    Fried Green Tomatoes Starter
    Maureen B.

    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.

    The Egg on my Eggs Cochon Benedict was very overcooked
    Liz W.

    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.

    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!!

    Overcooked Chicken St Charles
    Patricia E.

    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.

    It's pretty chill. The vibes were definitely lit tho. The food if I was to rate it I'd give it a 7.5/10 Was not too crazy about the food tho. I was satisfied but I'm not raving about it. The service was a 10/10.

    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.

    The Trifecta
    Juliana S.

    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!

    Linzie R.

    Very good food! Although my French toast bites were more on the crispy side so if that's your thing then you're all set! Not the fastest service that was one downfall.

    Bananas Foster French Toast
    Paul C.

    Ruby Slipper on Magazine has a brunch the just hits. The Creamy Vanilla Iced Coffee is basically dessert with a caffeine alibi, the French Toast Bites are sugary little clouds of joy, the Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes taste like a cinnamon roll crashed Mardi Gras, and the Bananas Foster French Toast is full-on breakfast theater A must try Powdered sugar everywhere, happiness guaranteed.

    Bloody Mary

    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.

    A nice assortment of cocktails.
    Fred M.

    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!

We checked into our nearby hotel a bit early in the day and was looking to hit the streets for a spot to get a chill/light breakfast, a coffee and maybe a cocktail. We found all the things at Luzianne Cafe. Whether you belly up to the bar or grab a table, both of which are first come first serve, you start at the counter where you order, pay and grab your table number. It appears that during busy times they allow you to sit first and order from the QR at your table, this is an assumption given the code to order at the table, but the sign at the entry directed folks to the counter to order before sitting. For breakfast, we got the breakfast biscuit which came with eggs, bacon and cheese, and sided it with grits. The breakfast sandwich was solid, eggs were a bit soft and grits were more mealy than we are used to, but I think that may be authenticity of the area more than anything. I opted for the three option omelet with onion, sausage and gouda plus a side of sausage links. The omelet, though odd sounding combination turned out to be solid. Maybe it was my options, but it was decently "one note" in flavor. I tossed a little hot sauce on and that helped. However, while the sausage links were not much to look at, they were tasty, with a nice snap to the casing and meaty inside. To go with our breakfast, I got a cold brew with a splash of almond milk while my partner embraced NOLA and started his day with a bourbon sour. Both of us enjoyed our choices! Service was friendly and helpful at the counter/bar. The food runner was nice and then another member, assuming the Manager, that stopped by to check on us mid meal. She was super friendly and nice. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and drinks at Luzianne. Minor things noted, mainly on the cook of the eggs, but nothing awful. It his the spot and checked the boxes!

To make matters worse, there was open bench seating in the back where customers ordering to-go could sit. I offered to order food to-go so we could at least sit down and get started while waiting, and she told me if I did that they would remove our name from the waitlist because "you have to pick one or the other." No willingness to problem solve whatsoever. She repeatedly said she was "sorry," but her actions showed the opposite. I was simply trying to work together to find some reasonable solution instead of continuing to watch everyone else get seated while our family, including small children, kept waiting. Absolutely horrible customer service experience.
