Always love a Ruby Slipper visit since first trying it years ago in New Orleans (and there may have been just that location at that point...). First time to the Destin location and was not disappointed at all. Same pleasant, vibrant atmosphere as I've seen at other locations. Service was friendly and attentive, also a staple. Food, also as expected, was excellent (went with the Eggs Cochon this time...basically a magical riff on an Eggs Benedict with savory pork over a biscuit topped with perfectly poached eggs and hollandaise...and some greens in there too, so there's even a dash of healthiness!). The other bennies are also incredible, and I heartily endorse doing the option to try two or three. I've always found the omelets to be quite satisfying too. A decent selection of brunchy cocktails rounds things out nicely (several mimosa options, the breakfast margarita is refreshing), and some non-alcoholic choices of course (good coffee options). Stop in, start your day right. And they can get crowded, so don't be shy about using the waitlist option on Yelp! read more

Catie at Ruby Slipper was absolutely amazing! From the moment we sat down, she brought such a fun, upbeat energy that instantly set the tone for a great experience. She was super attentive without being overbearing, checked in at all the right moments, and made sure everything we needed was handled flawlessly.

Food was very bland, potatoes were cold and overcooked. Eggs had no flavor whatsoever. However our waiter was very nice and the beignets were good. But we will not be returning. We spent $50 and didn't even eat half of our food. read more

I have been to a Ruby slipper in New Orleans and was excited to see a new location in this area, which I frequent. There were two of us for a late breakfast, and the menu appeared to be similar to what we were accustomed to in Louisiana. The ambience was, a bit tired and felt dingy. I'm not sure what changes had been made after taking over from the former restaurant tenant. All in all our meal was decent. But the thing that stood out was the service. Our waitress did not seem to be really interested and Checking on us or getting our order. We came in hungry and ready to eat and we were there well over an hour and a half just due to her, not checking on us and not taking our order in a timely manner. It was one of those scenarios where we had to try and waive her down and eventually had to ask one of the other weight staff to locate our waitress. I hope that our poor experience is limited and we plan to return on a future trip. read more

The food and the service where amazing! Prices seemed reasonable. We had boozy coffee, biscuits and gravy, French toast bites and Minga skillet. So good! Our waitress was a doll. We will definitely go back before our trip is over. read more

I gave this place another chance after saying I wouldn't be back 2 years ago. It could be that it's September 30th and/or I am traveling alone and walked right up to the bar, but this time they did get it right. I love breakfast tacos and theirs was really good. I got it with cheese grits. The bartender was very attentive and nice. The place was quiet and nice. read more

What a fabulous little diner to grab something to eat and surprisingly they also have good drinks. We went for breakfast and were greeted and seated immediately. The ambience was light and pleasant and it was a perfect place for a great breakfast on the beach. I had the shrimp omelette and it was very large and full of seafood. My friend had the Meat omelette and it was very large as well. They also had pretty decent grits. I like that they had a lot of cocktails as well as mock-tails to choose from. The Irish coffee was amazing and they had a nice pour of whiskey inside. They also had a fantastic mocha and the whipped cream is thick, rich and delicious. In fact, you could tell that the whipped cream is homemade.and every single drop is delicious. I really enjoyed this place and I would definitely return again. read more

We visited here twice on our trip for a wedding. We were lucky enough to get Annalesa both times as our server! She was super sweet and even remembered what we ordered from our first visit (we went with a day between). Best service we had all weekend! The food was great. We had omelettes, migas, and chicken sandwich. Pumpkin spice latte (soooo good) and the Eras flight. Everyone complimented the food. The atmosphere is low key, cute decor, and just all around lovely. Definitely would recommend visiting here! read more

ALL the food was delicious! Why aren't they in Texas Found out the place originated from Louisiana, specifically New Orleans (no wonder the food tasted great)! Service was great as Ms. Megan was quite pleasant and patient (we had 4 kids in our table with 5 adults). Ambiance was basic + - nothing fancy but there were a few extra things here and there (cool sayings, wall display case). Overall, we'd be back! Mimosa Flight was delicious (watermelon was my fave). Pancakes (with the whiskey sauce) set a new expectation for all my future pancakes! Everything else was as expected! All in all, thoroughly impressed and didn't expect to be! Nice Job! A1 read more

This is a great place! I had the Migas this trip it was flavorful and good. The hubby did not love his biscuits and gravy, I liked it I feel like it was just a touch off the southern sausage gravy that he is used to. Our server was Jillian was friendly and on top of things. The bloody marys were ok, but nothing to write home about. In my opinion the star of the show was the tater tot starter. The apple braised pork on these things was amazing and tender. This is where two people at the same table can have radically different feelings about the same dish. It was not at all what my husband expected and he did not care for the "stringy gloopyness" of the pork. Oh well, more for me. This is a great place to try if you are looking for a hearty breakfast in Destin. read more

Apparently this is a chain in south Florida, and I'm glad I found it. First, take this review with a large grain of salt, as I'm a sucker for brunch. That said, it's so good. I had French toast bites with fried chicken and hot honey/syrup with strawberries. Damn. So good. Get extra sauce because there's never enough. It was sweet, little punch and the chicken was perfectly fried. Southern perfection. My son got the French toast bites and both of ours were awesome. I don't know how they got them so crispy but also perfectly soft in the middle like French toast. The 3 year old finished the plate! The prices were reasonable and service was absolutely outstanding. This is what you want brunch to be. Inside it's like any other breakfast spot as far as decor and style, but don't be fooled, they are far from average on flavor! We're going back again tomorrow and we will likely make this a regular stop when in the pan handle! read more

