Ruby Slipper

Tourist traps in New Orleans, but the food isn't awful. Fine if you can walk right in, but not worth the wait they usually have.

Breakfast is the cheapest meal of the day..I refuse to pay $40.00+ for breakfast for 2. Russel's marina grill is the only place that I will stand in line for..The City Diner is not bad either.

Funny story, maybe, me and the wife did this cooking experience thing a couple years ago. Basically you go to some house Uptown and a NOLA chef demonstrates how they cook for a group of 10-12 people. Being big Top Chef fans, we signed up for one with Nina Compton. The owners of Ruby Slipper were also in our group, and the wife owner made it known very early, to Nina, that she was a fellow restaurateur. So every time Nina would talk about the biz, Ruby Slipper would chime in with her experiences. She was annoying as frick, the rest of the group was eye rolling Ruby Slipper whenever she spoke.

Instead of staffing, maybe they should be concerned about putting quality food out.

I don't know many locals who go there. The tourists eat that shite up. They don't know better.

This is contradictory. Russel’s is expensive for breakfast.

Y'all are so full of shite..I can get breakfast and coffee for $10.00 a person at Russell's.
