Ruby Slipper

We solo by for a quick rest of our road trip and to try the pancakes. My wife got the Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes. They were tasty and flavorful. They tasted like a freshly made Cinnamon roll. I had the Bananas Foster French Toast. They were delisious. The service was excellent, the food came out pretty fast. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. We found the pancakes and French Toast pretty pricey for it to be served without any eggs or sides.

This was my first visit, and it was amazing! Everything was delicious from start to finish and our server Hailey was great. If I was staying in town longer I would definitely return! Get the French toast bites, you won’t be disappointed!

We were among the lucky first customers on the Saturday morning we dined here, having waited in the parking lot for the doors to open. We were promptly seated, but from there, the promptness gave way to a surprisingly slow pace. Our server was friendly, kind, and always wore a smile, which we appreciated. However, the overall service was unusually slow—so much so that it left us genuinely puzzled. The restaurant appeared adequately staffed, and there wasn’t much of a crowd, so the delay didn’t seem to have an obvious cause. That said, everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and thoroughly enjoyable. The food absolutely delivered. Still, the lag in service was the slowest we've experienced in recent memory, and without any clear explanation, it stood out. As visitors from Kansas, we’ve heard that Southern hospitality can have a more relaxed pace, but this caught us off guard. We’d definitely return for the food—but next time, we’ll come prepared for a leisurely experience.

The food was delicious! Got the French toast bites to share and they were gone so fast! The breakfast sandwich was classic and the biscuit was fluffy & so good. A great spot for breakfast or brunch! 😊

Fantastic Breakfast Spot! Great breakfast place in Baton Rouge! The Benedicts and shrimp and grits were absolutely delicious—flavorful and cooked to perfection. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in town!

Wow! The service was wonderful as was the food. I had the salmon avocado toast and it was amazing. My husband had the breakfast tacos with chorizo. I would definitely come back here again if we are in town.

Tiana helped was my server and was amazing!! Every time she rounded that corner she was checking to see if I needed anything!! Food was good but the service was even better! 10 outta 10 recommend!!

I took my sister here for the 1st time and the food is absolutely amazing! Our server Hailey was so great in helping us decide on what to choose on the menu. YOU NEED TO TRY THE FRENCH TOAST BITES!!!!! Food so GOOD! We will definitely be frequenting here 😋😋😋

Great quick meal and always consistent food and service. Shout out to Ashley for ensuring my egg white omelette was made to order.

Food was delicious as always! Service time was great, no long wait. My server Ashley was EXCELLENT! Will be back again!

We had the best experience ever!! Ashley, our waitress was over and beyond kind , friendly and helpful with suggestions. We will definitely be back!!

Awesome brunch today. The food is always amazing. Each time we go we struggle with ordering what we have enjoyed previously with trying new stuff. Today we enjoyed the banana cream beignets and candied maple bacon to start. Wow. And our main courses were equally excellent. I recommend making a reservation as the wait can get long.

Found this place on Yelp, and the food was pretty solid. I will say, though, their waitlist and host situation is a bit of a mess. The area is super small with zero organization. We were in town for a football game, so I imagine it was busier than usual, but the hostess still seemed extremely overwhelmed and unsure of what was going on. Thankfully, the general manager ended up seating us, and he was extremely nice--our server was great as well. We all ordered mimosa flights, which were just okay. They had way too much juice for my taste, and the glasses weren't filled anywhere near the top. But the food made up for it. I had the Benedict Trio, which was amazing--super flavorful and very filling. The beignets were also hot, fresh, and delicious. Overall, a good spot for food, but the front-of-house operations could definitely use some improvement.

Well for starters , trying to leverage OpenTable as a swift way to seat people had about 12 people JAMMED in the small waiting area as they figured out where to seat everyone, restaurant was about 3/4 full, so it's a no brainer here- but that was the start. Second, took about 10 minutes for server to get to table, nice guy, but I blame on the house for SURE. Fried green tomatoes come out, usually pretty good but together , COLD bacon, bad presentation and they were just off, POOR. We only then just ordered a few sides of eggs, grits and bacon, and would you believe it- ALL WERE TRASH Eggs were eggy and wet like, absolutely disgusting, the potatoes were hard and over salted and the grits were watery and bland. I will NEVER come back to this place, I see they have a lot of people fooled, but I am onto it and would discourage ANYONE to come here, or at least don't come here and wait 45 Minutes for SLOW service and LOUSY food.

