Grit cake with eggs and crawfish
Daniel T.

Ruby Slipper absolutely knocked it out of the park! I had the crispiest, most delicious grit cake topped with crawfish and eggs, and it was SO, SO, SO good. The crispy outside of the grit cake paired perfectly with the crawfish and eggs it was one of those dishes where every bite just worked. This was easily one of the best brunch dishes I've had in a long time. 10/10 without hesitation. I'd come back just for this dish!

Many options

Great location to try, is best to get on the waiting list before you head there. However, if it's just two of you, the weight will not be very long. Only about 10 minutes for us to get a space and while we waited, we were able to tour the other locations nearby and get some good videos . Although I usually don't like crowded places like this because my seat is not normally a seat I would choose, I think it was worth it this time. We did sit at a small table for two and my back was against the world(I'd rather look out to who's coming behind me), but it was a great experience. Excellent food! I tried something new and like it- Costa Rican Breakfast-however I did not like the plantains, I wish they were sweeter. My husband absolutely love the pancake and his bloody Mary. I did try the mimosa flight, but it seemed to be too much for just one person or its just me. Rob provided excellent service, he has such a great personality. Energetic and lively spirit, he was tentative and made sure to check on everybody. He also gave great recommendations for beach locations and tour locations that will not fill touristy so that you can have a peaceful experience and enjoy Pensacola. The ambience is lively and fun.and loud. Everyone is welcoming and ready to talk to each other providing suggestions, especially to tourist and give us the best locations to go.

As always, the food was great! What made it exceptional was the service we received from Robert S. He was very knowledgeable and had a great attitude despite the air conditioning not working. He made sure our food came out fast and fresh with no hiccups. We will definitely be back just because of him!!!!

Looked so good I had to get a few bites of my Gulf Shrimp Omelet!! So good and shrimp we also on the larger side.

This is an another visit! Has to be my go to breakfast spot in Pensacola!! Service is fast and friendly and so welcoming!! It sits next to the old Trader John's. In the heart of downtown and complements the area! Very welcoming feel that makes you want to stay and order another mimosas flight!!

Biscuits and gravy
Janice S.

Katie was superb for taking care of us! We received it right away and the service was excellent from the time we sat down till the time we left. Our food was top notch. The loaded tater tots were excellent. I had the mixed Benny and my husband had the biscuits and gravy which the plate was clean when we got out from the table. The atmosphere here is wonderful and the staff are superstars! It's never a moment when they're not taking care of you. This was our first visit but most assuredly it will not be our last! Thank you, Ruby slipper for taking care of us for breakfast.

Biscuits & Gravy
Chris Y.

I visited this location recently since it was a spot my friends and I would visit frequently 9 years ago when I was in the area for school. The place hasn't changed a bit which I love, the bacon Bloody Mary is a must have and you can't go wrong with any of the food items. The Benedict combos are the absolute best so you can have a variety of great choices. I went for the biscuits and gravy to have something more light, but it's still a good size portion and packed with flavor. The staff is always very energetic and helpful which makes you feel right at home. Tons of seating and spots at the bar, with an outdoor patio which is nice when the weather is great. Cant wait to come back again and visit!

Smashburger
Sarah C.

Visited this location on a Saturday around noon. We had a wait time of 25-30 minutes and ended up sitting at the bar (which is first come first serve). Our server was nice and was able to place our order relatively quickly. The mimosa flight was okay. We all agreed the two middle drinks were the best and could have done without the green and red! The smash burger lacked flavor and the fries were cold. Overall service was quick and we had a pleasant experience. If I were to return I would definitely try one of the brunch menu items to see if I enjoyed the brunch options more! Dogs are allowed on the patio and there is street parking available.

Ambiance and Service 5 of 5 Service was fast and the server was nice and helpful. This place gets really busy and I'd recommend getting there before you want to eat so you can get through the waitlist. I don't think they do reservations though. Trifecta Bennies Sampler 5 of 5 Eggs Conchon Benny Bayou Shrimp Benny Chicken St Charles Benny Each of these were delicious with the eggs Conchon being the best. The braised pork definitely did the heavy lifting. As for the other two, they were great in there own right. However, I'd say the bayou Shrimp needed a bit more seasoning to tet that Cajun flavor through. The hollandaise sauce was delicious on each of them and may be the reason for all the deliciousness. I'll have to visit again to verify. The coffee here was good, but nothing special. If the other food is as good as the Benny's were, I'll have to return for sure.

