This was my worst NOLA dining experience in many years. I felt sympathy for our waitress. This is a new location for Mid City and there are way too many tables for the kitchen or staff to handle. That meant a significant delay on our food and food was cold on delivery. Biscuits were cold and dry and the staff were stressed to the max due to irate customers. Would not recommend to anyone. A disappointing experience. read more

I brought my parents here while they were visiting me from MPLS, MN. I had the shrimp and grits, they were delicious. My dad had some kind of pulled pork Benedict, also delicious, but he was a little disappointed that it was luke-warm. My mom had a sandwich with turkey, bacon, goat cheese, cran-apple chutney. She loved it. It may have been even better if it was served hot. My husband got the blackstone Benedict. He thought it was decent. Our server, Mckensey, was very sweet. All in all, we were very happy and will definitely come back. read more

So i am physically here and they told me it's a 60 min wait... mine you this is my first time at this location... so I'm sitting and hanging out but all these people that I haven't seen waiting getting seated. So the hostess tells me that they have people who have join the waitlist online and they hold priority to those people. So everyone that is PHYSICALLY here doesn't really matter?? While I'm here buying drinks and what not that doesn't matter. It's just the people that check in online. My guarantee to wait and stay is 100% because I'm waiting. But they hold priority to "CHECK" in people. So literally you can make a reservation 45 mins ahead of time with a check in online. Do you think that's fair compared to the people that have waited 60 minutes ?! Literally you're not a priority to them. So I hope if you're from out of town or just trying to get brunch. I wouldn't recommend this place because it would leave you so bitter you won't enjoy the food they service you. read more

The food was great, the wait time was CRAZY and the service was horrible. Absolutely rude waitress, the lady behind the bar in the blue was incredibly rude. The food was great but I will not be returning... read more

While the food is ok, I have just been there for breakfast and lunch, they are way overpriced. The service was just ok. I just hate going places that tip you off with high prices for eggs and bacon with toast. I mean come on it's not like anything fancy like a soufflé or something. read more

Excellent food, excellent service we will definitely be back! We had Misty as our server at the mid city location. She got us a table right away even though they were extremely busy. She recommended the fried chicken eggs Benedict and my husband ordered it and loved it! We had the best service out of all the restaurants we went to in Nola. She also recommended that I try the iced coffee and brandy cream, although the combination sounded strange I went for it. Surprisingly good if you drink them at the same time. I ordered the peacemaker, which lets you mix and match two different benny's, i picked salmon and cochon. I was hoping for a salmon filet but was a bit disappointed it was mixed up with seasoning.The cochon was much better. I can't wait to go back again and try the chicken Benedict that my husband ordered and wouldn't share because it was so good. read more

I only ordered the breakfast potatoes and grits. So my review is limited. The potatoes were nothing special and some were undercooked. The grits, however, we're very tasty. My breakfast buddies ordered the shrimp and grits and were very impressed. The yelp deal...two for one mimosas...made this meal even better! read more

Love this place... great local vibe, gourmet breakfast and amazing morning cocktails. A little off the beaten path, but worth the trip...

Had the blt, omelette and the Mimosa.....all were excellent! Great service, even better food. Definitely worth the effort to visit.

Their breakfast potatoes are AMAZING, but the pancakes suck. Overall, a wonderful little neighborhood restaurant with good service and a nice atmosphere. I've already been back, twice. read more

My family had a great time here and we all enjoyed our food. Get a drink or some fresh squeezed orange juice while you wait.

