It's so important to use the online reservation system before you get to the restaurant - I love the way this restaurant uses that service. This was my first visit to the Gulf Shores Orange Beach location. I have been many times to the Mobile Alabama location and there is a difference. There is so much more space in this larger restaurant and I love the layout. The food was fresh and delicious as always- I always start with the fresh squeezed orange juice and it never disappoints. You can't go wrong with the French toast bites as a starter it just hits that sweet tooth perfectly. I got the breakfast sandwich for the first time and it was perfect! Can't wait to come back again. read more

Arrived on a Friday around noon and got right in. Our server, Mwana, was fantastic. She chatted with us and kept a smile on her face and put a smile on ours. Moving on to the food...if I could give it more than five stars, I would. The flavor combinations are stellar. Just the right amount of sweet and savory. I highly recommend The Trifecta to get a well rounded selection of tastes. And the Pig Candy Bacon is a must. They make bacon even better. Finally the price was totally worth it. The portion sizes and the amazing flavors made this money well spent. We have done many a brunch and it is by far the best. read more

Do yourself a favor and get in the virtual line using Yelp...or will save you a ton of time. I've been to several locations other than this so I am aware of what is served. I went with the Peacemaker and you cannot go wrong. Mine was the Cochin and the chicken. I know they were absolutely swamped but the amount of hollandaise sauce was not quite enough. The food tasted great but was not hot when brought out. The final prep on all the food is done out in the open and not under lamps and in kitchen. So the little bit of time makes the food cool off some. Again I know they were busy but that's something that should be addressed. Service was solid...tried a little too much to get add ins/started etc but overall was fine. read more

What a wonderful place to have breakfast. The host, Laura, made sure we had a seating arrangement that fit our needs. The menu is diverse without being overwhelming. The service is attentive without being smothering. Try the bananas foster French toast or a bennie. You will not be disappointed. read more

Long wait time but worth it. Best breakfast. The coffee is French Truck which is one of my favorites. The servers work hard and are super friendly, I'm going back! read more

The Ruby Slipper surpassed all expectations we had for a little breakfast place. We all agreed the food was the best breakfast food we have had. We all got something different so we were able to sample a lot of different dishes and not for one of them could we find something negative to say. Also, our waitress was great. She was very friendly, informative, and attentive. We will be back very soon. read more

Love loved this place. Super friendly and funny waitress. Her recommendation for the ruby slipper mimosa (I believe it's a mimosa with a splash of cranberry juice) was great. I had the mix and match Bennies. One bayou shrimp and one bacon. Amazeballs. Never had a fried green tomato ... it was so good!!!! read more

Excellent!!! Service was great and so was the food. Our server took very good care of us on a fairly busy morning. She was very attentive and made sure that our coffee was refilled before we reached half a cup. My wife had pancakes and I had the breakfast tacos ( recommended by our server) and both were delicious. We will definitely make Ruby Slipper a "go to" when we are in the area. read more

Great, fun atmosphere! Crystal & Anna were attentive and so kind! We had a great brunch!! Will definitely be back! read more

Wait for table was not worth it. Food was only ok and service was lacking. Would not go back.

Good food, fast service. Wait list definitely helps save time waiting in lines. We will be back next year.

We ate here while on vacation in Orange Beach. Great and quick service even when it got a little crowded.

Favorite breakfast in the area. Great service and excellent food! The bananas foster French toast is unreal! read more

Being from Texas we expected our meals to have big portions. The Classic Breakfast Sandwich was pretty plain, just as the Classic French toast. The food didn't fill up the plate. One thing we did appreciate was the coffee. Another plus, you can sign in on line without having to sign up. Overall, we were not very impressed. read more

Easy and fast as long as u reserve before hand. They get busy quick! They accommodated my needs perfectly. They have different milks for coffee too! read more

Always a great choice... and my favorite place in the area for an elevated breakfast experience. Food is delicious, service is friendly, and atmosphere is fun and clean. This is a popular spot - so be prepared for a wait :-) read more

Got the French toast bites some were good some were dried out. Out of a 5 I would give them 3 1/2. Would go back have been here before and everything was good. May have just been a bad day. read more

The food was good but the staff were very very rude. One of the food runners had came up to us asking if we had ordered an appetizer and I said no but we will take them. She said "might as well. Free of charge." And placed them on our table. When it was time for our receipts, we explained to the manager that the appetizer was given to us FREE OF CHARGE. Our waitress was standing by us and aggressively grabbed our plates and snatched them out of our hands. Very very rude. Do not recommend this place if you're looking to be treated with kindness and respect. The customer is always right. read more

The small menu had everything we would want so we gave it a try. We were oddly greeted at the door by the hostess who said "wow we are sure are getting a lot of 2 tops today, really messing me up". Not sure what her deal was. We were seated about one foot from another table which is awkward for most people. The waitress and food were really good tho, just wish we had a little more space. read more

Whether I'm in New Orleans or here in Orange Beach, I always make a stop at TRS. My food today was great, as always, but I was disappointed in the service. I sat at the bar for more than 10 minutes with no acknowledgement, no water, nothing. All while other people sat down and were immediately greeted and served. Finally, someone asked if I had been helped and I said no. She took my drink order and when I asked to also order food, she said she'd come back. She never did and I sat there almost 15 minutes -- unable to drink my mimosa bc the glass had someone else's lipstick on it. As yet another couple sat down and was immediately greeted, I stopped the other bartender as he was turning away and asked for a fresh drink in a new glass, and to order. Once I finally got my food, everything was great. I was initially hesitant to knock down my rating bc I understand how busy this location is. But it takes nothing to bring someone a water and tell them you'll be with them in a moment. Or to ensure that a customer isn't blatantly overlooked for nearly 30 minutes. There's just no excuse. read more

