Food is always sooo good. Food was amazing. Waitress saved us money by ordering something else for our daughter instead of a la carte like we were going to.
Jessica C is a wonderful staff member! She made us feel welcomed and checked on us without being a bother. I was pretty proud of my French toast before we came into Ruby's. Mine doesn't even come close to the plate of deliciousness I enjoyed. DEFINITELY coming back the next time we drive through town!
Great place for breakfast or lunch. Big menu selection of breakfast foods. You can’t go wrong with anything you order. Biscuits and honey butter is fantastic! The candied bacon appetizer is great!!! Can never go wrong with bacon! Fried green tomatoes were very filling and tasty! Worth a stop anytime you’re close by!!!
Yeah, you can see this as the typical brunch spot—but with great lighting, amazing service, and incredible food! I loved everything about this place, which delayed our road trip to our next destination over the 4th of July weekend. I was excited to try the fried green tomatoes, which were flavorful and had the perfect amount of bacon on top—just tender. Ugh! I also ordered the avocado toast because I was excited about the pickled onions and capers, but it was honestly my least favorite dish and I carried it to the next hotel with me but ultimately didn’t eat it. It wasn’t bad; it just didn’t have as much flavor as I expected. Instead, I leaned into the shrimp omelette, which was packed with flavor from the fresh, succulent shrimp. Loved it! And I had an order of bananas foster French toast and literally licked the plate (I’m kidding). But it was that good. We talked about the French toast for days. I also liked the biscuit with their house made butter. I don’t see myself visiting Mobile again in the near future, but if I ever pass through, this would be a “MUST-STOP-HERE.”
We were visiting this area for the Mushroom Festival and wanted to enjoy a good home cooked breakfast... We Came Upon the Ruby Slipper and hands down, found what we were looking for My favorite breakfast item is eggs benedict and I can honestly say the Ruby Slipper has the best tasting benedict thus far!!! We also opted for the pumpkin beignets and ... oh my goodness as if there was a firework explosion in my mouth... we bit into heaven!!!! If I had a shrink gun and could shrink the Ruby Slipper and bring it to my hometown I would do so!!! You will be doing yourself a service by stopping here and enjoying one of their delicious meals!!!
This is one of my favorite staples in Downtown Mobile. The delicious flavor is well worth the price and I’m fortunate to always have great service. Out of the approximate 10+ experiences I’ve not had a bad meal, everything has been good if not great. 10/10 recommend and will be back again.
This is one of my favorite brunch places in Mobile! I highly recommend the Migas and trying the candied bacon app. Their cappuccino was also very good if you’re an espresso kind of person. Highly recommend this place for brunch if you’re in the area.
We got the trifecta and it was delicious. Just really well intentioned seasoning and sauce, expertly poached eggs, and a handmade fluffy buttermilk biscuit. Felt like home but with a new twist. Beignets were like pillows. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was bright, cheery, and welcoming. We’re from out of town and while there are clearly a lot of great breakfast/brunch places in Mobile, we picked this place because reviews were good but also because a certain other reviewer said the food was great but gave only two stars because the server was wearing a pride shirt. We visited this place because I believe that hospitality finds its way into the food, and if they’re welcoming to everyone, it’ll show in the quality of the food. That turned out to be true.