Ambiance - same about. It was quit loud with people talking., but the place was packed full. It's definitely better to come here during the week if you like a quieter environment. Mom did not enjoy the noise. Service - excellent. The waitress had it timed perfectly. Food - I started with their Bloody Mary. It was hot and spicy . Good but there was too much ice in the glass. The dressings to the drink were three green beans, a quarter slice of , a quarter slice of ‍ and a green olive . Not very impressive. Next was the appetizer of Pig-Candy Bacon Bites. That was good!!! Mom really enjoyed it. Next we had the Three Little Pigs Omelet. It contains bacon, ham and sausage with Swiss . Loved the omelet. Very filling. Mom could not eat all of hers. The biscuit was fresh made and enjoyable but their grits were not. I was not offered an alternative for them at ordering. Fresh fruit would have been better. A pretty good meal.

Cinnamon Pancakes
Stacey B.

Food is great but the service is why I keep coming back!! Atmosphere is welcoming and a whole vibe!

Beignets Starter (both original and Mardi Gras)

Great food and excellent service! If you don't have a reservation, I'd suggest making one as wait times can get long. But, well worth it! Had such a pleasant experience here and will be returning! Great place and good vibes!

Eggs Blackstone The O.G. Benedict
Michael K.

Absolutely delicious breakfast, a go to spot if you're visiting Pensacola! I've been here twice now and each time it's been fantastic. This time I ordered The Peacemaker which lets you get any two of their Benedict's if you can't decide. I went with the Eggs Blackstone and the Chicken St Charles. The chicken was excellent still warm and crunchy despite being covered with the pork Tasso cream sauce. The biscuit was so good too, I left feeling very satisfied! My partner got the Eggs Cochon Benedict and mom got the Eggs Blackstone Benny. We wished the tomato in the Blackstone had more flavor or seasoning, seemed like a boiled tomato so a little bit soggy. Perhaps if it was a roasted. All in all a great spot and I would come here anytime, all the time lol. So good!

Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes
Kevin M.

Stopped in after my wife completed a physical therapy appointment up the street. Chris was our server and he did a superb job! We opened with adult beverages of a bacon bloody Mary and Bailey's & coffee. For our brunch, my wife ordered the cinnamon swirl pancakes, and I ordered the trifecta of eggs Benedict. The cinnamon swirl pancakes were an absolutely huge portion and delicious! I was thoroughly delighted by the trifecta of eggs Benedict! My favorite of the three was the fried chicken, followed by the braised pork. The fried green tomato and shrimp jambalaya was not bad. Looking forward to visiting again, sometime in the future.

Hello! What is the parking situation like here?

There is plenty of parking near there (short walks). You can use the main street (hardest), the sides streets, and there is also a parking deck nearby

Do they do reservations?

No they don't but you can go on here look them up and check in 30 minutes before you get there so you don't just sit and wait forever.

Are there bottomless mimosas?

Hi Noor, we do not offer bottomless mimosas at this time.

Are dogs allowed here on the patio?

Yes, they also have a water bowl for your babes🤗❗️

Does this restaurant have TVs to play football games?

Too busy eating delicious food to look at a tv, but I would say no. I have never seen a TV.

Jennifer which flavor of French Truck Coffee do you serve. I want to order someone but wanted to make sure I purchase the one that you serve? Thanks!

Creamy vanilla and Nola style to make your day!

Any Gluton free options yet?

Jeff I do not remember seeing anything on the menu stating Gluton free. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Gluten free pancake or French toast option?

She took the time to go over all the specials and let us know that everything is made in house since it's a scratch kitchen, which was a nice touch. We arrived right when they opened, and the restaurant filled up fast, so it's definitely a popular spot. We ordered the George Fries, and they were absolutely loaded! The portion was huge and could easily feed two people as an appetizer. For my entrée, I had the Truffle Chicken Alfredo, and it was delicious. The noodles were thick, chewy, and cooked perfectly, and the sauce was rich without being too heavy. It also happened to be my boyfriend's and my anniversary, and the staff surprised us with a complimentary chocolate cake, which was such a thoughtful gesture. We were so full that we had to wait until we got home to enjoy it! Overall, the food, service, and hospitality were all amazing.

