What a great breakfest place! We're from Chicago and were looking for a southern breakfest place. Very happy we stopped in!! All the food (and service from Kaitlyn!) exceeded our expectations. Please expand up north! read more

Great food. Nice atmosphere. Pretty good service. Parking is difficult sometimes because it is on the main drag downtown and you are pretty much dependent on parking meters. read more

Had the breakfast tacos. Out-freakin'-standing! Wow! Delish! Nom.........nom.........nom! My friend had the Blackstone Benedict! Another Wow! A+++++ read more

First time for the wife and I and have to say it was great! Best fried green tomatoes ever. Drinks were good if a little pricey. Main dishes ( we had different things from the menu) were really good. read more

Seated immediately, service was excellent, our server Brittany had coffee up quickly. Very friendly with menu suggestions. Food was fresh, hot and tasty. We ended up with leftovers. Overall great brunch spot. read more

I went here for a brunch with the gals and it was fantastic! I got the chicken and French toast bites and it was phenomenal. The bites are perfect!! Absolutely go eat here. read more

To start, I have not been to this location but I want to leave this review based off of the GM, Marcus. I met Marcus when he was temporarily at the Knoxville location earlier in 2020 when some of the Ruby Sunshine cafe locations closed down. I came in with my fiancée (at the time) to taste some of the food for our rehearsal brunch for our wedding and Marcus assisted us with our choices. Not only within the restaurant, but for all communication with our catering from there on out, Marcus provided some of the best customer service I have ever experienced. My wife and I got extremely lucky to be served by Marcus at our tasting and to be able to meet him. He went out of his way to recommend certain menu items, as well as to email us, call us, and to put me in contact with other management members at closer locations so that our wedding rehearsal experience was seamless. I highly recommend this cafe, not only from a food perspective (because it was delicious at our rehearsal) but mostly because of who manages it. Marcus is the absolute paragon of management and I cannot recommend any place he manages more. I hope my wife and I are able to stop by this location soon to be able to experience how great the food is here, but for now, I want everyone to know how incredible Marcus is as a person and as a General Manager. read more

Brand new restaurant that offered call ahead seating through Yelp which was much appreciated. Saved us about a 30 minute wait by the time we got there. They have interesting variations on eggs Benedict but not the original. Their version is on a biscuit which my husband had and it was a tremendous amount of food. Well worth consideration for a good breakfast. read more

Great place!!!! We absolutely love this restaurant. Staff are super friendly and make a nice atmosphere. We aren't from here, and we will be coming back many more times to come. 11/10, DEFINENTLY recommend. read more

We eat out a lot, especially when we travel. Breakfast places seem to be the hardest thing to find. Ruby Sunshine was definitely one of the good ones. I had a signature item and it came out hot and exactly as advertised. The service was exceptional - friendly, prompt, and quick to respond. read more

Great food, we got here around 9:45 on a Saturday and were seated right away. Our waitress was great and stopped to check on us often. Food was delicious and cooked to order, great time. It did take a little while for our food but in their defense they filled up quickly at 10am shortly read more

Booze heavy unbalanced cocktails. Sugar heavy burned pancakes. Not terrible, but not worth the bother of parking this location requires.

Stopped in earlier today and was highly pleased. Seated very quickly. Staff was amazing! Our waitress was very informative and super nice (I can't remember her name!) It's always hard to go out to eat with 2 young children but this place was very accommodating. Now onto our food..delicious and very flavorful! Don't think you'll be disappointed with anything on the menu. We will definitely be back the next time we are in town! read more

Interesting menu. A New Orleans vibe. The one downside for us was almost everything comes on a biscuit. I know it's a sin down south but we aren't huge biscuit fans. Our waitress, Carolyn, couldn't have been nicer. read more

If you are in the downtown area eat breakfast here. The Benedict's are all amazing. Great service, they just do it right.

One of the most consistently best chain restaurants ever. The menu is exciting. The food quality is top notch and we've always had great service. read more

Great food and service. We had the French toast bites and the bayou shrimp Service is fast which is nice when you're trying to get to the next place! read more

We worked up an appetite at the climbing gym and then walked here for an awesome brunch. There were 9 of us. From pancakes & French toast bites to biscuits & gravy, we were all very happy and full! read more

Super quick service and the food was delicious!! Will definitely be back. Going to visit the one in Florida next!

My wife and I drive all the way to this location from Atlanta all the time. It's amazing! We love Ruby Sunshine! Elizabeth and Chris were awesome! They took great care of us! The service and food is always perfect. Still impatiently waiting for a location in Atlanta to pop up! But I highly recommend everyone check this place out if you haven't been! read more

Man! Delicious food...so good. You cannot go wrong here. The Beignets were fabulous as was the tex mix scramble (forgot the name). There's just so much flavor in all of their dishes. read more

Came for breakfast based off Google suggestion and was not disappointed! We ordered the peaches and cream beignets, the sweet heat chicken and French toast bites and the migas (those were just ok). Cassie was super friendly. We will be back! read more

The food was fabulous especially the beignets. Our waitress Stacey made the dining experience even more special. Love it!

First time there. Great food. My husband and I shared 2 different dishes to be able to try different things. Brought beignets home for the next day. They were delicious. read more

Will never eat here again! If you are looking for good quality food this is not your place. The food is very mediocre, if you have a gut problems do not eat here. read more

Sassy Cassie was such a great and kind waitress! She made my friends and I feel very welcomed and could feel her genuine personality!

