Ruby Slipper is this fun, chaotic cafe that offers a very unique take on NOLA cuisine. Located just off of Canal Street, this establishment is very easy to find. Once inside, you will see a spacious environment with tables all over the place, plus a nice central counter space. What they offer is their own brand of Americana. There are really a lot of choices on their menu and all of them are very well prepared and tasty. The have food to fulfill all palettes and dietary desires. One of the fun things about this cafe is their staff. From my experience, they are all super high energy and really take care of their customers. The one thing I will say, again from my experience(s), is that they are all a bit of an up-seller. For example, when you are ordering, whatever it is you want from their menu, they will suggest something like putting avocado on it. "That's how I like it," they will say. Or, they may suggest something else. The one thing that they do not tell you is that every addition, no matter how small, will cost you. So, just keep that in mind as you meal may end up costing you more than expected. This is a very popular restaurant. With this, sometimes the staff can be stretched a little thin. This, though there are a lot of them. Just keep that in mind as during rush hours, you may have a bit of a wait. Overall, great place to get a good meal.
Had a great brunch experience at Ruby Slipper. The food was excellent: fresh, flavorful, and exactly what we hoped for when visiting a New Orleans brunch spot. The menu offers plenty of creative Southern inspired options, and everything we ordered was well prepared. Marvin was friendly, attentive, and efficient. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, with a fun New Orleans vibe that made the meal even more enjoyable. The only reason for the 4-star rating instead of 5 is the restaurant's inflexible substitution policy. I wanted to substitute for a single pancake, but that wasn't an option. It's a small issue, but a little more flexibility with simple substitutions would go a long way toward improving the customer experience. Overall, I'd definitely return and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality brunch in New Orleans.
Went for the hype at Ruby Slipper Cafe and unfortunately... it just wasn't it for me. Used the app for reservations which at least helped put us on the waitlist, but there wasn't really an option for indoor vs outdoor seating and we ended up inside. Since it's such a popular spot, service was definitely slow. We were seated sandwiched between two other couples and overheard how delayed orders were, so we decided to order everything all at once. We got the fried green tomatoes, mimosa flight, cappuccino, and a boozy iced coffee. The mimosa flight was actually a LOT, and because it took so long for the server to come back around, I had to slow down my drinking just to pace myself with the food coming out. For food, I had the trifecta of bennies -- and I think we also got an omelet. I didn't even finish the trifecta, but to be fair, it's a LOT of food. The seafood bennie just wasn't giving what I hoped for. I've had some amazing crab cake bennies from smaller mom-and-pop spots, so I know how good they can be, but this one just missed the mark for me. The breaded chicken bennie was actually pretty good though, and the pulled pork/beef one wasn't bad either. The fried green tomatoes caught me off guard because they had a sweeter sauce or jam on them -- not what I expected, so I'd personally pass next time. I know a lot of people come here for brunch and bachelorette trips, but after going myself... I honestly don't really get the hype.
Brunch at Ruby Slipper Cafe was actually really cute for Mother's Day. It was PACKED, but the vibe was nice and they gave all the moms a sweet little card and a carnation, which was a thoughtful touch. The mimosa flight was overpriced and honestly... still nasty but that's probably my fault for thinking this time would be different. The morning margarita though? GOOD. New Orleans never misses when it comes to strong drinks. I had the trifecta eggs Benedict with three different styles and it was really good. The fried green tomatoes with the bacon jam were probably my favorite thing we ordered -- absolutely delicious and definitely recommend. My oldest daughter tried poached eggs for the first time with her Blackstone Benedict and loved it. It also came with a fresh little salad that balanced everything out nicely. My youngest got the hot honey fried chicken sandwich. Couldn't really taste the hot honey, but the chicken itself was fried perfectly, super tender, and flavorful. Overall, cute brunch spot, good food, strong drinks, and a nice Mother's Day experience.
Everything was lovely, from a surprisingly short wait time on JazzFest weekend, to quick service and great recommendations, to food served fresh, hot and delicious. The decor was nice and welcoming, with plenty of space between tables which is an issue with some NOLA restaurants. I didn't feel like I was sitting with my neighbors or overhearing their conversations. I appreciated the space! What more is there?
Love the Ruby Slipper. The wait can take awhile, but the service is super friendly and the food is delicious. I love the avocado toast which comes with fried capers and pickled onions. My spouse picked three of the eggs Benedicts. The chicken Saint Charles was the favorite of the three. The tasso sauce was so good and the fried chicken was so flavorful. We also get an order of bananas foster french toast for the table. So yummy!!
Went here for lunch were we started with the fried green tomatoes. The waitress was awesome and when I asked for them plain she convinced me to try them as the menu described them. They were delicious and then since I like my fried green tomatoes she brought me a couple plain. I would say put it on the menu as an option please. I then ordered their southern BLT ( guess what it had fried green tomatoes on it ) sandwich hit the spot for me. I enjoyed the overall jazzy type of southern hospitality and again I can't say enough on our waitress. I'll do my best to hit here again prior to leaving
One can never go wrong with visiting Ruby Slipper. Its always a must while visiting. The food is always delicious and made to my liking. The patio seating while visiting allowed up to enjoy the view as people went about their day. SOUTHERN BREAKFAST: I chose scrambled eggs, stone-ground grits, Applewood-smoked bacon, fried green tomato a buttermilk biscuit. 5/5 Mocktail sparkling sunrise: muddled fresh strawberries & Crofter's strawberry preserves with fresh lime juice, Natalie's Blood Orange Juice, and San Pellegrino Sparkling Limonata. I absolutely loved this one as it was so refreshing and full of flavor with a hint of fizz. Rosa was an amazing server!!!
Very good breakfast last minute! Having a very large group we came here to try and get a quick bite late in the morning. They were able to accommodate a group of 10 with only a 30 minute wait and got the food out pretty quick. The food was very good for being a large popular chain. My friends loved the shrimp and grits, and I absolutely adored the fact that you could mix and match the Benedict's. This is a great spot for brunch if you're not looking for a quaint local business.
Please make a reservation but know it's a small place and you will still probably wait. I suggest you come early. We were seated outside it's small they only have 4 tables outside. The service was good but the waitress isn't attentive the food was good we had the shrimp and grits were delicious the hot honey chicken and French toast was good. We also tried the fried green tomatoes they weren't good fried to hard too much breading.
The food and service were fantastic. Best grits we had on our trip. We sat outside and it was a bit chilly and rainy, but that's not the restaurant's fault! They also were able to accommodate us even though we got our timing mixed up, coming from NYC (that hour messes with you!) I ordered Migas and it was so flavorful and delicious. My friend ordered the eggs cochon, which she also said was very tasty. This is my second time dining at Ruby Slipper and I definitely intend to come back if I'm in the area again!