You just can't beat the Pig Candy bacon. So so good! Hubs and I both got the Pick 2 Bennies babies it's so hard to choose. We both got the Peacemaker, which allowed us to choose 2 off the Bennies. The biscuits are light and fluffy; the poached eggs were pure perfection. Service was really good, Tamesha, was very helpful and made sure our every needs were met. This site was very clean and had some witty signage on the walls. A little like a diner but again very clean and sharp looking. Looking forward to eating at the one in New Orleans when we visit later this year read more

Such a delight/pleasant surprise to find out that there was a ruby slipper in Florida. The only location that I'm aware of is the one in New Orleans, so this was a pleasant surprise. Cannot go wrong with any of their dishes. Although we were in a complete different state, the hospitality was no different than what we were received in Louisiana. The food was delicious and we definitely left with a full stomach and then some! It was a first time to get their candied bacon, only complaint is that I didn't get unlimited amounts lol I kept it simple with one of their cheesy ham and bacon omelettes which was del ious and packed with lots of meat. Biscuits were buttery and soft per usual read more

The food was amazing. I would definitely recommend the costa rican breakfast plate. It comes with black beans, white rice, chorizo sausage, your choice of eggs and fried plantains. It's also topped with a red tomato salsa. It was very flavorful and not spicy for people who don't like spice. Definitely get some pancakes on the side. They are to die for. Please give this place a try. read more

Adorable southern diner with excellent breakfast. We were staying near by on vacation and had driven past Ruby Slipper. We decided to try them out and I'm so glad we did! I was so excited to eat that I forgot to take pictures. We ordered coffee and breakfast plates. I had 2 fried eggs with grits, potatoes and toast. I asked for the bacon to come on a separate plate (vegetarian). I was in the restroom when the food came out and it was dropped off by a food runner. The bacon was on my plate, on top of the eggs. The waitress came by before I came out and asked my husband if it was ok that bacon was on my plate. She was happy to take it back and ask the chefs to re-do the eggs. This is sometimes an incredibly awkward situation because not every restaurant is ok with taking food back to the kitchen for a seemingly minor reason. It was so refreshing to return to the table to find out that it was already being taken care of. I wish I could recall the waitresses name! When my food was ready, it came out fresh and delicious. My husband ordered a French toast skillet and he loved it. They had a brunch cocktail menu that looked really good. We weren't in the mood for cocktails unfortunately but would try them next time. I would highly recommend and return! read more

Always so good ... great food and great service! There is something for everyone to choose from! From Dad getting a combo (where you can choose if their signature dishes) to chicken and French toast bites for the boys! This has become a must to go for breakfast when we visit Destin! Today we went to celebrate our daughter 15th birthday.... Avocado toast is her favorite and Ruby Slipper hit the mark! Julianna was a great server which made our experience even more enjoyable! We will see you again! read more

I decided to stop by this cute little breakfast spot in breakfast & it was great! The service was amazing, our server was very knowledge and eager to answer any questions that we had to ask. I started off with the Candied Bacon & it was so tasty that I had to order a second one! The Bayou Benedict was also tasty but just wasn't my favorite I thought it was going to be more of like a Cajun creole sauce but nonetheless it was still good. I will be back before my trip is over :) read more

Wow!! This place was incredible! The service with Jillian was top notch. She was attentive, kind, and welcoming. Our food and any requests we had came promptly. The ambiance was very welcoming and friendly. And then there's the actual taste of the food... holy moly! The biscuits were light, fluffy, and delightful. My husband and sister had the trifecta and they couldn't stop drooling. They said each Benny was better than the next. I think their favorite was the shrimp but I've never seen them eat quite so quickly. Amazing experience here! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! And I'll cross my fingers that you get Jillian because she was the best! read more

Shrimp and grits were watery as soup. Even the bartender who recommended the shrimp n grits said " oh theyre usually good..im sorry. Yes. They are pouring off the spoon. I returned them, hoping to get some fn grits and shrimp. Nope. They came back and said ALL THE GRITS ARE RUNNY TODAY, THE WHOLE POT. The best thing was the Bacon infused bloodymary and the 2 bartenders. I'm NEVER RETURNING. A CHEF WHO KNOWINGLY SERVES WATERY GRITS ALLLLLL DAY? MAYBE should rethink the menu. read more

Wow, what a great brunch place!!! I have been wanting to check this place out for awhile now..but we live 40 minutes away and don't really ever feel like driving that far for breakfast. I can tell you, next time we want a good breakfast, we'll make the drive...it was that good!!! Everybody loved what they got. I ordered a hot chocolate...and wow, seriously the fanciest hot chocolate I think I've ever had. I ended up sharing it with my kiddo, and he said it was the best hot chocolate ever! It was yummy! Then we ordered the beignets...they were delicious. The kids meal was really reasonable $6 if I remember right. My son got the cinnamon swirl pancakes and they were seriously AMAZING! I got the ranchero omelette and it was great. Hubby got the biscuits and gravy and hot honey chicken as an add on. He let me try it and it was really good! We will definitely be back. They need to open up one of these in Navarre. I bet it would be a big hit! :) read more

I do think we will visit this place once more. The food and the vibes were 5 stars and worth another visit while we are vacationing here in the great state of Florida! read more

Great service, upbeat server who put everyone on a good mood. Maybe her name was Amber? The Nashville hot egg Benedict is a stomach filler and tastes great. We also got the French toast bites to pair with the hotness from the Nashville hot. read more
