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

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

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.

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

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

Service was good, food was delivered quickly and everything was delicious. One of my favorite places for breakfast. It never disappoints.

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

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

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

Wait staff not friendly.... Food was not that great.... I would suggest someplace else.. not worth the money

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

The food was decent. I order food that was cooked and still came out lukewarm. 3 thin slices of Avocado are 2$. The rest of the experience was good, the Bloody Mary was fantastic and spicy. The atmosphere was pleasant, great views and nice music. read more

Excellent customer service and delicious, unique menu items with a NOLA flair. Indoor and outdoor eating options.

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

Brunch is one of my wife's favorite meals. This place has some of the best brunch food I've had. The drinks are fantastic and the service can't be beat. The restaurant itself has a great OB vibe. My wife had the classic French toast and I had the peacemaker which is a combo of 2 of their egg Benedict plates...mine was a great combo of bayou shrimp and St. Charles chicken. Both really yummie. I had the bacon Bloody Mary and my wife a mimosa both really tasty. read more

Ruby Slipper Orange Beach - Mimosa and Bacon Bloodymary - Cafes Near Me - Orange Beach, Alabama

We come here any time we stay in Gulf Shores because they consistently have delicious breakfast foods, a full bar (bloody Mary's and mimosas) and the option for indoor or outdoor seating. The staff are always kind and knowledgeable about their menu. It can get pretty busy on weekends and late mornings during the week so plan ahead if you're going in with a group so you don't have an extended wait. read more

I'll preface this review by saying I've eaten at several Ruby Slipper locations: Pensacola, New Orleans, and now Orange Beach. Orange Beach was the best overall experience out of the 3. Great meal. Little to no wait. Service was okay, you can tell she was busy and preoccupied. Not a deal breaker. My husband loved the Bloody Mary. We got an appetizer of the fried green tomatoes--they were so good. Even my fairly picky 7 year old loved them. My daughter got the cinnamon swirl pancakes and ate every bite. My son and husband both ordered the St Charles Chicken Eggs Benedict and they both were extremely happy with it. I ordered the Migas, which is my first time trying the dish, and I LOVED it. My only regret is that I didn't photograph the food to share with you here. read more

Flying solo there was no wait time for me as I sat at the bar. The young man and lady attending the bar provided good service. My bloody mary had just the right amount of spiceness. I ordered biscuits and gravy. It comes with bacon amd eggs ( I got fried), and I ordered pork link sausages to go with it. It's been four hours since I ate, and yes I'm still full. Vacation breakfast is the best. Go big or go home. The bacon, eggs, and sausage links were yummy. Unfortunately, my biscuits were cold, and there was not enough gravy on top. I could tell the biscuits were some of the oldest cooked--yeah for the customers who got the fresh biscuits! I asked for extra gravy, which helped the biscuits out a bit but not enough for me to eat much more of them. I will go back in the future. Old biscuits do not ruin the overall experience. I'll try something else on the menu! read more

We had another amazing brunch at Ruby Slipper with the friendliest server, Brittany J. I think she has eyes in the back of her head as we never waited for anything and she made great suggestions including the seasonal berry beignets, which were light, airy and just the right amount of sweet. My husband and I always split a savory selection followed by splitting what I've termed "Breakfast Dessert". Shrimp Cortez Benedict's followed by pineapple upside down pancakes made a wonderful brunch pairing. Both dishes did not disappoint and we barely finished, the portions are very generous. All of our selections todays were from the seasonal summer menu, so definitely try these before they're gone! All were delicious! read more

BJ (Brittany J) absolutely made our dining experience! She had the best recommendations. We came in with a party of 6 with 2 little ones and she was accommodating and attentive. She convinced me to get out of my "Basic" breakfast mentality and try the Banana Fosters Pancakes... Changed my life. Will return soonest! read more

My best friend and I came here for brunch and man was it delicious!! We added ourselves to the waitlist on Yelp which was a great idea because we walked right in and we're sat despite the line outside! We started with blood orange mimosas- strong and tasty! We also had the French toast bites which were really tasty and crunchy. I had the eggs Benedict with shrimp- cooked to perfection! A nice runny egg with flavorful shrimp. I also ordered a side of chicken sausage and loaded potatoes. Yum! My best friend had the shrimp and grits which were also really flavorful and delicious as well. I definitely recommend this place! read more
