Tatiana was fabulous! We were visiting from Ocala, FL and saw their Sandestin location which looked fabulouBeing we were traveling more west we ended up coming to this location. Atmosphere, cleanliness, and service was 5/5! Tatiana recommended great options and we ended up getting the Migas over medium eggs (which were cooked to perfection), 3 little pigs omelet (biscuits are incredibly fresh and flavorful), and last but not least the Banana Foster French Toast (WHAT- this was hands down the best French toast I’ve ever had)! We love finding new places for breakfast and this has to be my top favorite place! Thank you everyone!!

Had breakfast at Ruby Slipper and ordered the BYO omelet — solid choice. The coffee was great and kept coming, which is always a win. But honestly, the highlight was the staff. They had real personality and made the whole experience fun and welcoming. I’ll take that any day over a place with no personality at all. If you want really great service, ask for Amber and Evan. We went to see her multiple days in a row! Great food, great coffee, even better service. Would definitely go back.

I was able to enjoy a brunch here with the family of 12, and our lovely server Amber was phenomenal in making sure we were all taken care of. I enjoyed the beignets, with the sweet heat chicken and French toast bites. It was very delicious and recommended

Amazing Place! So, here is an honest review from a non-local (aka tourist) from Pittsburgh, PA. The hubby & I decided to just give Destin, FL a try for a few days of R&R prior to visiting family in Central FL prior to Christmas. We landed at airport, picked up our car rental about 10:15 AM & immediately started searching for a “brunch place” on Google Maps. Hubby started reading his suggestions to me and the descriptions of Eggs Benedict’s made me choose Ruby Slipper. Boy, am I glad we did! What an amazing find. The greeter/hostess was friendly & chatty, the ambience was homey, friendly & decorated so cute for Christmas. THEN, we met our delightful server Kristen M. She was absolutely perfect. Not pushy, patient as we looked over the extensive menu, answered our questions, gave her recommendations & when I couldn’t decide between two Benedict’s suggested the Peacemaker (one of each). The coffee was delicious & I kid you not, those Benedict’s were the best I have ever had. The Hollandaise sauce was different for each one and obviously made with love and from scratch. If not, I don’t want to know because I want the sauces to be homemade! But, let’s talk about the poached eggs:cooked to PERFECTION soft boiled and no runny ooze at all. I love Benedict’s but never like the overly runny eggs. I had one with bacon & tomatoes with spinach on a biscuit, and by far the BEST sauce EVER!!! The other one was a perfectly breaded, tender, juicy chicken breast, another perfectly cooked soft-placed egg and a different sauce. It was delicious too & I might have seen a mushroom? Not sure because I wolfed it down so fast. The bacon/tomato/spinach was MY favorite because of that crazy-good sauce. But, if you are a chicken lover, it is divine!! Just get The Peacemaker & try both! I know I am writing a book, but my gosh, I have to praise on our server Kristen M ❤️ She was simply perfection!!! If I was a local, I would go everyday for the food (so many amazing looking things to try) and I would request Kristen M. Attaching some pics. Be prepared for your mouth to water. Now, just go!!!! Oh! One last hot tip. They are offering a $50 gift card. If you buy one, you get a $10 gift card free (but can’t redeem it until January). We gifted ours to a beautiful lady who is local Oh, the hubby got a chicken sandwich and in his words “really good, tasty, crispy tots”. They close at 2:00 so brunch is their jam. JUST GO!!
**My ONLY regret** I forgot to buy that coffee. Our server said they sell it (beans or grounds??) not sure, I didn’t get to shop.
** Recommendations** I have already bragged about this place to our hotel check-in person and their handyman (both local).

Our server Mary was wonderful and attentive! She made a great recommendation on the Buddha Bowls and made our experience fun and relaxing. The pumpkin spice latte was delicious (and not too sweet!) and the pumpkin chai beignets are a perfect treat. This was the perfect end to a little getaway!

Ruby Slipper is a Great brunch place! My party visited while on vacation in the area & ordered several menu items including: Mimosas, beignets, omelets & traditional breakfast fare. Our food arrived quickly & we enjoyed our dishes. Our waitress was very personable & provided wonderful service! If you’re in the area & in the mood for brunch check them out.

Had a great brunch experience here. The biscuits and gravy were excellent, full of flavor and cooked perfectly. The Southern breakfast was also a great choice, and the coffee was fresh and hot.
The service was warm, friendly, and attentive, which made the whole experience even better.
The only reason for four stars instead of five is that the exterior of the building could use some attention. There was noticeable green mold on the front, which takes away a bit from the overall presentation.
Overall, still a great brunch spot in Destin and we’d come back again.

We were regulars and hadn’t been back for 5 years.
The food was decently good, especially the biscuits. Our server, Nell, was awful. My Mom received RAW eggs when she asked for over easy, the whites were still clear and runny. Like the egg was not evenly cooked. When we told Nell about this, she got argumentative and standoffish, stating “I don’t provide refunds just because customers don’t know how over easy eggs work”. My Mom almost started crying because she was so nasty and we had to pay full price. Very upsetting. I will NEVER be back.

The food was incredibly delicious. I highly recommend the chicken St. Charles, but a little tip if you like it a little spicy make sure to order the chicken with the hot honey sauce; it’s absolutely fantastic!
