    Lafayette LOVES new restaurants and honestly, so do I. I was particularly excited about this new restaurant because I've been to the New Orleans location a few times and it always hits the spot. Met my girlfriends here for brunch and we all enjoyed our dishes. The menu is expansive-maybe a little too expansive-because they're just so many things that I wanted to try but went with what I would consider a safe choice which were their poached eggs, but I was lusting over my friends bananas foster pancakes, and next time I am definitely getting that. Service here was impeccable that day we had the cutest little waiter who was such a flirt and so much fun to flirt back with. I definitely recommend Ruby Slipper. I mean they're a New Orleans chain. How can you go wrong? It's New Orleans and although Lafayette has comparable restaurants, we love our New Orleans restaurants here and I will always make room for a Nola original.

    A tip of the hat to this New Orleans expansion with lots of breakfast delights, powdered sugar and strong coffee. Bittersweet as we bide goodbye to friends but filling as we journeyed home. Beware they don't short you on sugar or hospitality. I needed syrup for my white chocolate pancakes but they were delicious.

    Other than the booths being very uncomfortable to get in and out of and the very hard seats - this place is great! There's so many delicious sounding choices on their menu! It was hard to decide. Their choices of eggs Benedict is mouthwatering and makes it hard to choose. They seem to be very accommodating if you want to make small changes to the choices. I had the fried green tomato BLT that includes red tomatoes too. I didn't leave a single bite. I ordered cheese grits instead of the fries. SO GOOD!!! My husband ordered a plate of eggs, bacon and home fries. His plate was cleaned too! Just extremely great options and deliciously prepared! Highly recommend!

    Quick breakfast before a day out, the service here is great, along with the coffee. Great omelette with shrimp inside, and the grits were nice and creamy. The breakfast tacos were very filling and the avocado added to the eggs. The pancakes had butter with steen syrup which was really good and tasty. Great start to the morning.

    As a fan of Ruby Slipper from my visits to their New Orleans locations, I was excited to see them open in Lafayette This city is growing fast and a solid brunch spot like this was definitely needed One of the best features is the ability to check in and join the waitlist online With this being a new and popular addition to the food scene, the wait gets long, so this feature is a lifesaver The restaurant itself is in a newer plaza with a few other popular restaurants, but parking is tough Many people, including myself, ended up parking at Topgolf and walking over Not sure how sustainable that is in the long run, but for now, it works There's plenty of seating inside and some outdoor options as well Service was great I was helped by either Melissa or Jessica one of them was training and both were fantastic My food was just as good as I remembered from previous visits I had the catfish and grits, which were excellent the fish was crispy, well seasoned, and a great portion size I also ordered a single pancake just to taste, and it was delicious The only letdown was my lavender cocktail I forgot the exact name It was weak not even mild in strength so next time, I'll stick to a regular mimosa or a French 75 The pricing overall was fair and reasonable for what you get I'll definitely be back simply because Lafayette needed a brunch spot like this and Ruby Slipper delivers on food and atmosphere Just be prepared for parking challenges and long waits unless you check in online

    We decided to try the Ruby Slipper for our anniversary. I'll keep this short and to the point. We arrived at approximately 9:15 and sat promptly. Our drink order was taken around 9:40. We received our food around 10:08. My wife ordered a make your own omelette with mushroom, spinach, and onion. She received an omelette with no onion and bacon, which she removed before eating. I had the Bananas Foster, which was fine. Our server was nice, but the service and food overall was one of the worst dining experiences we've ever had. Very disappointing, especially considering this was supposed to be a special event meal.

    Peach and Cream Beignets(summer seasonal)

    Super excited. I love this restaurant in New Orleans. So happy it is in Lafayette now. Creole Breakfast. Mimosa flights are baller and have mocktails too. Had their seasonal Peach and Cream beignets and Bacon bites. Meal was Hot Chicken and French toast bites. Not too spicy, the mouth heat vs the heat sitting on your lips. Service great

    Build your own omelette with sausage and cheese, home fries, biscuit.