Food - I ordered biscuits and gravy and though it wasn't terrible, I wouldn't order it again. The gravy was greasy and had a weird smell. 6/10 Customer Service - The server seemed like she knew what she was doing, but the restaurant lacked professionalism. All the servers were at the bar laughing and talking. 6/10 Ambiance - 8/10

We were greeted and seated immediately. It did take a little minute for our waiter to come to our table but she took our order quickly and put it in the system. I ordered the gulf shrimp omelette with breakfast potatoes, gluten-free toast, fruit salad, and chicken sausage. I also ordered an Earl Grey hot tea. So the food didn't take long to come out and the food did look good when it came out , for the most part. The side fruit salad was not great. I would not recommend it. Also, the toast came out cold, which was odd. The golf shrimp omelette was great. I got it without cheese. The breakfast potatoes, the ones that were not too crispy, were good and the chicken sausage was exceptional. Overall, I was really excited about coming here because they have a lot of history behind the restaurant, as well as they clearly mark their allergens, but it was a bit underwhelming.

The food and service was great. It was a little busy, but we were able to get seated promptly. We ended up sitting at the bar and the young lady at the bar who took our order was very attentive. I ordered the shrimp omelette and it came with grits and a biscuit. I plan on trying other options the next time I'm in town.

Healthy breakfast that is quick and tastes great! If you want to try something local and has good breakfast food at a decent price, this is your place. Lots of menu options for breakfast. The only drawback is it closes around 2pm daily. The service is great and it is usually packed. Everything was plated well and delicious. I kinda wish the portions were larger though.

Ruby Slipper was DELICIOUS as always! It really doesn't matter what you order, you will enjoy your meal! Always such a good brunch experience. Make sure to join the waitlist on their website if you are going for weekend brunch!

A nice restaurant serving breakfast. This cafe adds the Louisiana touch with a little spice. I ordered the Spanish Omelet. It comes with a choice of grits or hashbrowns. I chose the latter which came with a spicy ketchup. Additionally, it has a biscuit. The food was delicious. Our server came over numerous times to ensure we enjoyed our meal. I noticed other servers doing the same. I liked the set up and the wall signs and decorations. So if you are in Baton Rouge or just passing by, stop and have a bite at the Ruby Slippers Cafe.

Ashley the server for the win again! Friendly and great service. Go to breakfast spot in BTR.

Food was great! Service was great and it was really cute. I'd go back, get the fried green tomatoes soooo good and French toast bites!

Just had an incredible brunch with my girls after Black Friday shopping. Our server was amazing! Ashley was super friendly efficient and made it a point to ensure everything was good. Food was outstanding!! Highly recommend the Eggs Blackstone!

I visited on a Sunday afternoon, so it was busy. I was seated upon arrival but wasn't informed that there would be a wait before my waiter could come to the table. It took over 5 minutes for my waiter to greet me. While I waited, I saw several staff members in the area, but no one acknowledged me--not even a simple "someone will be with you shortly" or "sorry for the wait." I understand it was busy, but a little acknowledgment goes a long way. When my waiter did arrive, he seemed very timid and didn't say much, but I was ready to order. I got the loaded tots, shrimp & grits, and pig candy bacon bites. The food came out quickly, but it was just okay--not as good as my previous visit. My waiter also took a while to check back after bringing my food. Overall, my experience was underwhelming, but it may have just been an off day. I'd be willing to give it another chance.

I've eaten at several locations before but my first time here. The hostess was not happy to be at work. RBF was really strong on her. She was very unpleasant. Same with her manager, Shawn. Bless him he needed more coffee and a smile. Very unconcerned with customers. But Mason was awesome. Very nice, attentive. The food was amazing as always, kudos to the kitchen staff.