This is a very clean nice looking place. It is great if you like cold coffee and a restaurant where everything is an up charge! We ordered French toast bites that were very good, first time I have ordered an appetizer for breakfast. They weren't busy but the waitress who was a nice young girl was not exactly on top of things. I ordered the breakfast tacos which came with a side. I asked for a fried green tomato, up charge, sausage in my tacos, up charge. When the food came out it was so plain. The fg tomatoe sat alone, no sauce, It said the tacos came with pico de gillo and I was told it is in the eggs. I asked for some sauce for the tomato and yup, up charge! I asked where the sliced avocado was and waitress said they didn't get any from their supplier. Funny, they had a mountain of them at the Publix down the street. My husband ordered an omelette and for his side he asked for corned beef hash. Not only an up charge but $5.99 charge which is the full amount of a side order. Had to ask for butter for his biscuit that was doughy and cold. Our check came to $48.00. Save your money and try any place other than this place. I can assure you that we are extremely fair in our judgment. We have had several great experiences in Chattanooga and we will be posting them also. Love to give credit when it is due. read more

Ruby Sunshine is a good example of problems that are typical with the "mini-upscale chain" phenomenon (think Tupelo Honey and First Watch): a good initial restaurant with something of a local flair whose growing pains come from a lack of quality control in expansion. However, Ruby Sunshine's is even more acute, as it is part of the Ruby Slipper group out of New Orleans. Ruby Sunshine tries to approximate some of Ruby Slipper's menu and approach, while being more genericized for the region outside of the lower Gulf South. Herein lies the problem. Seafood and cuisine often have trouble travelling well-literally and figuratively. It's not hard to find fantastic cooks in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama- particularly those who know how to mix breakfast and dinner-oriented cooking. This becomes harder in a city like Chattanooga that lacks a strong tradition of cuisine. In terms of the seafood itself- ensuring freshness is a challenge as the locations get further inshore. My family's visit to Ruby Sunshine exemplified all of the above. Having experienced the Ruby Slipper a few times in Louisiana and loved it, we decided to give a visit. We were not expecting the exact same menu, but were assuming there would be some similarities in cuisine and quality. Unfortunately, there was a lack of care or preparation in just about everything we had. As someone who has eaten cajun, creole, and deep south cooking since birth, I found the results woefully lacking, as did my family. Biscuits that were dry and poorly textured. Bitter coffee (not to be confused with strong NO coffee that I've drunk my whole life). The grilled fish St Peter, perhaps Ruby Slipper's finest dish, was just awful, with the fish itself past its sell date and floury tasting sauce with a mismatched spice blend. The gulf shrimp omelet was similarly problematic in terms of flavor and freshness. This location needs to address these issues of supply and actual cooking- as in cooks who really know how to put the soul in the kitchen- to be on par with this chain as we have so far experienced it. Otherwise we've got pseudobistro problems here. read more

Restaurant is really nice and seems to have a good happy environment. My only problem was that they were not busy and me along side someone else have been sitting in a booth for 15-20 mins. Not a single person came to even ask us what we would like for drinks. Not sure what the problem was, but I hyped this place up and they did not meet my expectations. read more

We have been to the slipper on canal this one is as hood or better great experience all the way around the food the service was absolutely outstanding the wE paid the server a compliment and asked her to tell the kitchen the trainer from New Orleans came out to thank us they acted like we were The Godfather read more

Glad to have another great restaurant to put in our Saturday morning breakfast rotation. Tasty food and friendly service.

Expensive and just ok. $10 for brunch cocktails and no drink specials. $15 for a biscuit with egg on it and some shrimp. No thanks.

Great atmosphere, friendly and helpful employees, amazing food. Highly recommend! Will be back next time we are in the area.

I've been to many breakfast places over the U.S and this by far tops every place I've been to. My wife and I make it a priority to get up early and try almost every breakfast spot and I will certainly be back for this place. Came in and got sat right away on Christmas Eve. Server came over right away and got us our beverages. Got the Irish coffee and was a little strong but that is never a downside lol! The food was AMAZING! Best omelette I ever had (Spanish omelette) the wife got the banana pudding pancakes and was nice and crisp on the edges and warm all over. Server was a character and actually talked to us instead of just being a regular server. Highly recommend! read more

Came here for a quick breakfast while in Chattanooga. We reserved our place online while driving there from our AirBnB (definitely recommend it), so we didn't have to wait long for seating, maybe five minutes. We had the fried green tomatoes and the pancake of the day. Very good tomatoes! I was a bit underwhelmed by the pancakes, but my girlfriend wanted these and I wanted a different type so I'm a bit biased. Will definitely visit again on our next trip to Chattanooga! read more

The breakfast was huge and delicious. Chad our server was very thoughtful. Definitely will revisit!

Best breakfast potatoes AND Bloody Mary I've ever had! Bailey, our amazing waitress told us the potatoes are cooked in Rosemary Oil. Soooo good. Everyone was super warm and friendly also! I'm visiting from FL, but if I lived close, this would definitely be a regular spot for me! read more

Every one was super nice and polite and in a good mood. The food was really good and the server (Ally) was very helpful

This was my 1st visit and unfortunately I wasn't impressed. We came for Sunday Brunch...had 2 entrees both were served cold & 3 (nothing special) drinks total. Our bill was $86!!!! The mimosas are $10 a piece...a mile down the road there are 2 other local spots serving $1 & $2 mimosas. read more

Great food and service! 100% recommended! I got an omelet w/ potatoes and it was delicious! My kid got pancakes and loved them! And has working restrooms. read more
