I always enjoy my visits to the Ruby Slipper in Orange Beach. First a scenic drive, then great food and fantastic service. My coffee cup is never empty , and I appreciate being able to mix and match the Bennies, (eggs Benedict) to try new things, but the build your own omelette is my go to meal, before walking it off at some of the most beautiful beaches around. Especially after sampling seasonal beignets or the white chocolate pancakes. Highly recommend!! read more

Meh! I don't understand the huge lines for this place. While the food was ok it certainly didn't live up to the hype or justify the super long lines. I had the pancake trio that included the pancake of the day a cinnamon pancake and one that tasted like French toast. It was ok but no big deal. My buddy had the Cajun shrimp Benedict and was less than impressed. While the service was good $67 including tip for breakfast for three was way overpriced for what we got. I won't be back. read more

Overpriced and wait was very long (as expected, despite there being multiple tables open on the inside) and the food was just okay. Iced coffee was not bad, though, surprisingly. The nutmeg was really good with the vanilla, wish it were cheaper or I would have gotten a refill. Would be a 3 stars but the waiter was amazing so I'm giving this place 4 stars just for him. Wish I could remember his name but he was loud and energetic and just what we needed after waiting so long for a table. read more

My husband and I ate here on 4/18, Brittany J. was our waitress. The staff easily helped us to a patio seat so our dog could be with us. The food was great and that's what keeps us coming back to Ruby Slippers. Best place for southern brunch options. read more

This place was a favorite for us on our vacation in Gulf Shores. Located in Orange Beach it is a highly recommended breakfast spot. The food was incredible with such a unique menu we had a hard time deciding. The staff was friendly and attentive and the outside decking was lovely to enjoy it all. The Trifecta is a MUST, if you can't decide, their benedicts were amazing with a unique flare. read more

Family of 4, with 2 young kids came bright and early at opening, only two parties in front of us and yet they seated us at a wonky joined table setup where the tables didn't align. Party of four is a very common and easy to accommodate party size so we were a bit miffed right from the start. Food for and drink had good flavor, but the portions were small for the price, left us all hungry in the end. read more

Good service, great Orange Beach Location! My Hollandaise sauce was broken, which was a bummer. However both of my Eggs Benedict options were delicious. Mom got biscuit sliders - tasty but needed more sauce or moisture. Dad got white chocolate bread pudding, and said the same. Very tasty, but dry - needing more sauce! Hubby got the light scramble dish and said it tasted alright. I'd give it a go again next time we're in town! read more

One of my many places high on my to-try list. Since we skipped breakfast this was a good choice for brunch options. Jann was our very pleasant server & I had the house special "peacemaker" which is my choice of 2 benedicts. I chose corned beef and fried chicken. My honey chose a grilled sheepshead over cheese grits with a shrimp skewer, nice!! Both our orders arrived quickly and I enjoyed my dish the wife said hers was excellent, so no worries with the food. note: Their benedicts are awesome and they have plenty to choose from, and if you can't decide they offer an option where you can try 2 or 3 smaller portions. The biscuits are homemade and wonderful. All in all, it's a nice touch of New Orleans right here in Orange Beach. My next trip will definitely include the bananas foster French toast, sounds awesome. The restaurant is clean, the atmosphere is very pleasant, the service is great and the food is good, and you can get on a wait list on Yelp, what more do you need to know? You can bring your furry friends and eat on the patio. They provide eco-friendly paper straws, just like the ones I grew up with :-) and there's a 15% veteran discount 7 days a week. Botton line: I recommend this place without reservation! read more

The menu Needs less pork options Our Server Stephanie was so sweet & helpful The fried chicken eggs Benedict(i substituted the pork infused sauce for the standard hollandaise sauce) was so yummy! The chicken was fried perfectly & the meat was tender. The eggs were cooked to perfection! The bed of spinach underneath was fresh. I also got half of the corned beef hash eggs Benedict which i thought wasn't as good ass the fried chicken option but it was good. The potatoes on it could've been cooked a little more. The biscuits on the egg Benedicts were a nice change from the typical English muffin but the biscuits were SUPER thick! But I'm glad they were at least soft in the middle & crispy on the outside. I ordered a side of avocado & the selection was fresh & portioned nicely. read more

Ate here on vacation and it was delicious! Great food, clean environment and fast service. Definitely will eat here again!

