This is a 5 star in our book!! First, the service was excellent. So friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. The ambiance was after the rush, so not too loud. The food -- delicious!!! The florentine omelette and bacon/mushroom/onion omelette were soooo good! Each well done. Served with GF toast and jelly. If we had another day we would have gone back! read more

Came here for breakfast on our last day here before an afternoon flight home. We got here just in time as there was a waiting line to get a table after sitting down for about 20 minutes. The Banana Foster French Toast sounded unique so ordered it and I liked it thought don't know if I'd get it again if I were ever here. My wife enjoyed her Skinny Florentine Omelet. Rosa, our server, was very busy as the place was packed and she and another lady came to the table a couple times to make sure all was good. read more

The food was solid, and the service--especially from Marissa--was excellent. Unfortunately, the experience at the front was a different story. The two hostesses were noticeably rude and dismissive from the moment we arrived. I greeted them with a friendly good morning and received no response, not even a smile. They were also on their phones. Although there was no visible waitlist, we were told it would be a 45-minute wait. Meanwhile, an open table that fit our party sat in plain view, and we still ended up waiting over 30 minutes. Their attitude made it feel like they didn't care whether we stayed or left, which was surprising and disappointing. The photo below are the unwelcoming committee read more

We've been to Ruby Slipper multiple times and even this location as well, however left pretty disappointed. Usually we would do the one in the quarter, but because we were driving back home after and it's French quarter fest thought we'd avoid the busy of the one in the quarter. The service and vibe of the one in the quarter is always on point, I don't know if today was off day or what, but the service and food was just lacking at this uptown spot. When first sat, it took close to ten minutes to get someone to even come to the table to which we ordered everything because if that was any indication of the whole experience we'd be waiting a while. Glad we did, because it didn't get better. Drinks from the bar took a while, the waitress said the bar was backed up. Asked for lemons for water, those took longer than the actual bar drinks to which she said again the bar is backed up...for lemons? The food took a while as well and when it did arrive the chicken on the Bennie's was overcooked, dry and tough to chew through. Tables around us were all complaining as well about waiting for everything all the way to paying at the end. At one point the waitress said there was an onion crisis in the back and said that's why things were taking so long. Not sure how that affects bringing a check, anyways the whole service end seemed like it was chaos. Maybe spend more time paying attn to the tables instead of congregating in the middle of the restaurant with co workers and what looked like mgr on duty...but maybe they were discussing the onion crisis‍. Would take the wait in the quarter next time over venturing up to this location. read more

We're looking for a brunch place and this spot came up. For me it was OK and I forgot to take a picture of my Florentine omelette. My husband said the fried green tomatoes he liked, but the beignets were overcooked. They did remake them for us, but they were still just OK. We also got grits, which are not pictured here and those were tasty. Overall, this place was just OK for me but definitely give it a try for yourself. Weight staff was extremely friendly and attentive. The overall vibe here is welcoming. read more

I've been here a few times. The food is pretty good. Servers and staff are friendly. Today we ordered the candied bacon, Cochon benny and the Chicken St. Charles benny. The candied bacon is always amazing, crispy, coated in brown sugar - I will always order this. Naturally we shared half and half. I liked the chicken one better, while my husband preferred the pork. Chicken was fried crispy and delicious. Pork was flavorful and juicy. I love the hollandaise sauces on both. My only complaint would be that my poached egg was very overcooked - not even a soft boil - pretty much hard boiled. Luckily I love eggs cooked all ways, but it wasn't the same. My husband's eggs were also overcooked. Anyways, I enjoy coming here for the quick casual vibes. read more

The Ruby Slipper, in a great relaxing neighborhood would be a miss if you didn't step in for a brunch. I was excited to see that there is more than two locations of this restaurant! It's a neat place where you feel like you are a New Orlean'ian local yourself. I recommend trying the pancakes. Had a couple of small orders on today's visit. The Halloween decor and relaxing ambiance helped calm some of the busy later for our day. The pumpkin latte and a simple bowl of grits made an easy brunch. We also purchased a red coffee cup!! read more

Friday morning early breakfast with husband. Parked in pay lot next door and walked into a restaurant with a couple of small tables seated and a large table with about 10 women. Took a minute to be greeted. This isn't our first visit (not sure where my first review went, which was a 5-star), but it was our last. There appeared to be confusion over who was handling our table. Ordered the usual drinks: husband coffee & OJ, me a virgin Bloody Mary. Now the latter they do great - not the same price as a regular Bloody Mary - they adjust it to $5.50 for the no alcohol - thank you. It didn't have all the usual trimmings, which was a bit disappointing. Ordered husband's usual: Chicken St. Charles Benedict - and I went a la carte with a side of breakfast potatoes and chicken sausage patties. I was a little taken aback by the $3.50 portion of potatoes I received (see picture); seems like it was more when it came with a meal. I asked for ketchup for the potatoes, which were cooled off by the time it was received. I was even more taken aback by the incorrect temperature of my husband's poached eggs. He wouldn't send it back because by the time he pointed it out, he had eaten it anyway (see picture) because he was hungry. (The food had taken a minute to come out.) The final straw was waiting on someone to bring the check and overhearing a server complain to another server that no one asked her if they could open her f****** section. We paid, left, and concurred we'd have to find another place to eat breakfast. read more

