[[HIGHLIGHT]]Quality, environment, staff and the food the food very well cooked and freshly made beverages.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Food and drinks are amazing here. Always a wait. It's probably worth it. They had a tot appetizer for brunch that was shockingly good. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Walking in you have a diner vibe- big windows, counter, booths...[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Server high energy, experienced, professional and friendly . Food is decent. Drink is tasty. French toast with chicken and hot honey- off the charts. It's got a vinegar spicy background- but it covers Sweet, sour, savory and spicy all at once. Th fresh strawberries makes the bite. I'd suggested smaller cuts of strawberries to ensure every bite has one. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great casual brunch spot with a cozy, laid-back vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The biscuits were fresh, buttery, and easily the standout of the meal.

Ruby Slipper Veterans - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

First Scott was an attentive server. We came here because we enjoyed Decatur location. Different experience. French fries cold soggy, fried green tomatoes on the BLT obviously prepared ahead of time cold n hard. Also prep chef should discard hard stem edge of red tomatoes and chef should have recognized and not put on sandwich. We loved the French Toast bites in the quarter. These tasted like it soaked up too much oil. My Southern breakfast was ok but bacon had been sitting a while and dry. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This location had a new brunch vibe and was clean and bright.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I hope the manager takes time to address and tighten up the kitchen. read more

This was the fourth trip to this restaurant this year. The previous 3 were pretty good. The last trip was on Sunday, May 24, 2026. This one was different. It was raining and they were slow and made it obvious they wished I hadn't come in. There were still people eating. I went at 2:40 p.m. as I had all the previous times. I usually sit at the bar. This time I was told the bar was closed, meaning the server had already cleaned it, so I sat at a table and ordered the usual drink and food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Then they started mopping all around me. I felt so uncomfortable, I got my food and drink to go[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The floor was wet and slippery. I had to9 walk carefully to get out. That was dangerous[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I will not go back. read more

Waiter was fantastic. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seems great for family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Space is clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food is over priced. Breakfast Tacos were weirdly sweet Potato's were over salted. Salmon on avocado toast was fine but room temp by the time it was served. read more

Was recommended by a local to try this place out and was not disappointed AT ALL!! The fried green tomatoes are a MUST GET, I mean they were just absolutely DELICIOUS! The toppings on them with their sauce is just perfection!! Coffee was solid as well--the vanilla iced latte was just right! When it came to the other food, everyone practically loved their choices! I would say, I do wish the fried chicken in the sandwich was seasoned, but hey, it was still good! Great service and looking forward to having another breakfast here soon! read more

The Eggs Benedict tasted alright,would've been better if they had poached eggs instead of hard boiled eggs,eggs were way overcooked!!

Mmm Mmmm Good, food was very delicious and tasty, service was very outstanding as for the [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance, this is an great environment[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], I highly recommend ppl here read more

The place was PACKED so I feel it would be better to let guests know there's an hour wait BEFORE seating them at a table & taking the order. We waited an hour before getting our food. I wouldn't have minded as much if the food was great but the chicken sandwich was overcooked and hard and the fries were soft droopy and not crispy! On the other hand my husband enjoyed his breakfast especially the surprise fried green tomato! The waitress was exceptional & super friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was clean with clean restrooms.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'd go try it again but only if I had a lot of time to burn or if I wanted cocktails while waiting for food. read more

The food was good per usual, but geez- the wait! We put our name on the list before arriving to the restaurant so no issue there. When we sat down, our server greeted us and offered drinks immediately- no issue there. But then... we waited about 30-45 mins just to get our appetizer and then another 30 for our food. The waitress did apologize many times and let us know how many orders were ahead of ours and we overheard her telling the table next to ours that most of the kitchen staff had called out so they were very backed up. Overall the experience wasn't terrible because we were patient and not famished. The table next to ours was quite upset and anxious because they said they were starving which i understand... i wish they would've let us know the kitchen situation before we sat down so we could make a choice. read more

I think I've officially visited all of the Ruby Slipper locations, and I can honestly say I love every one of them. This spot has a great location right off Vets and offers the same fantastic menu options I've come to enjoy.

My service was great! Can't remember her name, but the staff was very friendly and welcoming. The food however, was not good. My breakfast potatoes were burnt, and the mimosa flight wasn't the best. Two of the flavors were disgusting tbh lol. Me nor my friend liked them. Best thing was the pancake. I ordered the chicken biscuit and it was super dry. I came to visit New Orleans and was staying with my friend, and she hyped this place up but I ended up being greatly disappointed tbh. read more

Ruby slipper is my go to when I come to NOLA. The bread pudding pancakes were rich and delicious. With them being bread pudding they were a little doughy but not bad. Super sweet. The latte was delicious not too sweet but good espresso. Service was mid, we had to send back some cold food but they were prompt with correcting the order. read more

They have a parking lot but it's very busy. We sat down at about 10:30 and there was open tables. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Recommend bringing a jacket bc the ac blows right on you.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We started off with the pineapple upside down beignets. 4 to an order. They were really good but definitely save them for dessert. Too sweet for an appetizer. The bayou shrimp Benedict was delish and a great portion size. My mom really liked the fried green tomato blt, read more

I came late on a Saturday morning and was promptly seated. I got the bacon bite things as an appetizer and let me tell you, it was delicious. I forgot to snap a picture of the biscuits and gravy, but it was great. I got a plain biscuit and fried green tomatoes to go and they were good. Reasonable prices. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It can get busy though![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Been here a few times but there's never really a wow factor. It's convenient when I don't want to go deep into the city, and reasonably priced. Today service was exceptionally slow. The waiter blamed it on the kitchen being backed up but I saw people getting food that came after us and ordered after us. It's ok but not the "go to". read more

