Very friendly service is the highlight here. The breakfast menu features many varieties of eggs Benedict. The ones with tomato were the best as they cut the richness the "hash" was just very salty pulled pork and large chunks of potato. The vanilla spiced latte was excellent. read more

The service was great. They were bustling, and couldn't get to us right away, but our waitress was super sweet and gave plenty of recommendations. The mimosa flight was not the best. It had strange after taste flavors. The fried green tomatoes and BLT tasted oddly like fried donuts or pancake syrup. The two best things on the menu are the famous Bloody Mary and white chocolate chip bread pudding pancakes. read more

We came here for breakfast- wait was about 30 minutes. Lots of options for food and drinks. Their bloody mary was very good. I got the crawfish omelet and my husband did the 3 pigs in a blanket. Our food was decent, nothing to write home about. Service was slow. Food came out before my bloody mary which was annoying. Constantly had to ask her to bring us cream, sugar, syrup over and over. I also got the nola iced coffee which was okay. The place wasn't bad just mediocre and overpriced for what you get. I'll try another spot out before coming here. read more

Overrated. Good but overrated. Bit too expensive for what it is, and it's not local, it's a chain. Knoxville, it's not a bad choice, but there are better. read more

We visited family in Chattanooga for Thanksgiving and walked here for breakfast one morning. It was so good, we went back the next morning! I'm not really a breakfast person, but I really enjoyed their benedicts! If we lived there, we'd definitely be regulars! read more

Great place for a casual brunch! Drinks were yum, food was decently priced and tasted well. Great service. Candied bacon appetizer was a little too much, overall taste of menu was good! Maybe not my favorite tasting brunch, but only my first try so need to come back to try more of the menu. read more

Angel is one of the best servers I've EVER had. I don't say that lightly as I worked in hospitality for over 20 yrs. She just had the sweets southern charm in addition to being a attentive server. The food was delicious. The French Toast appetizer is a much try. The mimosa are perfect - not overwhelming champagne taste & lots of fun combos. I like the pineapple. Plus, they are generous servings. I was also able to order a half of two different Benedict's and they both delicious. My husband says the biscuits and gravy were solid. read more

No and no! Went here for breakfast and was seated relatively quickly. But that was the only positive aspect in this dining experience. The server was Kim ( I believe) and she was subpar. Food was brought without condiments for example syrup for the pancakes and french toast. Order was also incorrect. Food lacked flavor, breakfast potatoes were overcooked in old oil. Fried green tomatoes were all breading which fell off with the first bite. Overall experience 1/10. read more

Very good brunch. The three little pigs omelette and Spanish omelettes were on point. The bacon Bloody Mary was fabulous. The staff was very nice and attentive. read more

My youngest graduated on a Saturday morning from college and to celebrate I took the family to a "new to us" restaurant, Ruby Sunshine, for brunch since it has so many good reviews. When we arrived, there was a lot of people waiting to be seated. Their seating was also reduced due to the rainy weather. We waited 1hour + but their was a large birthday group ahead of us. People did leave due to the slow turn around but not us - we stayed the course! After being seated, we ordered and I had a bloody Mary to start...meh... I ordered the biscuit and gravy and the biscuit to gravy ratio was way off! The biscuits were huge and the gravy was absorbed I guess? Also, the gravy had a strong sage flavor making me believe sage was added to the gravy - blech! I never received the fried green tomato that was supposed to come with the dish. Didn't see the waitress for a while, so never asked for it. Now the two kids who had eggs Benedict's, were pleased with their choice and the oldest, who purchased pancakes, commented his was an average pancake, so no complaints. The service was friendly and they were working their hinney's off to keep the customers moving through, it was just so busy, we didn't get refills when we needed them. The menu is interesting, so I want to go back - when it's not the weekend - and try again for a delish meal. If you are visiting out of town, parking is street parking or Republic Parking pay lots, however, if it's a nice day, drive three blocks up 4th Street and park for free in the Unum visitor lot for free! read more

Service was good, reminded me of any other breakfast spot. The cinnamon roll pancakes were really good.

we ate on their patio this morning with our two large dogs. the food and service were terrific!! All the servers came and fussed over the pups. The manager turned the music down without me even asking after I assume he heard me tell my husband it was a bit loud. Great selection of food for us and the pups. read more

Went to Ruby Sunshine for the first time for breakfast. It's delicious! The atmosphere is decorated in New Orleans theme. Brittney was our wonderful Waitress who was very knowledgeable about the menu and super friendly! We had the biscuit & sausage gravy that had homemade flavor, and French toast that was delicious with strawberries. This is a scratch kitchen which means everything is homemade and delicious! I'll definitely eat here again! read more

In comparison to other offerings downtown, I have to give this one 4 stars. Food is average, service pleasant, street side parking and clean inside. Nothing to brag about read more

Loved this place in Birmingham when we visited. The breakfasts are awesome, biscuits are huge and mouth watering. Portions are great. Not a fan that it is downtown Chattanooga. Wish it was out in the burbs. Hamilton place or Hixson. Service is usually good, and place is nice. read more

They came pretty darn close to New Orleans food and coffee. Really enjoyed it. Service informal and good.

Food was disappointing. Greasy and lacked flavor. With lots of options in town, I wouldn't go back here again.

