Food was not good. We had to send our pancakes back because they were still liquid inside. Got the replacement pancakes and they were still not done in the middle. We did taste them and they tasted like old grease on a grill. Also packed with powdered sugar. Biscuits were hard and tough. Breakfast potatoes had clearly been cooked long before breakfast time; maybe even the day before. Also you are packed in to wherever you are sitting. Would not recommend. read more

Very friendly servers. But I got one of the bennie's, and while the biscuit and bacon were good, the poached egg was awful - hard as a rock. I would think if the benedicts are a big staple of their menu they should be able to poach an egg. If I wasn't in a rush, I would have sent it back. Maybe the sweet breakfasts are better. read more

I finally came to RS. We had reservations and it was pretty crowded. I ordered the eggs benny and they were pretty good. The Mimosa flights were perfect. I love the way you can mix and match food. I also ordered one P-Cake and it was good. The food and ambience is very mixed. read more

Not a terrific experience this morning. Food was just barely okay. My eggs in the breakfast tacos were watery and bland, and there was barely any bacon to notice. Tons of sauce and avocado, though if that's your thing. The wife's food was equally as mediocre. Service was not excellent. Waiter never came back after food came out and another employee cleared our table because our plates were stacked. read more

Not gonna lie, I had higher hope this spot. Tiktok gave me the insight for this place, so the girls & I decided to go as our last meal before our return flight. Upon entry, we were given a time frame of about an hour wait, which in reality was maybe half of that time. The staff moved fairly quickly with seating parties and our party of 4 was called soon. The establishment itself is crowded, a little tight on the inside. A lot of "excuse me" getting to our table. When we finally got our food, the food was... sadly average. All the girls at the table said their food was "okay". The catfish needed hot sauce, the grits weren't the best I've had. Just - literally average. Something to satisify the hunger desire. I guess we missed the hype. Because there are so many other brunch/breakfast spots to choose from in the surrounding area, I don't know if I would return unless someone requested us go and I just followed suite. read more

This was a great hole in the wall for breakfast. Sometimes the quarter is hot and crowded, but it was easy to get a table and the service was great. It's kind of funky and the food was delicious. I had the crab omelette and a highly recommended. read more

Was pretty pleased with my experience here. Was seated right away which was nice. I had the shrimp & grits (Carolina style) which came with a side biscuit and honey butter - really good. I also got the mimosa flight which was also good. I loved the different juice options as it wasn't just the basic orange/pineapple/cranberry. Waitress was nice and gave other restaurant recommendations as well. read more

First the staff here is very friendly and welcoming. Just because of that, I went back to this place the next day instead of Canal Street. I've been to Canal Street a long time ago, and I didn't have a bad experience there. But this last trip, I like the energy at this location (Decatur). On that note, I always get the Trifecta because it has a little bit of everything when it comes to their Bennies (Eggs Benedict with Biscuit) . Egg Cochon, Chicken Sr Charles, and Bayou Shrimp. I do prefer the Bayou Shrimp. But since I was going to eat all those carbs and calories, I always order a side of candies bacon. How could you not? Bacon and brown sugar. They have other locations all over the New Orleans. In addition to that, there are other location in the Gulf Coast. I been to Pensacola because I live there, but there's one in Mobile,AL , Orange Beach, SanDestin and Destin, FL. read more

Ruby Slipper is an adorable little restaurant with amazing food, and I definitely recommend stopping if you're visiting New Orleans! It was quite busy when we went (Mardi Gras time), so if you're going during brunch or a busy time like that, I suggest calling ahead or making a reservation online (join the waitlist on their website). The service was great and quick for how busy they were at the time. The atmosphere is fun and bright, with a giant red slipper sculpture on the wall to finish it off. I went with friends and I had the Chicken St. Charles, which is fried chicken over delicious, fluffy buttermilk biscuits, topped with two poached eggs and a creamy pork gravy sauce. It was so filling and tasty - I had to share with my friends to finish it off. We also had some Mardi Gras French toast that was covered in edible glitter sprinkles in Mardi Gras colors. The French toast was delicious with a sweet cream sauce inside. It also came with potatoes and sausage which were expertly cooked. The food, service, and vibe were all A+ in my book! read more

Even another server fame and brought our pups some treats thank you! Obviously we started with beignets, because when in Nola you know?? So good! So different, the have like a cheese texture inside i cant describe it but it was good!!! If i describe every plate it would be A M A Z I N G !! The benedicts were on point, the chicken and french toast OMG so crispy, spicy ughhhh i wanna repeat!! The mimosas flight were not my favorite because im just an OG mimosa girl but still try them.

Join the waitlist before you go because this place a little small but very popular. And for good reason! The food is very reasonably priced and everything we got was tasteful and richly flavored, as you'd expect in NOLA. The Trifecta was a standout for me because it let me try three of their eggs Benedict in one combination. I also loved the sweetness of the berry chantilly pancakes. The mimosa flight was a very fun way to start the day. I will definitely come back for brunch! read more

Glad I came to try this wonderful establishment while in town for a couple of days. I came in to try the gf French toast but ended up ordering the Eggs couchon Benedict. I was not disappointed but I would have liked to try both. Anyway, I arrived a little after 9am in a Saturday and sat at the bar. I didn't have to wait. The service was excellent and the coffee superb! I asked my server what their favorite dish was and they recommended the couchon bene so that's what I got! Definitely worth a try when you're in NOLA. read more

My friend who visited nola reccomded this place... I give it a 3 star, it's okay. Our server was great but The food was veryyyy salty. The loaded tots tasted like a salt shaker was accidently dumped into our food. I ordered the chicken and biscuit and the potatoes were salty, didn't need to add any salt to that.we also ordered the shrimp Benedict, the sauce was fine but the overall food was salty. read more

Still the best damn breakfast in NOLA. I hadn't been to this location before, and I actually think i prefer it to the Magazine Street location. The staff at this one were VERY outgoing and fun, and the food was still outstanding. Why would you go anywhere else in the French Quarter when you can go here? Seriously--why? Get down here and have the best breakfast you will have in the Crescent City. read more

Food was good, staff was friendly, wait was over an hour. Wished we added ourselves to the waitlist before we arrived.

