The Ruby Slipper Restaurant Group Story:

Ruby Slipper Restaurant Group is one of the fastest growing restaurant groups in the Southern United States. Born from a small storefront in New Orleans’ Mid-City neighborhood, the group has grown to operate two brands with multiple restaurants (and we're still growing!). Both Ruby Slipper Café and Ruby Sunshine put a Big Easy twist on Southern brunch classics. We believe that there’s no place like brunch. It’s not just food, or a meal, it’s a culture! A common ground, a community, a lifestyle – we’re all about #thatbrunchlife!
