Their eggs Benedict's are amazing. Their food was declined. Highly recommend. We were so hungry we forgot to get pictures. The bacon bites were great too!! Service was fast and friendly. We did the join the waitlist too before we came. read more

Service was excellent, food was delicious! Got the BLT with egg and the classic breakfast sandwich. Both incredible. Absolutely recommend!

Food was great- Get you a bloody, the Migas, and a pancake! Service was a little slow but not enough to get aggravated, our drinks took the longest. Great outdoor space if the weather is nice! Get on the wait list ahead of time they are busy as soon as they open but you can hold your place in line and check in upon arrival. read more

We have had so many amazing things to eat here! The tots, French toast bites, the original and specialty pancakes are all amazing. I've had the amazing pumpkin cheesecake stuffed French toast OMG. I've also had the white chocolate pancakes and the praline pancakes all delicious. Service is always good ! I highly recommend this place! read more

The food is amazing! The menu is wild, full of far more options than I was prepared for and I loved it! The staff are all the sweetest people. The bathrooms 2 days in a row have not been ideal. read more

Got the trifecta eggs benny and I gotta say my favorite was the fried chicken and pulled pork. It was perfectly sauced with hollandaise. My fried chicken wasn't as "fried" as my friends and I could definitely taste a difference. Other than that, great ambiance and the servers were friendly as usual. read more

The food was amazing and customer service and the ambiance was great! I will go back.

Really good brunch place. Loved their fried green tomatoes. And biscuits and gravy are tasty! The half and half Benedict's options are great if you want to try two different bennies. They serve French Truck coffee. This place is swamped. But one great thing about it is that they let you join the waitlist on Yelp. Service isn't super fast. But it's great. read more

Tried the bourbon milk punch (first time) it sounded tempting. I'll know it kicked in if I stroke down the quarter after brunch lol Of course I had to have the southern breakfast. I have gotten so use to grits living in California but truly southern inside. Service great. It's like eating with the family at Thanksgiving. Oh do not put sugar on the grits like one lady did. The whole place took up cause. It was friendly and do t mess with the grits here HELLO lol Ambiance. At first I was concerned that a lot of construction going on in front and stop lights out. This is the place to go to very spacey nice Oops after the burning milk punch. I'm heading to the quarter now just kidding or am I. Well this is a must stop from Lloyd O. read more

Had an exceptional breakfast experience here! They offer both indoor seating at tables and the bar, as well as cute outdoor seating with umbrellas. Be prepared for some wait times, but their online line queue system helps to make it manageable. The service for food/drinks was surprisingly quick despite how busy they were. --Shoutout to Quinten, our super friendly server! The biscuits and gravy with chicken were absolutely incredible - and the portions were massive! A must-visit spot for breakfast/brunch lovers. read more

Delicious New Orleans brunch! I had shrimp with grits and highly recommend. Cute restaurant right in the heart of it all.

The wait time is ridiculously long; we waited for 50 minutes, then got text that table is ready, went to hostess to be told to wait in another line- so another 20 minutes or so of waiting. We got our table, got mimosas flight ( delicious except for apple pie- i hate cinnamon personal preference), biscuits and gravy, trifecta. The food was delicious, the drinks were good; house was was meh. The service was good too read more

It was just ok, the food was really oily. It's kind of gross eating eggs with dripping orange grease/oil. No coffee refreshed, we were the bad kids in the corner. read more

Look. I wanted to like this place. I really did. Breakfast is my favorite meal when on vacation. I'll begin with the positives. The service: amazing. Friendly, attentive, great. No complaints. The sweet tea? Best I had while in New Orleans. The restaurant itself was cute and clean. My meal though was a bit off. I ordered the Tex mex egg thing, Migas. It has eggs, pico, cheese, chorizo. I order these kinds of things all the time at restaurants. When mine came it was super soggy. The eggs were soupy. They were also a bit bland. Chorizo tasted ok but as a first meal before you go about walking in 95 degree weather and 60% humidity, I didn't want soggy eggs in my stomach. I didn't eat much. The texture just didn't sit right. My husbands meal was fine. But...meh. It was just.....bad. Sorry, this seems like a favorite in the area but a pass for me. There are sooooo many other great places to get breakfast. read more

The pulled pork eggs Benedict and bread pudding pancakes are incredible!!!!! Places is very busy, but worth the wait. Recommend getting on waitlist so you can be seated when you arrive. It's our favorite breakfast/brunch restaurant in NOLA. read more

The hostess put her finger in her ear and started to shake/scratch while "itching" her throat by making that weird noise. A waitress kept stealing ice every time she walked by the side machine to pop in her mouth and the bartender kept scratching her scalp... It was hard to enjoy anything with all of the scratching going on. read more

First of all, make sure you "join the waitlist" online before showing up, when you get there, check in with the hostess so they know you're there. By doing that, your wait time will be around 45 minutes. If you show up and then get on the waitlist, you could be waiting like 2 hours!!! While you wait outside, there is a lady who at least takes cocktail/coffee orders and you might get lucky and see some live entertainment in the street depending on the day. We went on a Friday for brunch. Yummy menu options, indoor and outdoor seating available. The food was good, but I wouldn't ever wait longer than 45 minutes anywhere, there's just way too many places to eat in NoLa for me to ever wait that long. The coffee was good. The chicken was bomb. The fried French toast and also the biscuit and gravy was just okay...I did hear a lot of people say the shrimp and grits are amazing, but I didn't try it. I'd definitely come back to try more items on the menu if I was in the area depending on wait times. read more

Came here yesterday with my daughter and had a few complaints. Everything was okay but the eggs. Their scrambled eggs taste very weird and are overcooked! I got their Irish mocha coffee and it was good enough, has an interesting aftertaste though. My daughter's hot chocolate was a little weak but she enjoyed it. Their bacon is delicious, the pancakes are a little overcooked and do not come with butter. They don't do hashbrowns :( It was okay but won't be back. read more

Need I say more... Chicken and shrimp egg Benedict's. And best of all, they made a mistake on one so we got a free one! read more

Food was horrible as was the bloody Mary with bacon vodka. However the staff was GREAT. So sad New Orleans is gone, not the same anymore. Commercial and over priced, used to be wonderful, did the millennials move in and ruin it? So sad. read more

Terrific service by Donavan. Fried catfish and grits were terrific. The grits were so creamy. Tasty Bloody Mary as well.

