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

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

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

Must have been an off day. Sunday morning. No workflow. New staff. Waitress was very nice and kept apologizing. We all got the wrong breakfast and she made it right by bring us what was missing. Then our real breakfasts were delivered. The restaurant was so cute when we started coming down here 5 years ago. Now it's just kinda tired looking. 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

Sat at the bar for brunch. Excellent service. Great food. I recommend the Migas. Try it for yourself. 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

We thoroughly enjoyed brunch at Ruby Slipper! The Benedict's offerings are incredible!! They offer two per order and you can choose two different types of Benedict's! Mix and match. Great potatoes! The bloody Mary's are wonderful! Service is great! They were extremely busy as it was a Sunday. We went online and put ourselves on their "wait list". I highly recommend doing so especially on weekends and in peak season at the gulf. We will visit next time we are in orange Beach! read more

Britni J was great! She delivered our service with class and a side of humor! The pig candy is to die for and I recommend you always order a side of Tasso! read more

One of my favorite brunch spots. Brittany J recommended the new Shrimp Cortez benies. They are awesome ... especially with their Bloody Mary. read more

This place has a small town feel, with big city food. The food was delicious and the portions where perfect. If you go give the White Chocolate Bread Pudding Pancakes a go. You won't be disappointed. read more

I've eaten at the sister location in Birmingham. This location was excellent. Same menu, same great food- delicious and great quality. I got the chicken st.Charles, which is a biscuit with fried chicken breast, a poached egg Benedict, and I substituted Hollandaise for the pork Tasso sauce. Delicious! The fried green tomatoes here are also really good, and everyone in our group was pleased with their food. Service was good. It was crowded on a Sunday morning and parking is a bit of an issue. We had probably a 45 minute wait. There's some mask wearing but not a lot. They have some outdoor seating. For the food, I would definitely recommend! read more

Crystal gave us amazing service along with incredible food. Not only was I supper impressed but my Wife was too!! Thanks for making our first experience one to remember!!! read more

Did the app check in, it helped none. Waited 1 1/2 hour and finally got seated and sat there 19 minutes before greeted. Ordered and waited another 10 minutes before our drinks were brought out. Good food, made changes to our order and it was perfect read more

Our 2nd trip to the Ruby Slipper. Just as good as we remembered. We joined the waitlist, but ended up just sitting at the bar. Staff was friendly and stayed on top of our needs. Breakfast was amazing! We can't wait to come back! read more

We usually vacation in Destin but decided to try Gulf shores this year and so far with food choices we have made a horrible decision. When we arrived at the restaurant there was an hour and a half wait but we got sat pretty quickly, 10 tops wait. The food was mediocre at best. Bennies were good but unfortunately the yolk was overcooked. French toast bites with chicken was not good at all, syrup tasted like medicine and chicken was unseasoned, no salt whatsoever. The migas was just a big disappointment all around. I would not recommend anyone to come here, it's best to buy groceries and stay home. read more

Just finished some amazing Apple Cheesecake French toast! Perfect combo and delightfully light! Served with crisp bacon...so good. We sat outside and enjoyed some tremendous service by Brittany J. We'll be back tomorrow to try a couple of items she recommended! Stay tuned! read more

Brittany J provided amazing service. She anticipated our every need. The outside seating area is perfect for Sunday brunch. You will get your monies worth with the portions. read more

Really good breakfast and great service. We would definitely eat here again. We actually showed up a few minutes before they opened and they let us right in and seated us. read more

Stopped in for a quick breakfast and had a very tasty meal. My wife had the chicken St Charles Benedict. I had a combination of the Cochon and the shrimp boogaloo Benedict's. The chicken was huge and my wife really loved it. The cochon benedict was fantastic. The shrimp boogaloo was good too but o don't recommend pairing them as the boogaloo tomato base is a very powerful flavor where the cochon is more delicate. The biscuits they came on were fantastic too. read more

Our last vacation breakfast and it couldn't have been better. We sat on the porch and the breeze was amazing. I won't lie, I found the noise of the traffic annoying since it over looks the main road. Now for the food. My husband got the shrimp boogaloo Benedict. Presentation and smell were amazing. He said it was delicious. I'll have to take his word since I don't do runny eggs. The biscuit was huge and from what I could tell the fried green tomatoes were crispy. I got the pancake flight. Today's pancake of the day was a googoo cluster. Let me preface this with I don't do flavored pancakes. A great batter and pure maple syrup is a combination that can't be put to shame. The praline bacon was my favorite of the three. However, you could tell their basic mix was on point. read more

Food was great. Hostess, not so much. Air conditioner couldn't keep up with the heat in July. Peter G is a phenomenal server and we hope the establishment recognizes him as such. read more

Always the same! Best breakfast at every location! Fun, too! Gets crowded so plan accordingly.

Amazing food and service. The wonderful staff even gave us a ride back to our condo when it started to rain! Thank you for going above and beyond!!! read more

HOLY. COW. 1st of all, we all know brunch places are busy so make sure you join the online waitlist before leaving your house. 2nd of all, I stepped outside my comfort zone and ordered the Crawfish eggs Bennie and WOW. Best thing I've ever eaten. I watched my husband side eye me the whole time while eating his sad little omelet. I began telling those waiting for a table they needed to order this. (One did and showed me #influencer ??) When I got back to my room to take a post brunch nap, I literally dreamt about that crawfish bennie. Think they'll deliver to Texas?? Lol 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

Was terrible, waited 40 minutes to be seated then waited another 40 minutes for the food, food was also terrible, cost 20$ and waffle house would have been way better read more

Visited on a Sunday at 2 pm and the staff was more interested in closing at 3. They sat us at the bar which was dirty and waited 10 min and no one waited on us so we got up and left this dump. read more

Solid breakfast. Gravy was good. Biscuits were great. Prices were good for beach standards.

We go around tasting restaurants that have great ratings around the big cities, and we gotta say Ruby's slipper is missing the mark big time. The eggs Benedict is improperly made...the yolk is not runny and it was the same for other clients. The beniets are more like tortilla chips with powder sugar(just HORRIBLE) and which is sad since the owner is from New Orleans. The biscuits are super hard on the corners. And they skimp on all the gravys on all the plates. The staff handles food with their bare hands after touching their faces, and there is alot of flies!!!!! read more

Be sure and use the waitlist app to hop on the app before showing up. Bananas foster French toast, superb. The fried green tomato app, amazing. 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

Would have given a 5 star but the pancakes were very dry. The eggs Benedicts are all delicious
