    LOVED THIS PLACE! We initially were waiting for a different spot, looked over & saw this patio, and swapped! lol. We started with the mimosa flight and the Bloody Mary- both delish. Got the seasonal fruity pebbles beignets and they were over the top good. We also got the fruity French toast and the avocado toast. Both beautiful presented with a 10/10 flavor. Oops, and we shared the bread pudding pancake. Yum. Great service, great location. Would return and recommend.

    We have been fans of Ruby Slipper since our first trip to New Orleans in 2017. We don't have Ruby Slipper this far north, in Nashville, but we do have Ruby Sunshine. Ruby Sunshine has a lot of Ruby Slipper's items. Lots of runny benny style eggs with various meats--shredded pork, fried chicken, shrimp. They also have a version with grilled tomatoes (though my tomatoes didn't seem grilled at all). Other options include French toast, omelets, migas, catfish, pancakes. I got the peacemaker, which is a fun option when you're torn between options. I got the cochon (apple braised pork) and Blackstone (smoked bacon and grilled tomato). Again, my tomato wasn't really grilled and could have used more seasoning. My pork was a little dry. But overall it was a good brunch dish. And my favorite part (always has been) is they do SUPER RUNNY eggs perfectly. I had a mimosa, which was fine. A note, they don't serve drinks with liquor before 8 AM (I work the night shift). The margarita I had after 8 AM was tart due to the grapefruit and hit the spot after a long day. It's a large spot, lots of tables and bar seats. Open with lots of windows and high ceilings. I was the first person at 7 AM, but more people came in during the two hours I was there. Wasn't crowded by the time I left at 9 AM though. Parking in back is your best bet. You can get one hour free with the code at the Ruby Sunshine host stand. Beyond that, two hours is just a little over six bucks. I suggest this over trying to find street parking, which is not easy. My server, Cody, was very attentive, but not smothering. He kept on top of my drinks and checked on my often, but not too often. Solid brunch spot in a trendy Vanderbilt university neighborhood.

    Ate outside on the patio with a very short wait. Love the fact that dogs are allowed on the patio. The server was nice but the service is a little slow across the board. The bread pudding pancakes are delicious. I loveeeee decadent foods and this is sweet and delicious. If you're one of those "too sweet" people you won't like this. And I'm not even a bacon person but the bacon was delicious.

    The food was good! Sarah was helpful in ensuring we received what we needed during our visit. The restaurant has an open floor plan. The only issue was there were flies in the window which caused us to ask for to go boxes for the starters before they were touched by insects. I recommend fixing that issue.

    The customer service was welcoming and the wait time on a Friday was less than 2 mins. Melissa, our server, was pleasant and she made great recommendations. We'll definitely be returning on our next visit to Tennessee.

    My boyfriend and I went to Ruby Sunshine for brunch on a weekday early afternoon. When we got there we were very easily able to get a table and were soon greeted by the servers. I ordered their Smashburger. The burger itself was great. I love when burgers have a lot of veggies on them and the flavor was great. The burger comes with fries which were not my favorite since I thought they were too much on the crunchy side and felt more like potato sticks than French fries. Parking anywhere in Hillsboro village is more on the difficult side, but they have an attached parking lot right in the back. This gives you an hour of free parking and you have to pay for any parking in addition to an hour. If you do go I'd be sure to pay attention to the parking time since this area often can be pretty stringent with that.

    I brought my mom and her boyfriend to Ruby Sunshine for brunch, since attending the yelp event i've been wanting to go back and try their food, it was a total hit. My mom ordered the Bananas Foster pancakes, and she could not stop talking about how good they were fluffy, perfectly cooked the bananas was not mushy not super sweet and topped with that warm, buttery sauce that makes you want to lick the plate clean. Everyone loved their dishes, my gf got the three little pig's omelet and everything came out fresh and flavorful. My momma bf got the biscuit and gravy with sausage links and fried chicken which was fire! The staff was friendly, attentive, she remembered me from the yelp event and remembered us take tater tots shots lol and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. The vibe inside is fun and relaxed, perfect for a slow morning with family. If you're looking for a brunch spot that consistently delivers great food and great service, Ruby Sunshine definitely deserves a spot on your list! I can't wait to go back!