    Got in quickly on a Sunday. I do think it was right before the rush, as it was very cold, and they gave our party of three a large table. Ordered quickly, nothing really off menu. The omelette did have wrong ingredients, but he tasted it and was fine, didn't want to wait. Everyone was quite friendly, paid attention to us, lots of staff hustling around. I've been to both other locations, and the quality has absolutely transferred to this location. Quality ingredients and great taste. The biscuits and gravy are really my go to, silky texture is perfect. Parking is abundant, but do be careful on a crowded day, like Sunday, as there are other locations in the strip mall, and some people do not bother to look.

    I went here for the soft opening and had a pretty good time. Service was quick and the waitress was so sweet and friendly. Food was absolutely delicious. I really enjoyed my avocado bowl. There were only a couple of mishaps though. One of our drinks had a hair on it but that was resolved fairly quickly. There was also an issue with a machine that started blasting water everywhere. Everyone took it well and laughed it off. We even clapped afterwards when it was fixed. I had a great time!

    The food was delectable. The service was friendly and very accommodating. EJ made us feel at home. The atmosphere is busy with a fun vibe.

    just like the one on the French Quarter. lots of tables. lots of good food there . service was friendly and funny

    Started off with ordering a Nola Iced Coffee and received the Creamy Vanilla Spiced Iced Coffee. Although it wasn't what I ordered, it was good enough to drink the whole thing! Loaded Tots were okay, just too heavy to have for brunch. Tots were drowned in sauce and I wouldn't say that it's a "shareable" size as described on menu. Can feed two people max. Salmon Avocado toast was very refreshing and flavorful. 10/10 no complaints there! The Peacemaker was also great. I couldn't decide what I wanted to sit was nice to be able to build my own Benedict. In my option, the bayou was more flavorful than the chicken st Charles. Will absolutely get again. Our serve CC was very attentive and was very helpful with the menu. While waiting for our food, she even gave us cards with breakfast themed jokes to read through. All in all, we had a great experience! Great atmosphere as well.

    Food is not good. It's completely different than the New Orleans locations. Food was cold and the fried green tomatoes were tiny.

This cafe is simple but sooooo nostalgic, from the years of untouched decor to the down home vibes, this what Louisiana culture is all about, I love that there are so many folks that frequent this cafe that still speak the cajun french I grew up with and the food is off the chart and there's no doubt the kitchen loves dishing out traditional cajun cuisine, after all these years this place still has the magic. As soon as our server sat the bowl of grits on the table I knew we were in for something special, there's an art to preparing and serving them that so many places just can replicate - the omelette was amazing I was so torn on what to order because I wanted some of everything. Our server Laice was amazing although this was the first time we met she treated us like neighbors now that's definitely Louisiana hospitality. You'd be hard pressed to beat the atmosphere, the food or the exceptional customer service it just goes to show there still some authenticity if you know where to go - this will definitely be my go to breakfast place when in the area...

I had previously been…read moreto their downtown location, which I believe has since closed, so this visit was to the location off Ambassador Caffery. The interior of this location was very nice and welcoming. There was a good mix of seating options that seemed accommodating for both larger groups and smaller parties. The music selection was also enjoyable and added positively to the overall atmosphere. I ordered the shrimp and andouille omelette. I will say the presentation was very stark and uninteresting. Just based on how it looked, I would not have expected much from the dish. While I cannot quite pinpoint how it could be improved visually, it simply came across as boring on the plate. That said, the omelette itself was better than expected once I started eating. The bites that included both shrimp and andouille sausage were the strongest and most flavorful parts of the dish. Overall, if I were judging strictly on appearance, my expectations would have been low. Taste wise, I would give the meal about a 6 out of 10. I did notice several other dishes coming out to nearby tables that looked more appealing, so while this order did not fully impress me, I would not rule out returning. Next time, I would likely try something different from the menu.