We did the check in online for seating. Highly recommend doing that. We arrived a few minutes before 8:00 and there was already a huge line (they just opened at 730!). We walked up to the hostess stand and was immediately seated. So far so good! Here's where things got not so good. We sat for 15 minutes with absolutely no acknowledgment. Not good! Finally, Crystal swoops in to save the day! We were finally seen and Crystal apologized that the server for that section had not shown up to work yet. So my question is why would the hostess seat a section where there is no server? Anyway, Crystal said she was the bartender and she would take care of us. She took our order right away and from there everything improved. Nate, the other bartender, brought out our mimosa flight right away. I was a little bummed the watermelon pomegranate was not in the flight. Nate said they were out of it and they subbed a pineapple one which was good. The blueberry lavender was amazing!!! It wasn't long that the food came out delivered from someone else who didn't introduce herself. Wondering if it was the late server who just showed up?! We had to ask for silverware but it came out fairly quickly. The food.....WOW! Totally made me forget we sat for 15 minutes without being acknowledged! The biscuits were probably the best I've ever tasted. The butter that was served with them was just enough to put them over the edge. I got the shrimp and grits. Oh my! It was a party in my mouth! The flavors were perfect. It was just so so good! Hubby got the biscuits and gravy with eggs and potatoes. He enjoyed them as well. I would definitely return again. And kudos to Crystal for saving the day!! read more

Food is fantastic on the menu, but mediocre on the table. It was just so-so, maybe because it wasn't hot when served. Biscuits were overbaked or old. Benedict eggs were overcooked. I don't mind paying a premium for really good and creative food, but... WAY TOO EXPENSIVE TO HAVE BAD SERVICE AND MEDIOCRE FOOD!! 2 cups of coffee, a bloody Mary, and two entrées for over $70. I expect good service and a good breakfast... read more

Delicious! Service was exceptional! Cassie was wonderful and Brittany J was so nice and an excellent server. Mimosas and breakfast were excellent! We will definitely be returning. Love love love!!! read more

Really great food, but be prepared for a long wait in the summer because it's tourist season. It's one of my favorite brunch places because they have a ton of savory options and Cajun food in addition to traditional sweet breakfast items like pancakes and French toast. I got the pick two eggs Benedict and the beignets. To die for! Follow my Instagram @tastes.of.the.town for more restaurant reviews! read more

Good and service was great. Very busy but still a good experience. The Bloody Mary was just ok, wouldn't order that again. Don't like how that ask for donations to help pay student debt either, I reduced my tip amount after being panhandled. read more

I'm gluten free and was very happy to see they've added a gluten/allergen menu. I had the Migas and it was delicious. We've eaten at Ruby Slipper every time we've visited Orange Beach. The only improvement I can see that needs to be made is noise reduction. It's extremely loud every time we come. We have to practically yell to talk to one another. They need sound dampening panels or something on the walls. Food is great but the ambiance could be better. read more

Did not have the best food this morning. I ordered the French toast bites that were dusted in cinnamon and sugar. But the horrible part was that they deep fried them and they tasted like straight grease. The shrimp n grits were ok more like soup. Won't visit again. Server didn't even ask if she could remove from order. Just told me it was her favorite. Sorry but won't be returning...... read more

Always our first stop in Orange Beach . Friendly service and outstanding food. Roxanne was amazing

Such a fun spot!! Food was wonderful-the salmon omelet with goat cheese made my morning happy. Good coffee, excellent service. Would recommend for a first breakfast at the beach. read more

Extremely RUDE Hostess!!! Beware of the text asking if you would like a table outside!! It was busy and we were fine with waiting. After 30 min, we received a text asking if we wanted a table outside. Sure, no worries. My husband approached the hostess podium as we were under the impression an outside table was available. She replied, "Ok, I'll update your preference." As he turned to leave, I heard her say, "Unbelievable, they should have asked for outside seating to begin with (eye roll)." I decided not to engage any further and we left. read more

Brittany J was an awesome waitress!! Great food. Wonderful Bloody Mary and Mimosas! Will definitely return and ask for Brittany J. read more

We came for brunch today on my 50th birthday with 15 friends. The amazingly talented and accomodating hostess CeCe got us all seated at one table in a semi-private room in about 25 minutes!! WoW!! Then we very well taken care of by Peter who served us and explained everything on the menu. He was super fun and full of energy. He made our meal very fun and even took pictures. I am so glad we took the chance and waited for this place. A fabulous experience all around! read more

First order of eggs Benedict came out undercooked. 2nd order had the worse hollandaise I've ever tasted... came home to later figure out, it was melted cheese ‍ biscuits were dense and tough. Iced coffee was so full of ice, I left tired- probably equates to have a cup of coffee with the amount of ice they put in, and no refills. Only highlight this morning was the side fried chicken with some sort of spicy honey. Go to Another Broken Egg. Much better read more

