Breakfast potatoes COLD, & HARD. The breakfast sandwich good, but all eggs. All could've been hotter. Service was fine, didn't get a refill until the end of my meal. The spice coffee was amazing! Wait was 15 minutes so not terrible! read more

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

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

Everything was delicious! This is my 4th time going to the Ruby Slipper and I'll definitely be back again.

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 - Biscuits with gravy!!! The BEST ever!! Bloody Mary so spicy and yummy. Side of sweet hot chicken...que Bella!! We will be back again soon!! - Cafes Near Me - Orange Beach, Alabama

Great food! Great service! Roomy and clean environment with quick service! We enjoyed it.

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

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

Just moved to the area & is my favorite place for breakfast/lunch! Everything is delicious but my fave is the bananas foster French toast! I came here today for breakfast & my waitress, Kelly, was by far the best waitress that had ever waited on me....so nice, friendly & she treated my puppy like a little princess! I definitely recommend eating here & sit out on the patio if you can! read more

Great food and service. Crystal was super sweet!

Amazing restaurant! The food was delicious. The service was impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff. We will be back.

The food was mediocre and very expensive. The restaurant was crowded and loud. The server was very good.

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

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

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

Amazing food and great service! Our waitress Brittany was so nice! The chicken St. Charles is amazing!!

Return visit. We were here last year and loved it. Back again for the Salmon Omelet, this time I remembered to grab a picture. It was a good as I remembered. Support your local businesses! We can't lose places like this! read more

Food was fair, but employees were rude. Came in a bit before 1:30 and had to wait a few minutes before we were greeted or seated (and only about two tables of people in the restaurant). Once seated, at least three employees walked by blatantly checking their watches. Not once did they smile or act friendly, including the guy who seated us. The only one who was remotely friendly was a server who appeared to be in training with our server. We did not feel welcomed and if it was because it was nearing closing, just say you can't seat people after a certain time. We could have been out before 2 had we been seated timely or orders/drinks taken when seated (walked out at 2:10). I had looked forward to this visit due to the positive reviews but I will not ever go back after this, was disappointed. read more

Ruby Slipper Orange Beach - Food or residue at the top of all our cups. - Cafes Near Me - Orange Beach, Alabama

Where do I begin.... this breakfast nearly ruined our vacation. This establishment is the worst place I've eaten in this world. Our waitress was the most cavalier, uninterested and lackluster in the history of restaurants. Her non-chalant attitude towards our order and concerns with our order, including improperly prepared drinks and food that was ice cold was almost too much to bear. This restaurant has so much potential. It is grossly hindered by unsavory wait staff and personnel. The only good thing about this restaurant is that the manager substantially reduced our bill, once we expressed our discontent with him. That was the only pleasant part of our visit. If I could give any advice, it would be to go the mcdonalds, the wait is shorter and the food is hot. read more

Right of the main drag in Orange Beach , you'll find Ruby Slipper Cafe. When you walk in your greated with a smile. There are plenty of adult beverages like mimosa or others to start your day off right. The menu has plenty of good old-fashioned southern breakfast. read more

Trifecta was amazing and very glad we got their early on Saturday morning. By the time we left there was a line out the door.

Anna and Peter at the bar were great. Highly recommend. Would give 10 stars if I could.

Best breakfast restaurant I have ever been to. The Benedicts and every single item on the menu are amazing. The servers are very nice. The ambiance is very good as well. read more

After such a good experience in New Orleans, we decided to repeat and yes, we opted for the specials, which were very tasty (except for the bland, watery grits, but that was just an unnecessary extra). In short, everything was very tasty. Overall we would go back. Long wait, little attention to detail, somewhat chaotic rooms, very noisy, poorly served rates or coffee (cloudy and with grounds), and while the beignet had a similar presentation, it was a different flavor, lukewarm, not crisp at all. read more

Fantastic! Get in line before it opens! Shrimp and grits were incredible. Beignets were as terrific as well as the pancakes and bacon!