We had brunch here this morning and the food was awesome! I got the basic breakfast with scrambled eggs, hash, potatoes, and wheat toast. The people with me got the basic breakfast and the florentine omelet. Everyone was very happy with the food! The service was also really good. We sat outside and were well taken care of with prompt coffee refills and food delivery. Great brunch spot! read more

This is a great place for breakfast or brunch. Service is always fantastic. The OJ is freshly squeezed and the coffee is fantastic as well. I was disappointed with my food this time though. I got the Eggs Cochon. The biscuit on the dish was great but there was hardly any Hollandaise sauce on it. It just lacked soulful flavor. This was disappointing because it is their signature dish, but everyone has an off day. I will be back. read more

This is my all time favorite breakfast/brunch joint in New Orleans. I haven't had anything from here that I didn't absolutely love. They always have specials and new items to offer, as well as drink specials! I love the mid city location because it's cozy and not as overwhelming as the others can be. If you haven't been here yet, I recommend making breakfast plans ASAP! Try the french toast, it's to die for!!! read more

Seriously the best breakfast ever!! The St. Charles Chicken, Eggs Cochon, and BBQ Shrimp and Grits are just too die for!!! Don't forget to try the Brandy Milk Punch! We CANNOT go to NOLA without a bunch here!!!!! :-D read more

Ruby Slipper Midcity - Yummm!!!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This is the breakfast place in New Orleans. Plus they have great waiters. Jessica is probably the best waiter we had in a while you guys should request here when you go there. read more

The food was amazing! Quick and good service. We had the chicken Benedict and cinnamon swirl pancakes, both delicious

Love this place! I eat breakfast here at least twice a week. The wait staff are awesome and this is one of the few places you can find something to eat if you're doing Paleo. Got my order wrong once, but fixed it immediately. My only complaint is that they aren't open all day. Also, the cinnamon swirl pancakes are life changing & I would totally suggest them as well as their mimosas. It was a cheat day. Don't judge. read more

We had a large group and long wait but the food was fantastic and the drinks were strong. We also had a coupon for a buy one get one free mimosa which was good and not small by any means. I highly suggest the chicken biscuit sandwich with fried green tomato! read more

Cute spot for Happy Hour and Brunch! Always super busy and you will have to wait a bit in line. The food is good and comes with eclectic options. It was 40 degrees outside and their heater was broken so that was a let down. I ordered an omelette with potatoes and the potatoes were a bit burnt. read more

I haven't even eaten yet and I already know that my food is going to be A1 because NIA, our waitress, is amazing! A huge part of customer service is personality and friendliness and she gave us ALL of it. She gave us our options thoroughly, patiently waited as we pondered our possibilities, was ready to take our orders when we decided, got them down perfectly, asked questions to clarify what we wanted so there was no confusion, and did it all QUICKLY and made it fun! We're excited for our food and our experience because of how Nia has treated us thus far. She should train others on their customer service!!! Chick-Fil-A WHO!??!?!? read more

A great place to have breakfast/brunch! I HIGHLY recommend the St. Charles Chicken! With going to this location I didn't know it wasn't going to be very accessible. Now don't get me wrong, they had a ramp so I was able to get in with no problem. The tables were placed very close together so it was hard to move around, but I made it work. I felt that the hostess knew were to place us and waited until that spot was available to use. read more

I went to breakfast this morning after working a 12 hour shift. We got the migas & Louisianan shrimp omelette! It was amazing! Shout out to Jessica for making our breakfast SO MUCH BETTER! She's great! read more

This is a neighborhood favorite for us. Our go-to brunch place and never a disappointment. Expect a wait on the weekends.

Three nurses (including myself, of course) walk in to this locale at around 8:30AM after spending 12 detrimental hours at work. We were immediately greeted & seated, as no one was waiting for a table. A few minutes later we were approached by the manager & told that we "need to get up because these people were here first." Of note, said 3 people & 2 children were standing right behind her. I informed them all that we didn't seat ourselves, that the girl behind the bar seated us as soon as we walked in. She said, "Sorry, but they were here first." We took the walk of shame back to the entrance and were told that another table would be available "in about 20 minutes". So rude. read more

Quick and lovely service from Diana who was helpful and informative about the menus. This made our visit and breakfast pleasant. The food came promptly and was delicious. Will have to return to enjoy all of the items.....maybe be a daily adventure! Wonderful overall experience! read more

