    It was a busy Sunday morning and a quick walk from our hotel. We we wee are at quickly once specified outside. Service was kind and quick. Food was delicious and atmosphere was nice. Food options were great and the location on canal st was perfect for a stop in and scenic views of the city outside of right outside of bourbon. Loved the size of there beignets for a quick appetizer.

    I was looking for a breakfast spot and walked into this place. Looks like the Ruby Slipper is a chain. I saw a handful of them within a couple blocks. I didn't like the seating at the one closest to the hotel, but this one wasn't that much further, in terms of walking distance. They offer seating both inside and outdoors. There's counter seating in the center with tables surrounding it. The place was crowded, but I still found a table off to the side to the left. I could see the small kitchen in the back from where I was seated. This place is popular. I ordered the Truck Latte ($5) and Mota's that started out at $12.75, but ended up costing $2 more because every additional recommendation David G made cost $1 (Add Coubion, $1 + Add Pico De Gallo, $1), which is what I noticed about New Orleans. My food and drink tasted fine. I probably didn't really need all the extras. He did offer to fill my latte cup with coffee, but I didn't take him up on that offer because that sort of defeats the purpose of ordering a latte. Service was overall friendly and efficient. As I was looking around though, I was wondering what letter grade they would have if they were in Los Angeles.

    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.

    Fried Green Tomatoes

    Rudy's Slipper was a fun brunch stop, and while the Benedict was solid, the fried green tomatoes were definitely the star of the show! I tried The Peacemaker, which lets you mix and match two Benedict options: Chicken St. Charles Benedict :Fried chicken breast served over a buttermilk biscuit with two poached eggs. I'll admit, I was nervous because I am NOT a poached egg person, but I'm so glad I stepped outside my comfort zone. The egg was cooked perfectly, and the whole dish came together really well. Bayou Shrimp Benedict :Gulf shrimp with pork tasso and Creole tomato sauce served over poached eggs and fried green tomatoes. Unfortunately, this one wasn't my favorite. The Creole tomato sauce didn't quite complement the flavors for me. My cousin ordered the Hot Honey Chicken Biscuit which was fried chicken tossed in hot honey glaze on a buttermilk biscuit with breakfast potatoes and enjoyed it. But let's talk about those Fried Green Tomatoes! Omgggg they were topped with lettuce, remoulade, fresh tomatoes, and a bacon-onion jam. The crunch from the batter was everything, but that BACON JAM was the unexpected highlight! I would definitely return to explore more of the menu. There are still plenty of dishes I want to try. #Flavorchaser Approved

    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.

    These are the best fried tomatoes I have ever had. The service is absolutely amazing, Anna. I really enjoyed the vibe during brunch.

    Amazing food and service! Must visit when in New Orleans a good down south vibe!! Tip....get on the waitlist before you go!

    French Toast and chicken bites

    10/10 - my bestfriend and I came here on a Sunday morning during 4th of July/Essence Fest weekend & the food was amazing. I joined the waitlist while we went and had some fun at the sazerac house & the wait was fully worth it! the food was delicious and the mimosas were great too! definitely would recommend if in town

    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.

    Ok guys this place is the bees knees! Make sure you call in or stop by for a reservation cause this place is jumping. The wife had the catfish and cheese grits, I had the chorizo omelette with the fried potatoes and it was a win! I will be back next time I visit New Orleans.

    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?

    Bananas foster french toast - yum! Plus side of bacon
    Sara P.

    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!!

    Ruby Slipper Central Business District Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Ruby Slipper Central Business District

    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 you have a vegan menu?

    yes, its called a salad!

    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!

Last but definitely not least are the Cocktails which were very good. Try the Cold Brew Martini if you like iced coffee type drinks and also try the Strawberry Lemon drop for a sweet treat. Both taste great and have a nice amount of spirits in them. This is a must try in NOLA. Will definitely return!!

You have to wait in line to order/pay so depending on how difficult the group(s)/people(s) orders are ahead of you, will dictate how fast this process will go.

I live the old 80's/90's theme and decor. Such a great throwback. We ordered 2 drip coffees (you get them in a to-go cups but you can get free refills), and the Grand Slam McMuffin. Both were great. Wish the sandwiches were bigger for the price you pay. $11.50 for a breakfast sandwich is pretty steep, but it's the price you pay considering everything is homemade. I would also like to point out that there is a discrepancy on the price of adding an egg. The menu says it's $2 more but we were charged $2.50. They should really update their menu or be upfront about it. Overall a great place to have a great breakfast. * Please note that you're not allowed to have someone save a table while another waits in line to order. You must order first before being allowed to take a table.

The gumbo was my favorite starter and it's really hard to share a bowl because you want it all to yourself! I really enjoyed the oyster BLT with the crunchy oysters and crispy pork belly pieces. The main of chicken and dumplings is the epitome of comfort food. The service was amazing and staff is attentive. The food came out pretty quickly but we weren't rushed. Before leaving we made another reservation for this upcoming weekend before we have to say goodbye for good.

    Luzianne Cafe, which is based on the nostalgic tea brand of all our southern kiddos childhood, sits…read moreabout two blocks off of Poydras at the corner of Constance and Girod, and is a bright, open, well maintained cafe serving up breakfast and lunch classics in addition to a full bar that includes frozen boozy drinks...because New Orleans! We checked into our nearby hotel a bit early in the day and was looking to hit the streets for a spot to get a chill/light breakfast, a coffee and maybe a cocktail. We found all the things at Luzianne Cafe. Whether you belly up to the bar or grab a table, both of which are first come first serve, you start at the counter where you order, pay and grab your table number. It appears that during busy times they allow you to sit first and order from the QR at your table, this is an assumption given the code to order at the table, but the sign at the entry directed folks to the counter to order before sitting. For breakfast, we got the breakfast biscuit which came with eggs, bacon and cheese, and sided it with grits. The breakfast sandwich was solid, eggs were a bit soft and grits were more mealy than we are used to, but I think that may be authenticity of the area more than anything. I opted for the three option omelet with onion, sausage and gouda plus a side of sausage links. The omelet, though odd sounding combination turned out to be solid. Maybe it was my options, but it was decently "one note" in flavor. I tossed a little hot sauce on and that helped. However, while the sausage links were not much to look at, they were tasty, with a nice snap to the casing and meaty inside. To go with our breakfast, I got a cold brew with a splash of almond milk while my partner embraced NOLA and started his day with a bourbon sour. Both of us enjoyed our choices! Service was friendly and helpful at the counter/bar. The food runner was nice and then another member, assuming the Manager, that stopped by to check on us mid meal. She was super friendly and nice. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and drinks at Luzianne. Minor things noted, mainly on the cook of the eggs, but nothing awful. It his the spot and checked the boxes!

    Came here for an early breakfast with my toddler and service was super friendly. Food was…read moredelicious, place had a lot of seating. I went by their recommendations and got the boudin Benedict, since that's not something I would find outside of NOLA. Got a huge sausage egg and cheese sandwich with the fluffiest eggs that was also super yummy. My 18 month old ate half of it. Would definitely return.
