Don't get sucked in by the number of cars in the lot. It gives the illusion that there is something good here and, in reality, there isn't! This place has to be the most overated breakfast place in town! Got here and seated right away! I am not sure which part of the experience was the best: sitting at the table next to the hostess stand so that every single person waiting to be seated was right on top of us, the waiting over an hour for someone to bring a diet coke to the table after asking literally 3 people at dofferent times, or the half-cold food food that was ordered an hour prior. One would think that after the diet coke issue and bringing attention to the fact that we never received the drink after asking multiple times and multiple people that maybe, just maybe, we would be serviced properly at that point, but nope! No one even came to check on us again until the end! No refills- nothing! The server was sweet, but clearly overwhelmed with bigger tables and no one stepped up to fill the gap. This is poor management at every level! Save yourself the disappointment. Nola has tons of restaurants and in the time you would spend waiting for the bare essentials at this place, you could be dining at a really good restaurant! read more

Food was great, came out fast. Crispy bacon was on point. Thick pieces and a hearty serving size. Will be back to try other menu items. No complaints on service. read more

Our server was Ronnie and we were his first table of the day. His energy was infectious and his recommendations were perfect. This is now my favorite location now. read more

Service and food were excellent!! Thanks to Rebecca for the great recommendations!!! We will come back very soon!

My server, Rebecca was the absolute best from the time we walked through the door the cleanliness of the restaurant the management staff everyone The eggs, Benedict and the hollandaise sauce on a biscuit, which I never had which was so good came all the way from Dallas never had a great experience like this in my life. I can't wait to come back tomorrow and let Miss Rebbeca wait on us again. The whole experience was totally worth it. Best time ever thank you so much. read more

I visited Ruby Slipper on a really busy Saturday morning and I enjoyed my experience from beginning to end. The hostess, I believe her name was Tray or something (charge it to my head and not my heart) Chocolate sister with locs in a high pony tail, was very pleasant. There were a few different guest that entered the restaurant at the same time and she handled each party with ease. Sometimes there's a long wait to get a table, but it makes the wait easier if you have a great host!! I give that young lady 5 stars on her customer service. My server that morning was Rebecca with the quarter size red hoops and she was just the nicest person ever. She sweet and very personable during out entire stay. Even my teenage son took notice and said more servers need to have her attitude. Overall we enjoyed our experience and I would definitely visit this location again. read more

Always a great call! Go for the Costa Rican breakfast platter. You will not be disappointed! A nice relaxing atmosphere where your coffee stays topped off is the icing on the cake! read more

Every time I go to either old met or the new vets location impossible to park. Wanted to try vets had to go elsewhere to eat.

The food was awful, I ordered buttermilk pancakes and scrambled eggs neither of them were good. The eggs were runny and pancakes weren't cooked. Never again. read more

Let's start with how limited parking space is.. Then move on to I a mimosa flight, shrimp & grits with a side of catfish and it took an hour to get my food. I mean people who order after me were getting their food, cashing out and leaving and I was just sitting. Just when I was about to say cancel the order the food came out and it was lack luster. It was cold and they literally gave me 6 baby shrimp and I mean BABY!!! I sat at the bar so needless to say the servers were busy making drinks and things but the entire time I sat waiting for my food NOONE said ONE WORD TO ME!!! I felt INVISIBLE... read more

No what you expected from a good looking restaurant, food and drinks 2 out of 5. Nothing special

Everything was wonderful and delicious. Totally recomend going here to eat and hangout. Lourdes was amazing, and a total sweetie.

Kelsey made our spur of the moment brunch a great experience. Glad to visit and would return. read more

Ruby slipper is amazing!! The food is incredibly good and there is great service that comes with it.

Lourdes was the best!! Glad Ruby Slipper opened this location. Will be coming back. Food was great.

I have been waiting to visit this new location on Veterans. We love the food at the Ruby Slipper, it's always so delicious. The Gulf Shrimp Omelette is one of my favorite and the French Toast bites are really nice to start and of course you cannot pass on the Mimosa Flight ! Rebecca our server offered great service and conversation... Don't worry we'll be back to this convenient and your very well designed cafe. Next time we want to try the outdoor patio section. read more

Have never been to any Ruby Slipper location, but decided to bring a visiting relative to the Vets location instead of Metairie Rd just because of the parking. Started to regret that decision because our food was taking way longer than it should. Our very attentive waitress, Lourdes, brought the manager over to explain that there was a problem with the oven and the biscuits (which was the hold up) could be changed to another bread option. We decided to wait for the biscuits and I'm so glad we did. They were great! Wait was longer than it should have been, but the manager made up for it with a credit on our bill. The food was great and so was the customer service! We will definitely be going back. read more

Love this place! Awesome we have one on Vets. The food is always consistent and the staff is always attentive.

This location just opened and I have been waiting. It did NOT disappoint. The food was AH MA ZING. My fav was the fried green tomatoes. The flavor was soooo good! Service was great, Rebecca was polite and attentive and her suggestion of the Creamy Vanilla Spiced Latte was on point! Love the decor and I can't wait to go back for the Mimosas Flights. Thank you for opening this location 2 miles from my house! A+++ read more

Great open parking spot. Walked in and was immediately greeted and seated to a table. Service was great and food was on point.

Delicious! Had a great omelette. Parking easy. Service was great. Moni was great server. very attentive. Will definitely go back.

rebecca was a lovely server and she kept the whole table laughing! 10/10 would recommend. very sweet and took care of our needs.

Food was ok. Shrimp and grits I do not recommend. Grits were not thick enough and the sauce wasn't good.

Rebecca A great waiter. She was very nice and sweet I definitely will be a returning customer

Wow the wait for this place it's just incredibly long. Food taste it was not all that. I'm never spend my precious time in a restaurant like this. Food presentation was very messy too. read more

Another absolutely horrible visit to this crappy place on Metairie Road. The employees are so miserable and unprofessional. I walked in to pick up an order there was of course no one behind the bar. It was a complete mess. I finally walk around to the front of the bar and I see the girl that works the bar. Oh, she's back there just to eat away and chatting like she don't even have a job, I'm over this place read more

Family of 3 stopped in for brunch. We sat at the bar for quick seating. The food was delicious and came out fast. Our drinks were great. My son was jealous of the adult cocktails, so the bartender made him a mocktail and he loved it! Thank you, Emily! read more

After waiting 53 minutes for my online order, no cutlery were given with the order nor was the order correct. The other locations are great but this one is sub par at best. read more

I find that from location to location of this restaurant there is no consistency. This newest location in Metairie, is bigger, has more seating options ( which I guess is truly no different than the other locations). The thing that was more obvious to me at this new location was the service. It could've been for a number of reasons , or no reason at all. I'm not sure if we are still in the era that we are supposed to be forgiven for service that is infact, questionable. I mean I am obsessed with the french toast bites. So chances are that I will return to my usual location. I just want someone to know. If not only the people that might actually read my review ( it's my hope that I actually get like the managers attention). I just want someone to know that it would appear that most at this location might not be ready for business. I overheard a waitress that stated she needed more hours. It might be true. I hope that she's able to get what she needs. All I'm trying to express is that , I guess we need to be patient, this location isn't ready yet. read more