Website dishes looked awesome. Different story when actually there Ordered biscuits and gravy/ eggs/ bacon. Not nearly enough gravy. Asked for a little more gravy... not much really. 2 bucks more. Biscuits tough and tasteless. Ordered one pancake. 4.50! It was thin and smallish. Disappointed. Ihop better. Just sayin. read more

Fabulous breakfast!! We hot the breakfast tacos and bigness. Oh.my.goodness!!!!!!! Carson, our server, was so gracious. Going again soon!!!!!!! read more

Only time I've been disappointed. Here on July 2. Parking lot is full despite no wait and half empty restaurant. Turns out it must be more profitable to rent the spaces to Condo overflow parking then people eating out Had to park across street only to sit at worse table as soon as you enter touching elbows with 6 strangers even though they were plenty of empty tables available. Waitress swept around table while I was eating which is a pet peeve to begin with. Asked her for a to go cup that she accidentally knocked the lid on the floor. She didn't pick it up or bring me another one. Normally we have a great experience. Hope this isn't the future of this restaurant. Food was great as usual. read more

Great and interesting menu options. We had and shared peaches n cream pancakes and the spicy chicken and French toast bites. Both good but could use a little more fruit in both. Also tried beignets - very tasty but smaller than expected. My only real desire would be that they had seating that was cushioned - all seating was wooden benches or hard chair. read more

Like usual, food was great, with exception of mine, which was the Migas. I ordered the Migas(love the chorizo), with a side of chicken sausage. When I got the plate, it was Migas made with Chicken Sausage, no chorizo. Highly disappointed the waitress didn't ask if that was correct. Then brought me a side of chicken sausage that was dry. read more

We went recently for brunch on a Saturday morning. The food and service were OK, but nothing special. They are definitely better local brunch choices in the area. read more

Service was terrible. Couldn't even get side plates and napkins for our appetizer. Had to ask a couple of times and the server seemed peeved that we had asked for something that should automatically come to the table with the appetizer. Beignets were small, over fried, and hard as rocks with almost no powdered sugar. Don't know if they were just sitting under the heat lamp or what. Eggs ordered over medium came out over hard. Hot honey chicken sandwich was a soggy mess Ketchup came out in a little sauce dish that was filled with dishwasher water. Gross. Women's bathroom was flooded and out of commission. I'm a restaurant general manager and business owner myself. This is not how you keep clientele. Food doesn't match the pictures shown online. Very disappointed in our experience. Won't be back. read more

I'm very happy that I Decided to stop into this place because it wasn't my first choice. The hotel I was at recommended it and I'm thankful they did. The nice server stated that their all time favorite thing is the Eggs Couchon. I knew I had to order when she indicated that one of my favorite things, "pulled pork" was her all time favorite item. It was topped with a perfectly pouched egg over a biscuit with spinach and a fantastic tasting hollandaise sauce. Yes I scooped it up and eat it all. I will add that when my meal arrived I had not realized it was not accompanied with anything else. However it was extremely filling and I was so satisfied that I had completely forgotten I had no other sides. A must try and definitely recommend. read more

Don't even know where to begin, It was Mother's Day, and we have been to Ruby Slipper everytime we come to town. So gad we joined the waitlist ahead of time.. Soon as we got there, there was a blonde (she hasnt been there on previous visits) who was absolutely so rude and unprofessional while greeting us, we looked at each other like it was a joke. But then she snapped at us again, we turned to just leave (party of 8) when a girl with a mobility boot came walking up, and started talking to us, the blonde then turned to her and started being nasty to her. Boot girl, completely ignored her, and took us to her table, on the way boot girl apologized for blonde's behavior... Once seated Tiffany took great care of us, from here on out.. Maybe it was because it was so busy but the food quality wasnt nearly as good as past visits. But we still love the place.. Please bring back the corned beef hash, and crab cake benny.. and get rid of that nasty host, she is definitely not the first face you want people to see when coming in.. See ya for Bill Fish Tournament!! read more

gotta say, our visit to the Ruby Slipper Cafe in Orange Beach was a blast! Right from the start, the hostess was super friendly and went out of her way to make us feel welcome. Now, let's talk food. I went for the Eggs Benedict, and boy, was it amazing! The eggs were cooked just right, the hollandaise sauce was silky smooth, and I loved the choice of toppings. It was a breakfast dream come true! The only tiny thing we thought could be better was the mimosas. They were good, but a bit more champagne would've given them that extra kick. But hey, they were still pretty tasty. My family and I are already making plans to return to the Ruby Slipper Cafe. With great service, awesome Eggs Benedict, and a laid-back vibe, it's definitely a place we're excited to visit again! read more

Aye! Aye! I'm woke and I done slid into Ruby slipper Cafe! This restaurant Fie! Let's start with Peter. It's morning and he ready to serve, I love it. He spitting out specials and recommendation like a Shakespearean monologue. Do it, Peter! We started with some amazing apps, French toast bites and beignets with strawberry and blueberry compote! Y'all ain't ready for Ruby Slipper, this is breakfast on a different level. Peter right, you can get a breakfast sandwich anywhere. I had to put some of that fresh compote on my biscuit. Y'all, This stuff good. Bae got a smoked salmon omelette with pepper Jack grits and a biscuit. I got the Florentine omelette it had spinach, Swiss cheese and mushrooms and I added bacon. It was paired with grits and a biscuit and I added goat cheese. Y'all already know, I'll be back. Whoever in that kitchen, amazing. read more