When we arrived, it was busy but not overly so. The noise level was pretty low for the number of people, and I really appreciated that. We opted for first available seating and were seated quickly on the patio and our server, Marcus, took great care of us! He helped with suggestions and I ordered the White Chocolate Bread Pudding pancakes, chicken sausage and eggs. Although the pancakes were thinner than I would have liked, the flavor was amazing! Also, the chicken sausage was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. Marcus kept the coffee coming and made sure it was steaming hot. Overall, a great experience!

The service was good, the food was ok. I could have just been what I ordered but they cooked it very hard. Almost like they over cook their food. The lady sitting my me, had a hard biscuit. She had them give her another one because it was hard as a brick. I opted for the Southern BLT it was decent, very dry could have probably used some jam or something to go with it. My mimosa was pretty good. I should have gotten the flight because I wanted more after drinking that one mimosa. The ambience was good, met two nice ladies at the bar. We chatted, drank and laughed together. I would like to try a different location to see what all the Ruby Slipper fuss is about. The two ladies at the bar I met said the New Orleans location is better.

We got on the wait list (15-20 mins) for a family of 4. An hour later, we noticed multiple people came in and were placed on the list and then seated before we were ever seated. 30 mins later I then asked the wait staff about us, and they said they forgot and then seated us. We ordered our food and drinks, I ordered coffee and a water as drinks. Coffee was never refilled, even asking for more coffee. We saw our waitress 3 times, once when we ordered, once when we got our food, and once when we paid the bill. After I paid the bill, she asked if I wanted a refill of water. I told here no that we were leaving. The food was decent but the service was not. I do not recommend this place.

Everything was great! Ashley was such an attentive and professional waitress. Would come back!

ON THE ROAD AGAIN!!! Great little place. I'm happy I found Ruby Slipper. Camron was the best. He's super friendly & provided us with great service. Food was warm and delicious. So appreciate a place like this. Cute as a button, friendly staff and excellent food. They make a kick ass mimosas. Love

Fabulous breakfast today at The Ruby Slipper!! Loved the fried green tomatoes and the biscuit and grits. Ashley at table 12 was an amazing waitress. She was fast, thoughtful, and on top of everything! Just superb!

Food is always fabulous...get the bread pudding pancakes!! Wait staff is fabulous and we did not have to wait for a table.

Ruby Slipper in Baton Rouge is the definition of Southern hospitality and comfort food done right! I came in for breakfast and was immediately welcomed by the warm and friendly atmosphere. My amazing server, Ashley, truly made the experience special--her kindness and enthusiasm made me feel like I was dining in the home of a friend. Her easy smile was disarming and her pleasant way made the whole experience deliciously enjoyable. I ordered the ruby buttermilk biscuits and sausage country gravy with two eggs over medium, and crispy, applewood bacon, and let me tell you--pure breakfast perfection! The biscuits were fluffy, the gravy rich and savory, and the eggs cooked exactly the way I like them. But Ashley convinced me to try the peaches and cream beignets, and I am so glad she did! These are New Orleans style beignets with vanilla cheesecake and peach, compote, topped with whiskey, cream sauce, whipped cream, and cinnamon graham crumble. Immediate love affair. They were a heavenly blend of crispy, soft, and sweet--a must-try for anyone visiting. Ruby Slipper is the kind of place that makes you want to linger, soak in the friendly vibe, and savor every bite. They have a full bar and outdoor dining. If you're looking for a wonderful neighborhood dining experience in Baton Rouge, this spot should be at the top of your list! #foodporn #foodphotography #healthyfood #Louisiana #BatonRouge #Comfortfood #beignets #breakfast

Awesome service and food! Really enjoyed eating here for LSU family weekend with my family!

The service was a 10/10. Our waitress said the kitchen was a little backed up since it was Sunday brunch but the food was still great. She also said that the Chicken St. Charles was the best item on the menu and I totally agree.

Ashley was such a great waitress. Attentive and kind and gave great service. Restaurant was clean and food was delicious.

I have become addicted to this latte! My favorite in Baton Rouge - even compared to all the coffee shops. Also love the selection of pancakes and benedicts. Only complaint is the inconsistency at Ruby Slipper. On a good day it is delish!!