Good was amazing and the wait was not too long for us to wait. I would definitely recommend to anyone.

Awesome food! Pretty quick service. If you want to eat here put yourself on the waitlist early otherwise you are waiting for a while.

I always saw this restaurant in passing, and I love trying new restaurants in New Orleans so I wanted to give them a try. I wasn't all that impressed. I started off with a boozy coffee drink and it was not good the chocolate was clashing with the Irish cream and something about the taste of the drink was off. My server was nice for the most part. The menu looked great so I ordered a decent amount off of it considering it was a solo date, and I regret wasting the money. The loaded tots was the best item I ordered. They were cheesy, savory and very flavorful. The shrimp and grits once again just tasted off. It's not like they weren't seasoned but its flavor profile was offputting. I also wanted to sample the cinnamon roll pancake. That was the biggest negative of the meal. The cake itself was tasty but personally I need either chocolate chips or a thick cream cheese glaze (in terms of this cinnamon roll pancake) to be satisfied. The glaze was honestly gross, the one thing that saved the pancake was the fact that I got a cinnamon butter. I can say with confidence I've been here once before and I don't have to come back again. read more

Went to the one on magazine street and they did not have bananas for the foster French toast so we came to this location and they have it ! It's a very nice casual restaurant with a nice deco and quick service. Ordered the banana foster French toast. Ordered without bacon and it came with bacon. They took it back to remove the bacon. As we were eating it, found a small piece of bacon under the toast. The bread is a little soaked with the syrup on the plate so not great. The banana is a little crunchy so great texture. Love the fact there is raisins on it. Overall rate this as a 3. read more

Great service and food! Go early to avoid a line! Staff is super nice, and the menu has just the right amount of options! I tried the mix and match Bennies (chicken and pork). These are so good... especially the fried chicken! They are served over biscuits so it's heavy, but worth it. Note the mix and match doesn't come with any sides (I think the other Bennies have a side salad). We also tried the seasonal Beignet (bc it's Nola, obviously). It was a lavendar lemon beignet - smaller than what you find at Cafe Beignet, but that's a plus. Just the right size! Didn't get much lavendar flavor but the lemon curd was so yum! Overall a cute little breakfast stop. I think I'll have to go back for the mimosa flight next time! Stay Cheerful read more

Five stars is the least of exaggeration of this empire of a breakfast and lunch location located in New Orleans, Louisiana. It always feel good to be home, but Ruby slipper never fails at making you feel like you are at grandma's house. The shrimp and grits are phenomenal. The texture of the grits is warm and has a great consistency and the seasons within the juices - marinates perfectly with the shrimp. We also ordered kids pancakes, which was huge in its proportion for the kids. I cannot exaggerate the smiles on the kid's face when eating a cinnamon swirl pancake dripped with powdered sugar in a glazed sauce on top. The biscuits, there are words that cannot explain the different tastes and the crispiness on the outside and the gooey soft cooked inside of this biscuit to match, but it is extraordinary to say the least. We come to this space once a year and we'll keep coming until the end of time. Ask for Misty!!! read more

Average diner/breakfast fare, least favorite beignets. Enjoyed parts of our meal, but nothing blew our minds. Would get the biscuits and gravy with the sweet fire chicken, and the fried green tomatoes again. Our server, Jaelyn, was super sweet and attentive. She made sure all of our items were correct and catered to the little ones. Normal diner ambiance. Loud and busy typical brunch environment. read more

Ruby Slipper Decatur - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Ruby Slipper Cafe is great if you want some good food and brunch vibes. I cannot complain about some delicious fried green tomatoes and egg Benedict's! I am never and still not crazy about tomatoes in general, but I love fried green tomatoes. They fry these tomatoes to a nice crisp, but it's not overpowering where all you taste is just a fried breading. The sauce they put on top is perfect to mix with the fried outer layer with the tomatoes. A perfect way to eat some veggies. There was no better way to try all their eggs Benedict than ordering the Trifecta. It comes with an Egg Cochon, Chicken St. Charles, and the Bayou Shrimp. I can't pick a favorite but my top two was the Chicken St. Charles and the Bayou Shrimp. The chicken was cooked very well and it was soft and juicy. It was a good mix with the egg and hollandaise sauce. The Bayou Shrimp came with a fried green tomato which was an icing on top. The Egg Cochon was my least favorite out of the three as I felt the braised pulled pork wasn't the best. Ruby Slipper Cafe was very delicious and a great brunch spot to eat some good food and possibly watch a football game. I couldn't get enough of their fried green tomatoes! read more

Super delicious food. Everything we ordered was amazing. The cinnamon pancakes are incredible.

the food here was phenomenal, the french toast bites and fried chicken was a flawless dish. The chicken was crispy and well seasoned and the french toast bites had a nice bit of spice but were crispy and sweet. I also go the shrimp and grits which wasn't the best I ever had but was still delicious. Buttery and packed with flavor overall. Service took around 30 minutes for to go but the place was packed. They have a separate area for to go as well and do it through a phone call so you don't have to sit there the entire time. Overall a great classic spot to visit for some breakfast. read more

Service was great and the food was very good. I ordered the Migas--it wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be, which was totally fine, and it was a lot of food. The biscuits and butter honestly could not have been better. The place was cute and had a really welcoming vibe. Would definitely come back! read more