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

I'm giving this 3 stars because we while we were sat almost immediately, the iced coffee was yummy, our waitress and overall ambiance were good, my food was lackluster at best. I got the you pick two eggs Benedict option - one shrimp and one chicken. Both were so tough/hard and dry. I only got two tiny little rubbery shrimp on my shrimp eggs Benedict and my son stole one... so one for me. The chicken was also tough as were the biscuits. It was like everything had been left under a heat rack for way too long! I'd give this place another shot, but I won't get the eggs Benedict or biscuits again. read more

This place was crazy busy and rightly so because it was delicious. I sat at the bar because I was by myself for breakfast and that poor bartender was being run ragged making and serving all the drinks and food pretty much by herself. She was friendly but but did not really have time to watch over so many guests by herself. I don't fault her for that but she definitely could've used another pair of hands. My coffee was empty for 10 minutes and I asked for a water when she came to refill the coffee and that took another 10 minutes. She did stop to apologize in between but everybody was trying to get her attention at once. She did a heroic job the best she could. I got a build your own omelette that was very tasty. The country potatoes were pretty good, fluffy on the inside, I could've done with a little more crunchy on the outside. The only part of the meal I didn't super care for was the coffee. It was overly roasted and extra bitter as a result. I would go back here again without a second thought. I'm interested to try some of the other things on their menu. They definitely put a high standard on their food. read more

I can't not speak highly enough about this place. From Valerie our waitress, to the amazing drinks, and food. Looked the place up before our visit. And it did not disappoint. Get there early because it is worth it. read more

Ruby Slipper Orange Beach - Bloody Mary with bacon vodka. - Cafes Near Me - Orange Beach, Alabama

We have been to Ruby Slipper in New Orleans several times and were so excited to see there is one in Orange Beach! I stuck to my favorite the banana foster french toast and so glad that I did! It was amazing and the bacon it comes with was perfect. My husband wanted to try the flight of mimosas and I would just stick to the regular ones. You can join the waitlist on Yelp during the busy hours to highly recommend you do that so you don't have to wait a long time. read more

We were so hopeful we could find a great new place for breakfast at Orange Beach. We started iut with an hour wait. Once we were seates we waited another 20 min for the server to come over. After ordering, we waited another one hr for our food, only to get cold food. We all ordered coffee and never got refills on coffee or Drinks. We are so disappointed. This restaurant has so much potential but fell short because of the waitstaff. read more

Ruby Slipper does not take reservations, but luckily I was able to put my name in through the No Wait App to reserve a spot in line. The No Wait App was such a life saver too. By the time we got to the restaurant, we only had 10 min. of wait time left. We spent good use of those 10 min at the bar. I started off with an iced Irish coffee that was super good. It was blended altogether so well that I couldn't taste the whiskey. After we sat down, my second drink was the Bloody Mary with bacon infused vodka that is made in-house. It was one of the best Bloody Marys I've had in a while. The maitre d asked what preference we had in seating. We requested to sit outside, and the restaurant was able to accommodate with no problem. Ruby Slipper did a great job of keeping the outdoor deck cool with the mist and fans. The humidity felt tolerable. The food was fantastic. I got to try several things off the menu. My friend and I swapped halves of the shrimp boogaloo Benedict and corn beef Benedict. Both were very good, although I preferred the shrimp boogaloo more. The shrimp boogaloo had a rich, tomato-based sauce, and it didn't skimp on the shrimp. The corn beef was not nearly as memorable but still was tasty and savory. I had a bite of the fried chicken on the St. Charles Benedict, and it was perfectly crispy yet moist in the center. Admittedly I should've gotten the St. Charles! Lastly, we got the stuffed French toast to share among our party. It was so delicious! The French toast was made with brioche bread, and the highlights were sweet cream and blueberry compote. From customer service to food/drinks, the Ruby Slipper was all around excellent. Shout out to our waitress (I think her name was Tamara), who was so sweet and very attentive. I highly recommend it for brunch to anyone visiting the Gulf Shores/Orange Beach, AL. read more

What I'd recommend if you wanted to give Ruby Slipper a try: - Use yelp to put your name on the waitlist 1h-1h30m before your visit or else you'd have to wait a gazillion years for a table. - Order the shrimp and grits! :) I ordered the shrimp and grits and it's the best I have ever had. It's full of flavor. I felt very comforted when I was eating it. My partner ordered the trifecta and it wasn't warm. The fried green tomato and shrimp didn't taste fresh :( We still enjoyed our experience granted we were ravenous after our road trip + our server was cool. Had we visited Ruby Slipper when we weren't so hungry I think we would feel a little let down considering how Ruby Slipper is on the pricier side of brunch spots. read more

Absolutely excellent. There's a few times when breakfast becomes better than any other meal of the day and this place is one of them. I absolutely love it. Great service. The only thing I'd change is the fact it's always super crowded and theres always a wait. That's not Ruby Slipper's fault - that just shows ya how good it is. Just be prepared for a wait. read more

We have gone to the Ruby Slipper in several cities and always have a good experience. We went twice to this location on our vacation this weekend. Special shout-out to Karson. Karson was our server on both occasions. She was awesome! Attentive, sweet, fun - she is the reason my daughter requested to come back a second time! The food was delicious. Mimosas were not watered down (OJ'd down?). We will always coming back when we are in town. read more
