Second time coming here. Food was amazing last time. It was great this time as well. Quick fast service. Outside seating was cool. Was able to experience the nice weather outside. Will be coming again.
We enjoyed our quick breakfast here as far as food was concerned. The service could use a bit of improvement. We waited on our server to come back to the table to bring hot sauce, ketchup, coffee cream, etc. We wanted to order something to go and she was nowhere to be found. I'm not sure if she had some tables inside. We were seated outside to get some fresh air. I got the portabello mushroom omelette since they didn't have anymore avocado for the avocado toast order. My company got the breakfast sampler and a single pancake. I will say when the server took our order she was helpful. Eventually, we flagged down Mia and she helped us with the rest. Thanks for saving the day! I didn't even know they've served CBD....would this be infused???
Ruby slippers ended up being a great choice for brunch before our flight. We were greater with a smile and great attitudes. We ordered the banana foster French toast with bacon (9/10) and the breakfast sandwhich with grits (9/10). This was a delicious meal and definitely worth the wait since it was a little busy. The restaurant was clean, even with construction going on and provided a good amount of seating inside and outside. To top it off, service was excellent the whole time. I look forward to trying other locations!
During my visit in NOLA, I walked to Ruby Slipper on a Sunday afternoon. We waited outside for about 20 minutes to be seated. Upon entry, it was loud. Very busy establishment and hard to hear my partner. It was definitely giving me diner vibes, but that's alright with me. A little past 5 minutes of waiting, our waitress came over to our table. She was very helpful and patient with all my questions; she even made some reasonable suggestions. I ordered the shrimp and grits. The robust flavor in the shrimp sauce was delicious. But let me vent because they only gave me 6 pieces of shrimp. Only 6!!! I don't understand that part.... 6 small shrimps at that. Stop playing in my face!! Let me move on because I'm getting annoyed all over again. The biscuit and butter on the side was sooo moist. The butter was sweet and creamy. My partner ordered the biscuits and gravy with a side of eggs. He said it was good and filling. I ordered a mimosa that was strong. Overall, I rate this spot a 7. I wouldn't revisit only because I know I can go somewhere else and get more bang for my buck.
We were up at 4 and in New Orleans by 8:30, and ready for some breakfast. And possibly a breakfast cocktail. There was a bit of a wait, but not nearly as long as they said it would be. Our waitress was friendly, and all the things I asked her about, she said was good. Now, I don't know if that was her actual opinion, but I went with it. I started out with a lavender Paloma. I love a Paloma and this sounded fun. I definitely got a bit of lavender odd of it. It was sweeter than I was anticipating, and I thought a little light on tequila. But it was a breakfast cocktail. I also ordered the shrimp and grits. This was a winner. I didn't really think it needed a side of biscuit, but there ya go. The grits were cooked perfectly and had good flavor. No boring unseasoned grits over here. The shrimp was sauced with a rosemary and Worcestershire sauce that was savory and delicious. Add in a bit of tasso and it was very flavorful. I did think it was missing a bit of veg, a little sauteed onion and bell pepper would have made it perfect for me. Both for flavor and texture. However I did enjoy it. And the portions were generous. Next time I may skip the cocktail and just order some coffee, but I won't judge you if you disagree. Laissez les bons temps rouler.
Make sure you get there early or make reservations. It gets crowded and people are willing to wait. They have multiple locations but each location has a long wait. Walking distance, no need to drive. If you have a long wait, there's plenty around the area to walk and look at to kill time while you wait. They even offer you to order drinks while you wait if you decide to stay closeby. And believe me, it's worth the wait. We were seated on time and everyone is so nice. The menu isn't too big but everything sounds amazing. I ordered the eggs Benedict trio and only shared a bite of each so that my husband can taste how amazing it was. He ordered the sweet heat chicken and French toast bites - he enjoyed it but wished there was more of it. My girls shared French toast bites with fresh fruit and cinnamon swirl pancakes. They loved every bite. The French toast bites are a perfect one bite with a good crunch. The pancakes were delicious and they could've had more if allowed. I also ordered a boozy iced coffee because when in NOLA, why not. It was delicious, a lot stronger than I was expecting but still yummy. Definitely will come here again when visiting NOLA but will be sure to make reservations ahead of time. And even if there's none available, we will wait because it's definitely worth the wait.
Restaurant was located across the street from the hotel that we stayed in. Wait wasn't tooooo long. Food was yummy and just enough. Coffee wasn't all that good-it tasted burned. Tables were tight and close together. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience and I'd go back to this location.
really good food. I tried the biscuits and gravy breakfast on my most recent visit and loved it. super delicious. and the candied bacon... omg... not to be missed! so so tasty. service was ok. one of the items we ordered was missing and she didn't come back after we got our food, so that was a bummer. otherwise fine. there was no wait when we went, but I've been other times where the wait was insane, so I love that they have a mobile check in option.