We stopped in to get breakfast on our way out of town heading back home to Texas. Everyone, from the hostess at the door who seated us to the two bartenders working the busy bar area, was so incredibly nice. They all had great, fun personalities and didn't seem to be bothered by how busy the restaurant was. Then there was the food! Oh my goodness! My boyfriend got the biscuits and gravy, and I had the Eggs Cochon. His food was good but mine was by far the best meal we had in New Orleans and we had some amazing food while we were there. My boyfriend isn't really a fan of pork but one bite of my food and he regretted not ordering the same. I'm never able to finish a full meal so he did get to eat what I couldn't. We also tried the bananas foster French toast which was sinfully delicious. All of the food was reasonably priced as well. We will definitely come again and we have highly recommend this place to all of our friends who like to visit New Orleans. read more

Thank you so much for sharing the brunch love and your must-try menu…
Holy hell!! This place has it going on! The food on three different visits during my trip there for a conference. It was in walking distance and had good reviews so I decided to give it a shot! I got the peacemaker. This option let you choose two Benny from their list. The first trip I got the chicken st Charles, which was basically a chicken and waffle benny, and the eggs cochon with the apple braised pork! Sooooo good!! The eggs cochon shined like a constellation mapping the food gods and pointing to right here at this point on the planet!! Second visit I did the same thing but this time got eggs cochon AGAIN!! Since it was amazing but the second one I got the Bayou shrimp! Oh man, it drooling just thinking about it! Both were so much fire!! I couldn't even stop the happy dance I was doing in my seat! I sat at the bar and even the bartenders were cool as hell and both agreed they love the bennys! Third time I was in a rush had to bring the coworkers and got the same thing again!! The Bayou Shrimp was missing the the pork bits but hey you can't win them all! I'm still giving 5 stars because has I not know that I would have still been and was still a happy camper! One of the other guys got the veggie benny and it looked soo yummy! He was also impressed as he was Indian and never had hollandaise before. WHAAAAAAT!?! Mind blown, haha and so was his!! I'm glad we did this! Thank you guys for such a great place! read more

Bradley, our server, was awesome! He was attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we sat down. The Bloody Mary was delicious, and I loved the addition of the green beans--they paired perfectly with the drink and gave it a unique touch. The hospitality from everyone really made this first visit a great experience for our family. You can tell the staff takes pride in making guests feel comfortable. All the food we ordered was fantastic. The grits, in particular, stood out--I've never had grits cooked so perfectly. They were creamy, flavorful, and absolutely spot on. Ruby Slipper Cafe is definitely a must-try when you're in the French Quarter. read more