Ashely C. was a great server! We got there just before the morning rush and was in and out! Super satisfied

The atmosphere was on point, very home-y and also very modern! Our server Ashley was very attentive, super duper friendly, and made the experience that much better. Would 100% come back and request Ashley! We ordered the Very Berry Beignets, absolutely delicious, just the right temperature, crispy outside and delicious soft inside. The whip cream adds the perfect cooling taste to it all. I personally had their Biscuits and Gravy and absolutely delicious, the gravy was creamy, the sausage was perfectly cooked and seasoned! The bacon was absolute perfection, crispy and soft without being too greasy. The eggs were so so so good, nice and creamy yolk! Again, total props to the kitchen, and especially Ashley as she was so friendly and really made the experience that much more inviting and memorable!

This place is always packed but serve a pretty decent breakfast/brunch for the most part. Pretty strict on substitutions on combos and the grits were burnt and watery the last time I went but the atmosphere is typically nice and high tempo.

The French toast bites tasted like croutons dipped sugar. The fish and grits was very bland and the portion was tiny. The service was slow and we could get get plates because the dishwashing was backed up. Not worth the effort.

I was really excited to return to a RS location as I have been to ones in New Orleans and Charlotte. Today's visit felt like a betrayal of everything I know about RS. I knew the wait times got a little crazy and got on the list via their website. No problems with getting sat after checking in and short wait. Got sat behind the bar in the corner booth and didn't get service for 15 minutes. Ordered the migas and breakfast sandwich with potatoes. Cheese on sandwich was so cold like it was an after thought. Potatoes were burnt and looked like they came from the bottom of the bag. Eggs on migas were so wet I thought they were undercooked. Everything was so bad. The waiter removed the migas from the bill and brought a new cup of potatoes that didn't look much better than the original order. I would go back in New Orleans and maybe another city but this place is off my Baton Rouge list.

The food, service, and ambiance were all outstanding. I had the catfish with Tasso cream sauce over creamy grits served with their homemade biscuit for a late breakfast and it was awesome!

I was told Ruby Slipper was an institution in Baton Rouge so we visited for brunch. Made reservations and had to wait to get seated when it was time but the biscuits made it all worth it. The place gets really busy and spacing is a little tight but the service was great and the food was delicious. Highly recommend anyone visiting Baton Rouge to stop by Ruby Slipper for breakfast/brunch.

Amazing food and even better service!! Atmosphere was cozy! Demarcus & April were our servers and they were great!

Had a great brunch while visiting LSU with my son and friends. This place may have been busier because of game day (Geaux Tigers!) but we didn't mind sitting at the small bar but otherwise a 15 minute wait for 3 at 10 am isn't too bad for a brunch spot in college town. Clean space with bar seating for few solo or twosomes for quick seating and they have a great list of cocktails for those interested. I am an eggs Benedict fanatic... The 1/2 and 1/2 eggs Benedict "Peacemaker" with the Cochon and Blackstone was a match made in belly heaven for me! Great poached egg and I added some breakfast potatoes to complete. My son ordered French toast which my dad tax verified as tasty. Also the French toast sampler allowed everyone to try a bite or two. The food came out without delay. The staff was attentive to our needs. Highly recommend for brunch and hopefully my son gets accepted and this gives me a spot to visit in the future!

Ashley was wonderful! She was prompt and kind, and I always love the new orleans style coffee

Every single thing about this restaurant was good..excellent service and the biscuits and gravy were amazing.

Food (gluten-free options); excellent GF French Toast, yum. Service is good, ambience is busy but worth it. Waitlist necessary unless arriving at open.

I was looking forward to eating here. The wait time to be seated was not long but the wait time for the food was. They were busy but the service was great. I ordered breakfast tacos and they were decent, but I felt like the food portion was kind of small. I am not opposed to trying it again.

Ruby Slipper has amazing service and even better food! This is my third visit to the restaurant and the food has been great every time. During the government shutdown, there are not very many places, in this area, jumping at the chance to help fellow citizens that are working without getting paid. It's refreshing to know that businesses in our community are willing to help others in their time of need. I am going to continue to dine here long after the shutdown is over.

Great food and atmosphere, even better service from Sam. We will definitely be back again here again.