After a New Orleans kind of night out, my friends and I were in desperate need of a nosh, and we rightfully chose the Ruby Slipper to come back to this dimension. Haha. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was warm, inviting, and just what you want when you're trying to bring yourself back to life after a long night. Our server was amazing! She was friendly, attentive, and had great recommendations that really made the experience. The food was everything you'd want from brunch: comforting, flavorful, and satisfying enough to completely reset us for the day. If you're in NOLA, do yourself a favor and make this a stop. The Ruby Slipper has the kind of energy that makes you feel both rejuvenated and right at home. read more

Good food and clean. Staff generally struggles. Refills, getting things is tough there. Wait staff does not come by and won't make eye contact. Compared to other Ruby slipper s, the are the least responsive and less busy. read more

Food was great and the restaurant was really cute! Had great service and enjoyed our experience there.

Word to the wise: come early!!! This is pretty much the case at all Ruby Slipper locations, but definitely at this location. It's bus accessible, or walkable, or you can park in the street no problem. There are no reservations and it's popular for large groups, so the earlier you go the better. The wait will grow. BUT the food is delicious. There are so many great options to choose from that you REALLY need to go a few times to try them all. I highly recommend the Benedicts. Our server did a great job given how busy they get, and I really love that they have mix n match options for the different Benedicts. A menu after my indecisive heart! The drinks are also very pleasant. I had a great Bloody Mary during this visit, but I normally swear by the Irish coffee. It's loud and lively, but a super reliable choice for brunch in New Orleans! read more

Ruby Slipper is a fantastic place to get some brunch, when you're not in a rush. Weekends seem to be busy, esp with Mardi Gras weekend, and their waitlist had a consistent 20+ number of parties on the Yelp waitlist throughout the morning and afternoon. Our food took about 45 minutes to come out (for a party of 5) and we were starvingggg watching everyone else eat around us. The biscuits here were a highlight - Came with a sweet butter that was so delicious on a warm biscuit. Fried chicken sandwich (don't forget the hot honey!) plus the seasoned fries were wonderful and I would get my own next time. Pancakes were moist and filling. Trifecta was FILLING. Shrimp & grits were the only dish lacking IMO: shrimp was cooked perfectly, but the grits had no flavor at all. Overall it's quite loud inside with so many patrons, the servers were nice and prompt with requests after our food came, just make sure you join the Yelp waitlist... It was nearly 1.5 hours with how popular they are, and the additional half hour min. for fresh breakfast to get to your table. read more

I love the Ruby Slipper! I've been to this location several times but none of the other locations. My wife has been to several locations; and the one in the French Quarter is her favorite, but she likes this location a lot too. They have an extensive menu, and you can't go wrong with any of it. But, if you are looking for a recommendation: I would suggest the Peacemaker. The Peacemaker is mixing and matching any two of their variations on Eggs Benedict. My two favorites are probably Chicken St. Charles and Eggs Cochon. I should also mention their Award Winning Bloody Mary is excellent. Oh, and my wife likes the Mimosa Flight. Service is friendly and professional. Decor is cheery. Prices are reasonable. If you happen to be looking for a great breakfast and a relaxed vibe, I recommend the Ruby Slipper! read more

The best part of today's experience was our server David. He is a Gem! He deserves multiple raises!! He's so thorough and had excellent recommendations! I ordered the catfish and grits and he brought out a side of pickled onions to enhance my palates experience. The food was great per usual. We've been to 3 Ruby Slippers (not all here)but they are truly great read more

This place was ok, not anything super special if you're a tourist and looking for something different. Kind of like a Cajun Dennys. Service was slow and a little rude (maybe just a difference in culture). Food took a long time to come out and was just average. Had we gone in with more realistic expectations, maybe I would have felt differently but it was recommended to us by a local. Probably 2.5 but I round up. read more

Food was delicious the space is nice and relaxed and the service was excellent! That pancake!!! Will be back ASAP. Also, this location didn't have the crazy lines the other locations ,but the food is just as great. It's a nice spot away from the madness of the French quarter. read more