I was so impressed by the wine and libations menu. I had two glasses of a nice French Sauvignon blanc. My husband enjoyed the whiskey selection. We all enjoyed appetizers- heirloom tomato and burrata salad with yummy bread and a special of the day- crab claws in a white wine butter sauce with grilled lemon. Both divine. The lamb burger was perfectly seasoned and everyone enjoyed my truffle fries. The homemade tzatziki sauce was perfectly balanced and just delicious. The lobster rolls were stuffed with fresh, sweet lobster and the basil aioli the perfect compliment. Such a great value. My girls' likened it to lobster rolls we get in Maine. The blackened fish sandwich had a nice, bold Cajun flavor and the pickled cucumbers were the perfect match in acidity. Overall, one of the best meals we had on our entire trip!! I'm convinced anything you get here will be fantastic.

We arrived around 10:30 on a Wednesday morning and we were wrong to think that the place would be empty after an early breakfast rush. We were seating upon entering by Brooke who also was our server. The menu is varied and we found out that you can order anything at anytime. We had ordered the Spicy Pulled Pork omelette and Shrimp and Grits. Next time, we're thinking a Grouper sandwich as they were being enjoyed at two tables next to us and looked delicious. Our breakfast entrees arrived quickly. The omelette came with a choice of side and I chose the potatoes. They were seasoned but a bit cold and hard. Brooke offered to swap them out when checking on us, but by that time, I was filling up from the large packed omelette. It was filled with pork, peppers, onions and cheese with more spicy, sweet pork on top. I wish the entrees came with toast. The shrimp and grits were served over gouda grits as requested and the dish was spicy and filling. Definitely one of the best we tried in a while. Drinks were refilled promptly and Brooke took care of her guests quickly and with a smile.

I was seated in the middle of the bar with customers on both sides of me. My server took my drink and food order, and after that, she never returned to check on me. I watched her walk past me several times while attending to the customers directly to my left and right. Not once did she ask how my food was, whether I needed another drink, a box, or my check. Eventually, another server noticed my frustration and asked if I needed anything. I told him I needed a box and my check and explained that my server had never returned to check on me. His response was, "We are all working the bar." That response was unnecessary and dismissive. If everyone was working the bar, it makes it even more confusing that I sat there for so long without anyone checking on me. A simple, "I'm sorry about that. Let me take care of you," would have been the appropriate response. I understand restaurants get busy, and I don't expect perfection. However, basic attentiveness and customer service should be expected, especially when a customer is sitting directly at the bar. Unfortunately, this experience was very disappointing.

Steel Pony Diner was formerly located at Gather location on Navy Blvd. The dining room is anywhere inside or outside patio of Dorothy's. Interior is "Wizard of Oz" theme. Ironically, there use to be a gay club in Pensacola called "Emerald City". The Steel Pony area at the side of the bar where you can order from Kyree. Order here and then find a place to seat inside or outside and Kyree will deliver your food. It is unclear whether to order drink with Kyree or go to the bar. This time around I went to the bar to get a coke, water, and a vodka soda. Since this location is new, I am confident they will figure it out whether or not Steel Pony Diner can order drinks at the bar where the experience can feel a bit more full service where I can order my food and drinks with one person with Kyree or order at the bar with the bar tender. FYI. Dorothy's is a non for profit bar to help fund raise for OASIS (a HIV prevention service and also serves people with HIV/AIDS). This visit, I had their signature Prego Sandwich served with a side of au ju and your choice of side garnished with Mable's Sweet Garlic Dill Pickles (I will cover later). For $2 extra I added grilled mushrooms. This sandwich is delicious!!! It is so good, it could be part of the Pensacola tourist DNA, meaning, if u visited Pensacola and had the Prego sandwich you will think about this sandwich when u think of visiting Pensacola. If u are visiting Pensacola, and not bothered with the LGBTQ community make Steel Pony Diner @ Dorothy's your next destination especially Memorial Day Weekend. With that said, let's talk about Mable's Sweet Garlic Dill Pickles made by Todd Morris of Family Orchard Farm. These pickles are like a savory candy... delish!!! I am not really into pickles, but these here are so good! I wonder if they make a relish version. If not, Todd, helurrrrrr?!?!?! You can get a jar for $12 at Steel Pony Diner.
