Judit was the best server- we had the best meal with kind and considerate attention. Thank you for a great breakfast!

What we thought would be a 15 minute wait turned into 5 minutes! The food was phenomenal!! I struggled to choose what I wanted and the waitress was so helpful! I chose the shrimp and grits and it did not disappoint! The hubby had the trifecta and really enjoyed it, especially the pulled pork! Wow! One teenager had the southern breakfast with a peaches and cream pancake and he was more than satisfied from taste and portions! The other teen had bud hits and gravy and enjoyed them! The iced latte was delicious! read more

The food was fantastic! Misty was our server and she was very friendly. We had 5 people and didn't have trouble getting in.

We came in on a Sunday morning looking for a great place to Brunch. We joined the waitlist from our hotel room (seriously recommend doing so) and walked to the hotel when it showed our wait time was around 15 minutes or so. I think we ended up waiting around 30 minutes to get a table, but way better than waiting an hour plus if we didn't join the online waitlist. We ended up getting seated along with 2 other tables, a 2 top and a 4 top. We put in our orders and the drinks came right away. The food however took 45 minutes which was way too long. When we asked our server, Roni, they mentioned, very dismissively, that another table who was sat before us didn't get their food yet either. Although this was true, both the 2 and 4 top that sat at the same time as us had their food. Even the table next to us, who sat after us had their food. Their tables had a different waiter who was providing excellent service--updates on their food, checking in on them, etc. We were jealous of the service other tables were getting. The food itself was decent. We're from New York and love our brunch. The Eggs Benedict was a 3.5/5, with Spinach thrown hastily on the plate. The other dish was a little too sweet - 2/5. read more

There's always a wait at the Ruby Slipper, because the food and drinks are worth every minute you wait. We eat here every time we visit NOLA and the menu continues to evolve. Because they get super packed, service can get a little tricky but it's not due to laziness. With so many people to serve, they could use someone who's checking tables for drinks and another bartender or two. There was only 1 there this time. read more

Skye was wonderful- got our order and drinks out quickly and gave wonderful recommendations!! More than 5 stars

This is my second time eating here, and I got to say to be right on the middle of the beaten path still pretty good, the wait staff was amazing, the biscuits and gravy are the best ones I ever had, could't get enough of it so I ask the waitress for a side of extra gravy thats how good was it read more

Chris was our waiter and he was so polite, kind and very helpful. Food came out pretty fast.

Stopped by this place on our last day before heading to the airport and my goodness it did not disappoint for our last NOLA meal. We started out with the seasonal pumpkin marshmallow beignets and holy crap were they delicious! Beignets with marshmallow and pumpkin cheesecake covered in pecans! This is a must try. For our mains- I had the sweet heat chicken and French toast bites. This was the perfect combo of sweet and heat. The chicken was perfectly flaky and crispy. What a delicious bite. My husband had the seasonal creole cochon tacos which were tortillas filled with slow-cooked pork, bacon onion jam, Creole slaw, pico de gallo, pickled red onions topped with pork rind. The pork rind was my favorite part. The service was great, food came out quickly and the restaurant had a very bright, upbeat vibe. This is definitely a must try place. Recommend to get here early because it gets busy! read more

Good food, great service but OH-MI-GAWD - the NOISE. Had to shout across the table to talk. Measured it with my iwatch at 80 decibels. Oh and there is a fire station down the street that was NOT helping. read more

We called ahead and had a table right away- but it was outside we we declined and went back into the que. About 20 minutes later, we had an inside table. We ordered off of the seasonal menu. The French toast was stuffed with a cream cheese mixture, which was also in the dish with the beignets. A friend at the table order the white chocolate bread pudding pancake, which was definitely the best breakfast at our table. The iced coffee was sweet, creamy, and delicious. The restaurant was very loud, but the food and service were both good and worth the wait. Tip: Call ahead to get on the waitlist, but when you check in, be certain to note whether or not outside will work for you. read more

Our go to breakfast spot in New Orleans. Great variety of food and specialty drinks.

I always try to get in a breakfast at the Ruby Slipper when in New Orleans. The food and service was great as always.

