" and was informed that our wait would be 45 min to an hour and that the app was not accurate. I explained that we already waited the 45 mins and was told "sweetie you should read the paragraph below". Condescending and extremely rude. My wife came behind me and the hostess said let me guess you are the wife? Didn't bother with anymore small talk just left the restaurant. We ended up going to the sunliner diner and I have to say I'm glad the ruby slipper was a fail as the ladder was so much better. If you are a fan of a dressed up IHOP and rude staff then the ruby slipper is for you. read more

One of the best brunch places. Mimosas are great, so is the boozy coffee. Everything I've tried on the brunch menu is delicious. If there's one in the area and I want brunch, this is always my go to! read more

All the food was phenomenal and the service was even better, the atmosphere was also great.

I would not recommend the French toast bites the ones we had were really hard and not eatable. The breakfast tacos were good. The service was ok at best, We had a party of 8 that included two small kids and was hit with a 20% gratuity and I think that's why we had poor service. Waitress knew she already had her tip. Just stinks day one of vacation and already ruled this place out for the week. read more

10/24/21: Hubby ordered the Peacemaker and he had chicken and corned beef hash for his. He said it "was just good" not roll eyes back. Also said that the dish was "basically" cold - the hash was disappointing because it is premixed beef to potatoes, and admittedly by our great Server, Danny, they are lite on beef and heavy on potatoes. They did credit us on our bill because my Hubby thought there would be more beef. Mine, on the other hand (I got the Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes w/link sausage rather than bacon) was AMAZING! If I had to be picky I would say 1 of the 2 links was overcooked, but the rest was divine! The pancakes are served with syrup and they are "thirsty" pancakes and sop up the syrup like a champ! Yummy!! I ordered a small French toast bites for Mom and they look tasty too! We'll be back to try more! Note: upon arriving (at 12:35pm) they told us it would be 45 min wait and it was only 15 min - they may say that to discourage those from waiting.... ‍ read more
