    Mimosa flight

    If you're looking for the ultimate brunch spot in Metairie, Ruby Slipper on Veterans is where it's at. The energy here is always vibrant, but it's the food that keeps us coming back. The Standout: Chai Pumpkin Beignets We were absolutely blown away by the Chai Pumpkin Beignets. They are essentially a fall dream on a plate. The beignets were perfectly fluffy, but the filling is the game-changer--a rich pumpkin cheesecake that pairs beautifully with the chai caramel drizzle. The spiced candied pecans on top added that perfect crunch. If these are on the seasonal menu when you visit, do not hesitate. Just order them. Other Highlights: * The Benedicts: You really can't go wrong with "The Trifecta" if you're indecisive. It lets you sample the Cochon, Chicken St. Charles, and Bayou Shrimp all at once. * The Service: Even when it's packed (and it usually is), the staff is incredibly efficient and friendly. We never felt rushed, despite the busy weekend crowd. * The Drinks: Their Mimosas and Morning Margaritas are the perfect way to kick off a Saturday. The Verdict: Ruby Slipper consistently delivers that authentic New Orleans brunch flavor with a creative twist. Whether you're a local or just passing through Metairie, it's a must-visit. Elite Tip: Use the online waitlist! This spot is popular for a reason, and jumping in line before you leave the house will save you a lot of time on the sidewalk.

    Shrimp & Grits
    Alexis B.

    Food was amazing. The shrimp and grits have always been my fav and my husband likes the eggs Benedict. Our waiter was nice, they were a bit slow but it was a very busy Sunday morning so that's understandable. Always a good place to go.

    Mardi Gras Beignets
    Shantel M.

    Horrible. Just Horrible. I am a local. I visited this location because it was during Mardi Gras and the other locations were booked. This location was pretty empty but I thought it was because it was Metairie. Allllll of the portions were extremely small. I ordered shrimp and grits that was Rosemary heavy and the portion was a kid's size. My wife ordered the catfish and received 3 small strips. Even the Mardi Gras beignet special was small. We were all dissatisfied. Sevice was ok.

    I've had two different experiences at this location recently. This review is regarding the first. My mom and I were joining a friend of hers for brunch. My mom hasn't been out much over the last year so this was an exciting brunch adventure for her and it was her idea to come here. We were seated immediately even though we were waiting on our third guest. Our server Rebecca was genuinely one of the sweetest people ever and although it was a busy day for her, she really took the time to chat and get acquainted with us which made the experience so much more pleasant. She recommended the boozy iced Irish coffee for me and the non alcoholic version for my mom who doesn't drink. It was really good! The disconnect came for me when my food came out. I simply didn't enjoy my catfish and grits as much as I'd hoped. The gravy flavor wasn't the best and the fish seemed a bit undercooked/ fried. I didn't bother Rebecca with it because I didn't see it worth it but I also didn't bother taking home the leftovers. My mom was however happy with her Cuban breakfast dish... My rating is based on my dissatisfaction with my dish...I'm sure there's another menu item I'd like more.

    Chicken St. Charles Benedict
    Jennifer B.

    Let me start by saying I've never had a bad experience here but I guess there's always a first. I decided to go with the Chicken St Charles Benedict which came out beautifully plated. My first cut into the meal I knew it was going to be a disaster. The biscuit was so hard I had to muscle through the first bite. I will however say that first bite was full of great flavor in spite of which is why I continued the first half of my meal. The second half my knife couldn't even break through the biscuit so I just pushed the poached egg and fried chicken onto the plate and left the biscuit. I informed the waitress of my experience and she gave me a coupon for a free appetizer...but it's only good Mon -Thur. What a bomber considering I'm here visiting on the weekends usually. Anyway I hope the next time isn't this horrible.

    Pre parade deliciousness to start our day! We drew the best server straw!  Kudos

    Delicious, beautifully plated food. Bacon Bloody Mary should be illegal it's so good. We had the most friendly, enthusiastic, fun and knowledgeable waiter.

    Ruby Slipper is by far the best breakfast/brunch establishment there is!!! The food is always really good. I normally get the trifecta but opted for the southern breakfast instead. The biscuits are amazing, they are served with a cinnamon butter that makes them really yummy. Eggs were scrambled and the grits were thick but both were good. My bacon was cooked to perfection as I don't like it too crunchy. Our waiter was very attentive as well. Parking was a bit of a hassle but I guess is to be expected. Overall, I would return to this location in the future!

    Ask the Community - Ruby Slipper Metairie

    How's parking? Do they have a parking lot or is it just street parking?

    There is parking but it is very limited. Sometimes the restaurant would allow a concierge service to park your vehicle; however, I recommend you call ahead and ask if there is available parking (First Come First Serve).

    Are you dog friendly for outdoor seating?

    Hi Crystal, yes! We allow well-behaved dogs to sit outside in our outdoor seating area.

    How do I make a reservation?

    Hi Elizabeth! We unfortunately do not accept reservations, but you can add your party to our waitlist remotely using Yelp.

    What vegan options are available here?

    not much unfortunately. fruit, side of avocado, salad... maybe the oatmeal?

    District meets the suburbs…read more I've been to the locations on Magazine and Harrison several times but 1st time I have been to this one. This one feels like a chain restaurant (which it now is) and has no real personality being pinned in between a bike shop and a Jersey Mike's inside of strip mall. The kolaches at District are really good. They have a variety of flavors, I usually get a smoked sausage, cheese and jalapeno which is tasty but this time I got a brisket boudin and cream cheese kolache in a collaboration with Gonzo's. This was phenomenal. I also got a regular glazed donut. This was not that good. It's too dense and too thick. I like my glazed donuts to be light and airy; I want it to almost melt in my mouth. All of District's donuts are thick. Most of them are good especially the banana pudding donut. The issue is these aren't really donuts more like cakes or just a dessert. If you are coming to get your order to go this place is fine but if you want to hang out, I prefer the other locations.

    Tried the King Cake from District Donuts Sliders Brew, and wow--this one absolutely lives up to the…read morehype. The dough is soft, buttery, and rich without being heavy, and the cinnamon-sugar filling is perfectly balanced (sweet but not cloying). You can tell it's made with the same care as their donuts. The icing is generous without drowning the cake, and the traditional Mardi Gras sprinkles add that classic festive touch. It's indulgent, flavorful, and dangerously easy to keep slicing "just one more piece." Also worth noting: it stays moist for days, which is rare for king cake. If you're torn between traditional and over-the-top versions, this is a great middle ground--classic flavor, elevated execution. Easily one of the better king cakes in the city, and definitely worth picking up during the season. Would 100% buy again.

The service was nice the first time but the second time we really didn't have a good one. We had a guy that was really nonchalant and didn't pay us any mind. I could go into more detail but no need to bash anyone. But when someone acts like that it makes the food mediocre. But the food was decent my favorite thing I ate was the French Toast it was sweet and moist easily a get it again. The Crab Rangoon dip was elite as well so creamy and full of flavor. The Harrison BLT was a big let down just felt they didn't put any effort into it was kind of just there. A BLT is a very simple dish but has to be made with love and care. The Winser Scramble had a lot of potential but it only had 3 shrimp in there it's hard to forgive that when that's the only protein it has in there. The hangover bowl was pretty nice, literally any dish makes you get over any hangover you have brisket in a dish it's always hearty. Now to the McOutpost, I love the idea of it. I felt if the biscuit was a bit firmer and more flaky it would've been nice. Overall this spot is a pretty cool spot to go catch a vibe and a bite.