I love Ruby Slipper and have been waiting to try the newest one. Joined the Waitlist on the way and we were seated within 5 minutes of arriving. Instead of my usual flight mimosa, I tried one of the drink specials, the Boo Rita! It did not disappoint! We had the Loaded tots and OMG they were amazing! The braised pork was tender and juicy and the tots and sauce were delicious. We did try another Fall special, the Costa Rican breakfast. I'd have to give it a 7 out of 10. The rice was a bit undercooked but the chorizo sausage was amazing. The service was good. Server was friendly and attentive. This definitely is not a place to go if you don't like loud restaurants. It was extremely loud but I expected that. All in all I do love Ruby Slipper. read more

So.... My partner LOVES pancakes and we are at Target which is super close so it was his pick. The last time we were here he had a decent entree and I had fries because they ran out of burgers. I'm not much of a breakfast fan but it was a nice fall morning. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The last time I was here it was freezing and I'm typically hot natured but it was cold! Same thing today. It was so cold we asked to move outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Only one table left and the top rocked bath and forth. One of us had to hold the table still while the other cut their food[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I ordered the Loaded Tots with pork, cheese, bacon. They came out in a round bowl that had grease leaking out of the dish. Truly disgusting - WET TOTS with grease and broth everywhere. I couldn't get past the wet tots. The server brought our entrees and noticed- points for that. He took them He delivered our entrees, I had biscuits and gravy, it came with eggs and bacon. There was VERY little gravy and the biscuits were so tough you had to use a knife to cut them. Microwaved? Probably because I've never had biscuits you had to saw through. His pancakes? Really good, light, link sausage so tough and overcooked it must have been cooked and reheated to order. Back to my biscuits - just okay, dry, made the mistake of taking a bite and realized it was incredibly undercooked. We were tired of battling the table, just decided to get his to go. Server mentioned it to the manager after we paid. She was super nice, professional and comped our mail which we had already paid in cash. Bill was $53, gave the server $65. Manager told server to just give our money back and she comped it all. I made sure to tell the server to keep his tip. I gave the server (2) 20's and 2 fives. He took the cash out of his pocket, kept a $20 (not the $11 we tipped before. Just SMDH, the manager was really nice but him keeping a $20 just did me in. Never, never again. read more

It was our first time at this location and my experience was great! We needed something quick and tasty which Ruby Slipper always delivers when the cravings kick in. The staff was friendly and offered us a seat in or out so, we chose to enjoy the weather which we are glad we did. The tables were clean and our waitress was quick with ttaking our drink order. She was upbeat and super friendly which started our experience start off great! She was knowledgeable about their menu and answered all of our questions. She recommended a few items based on my husband's seafood allergy and made it her responsibility to point of things he would enjoy. We ended up going with all of her recommendations because it was out of our norm. The items recommended were definitely flavorful which we expect when we venture to one of the establishments. We had about a 10 mintue wait after ordering to receive our appetizers which was pretty good. After finishing our first courses, it took about 10 minutes after picking up the dishes to receive our order. This was lighting fast conconsidering the atmosphere of many lively people filling up majority of the seats. The food temperatures were great and everything was correct. She made sure to catch refills before they were completely gone and checked in at a comfortable pace. I will definitely be back to this location as I have come to prefer it over the others due to the no wait. When I return I'll opt offer an inside location and review that space as well. Great experience! read more

It was okay, the food could have been aliitle better. My friend didn't like her catfish and grits, she said the fish look like it was fried in some old grease. My sausage links were hard. French Toast was decent, the waitress was nice but always had to yell to say can you repeat yourself several times. I would like to come back again to see how it is with no crowd. Alot of diversity there too. They did give her an replacement meal and that fish and grits looked better than what she had. read more

I absolutely love breakfast/brunch so based on the reviews, I was excited for a good experience and good food. The first red flag and a major one at that.... fake eggs. How can a breakfast restaurant serve fake eggs? You can tell as soon as the plate hit the table. They looked like mealy, cheap hotel continental breakfast eggs. I asked the waitress if they use real eggs and she said "yes we do, they come already scrambled in a bag, but if you wanted crack eggs you should have asked for crack eggs." How would I know to ask? It's not noted on the menu or on any signs that I saw and who would ever think to ask a breakfast/brunch restaurant "do you serve real eggs?" Not to mention our biscuits were not hot, the white gravy had separated, they forgot the cream cheese drizzle on our cinnamon swirl pancake and the grossest part is the syrup container was coated in crusty, dried syrup with fresh syrup running down the front. The whole meal was a complete disappointment. read more

If you're anywhere near Metairie and not stopping at The Ruby Slipper, you're doing brunch wrong. We came in with a large party, and not only was the food out of this world, but we had the absolute pleasure of being served by Ronnie--who is, without question the best server we have ever had. Ronnie was phenomenal from the moment we sat down. He handled our big group with grace, humor, and a level of attentiveness that truly went above and beyond. Clever, funny, and completely on top of it--Ronnie made sure every cup stayed filled and everyone was happy (and laughing). Now, let's talk food--because WOW. The Eggs Cochon were melt-in-your-mouth delicious, the French Toast Bites were addictive, the Peach Beignets were dreamy, and the Mix and Match Benedicts let us try a little of everything. And the drinks? Perfectly crafted and dangerously good. Every dish we tried was a 10/10. This place has officially become a must-visit every time we're in town. And we won't even consider coming back without asking for Ronnie. Do yourself a favor and make this your next brunch spot--you'll thank me later. read more