The food is out of this world good!! Stuffed French toast and Eggs Cochon are a MUST. Also loved the fried green tomatoes and mimosa flight. Great Service by Ashlyn and an Atmosphere to match. Will definitely be back!! read more

My friend suggested we try Ruby Sunshine for breakfast (she had pulled up the menu after searching for breakfast places). We all looked it over & we all wanted the SWEET HEAT CHICKEN & FRENCH TOAST BITES (Fried chicken and fresh strawberries tossed in mike's hot honey glaze over french toast bites). When we got there, we were greeted & shown our table. Wish I'd gotten his name...he brought us our drinks & took our order. Our server came out too - maybe they both were as they were the nicest people, friendly, great service & answered our questions about the restaurant, where there are some closer to us & the history of the restaurant (owners have 20 of them). Anyway, we all ordered the sweet heat chicken & French toast bites & I ordered the Pig Candy Bacon Bites appetizer. The chicken is boneless, fried & has the hot honey drizzled over the top, the French toast bites were coated in cinnamon sugar & there was a side of syrup. The heat with the sweet & chicken with the French toast was ahhhmazing!! I'm a big chicken & waffle fan, so this was right up my alley!! We all loved this dish!! The pig candy bacon bites were 6 bacon strip halves...cooked crisp with a yummy coating!! Delicious!! Will definitely go back!! So many more things to try on this menu!! read more

Best breakfast around! The eggs Benedict are awesome. Wish that they would open a location in the Atlanta area.

We had an excellent breakfast experience at Ruby Sunshine! I ordered The Peacemaker (pick any 2 egg benedicts) and chose the Chicken St. Charles and the Bayou Shrimp. Both were great, I can't even pick a favorite out of the two. If you love grits, definitely add a side. Those were hands down the best grits I've ever ate. The coffee was some of the best I've ever had in a restaurant (they brew French Truck coffee out of Louisiana). My husband ordered the Sweet Heat Chicken and French toast bites and said it was great. My brother ordered the gravy biscuits and said the gravy is different but good. We sat on the patio which was a very nice, laid back atmosphere. Cute mural on the patio wall which makes for a good photo. We all agreed that our waiter (Caleb) was one of the best we've ever had at a restaurant. He was very personable and never let our coffee mugs or water cups go empty. We enjoyed our conversation with him. If you're visiting Chattanooga make sure you put Ruby Sunshine on your breakfast/brunch list! read more

Ruby Sunshine was our first stop for breakfast on our Chattanooga trip. While we enjoyed the food and service was good, we weren't overly blown away. The wait for this place was pretty long--we had enough time to walk across town and move our car closer during our wait. Expect a good 45 minutes or longer. Quick parking tip--you can park right across the street at 414 Market St. This cost $7 for all day parking. This was really convenient for getting around downtown! The waitress recommended delicious meals--and most certainly had great recommendations! The food was tasty, but expensive compared to other choices in town. While we enjoyed our meal, we would probably choose local places next time with less wait and cheaper food. read more

We drove up from Atlanta when I saw that Ruby Slippers from NOLA was here in nearby Chattanooga! Definitely worth the drive and the 35 minute wait (get on the waitlist before you come!) We started with fried green tomatoes and coffee and Bloody Mary and then ordered Bayou Shrimp Benedict and The Peacemaker: a choice of two Benes: I got Hot Smoked Salmon and fried Chicken. The Hot Smoked Salmon is a game changer and I wish I had stuck with just it! The fried capers and crunchy salty delicious flavor bombs! So so good! Service was great. The only thing was the food would of been better if it were hotter but not enough to give anything less than 5 stars! We will be back! read more

We had the best time at Ruby Sunshine! Our server Ella was so attentive and personable. We felt very well taken care of. My friend ordered their Bloody Mary and said it was delicious. She also got the buttermilk biscuit sliders duo while I got the gulf shrimp omelet. Ella recommended I add pepper jack cheese to my side of grits and it did not disappoint. Everything was seriously so so good and the atmosphere was so cute and bright. I'd definitely come here again the next time I'm in Chattanooga! read more

Shrimp & Grits are perfect. Stellar service. Dog friendly patio. Great NOLA vibe. Note: will try a Bloody Mary next time.

Loved the food and the atmosphere! And our waitress Leann was very attentive! Highly recommend if you're looking for a great place to eat.

Best biscuit I've ever had. Hands down! Light and fluffy deliciousness. I would definitely return.

Love, love this place. The staff was a pleasure and the food was delicious! I had the MIGAS and the Bacon Infused Blood Mary. I am so glad that Ruby Sunshine decided Chattanooga was a great place to locate. read more

Not my typical brunch spot but 5 stars for various reasons.... We arrived at 12:30 on a beautiful Sunday afternoon... prime brunch time. To my surprise it was only a 20 minute wait, which turned out to only be ten minute. Atmosphere: like I said not my typical cutesy brunch spot, but a nice enough place. Parking isn't the best here but trust you will want a little walk before and after you eat here Bathrooms are clean. Restaurant is clean. They have an outdoor patio on nicer warmer days with pets allowed :) Food: I hate that the old goat and I were doing Dry January because they have some tasty looking drinks. I will be back to try the morning margarita! We ordered the batons for a fat brunch appetizer. 1. Unexpectedly came with two pieces of bacon, always a plus 2. Think carnival funnel cakes! Literally so good! The goat and I both ordered omelets with the potato side. The biscuit that comes with the meal is a meal in itself! Please please try the sugar cane butter that they make in house.... delicious! This is a very large meal! Come hungry and not on your diet Service: Really good points for service. From the hostess to the waiter to every person walking by that checked on us. Service was on point! In and out very quickly in a non rushed good way. Tip: parking is a little difficult, parking on the street metered or paid lot. Bring your pup on a nice day read more

I ate at this place this morning and I was truly disappointed with the food and service! That was they nasties biscuits and gravy I've ever eaten! It had some cheap sausage in it! These places charging high prices for cheap nasty products! Don't serve you real eggs, everything straight out of plastic bags! I was quickly seated and order taken but a bigger party of people came in and I was quickly forgotten about from my waiter! The only Sunshine that I got from Ruby Sunshine was the Manager that was there this morning! Will never go back not even if someone else paid! read more