My friend and I came here for brunch a few times on the weekends. It's a great little place with quick table turnover. Every time I've been here theres been about 5-8 names ahead but we just go grab a double mimosa and sit out front 20 mins tops until they call us in. I always get their version of eggs benny (forget the exact name of it right now) but it's always delicious and the dropped eggs are cooked properly. Once I tried the carrot cake pancake that was the special for the day and it was sooo yummyy! Even though it's super busy the waitstaff is always attentive, on top of everything, and quick to refill your mimosa if asked :) All in all it's a great little place. I've never been to the other location but im assuming it's probably the same. read more

Long waits on Saturdays are usually a good sign. This was no different. The key to their nice eggs Benedict was going easy on the hollandaise. A lot of places drown the egg but not these guys. The service was stylish to boot. read more

Went on a Sunday morning was crowded and had to wait in line but got a seat in 10-15 minutes. I had the crab cakes they were excellent. Mostly lump white meat with very little filler. My friend had the shrimp grits with gouda cheese. I think the gouda threw the taste off, as they are usually made with cheddar. The service was good as it was peak breakfast time on a Sunday. read more

Decadent breakfast! Brought the whole family and my son said, "This is the best place ever!" The Bread Pudding pancakes are awesome, but so were so many other things on the menu. read more

my go to brunch plavce in nola! bright and airy with super friendly staff!! not stuffy or pretentious! The mimosas are delicious! eggs blackstone were cooked perfectly and they even turned it inot a eggs florentine for us which was a great start to the morning! Wanted to try everything on the menu! can't wait to go back this weekend! read more

I used to live next door to this place and it was worth paying the over priced rent to be that close to deliciousness! The grits are the best on earth, I am tempted to get a job there just so I can steal the recipe!! The sweet potato fries are awwwwwwesome and so is the sauce. Would be cooler if they were open later though And everyday! But great things don't come easy :) read more

Another good trip to Ruby's. This time I ordered take-out for the office. + I ordered banana's foster and everyone else had the chicken salad entree. Everything was delicious and the order was ready when we went to pick it up. They even let us take our large mimosas to go!! :) - I was very, very (can't stress this enough) sad to learn that this location doesn't have pork debris. I tried ordering the Eggs Cochon, but they said that's only available downtown. I was a little confused because I had seen several reviews on this specific location raving about the pork debris. Confusing, and this should be clearly stated on the website. read more

Went here for brunch in late November - my boyfriend and I both got versions of the eggs benedict - the Eggs Blackstone and Eggs Cochon. The cochon was melt-in-your-mouth delicious and the atmosphere was great as well. Super tasty mimosas. Would highly recommend! read more

The only reason they're not getting a 3 is because their food was INCREDIBLE. I feel like I overpaid for the portion size, but I'll be damned if it wasn't amazing. Also, best Bloody Mary I've ever had. If it weren't for the food and the drink, it would've gotten a 3. read more

Our group had been to this place a few times in the past week. Not a single person disappointed. The catfish St. Peter is divine. Recommend sharing if you're not ready for a really huge meal. read more

Excellent in every way.....coffee was outstanding, food was excellent and the service spot on. Tried to go back the day after Christmas and line was out the door and down the street. Worth the wait but my diabetic husband couldn't so we moseyed down the street. During our visit we recommend the restaurant to everyone else we met. read more

Ruby Slipper is the only place I know where you can get a Catfish Eggs Benedict and it comes out to perfection!!!

Breakfast started out delicious celebrating a day in New Orleans with family. I was excited to take them to this restaurant as it is one of our favs! Be careful walking in an out! My poor mother tripped coming out and hurt herself...she dislocated her finger and scraped herself up pretty bad. Poor thing had to get herself together and just greeted the crowd waiting to get in sprawled out on the ground! The staff was getting her ice in a cup and a plastic bag. (Maybe a good idea to get a first aid kit or at least a ziplock full of ice until we could get her to help.) Thank you to the lady waiting in line that graciously realigned her finger! Thank you to all the patrons that actually cared and stopped to help! Don't get me wrong the food is superb but when something happens like it did today maybe take a name to see if she actually is okay and change the step to a ramp please! read more