Based on numerous travel group recommendations, we had brunch at the Ruby Slipper Cafe. We selected the Magazine Street location in the shopping district. The food was simple, satisfying, and tasty. However, service was slow, dishes were served with missing components, food was served in cracked dishes, and drink orders were mixed up. Overall, it felt comparable to a Denny's--reliable and straightforward, but nothing particularly standout. read more

We've now patroned this location three times...it's become tradition when we come visit our friends in New Orleans. Food quality has been consistent and the wait staff have always been friendly and when we're lucky, sassy. Always look forward to brunch here when we're in town. read more

Ruby Slipper is a Brunch/Breakfast focused restaurant chain that started in New Orleans post Katrina, and now spans 20 locations across multiple Southern states. This particular location is uptown on Magazine st. and close to plenty of shops, bars, and other food options. Service has always been friendly and timely, but there may be a line if it's a busy weekend, peak hours, or during a local tourist heavy event. The interior is very clean and corporate franchise feeling which attracts lots of out of towners looking for a "safe" option, but the food is in fact good and worth a visit if you're craving a brunch menu. read more

Whenever I'm asked about a good brunch place, Ruby Slipper always comes to the top of the list. I have visited multiple of their locations in New Orleans and the experience has always been pretty consistent. This location is on Magazine St in the Uptown area. It's a really great location with lots of small shops and restaurants within walking distance. The few times that I have been here it hasn't been super busy so I've never had trouble getting a table. This time was no different, I was seated immediately and my server was quick. I ordered one of my favorite dishes, which is the Biscuits and Gravy. This time with scrambled eggs (you choose how you want the eggs). The dish came out good, plenty of gravy, and lots of flavor. Their biscuits are their own recipe and they're large and fluffy. The flavor with the creamy gravy is on point. It was another solid trip to Ruby Slippers. If you want to avoid the business of the Ruby Slippers close the French Quarter, this is a great choice with lots of things to do before and after. Service: Good service. The server was attentive and checked back often. Drinks: Full menu. They have lots of brunch beverage options and are known for their Bloody Mary's. Happy Hour: NA, they are open early in the day for breakfast and lunch. Parking: Street Parking Outside Seating: There were a couple of tables outside. read more

A friend recommended this place for a late breakfast while in New Orleans, and I had a solid meal! We were a party of 3, and we were promptly seated; thankfully, it was not very busy and there was a fair amount of seating available. I tried their Irish Coffee, which was sufficiently boozy and not too sweet. French toast was my entree, and I thought it was well-made. While I did not leave Ruby Slipper thinking I had a standout meal, I thought it was good and would go back again if I was in the area. read more

As a professional cook I can recommend some improvements. First of all ditch that chicory coffee. It's really bitter. Next, use Pillsbury Southern Style biscuits. Your biscuits are tough and chewy. Also, when doing sunny-side eggs, use a dome to trap heat cook the whites. Finally, give the finished plate a 30-45 sec. turn in the MW to assure the gravy and other bfast items are served hot... read more

Cute place in Garden District to grab some brunch / breakfast after walking around. Definitely call ahead and add your name to the waitlist since it can get busy. For my meal I got the breakfast sandwich on a biscuit which was pretty good. I also wanted to try grits so I ordered that on the side. They have many menu items to choose from and great for both sweet and savory lovers. Highly recommend coming here! read more

This is a cool restaurant right on Magazine Street. Many people I spoke to highly recommended this place. I knew there were several locations in the city but this was the closest one to us. It was busy on a Saturday morning but I found a seat at the bar. It was filled with mostly families and large groups of people going out for brunch. I ordered their Three Little Pigs Omelet which came with bacon, ham, and sausage with Swiss cheese. It was delicious. It had just the right amount of meat inside. It came with grits and a buttermilk biscuit. I never had grits before so that was a first for me. To drink I ordered the Nola Style Iced Coffee. This was French Truck cold brew coffee which is a local coffee chain. I never heard of it before but wanted to try it out. It was good but they served me more ice than coffee which was disappointing. I was hoping for a lot more coffee to keep me running throughout the day. This was a fun place to go to for brunch. I will be back. read more

Awesome find of and service! Biscuits are fabulous, shrimp & grits super tasty and the Migas really hit the spot.

This was my first visit to The Ruby Slipper, tucked away in the heart of beautiful Uptown New Orleans. I ordered the classic French toast, beignets, and the salmon omelette--each dish was delicious and full of flavor. We also sampled the mimosa flight, along with a rich Irish cream coffee topped with liqueur, chocolate syrup, and whipped cream. The atmosphere is trendy yet cozy--a charming little spot with plenty of space for larger groups. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, which made the experience even better. With great food, friendly service, and reasonable prices, The Ruby Slipper is definitely worth a visit. I recommend checking them out. read more