Ruby Slipper lives up to the hype. The food is consistently amazing -- the shrimp and grits are chef's kiss, the biscuits are stellar, and even the sweet tea is on point. Everything I've tried has been delicious, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality. They also have a full bar right in the middle of the restaurant, which just adds to the vibe. Brunch and booze for the win. You can check in online via Yelp or their website, which is super helpful since there's usually a wait. Just make sure you select the correct location, because there are several Ruby Slippers within walking distance. I accidentally checked in at the wrong one, but the staff was incredibly kind and still accommodated us. Great service, great energy, great food. This was my second visit, and it definitely won't be my last. read more

Food was excellent and a very good value. Something for everyone for sure, even someone like me who isn't in to breakfast and brunch. Smiling friendly service from hosts to waitstaff to food runners. I chose the Southern Breakfast because I wanted to try the grits, fried green tomatoes and biscuits so the eggs and bacon just came for the ride. Upgraded to cheddar cheese grits for $0.50 which was fine and they were delicious. I liked the applewood smoked bacon and the biscuit was EXACTLY to my liking: the fluffy/doughy kind that takes any flavor you give it. Bacon jam and butter were on the plate as well. Loved the FGT so for sure would get an order next time. Partner had the fried chicken and French toast bites with a side of praline sauce (for an extra buck, fine). He's the brunch eater of the family. That was dessert as far as I was concerned--too sweet and fried and cinnamon-y for me. Great fried chicken though. Took awhile and a couple of reminders to get coffee but then refills arrived regularly so all was forgiven. Waitress was a great up seller but we didn't go for every suggestion--they were all reasonable though. Really nice Ruby Mimosa. You can make reservations through Yelp! and you probably should. Outdoor (quiet) and AC indoor seating (loud) available. Will return. read more

Excellent brunch spot with the best Eggs Benedict! I love Eggs Benedict and couldn't decide which one to try so I went with the Trifecta. The Trifecta comes with three different specialty Eggs Benedict: Cochon, Chicken St. Charles and Bayou Shrimp. The Bayou Shrimp Bennie features Gulf shrimp sautéed with pork tasso and Creole tomato sauce served over a poached egg, fried green tomatoes and a buttermilk biscuit. The flavors were vibrant and the fried green tomato was a brillant idea in my opinion. The Cochon Bennie had shredded tender pork over a buttermilk biscuit and topped with a poached eggs and finished with hollandaise. The pork was incredibly tender. Last but certainly not least was the Chicken St. Charles. It's a fried chicken breast served over a buttermilk biscuit topped with a poached egg finished with a pork tasso cream sauce. I can't decide if this was my favorite but it was definitely a winner winner chicken breakfast! Add a side of buttery grits and this was the best breakfast I've had in the last year. Service was kind and efficient. Even though they were closing soon people kept coming in which tells me they run a good business. read more

We came here on the recommendation of our hotel doorman. There was a crowd outside the Magazine St location (there are several spots), but we were seated within 15 minutes. The place was noisy but upbeat and the service was charming and very "local." We had delicious lattes featuring nearby French Truck Coffee, and some mimosas. The Gulf Shrimp omelette was a favorite, with big, plump, fresh shrimp, and accompanied by delicious grits and a biscuit with honey butter and jam. The place was hopping but service was great! Worth the visit! read more

Overall not a bad place to eat some brunch. I had the Bennies and you can mix and match the options here which I think is great. All three options are great and you can't go wrong based on if you like seafood or not. Overall - this is a run of the mill breakfast place, great food but nothing extremely unique either.

Can we make a breakfast reservation?
No, but you can add your name to the waitlist on their website. BUT... you still need to get there and check in face to face to make it official. Expect a long wait.
Do they take online reservations? I see conflicting info on their website vs yelp reviews.
They don't take online reservations but you can put your name on the list for a specific time and when you arrive the wait time is 10-15 minutes
What are the vegan options or what can be veganized on the menu?
Nearly everything has some sort of milk or egg inside of it. Not recommended for vegan.
What is the average cost of the food?
Probably about $12 a plate, definitely worth it
Is the patio at this location covered?
There is some outside seating but not an actual patio and it is covered.
Is the outside seating dog friendly for non service dogs?
We saw a few dogs outside with their owners eating, none had service animal vests or collars on...so I would believe it's ok.
Do they accept large parties? I am trying to seat for 18
I would recommend giving them a call.
Can they accommodate large groups- we have 13?
It may take a little bit for you to wait, but they can accommodate. They also have waitresses that peruse the sidewalk out front taking drink orders to help the time pass.
Hi. Is there a separate gluten-free menu. Can menu items be made gluten free?
There is not a separate gluten-free menu. A couple items could be, as far as I'm aware
Is the menu the same everyday or is there a special menu for brunch?
Same every day
Would this place have a line if we come right at 7am on a Saturday?
The line doesn't get serious until 9 or so. They also have an app where you can put your name on the list before you get there!