My friend and I were in town for the UF vs LSU game and we decided to grab brunch before venturing around the city. Although Ruby Slipper Cafe didn't have the highest reviews, the ambiance looked nice and so we decided to chance it. When we arrived, there were lots of people waiting outside - turns out the wait was a true hour for a table for two on this particular Saturday. Luckily, Ruby Slipper Cafe is located in a busy shopping center so we killed some time at Lululemon and Trader Joe's. When our table was called, there was still a long line inside, but we walked right up and were seated right away. The ambiance of the restaurant is busy and bustling but not loud. There's the typical brunch energy in the air, with excited patrons enjoying cups of coffee ready to dig in to their meals. Curious, I ordered the MIMOSA FLIGHT: sparkling wine paired with Blueberry Lavender, Watermelon Pomegranate, Pineapple Peach Bellini, and Blue Orange. Due to some accident at the bar, this didn't arrive until after our meals were delivered, but y'all. This is AWFUL. Hands down and easily the worst mimosas I've ever had in my life. My first taste was the blood orange and turns out, that was the only decent one. I forced down most of the pineapple peach bellini and could not even drink the blueberry lavender or watermelon pomegranate holding my nose. I hate wasting alcohol but I simply could not drink these. I'm not sure what made these drinks so awful, but omgosh, bad bad bad. On to the food! I wanted to experience some Louisiana influence, so I had the GULF FISH CREOLE: grilled gulf fish, corn maque choux, flash-fried capers, gulf shrimp and creole sauce. This dish was very delicious! The fish was cooked well and I liked the combination of the corn with the creole sauce. No complaints here. My friend had the SWEET HEAT CHICKEN & FRENCH TOAST BITES: Fried chicken and fresh strawberries tossed in Mike's Hot Honey glaze over French toast bites. He was intrigued by the Mike's Hot Honey glaze versus having the entire dish drenched in maple syrup. He ended up finishing every bite so I think he'd recommend the dish! I had a bite of the fried chicken and it was juicy and delicious. Service was great and attentive. Overall not too many complaints about this place, however, I wouldn't say the food (and definitely not the drinks) are worth the hour wait if that's what it takes to dine here.

Great traditional breakfast spot in Baton Rouge! I came here on a Saturday morning and it was definitely busy! I was able to get in right away because I was willing to sit at the bar however it was about 20-30 min wait for people who preferred a table. Apparently you can go online and reserve a waiting time but you still have to checkin once you get there, which seemed to be the same wait time as just walking in without checking in online. Food was very delicious and their hot coffee really hit the spot for me on a cold morning that it was. Ambiance was like a traditional brunch spot, it was clean, busy , and the smell of bacon filling the air ! I highly recommend coming here for you breakfast/brunch mornings and don't be surprised if there's a little bit of a wait on a weekend morning, but it'll be worth the wait!

This morning went smooth thanks yo AJ!!!!! After an unsuccessful attempt through the app, AJ took my order for 10 and had my food packed and ready to go in minutes! Thanks to him and the service, our PD started on time! Thanks AJ! I'll be back!!!

Visiting Baton Rouge for USBC tournament and staff at our hotel recommended this place naming the St Charles biscuit (?) thing. We decided to try it and we loved it! I got a ham and cheese omelet, and the other two ordered sweet heat chicken French toast bites and other got classic breakfast sandwich. We all ordered coffee. The food was excellent, we all cleaned out plates in short order. The coffee was great as well, worth the price. Service was great, our server came by plenty of times for us to get refills and was very pleasant. Ambiance was pretty much on par with most breakfast places, fancier than a Waffle House but not as fancy as what you would find in a 5 star hotel. Would definitely recommend, especially because of how good the coffee is. Cost was $75 for 3 people (that includes the tip and a less than one dollar donation). The portion sizes won't wow bigger eaters, BUT...I am one of those bigger eaters and I definitely walked out plenty full.

This location was a huge disappointment. I was excited to dine here since the one in NOLA was good. The service was horrible. We werent greeted. All staff seemed like they didn't want to be there. The food was served lukewarm and was unappetizing. I would not recommend this location at all