The loaded tastier tots are a MUST GET - absolutely worth getting. It's a small enough portion where you can still have your meal but with such a huge flavor sensation in your mouth. The juicy pork and the combination of bacon and tater tot ratio was heaven. Probably the best thing they have. We put ourselves on the waitlist by calling which was clutch because as soon as we got there we maybe only waited 5 mins to sit out of a 45min wait from the time we started the waitlist. Definitely call ahead the answering machine auto adds you to the waitlist. Highly recommend. We saw some folks just arrive in front of us and they were pissed they had to wait the whole 45mins. We ordered classic breakfast and beef brisket Benedict with the apple pie stuffed French toast. I'd say they were alright. The best of those was probably the French toast which I'd recommend. Brioche bread always is amazing with a pound of syrup. Beef brisket was too dry so if you can do the pork instead if you prefer a juicy experience. It's pretty walking friendly since it was so close to our hotel but easy to find. Just look for the ruby slipper sign out front. Mimosas were ok. Ordered the ruby mimosa waiting for a sweet taste since they add pomegranate but just tasted like a regular mimosa so I'd pass on that next time. Otherwise, great atmosphere. They have inside and outside dining. Everyone you could tell was having a good time. Such a friendly staff. Our waitress even asked what he had planned for the day and made some solid recommendations. Music and decor was cool to look at too. read more

My favorite breakfast or brunch place! They have the BEST benedicts- and if you are having a tough time deciding you can order "the peacemaker" and get one of each of two of them! I usually get "one tomato two tomato" and the bayou shrimp bennies. Or bring a friend and order the trifecta with three different bennies! read more

Delicious and worth the wait. We put our name on the waitlist and walked around the French quarter and it was definitely worth it. The biscuits and gravy were delicious and had w egg whites--so good. Yummy mimosas too. Great service from all and lots of energy in the cozy space. read more

The food was incredible. The best biscuits we've ever had, thanks to Prince, the young man that makes them by hand. Our server, Jennie, was spectacular! Good came out fast, and everything was delicious. A fun atmosphere. If you don't visit The Ruby Slipper on your trip to New Orleans, you are missing out. Do yourself a favor and order the trifecta, you will not be disappointed. The French toast bites must be made with some kinda magic because they were delicious! read more

Talor was amazing.Food was fantastic. We got the Trifecta and it was so worth it. Its a sampler of Bennies. The biscuits and gravy was also fantastic to break up the bennies. Loved the sweet tea....this misplaced Yankee misses good southern sweet tea. The reviews are deserving here. read more

Great service, and Amazing food. The wait wasn't as long as quoted so that was awesome!

First things first, CBD means central business district. We sat outside and took in the beautiful morning. Traditional breakfast fare with creative adaptations of several dishes and top notch drinks. Highly recommend. read more

Really bad service. It seemed busy to the point that servers appeared overwhelmed and disinterested. FYI - they have zero idea what gluten free is so don't even try :) read more

Great food, service and decor. Our server was amazing and I wish I remembered his name. I had a black iced coffee and it was the the 2nd best coffee I had while visit NOLA. My husband had the trio Benedict and I had the shrimp and grits. Amazing! I also had a biscuit with the cane butter and it was such a great combo of sweet and salty. Kid friendly and the cocktails looked great although we didn't partake in that. We will definitely return here if we visit Nola again read more

Another great breakfast/brunch spot in the Garden District. Service is very hospitable and friendly ambiance. Stayed away from the typical fried food this time and went with the Grilled fish St Peter, which was delicious. Also had the Vanilla ice coffee as a bonus. Everything on the menu looked good and would be worth trying, but my stomach can only take so much. One of many good food spots in NOLA. read more

A busy location but they did a good job working their way through the customers. My waitress did an excellent job but the French toast was delivered by a runner and didn't include syrup or butter. A good choice of drinks to go with breakfast and an inviting atmosphere with wrap around the corner sidewalk seating options read more

It is a fun brunch place. A bit loud, with an old fashioned tin ceiling. Lots to choose from- it puts a southern tang on the usual brunch items such as eggs, Benedict. But it has Bellini's and bloody Mary's galore. I enjoyed my eggs Benedict on a biscuit instead of English muffin. Go for the ambience and the general friendly feel. read more

Some of the best food in New Orleans! This place is as magic as Dorothy's slippers. We came here 2 days in a row. Terrific Benedicts, great biscuits and sausage gravy, the hot honey biscuits and chicken is outrageously good and the pancakes are unlike any I've had before. I don't even know how to describe how good they are. I defy you to find better. This will be a must stop for us on every future NOLA trip. read more

This place is always packed! Just a block from my hotel, I always see hungry patrons waiting around for a spot. My friends and I went on a busy Saturday morning and were texted when our table was close to being ready. I enjoyed their bloody mary and it was unique that they had pickled string beans in it. Those were super delicious, crunchy and had that brine flavor that made the bloody mary great. Service was kind and good for being so busy. Egg benedicts were out favorite dish of the morning. read more