The service was fine. The food was less than average tasting. It wasn't terrible... But it was by no means good. Although, I need to correct that... The beignets were terrible. With so many amazing places in the city to eat, this was not a place I would go to again or recommend. read more

Breakfast choices are outstanding. Tasty and it fills your belly. Had great waitresses and service. So good we went two days in a row.

Food and service were fantastic!!! Literally everything was great. Sweet heat chicken and french toast bites and the bread pudding pancakes. read more

I appreciated the non-pork breakfast options. The coffee was delicious, and the service was good. This spot is small and busy, so get on the wait list. The walls are colorful, and this place oozes NO flavor. read more

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

Bomb breakfast! It's a must visit when in the area, and it was on Diner, Drive-in, and Dives. GLOWS: - Service is efficient although not very personal - just due to the fast pace and volume of customers, especially if you are at the bar area. - Great biscuits and gravy -A wide variety of menu options, including breakfast meats GROWS: -There are no reservations, and there is always a wait. The wait requires you to stand outside and stay near by because they give you limited time to get back before they give your table away. -The vibe is cute, but it is not the most covid friendly environment with the close seating. read more

Food (5/5 stars): Ruby Slipper is my absolute favorite restaurant in New Orleans. If you're visiting the city, you must give any of their locations are a try, even if the wait is abysmal. I couldn't decide between the Eggs Cochon and Chicken St. Charles so my server recommended the Peacemaker, which gave me the chance to try both! I was on cloud 9; there was an explosion of flavor in every bite. The pork on the Eggs Cochon was so tender and flavorful and blended in harmony with the hollandaise and poached egg. But I slightly preferred the Chicken St. Charles because the chicken was cooked to perfection. It was juicy and had the perfect amount of spice and seasoning. I *implore* you to try Ruby Slipper! Experience (5/5 stars): * Price: very reasonably priced * Wait Time: the wait is almost always ridiculous due to its popularity, so make sure to join their online waitlist beforehand. Service is a little slow, but the food is VERY worth the wait. * Service: great and friendly! With how busy they are, they are still so attentive to your needs and provide excellent service. * Ambiance: this location was small and charming. I loved the decorations and the concept of the restaurant. They have indoor and outdoor seating. * COVID Safety: they check for vaccination card. read more

We didn't discover this spot til our last morning in NOLA. I'm bummed we didn't find only sooner.

This was our last breakfast stop before leaving the colorful French Quarter or New Orleans and we were not disappointed. Our 11 and 10 year old raved about the eggs Benedict and saying it's the best they have had. Our server had great suggestions for us on what to order. She was friendly and communicated when our food started to take a little longer. However we were lucky, the chef came out to check on us he knew what everyone ordered, even will plates that looked licked clean. My husband got the shrimp and grits and I had the fried catfish and grits. The chef let us know it took a little longer because he was cooking those to perfection. They were!! Both dishes were phenomenal. The location is just as colorful as the surrounding area and our sons had a delicious experience. Looking for a breakfast spot make sure you stop by the Ruby Slipper. read more

Those eggs Benedicts are amazing. I did the Trifeca, and couldn't choose a favorite. All were so good, my wife and I both can't wait to go back and eat there again. read more

Hands down the best breakfast I have ever eaten in New Orleans. We were a party of 4 and all ordered different meals. Every one of us said the same thing kit was the best breakfast we have had in New Orleans. We are tourist traveling but are well rehearsed in the food of the French Quarter as we come often. Service was excellent and the preparation and presentation of the food was over the top. They get you in and out quick. Forgot to add they are the only restaurant we ate in which did not up their prices because it was Mardi Gras read more

Pro: service is good and breakfast is tasty. Grow: wait times On my recent trip to New Orleans I walked by Ruby slipper cafe and was intrigued by the long line. The menu is mainly breakfast southern inspired. Good shrimp and grits are hard to find in California and I knew I had to wait in line. I was traveling alone this morning and I was luckily able to skip the line and sit at the bar. The bar tender was very nice and welcoming. Food: shrimp and grits were sooo tasty! The sauce was flavorful and the dish included bits of pork and shrimp. I wished there were a few more shrimp and less pork bits as I found them a bit too over powering. The grits are served in a cool dish with a side of biscuit! I also tried the New Orleans iced coffee which was cool and not sweet at all (just how I like it). Overall, this is a cool diner to check out in New Orleans. The menu is perfect for those wanting the southern flavors of New Orleans. Wait times can be a little long so plan ahead. read more

We used the waiting list and when we got to the resturant based on the time it said, they told us it was wrong and we had to wait an hour. Poor system, so please get it fixed. read more

Wonderful! Chris is a great server. Magical attitude. Absolutely lovely human! We enjoyed eggs Cochon and just about everything else we ordered we loved. You will not be disappointed here. read more

The fried chicken breast is so good it's ruined all other fried chicken for me forever .