We are locals but this is our first (and last) visit here. We came early on a Sunday morning so it wasn't busy at all. Our coffee and tea came promptly, we ordered beignets to start but all of our food was served at the same time, as announced by our server, "they sent your food with your beignets so you'll just have it together" well not the way we ordered it but ok. The beignets were like solid little boulders, soaked in grease - inedible. We at half of one beignet and didn't touch the others. The poached eggs were done perfectly, but again, the biscuit was so dense and heavy, again not edible. Our server is busy carrying her baby around on her hip and not noticing us so we finish eating what we can. My husband's bacon and eggs were fine. Server finally comes back over and asks us if we want a box for the beignets, no thank you, she refills our drinks and off she goes. Finally returns and again, after taking her baby into the ladies' room (gosh I hope she washed her hands) asks if we want a box, no thank you. She doesn't ask if anything is wrong with them, obviously not interested and gives us our bill. We won't be back, too bad because we are still on the hunt for a regular Sunday morning place to eat. read more

Get the bloody mary with bacon vodka, it is very tasty. The migas tasted good, but do NOT come with tortillas, which being from Texas was weird to me. Kids loved the cinnamon swirl pancakes and ate them all. Wife had the Fried Chicken Benedict, she said "it was okay." Try the white chocolate bread pudding pancakes, you will not regret it. read more

I just got back from my 7 day stay in Orange Beach. THREE of those 7 days breakfast was had at The Ruby Slipper. First day I had a bacon infused bloody mary, that was surprisingly spicy, and just overall delicious. With that meal I had the Migas, which I had last yeah, and it was great. I want to figure out how to make it at home. Others in my party had various other drinks. The brandy milk punch, was very good, as was the morning margarita and the various mimosas. Sexond visit was with less people, bit still as delicious. This time I had seasonal benedict. Which was a fried green tomato in place of the bread, with a crabcake, poached egg and hollandaise all atop a bed of fresh baby spinach. It was SO GOOD, I wanted to cry. Then as the waitress joked, i practically licked my place clean....using my daughters toast. My MIL got the seasonal pancake, which was mixed berries with a chantilly cream. So good! My kids just got bacon and eggs, while simple, were VERY good. Third trip, which was on our way out of town. I had the Peace Maker. In this dish you get to mix and match any two benedicts. I got another crabcake and the corned beef. Crabcake was as amazing as the last time, and the corned beef was good...but, not as great as the crabcake. My Nephew got salmon Benedict, which he devoured. The only person unhappy was my mom, who got banana pecan pancakes...she was expecting banana inside the cakes, instead they were sliced on top, but she still enjoyed them. My son got the French toast batons, holy crow, so good! Overall, one of the best brunch places I have ever been, and I've done a lot of brunch. read more

Visited late morning on a Thursday in Orange Beach. Seated quickly after checking in online. Started with some morning cocktails. My daughter enjoyed her boozy iced coffee while my husband and I ordered bloody Mary's with the perfect amount of spice. The pickled green beans were a nice garnish. Each of us ordered something different. My sweet heat chicken and French toast bites were delicious. The syrup was just that. The fried chicken was delicious and the French toast bites crunchy. Those that got omelets were happy with them, but my son-in-law ordered his eggs over easy and the yolks were not runny and the whites overdone. Grits were buttery and delicious and the gravy was very good with a hint of spice. Service was great, everyone very nice and friendly. We would visit again. read more

You MUST have breakfast here when vacationing in the area. I'm a born and bred New Orleans girl, and the Ruby Slipper is by far my favorite breakfast spot at home. I'm so happy that they've expanded beyond NOLA. The food and service are equally incredible. My favorite dish by far is the Eggs Cochon. It's a heavy dish, but the portion sizes here are very generous so you can share if you feel like it's just too much. You can bring home your leftovers and reheat them too. If you're an eggs Benedict and cochon fan, please, please, please do yourself a favor and give this dish a try. It begins with a perfectly cooked, fluffy biscuit, is topped with tender, sweet pork debris, a poached egg, and a deliciously rich hollandaise sauce. I'm telling you - divine. I haven't ever had anything here that I didn't like and I've been to several of their locations over the past few years. This place is it. read more

It took too long to be sat, the food took 40 minutes to get to our table was overly charged for basically raw eggs, overly priced orange juice, the food was not that good. Waffle House would have been a much better choice any day of the week. read more

I placed an order online, recieved a text that it was almost ready, drove 30 minutes to the location just for them to tell me that the online site orders does not work. I almost placed a delivery order and it said it would be 70 minutes eta. I would've been waiting for over an hour with no notification from the restaurant that my order was never being prepared. They told me to contact customer support to get a refund but the website said to goto the location. I have yet to receive a refund for my order. read more
