Ashley was amazing! She checked in on us and made sure we were taken care of. Food is delicious!
Terrible location. We were first offered a seat with 3 inches of bar table in the corner. Then, we were upgraded to a different bar by the exit (where people keep bumping into you) with 5 inches of table. There were about 5 normal empty tables in the restaurant. I understand sitting there if there’s no space, but there was plenty of normal seating.
No soap in bathroom, 2 separate hand sanitizer stations empty, was asked half-way through eating my food whether “I’m done with my water glass” instead of having it refilled. I could go on and on. Terrible management.

Horrible management. Horrible seating. Made a reservation, except they’d given our table away or didn’t even have the reservation. Absolutely horrible atmosphere, absolutely horrible hostess. Genuinely one of the worst spots in Baton Rouge

A casual breakfast spot located at the end of a strip mall, Ruby Slippers is a quick and accessible option for those looking for a carb heavy southern breakfast. We were able to be seated as walk-ins on Presidents Day morning, although the place was absolutely packed. The service here was warm and the food came out moderately quick. This place feels like one of those higher end casual spots, definitely a step above IHOP, but not quite First Watch.
We ordered a bunch of things so we’ll break it down one by one:
Pancakes with bacon - a bit of a letdown. Pancakes had no real flavor and the bacon was good, not great.
Beignets - pretty good. Better than some we’ve had for sure, a nice sweet and doughy treat.
French toast bites - very delicious. Came with a nice, sweet dipping sauce that really brought it home.
Fried catfish & grits - hit and a miss. The catfish was delicious and lightly battered, the grits were very heavy and buttery which didn’t go well with the catfish. It does also come with a biscuit that was light and buttery.
Creamy vanilla iced coffee - good. Nothing too special, definitely better than a chain like Starbucks, that’s for sure. It had a nice sweetness to it.
Altogether, Ruby Slipper is a decent breakfast spot. Nothing we ate really hit it out of the park, but we were satisfied with our meal. It really seems like a local favorite spot and one that feels convenient to hit coming and going from NOLA. If you’re looking for quick, convenient, and moderately cheap, this is the spot you’re searching for.

Ashley was fantastic and handled our 10-person party with grace. I'm not from the area, but if I'm ever in Baton Rouge again, I will be back!

Rick provided exceptional service during my visit. He was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, making great recommendations. His positive attitude really enhanced the dining experience. I highly recommend asking for Rick if you want top-notch service at. Rick also made me laugh and giggle. I had the best time of my entire life here and the food was the best food I’ve ever eaten in my whole life. All in all the best retiring and server in the world.