One of the absolute food highlights of our trip to New Orleans, the biscuits and gravy are the finest I've ever had in a restaurant. Just sensational. I felt happier and, possibly, smarter after I ate them. They were that good. A fried green tomato on the side is a wise and tasty choice as well. The biscuits and gravy here should be used in peace negotiations and treaties worldwide - eating this solves all problems. (I only ate here once; I'm sure eating them every day might CREATE problems, but let's not get ahead of ourselves) I was just as effusive in my praise during the meal, and our server seemed to understand...maybe everyone else reacts this way. Tip #1: to avoid crowds, show up for a later lunch before they close - it's not nearly as crowded. Tip #2: the life-giving biscuits and gravy. read more

We were so excited to try this place and it did not disappoint! As soon as we arrived, we put our name down for the wait list and were told it would be a 45 minute wait. While we waited outside more and more people arrived, definitely a popular spot! The hostess was amazing. She was extremely busy, but was so patient and friendly with everyone who came up to her. After about an hour and 15 minutes, we were seated and our order was taken right away. We both ordered mimosas, I got the hot smoked salmon and my partner ordered the braised ribbed Benedict (which he loved!). We were so hungry that I forgot to take a full picture of our food and only captured a bit - yes, I am that person who loves to take pictures of food before I eat it. Although they were super busy, the staff provided excellent service all around. So glad we were able to try this spot! read more

another must try when in nola! I joined the waiting list around noon, and we didn't get in until around 1pm. ruby slipper was incredibly busy the whole time, and their menu offered so much. I got the trifecta, which is a benedict sampler. it was perfect for the indecisiveness in me. the bayou shrimp might have been my least favorite because it has a strong tomato base, but it was still pretty good. the cochon was tasty, tender, and sweet, and my favorite had to be the fried chicken one. it was crispy and the chicken, hollandaise and egg worked so well with the biscuit. the service was a bit slow, but the restaurant was so busy and chaotic, so I can't blame them. read more

Enjoyed breakfast here this morning again - the 6 of us. Put our name on the online list at 8:55am and was given an estimated time of 20 minutes. Arrived @ 9:10 and checked in and was texted at 9:18am that our table was ready! Enjoyed the berry pancakes, the French toast, the Bananas Foster French Toast, the Tacos and some side items. All were really great, as we expected. Server lived in Fort Worth a few years ago and we chatted about various great places we knew in common in the Fort Worth area. Will be back again - hopefully not so long between. read more

When you come to New Orleans this is a must!! Pros: The food was delicious! The staff was all nice, accommodating, and just showed that Southern Hospitality!! I love it! Especially the front door host who checks you in! Very personable. The food was superb! Everything my party and I ordered was on point. I started with the pig candy bacon bites! One of my friends ordered the fried green tomatoes!! They looked really good (I can't eat tomatoes). Another friend ordered the French toast bites, she didn't have any complaints. For my entree, I ordered the sweet heat chicken and French toast bites! Everything was on point. The French toast bites were fluffy and that chicken was enough heat and sweet! Just delicious! I forgot to mention that the drinks are good with a nice amount of alcohol! I recommend putting your name on the waitlist because it does get crowded! I'm overly pleased with this restaurant! I was also surprised by a birthday song from the staff at the end of my meal! read more

Visited on a weekday morning and there was a long wait but the staff was really nice. Our server was nice and got our order correct and out to us quickly. Because it is so busy it can feel crowded and small. I tried not to move from our booth to avoid bumping into people at other tables. Four stars only because the food was good but nothing outstanding. I've had other omelettes that were more memorable in the city. read more
