The Ruby Slipper Restaurant Group Story:

Born from a small storefront in New Orleans’ Mid-City neighborhood, the Ruby Slipper Restaurant Group has grown to operate two brands with multiple restaurants in six states. 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 culture! A common ground, a community, a lifestyle – we’re all about #thatbrunchlife!