    Beignets were not good at all! Loved the biscuits. Grits were delicious but the shrimp was undercooked. Probably won't be back.

    Transplanted to Nashville from New Orleans, Ruby Sunshine brings highlights some of the best breakfast flavors and drinks of NOLA. Typically crowded on the weekend, Monday is a great day to have brunch in Hillsboro Village. You have a chance to park. The parking lot behind the building has 1 hour free but make sure you register at the box or they will be sure to ticket. There is plenty of seating in Ruby Sunshine, and whether you sit at the bar or a table, there is a lot of whimsy in the decor. ie. ruby slipper with a fried egg, whisks for lamp shades. Fun. We were seated right away and given plenty of time to choose our meal and drinks. Friendly help from everyone. As it was my first time, I shared a trifecta of bennies to experience the most of the flavors. The St. Charles (chicken) was my favorite. The crunch was great and there was just the right amount of sauce. Yum. The beignets and and beverage were a part of a Yelp event but they are totally worth it. Delicious.

    I'm not gonna lie I didn't love the food or the drinks. It's a nice little place in a busy area, but it also isn't opened too late so just judging it for brunch vibes but I don't think I'll be coming back. The food was pretty bland and I had to send my food back because it was pink catfish which according to google is bad. They said it was just the seasoning but they took it off the bill and I just didn't eat other than my friends leftovers. servers were super nice though so I will give them that and the biscuits were definitely a crowd pleaser.

    The Trifecta AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

My brother and sister-in-law from Ohio were visiting us with their two young children, and we had been hitting up local ice cream establishments all week. We had tried a new one almost every day if they have been there and since we went to five iron golf nearby, I knew we would finish tonight up stopping by Sarabhas. It was late in the evening on a Sunday, but they were surprisingly busy though it did not take long to get served once we ordered. I sent all the saffron and pistachio ice cream and immediately that's what I wanted. Luckily before I made my decision I noticed that they had a Gulab option with that ice cream. Gulab jamun is one of my all-time favorite desserts so this was a must for me. All I can say is if you come here and you don't get that I'm extremely disappointed in you. This is a must visit if you're in the area. I know they have a new location at Lost and Found over in East Nashville as well so hopefully they have the full menu offering there. They are super nice and this is a different kind of ice cream experience that I would recommend over any of the ice creams available in 12 south or in most parts of the town.

We ordered a double scoop - I got the chocolate and coconut and my husband got the chocolate and strawberry. Both flavor combinations were very good, not too heavy on the cream and I could taste the flavors without being overwhelming. The staff was not very helpful or friendly, we weren't told anything about the options and just picked ourselves. Overall a nice place and good ice cream!

    I co-work a lot, so there are two main things I look for:…read more Outlets Parking This place is great at 1/2 of these things. Parking is perfect. Plenty of room to park. They have started doing a little better about having outlet options, but mainly at those tall, long skinny tables. The ones that aren't necessarily great for working because they're so high up and can make your legs feel weird after awhile. Haha. The other semi complaint I have is that they close early. 3 pm is early when you want to try and work. Drinks are good. I don't drink a ton of coffee these days, but what I've had there was good. I get either their chai or matcha. Both of those I enjoy! I had a sandwich there recently. I wanted to roll my eyes at the price truthfully. However, when it came.. WOAH. It was GIANT. I was thoroughly impressed. It was really really good. I had to take half of it home and put it in the fridge. When I came back home hours later... it was STILL GOOD. The bread was not soggy either! That's HUGE! Ok so overall, I highly recommend this place and it's one of my go to spots.
