Amazing Breakfast place in New Orleans! Nestled in the heart of New Orleans, Ruby Slipper is a delightful gem that captures the essence of Southern hospitality and culinary excellence.

Whether it's their mouth-watering benedicts, fluffy pancakes, savory omelets, or breakfast tacos, each item is a testament to the quality of the food.

For anyone in New Orleans looking for a breakfast or brunch spot that combines great food, a wonderful atmosphere, and exceptional service, Ruby Slipper is a must-visit.

Honestly loved the food, it was amazing. The only problem we really had was waiting well over an hour and a half to seat 12. We put in the 2 groups 40 minutes before showing up and waited almost another additional hour for our group to be seated completely. They seated half and then the rest of us. So harder for groups bigger than 4-6. The place was extremely busy. I think it was worth the wait for the food but others in the group did not. I still highly recommend going, just maybe really early in the morning instead of brunch!

Amazing breakfast in such a cozy atmosphere!! Hands down the BEST shrimp & grits we have ever had and the sweet heat chicken and French toast bites were out of this world! Highly recommend & can’t wait to come back!

My first time vacationing in New Orleans, Louisiana and this restaurant was recommended. We went for breakfast. Initially, worried about the wait time because of the line. However, after placing our name on the list, we waited for a brief 15 min., maybe less. The food was definitely worth the wait!! Our server Nathan was great! We enjoyed the food and service so much, dined there twice within 4 days. Taylor, our server the second time was just as attentive and on it! A must visit. The only reason for the 3 🌟. We weren't aware of another, larger Ruby Slipper not too far from the location we went to.

You must have breakfast or brunch at Ruby Slipper Cafe! Everything we had was good, food came out really quickly, and the service was great. Just be aware that they get busy pretty quickly, especially around brunch. So expect to wait in line during their busy hours.
