The Ruby Slipper Restaurant Group

Ruby Slipper Café and Ruby Sunshine restaurants bring the unique flavors and hospitality of New Orleans to everyday breakfast and brunch. Founded in post-Katrina New Orleans, Jennifer and Erich Weishaupt turned a blighted corner store into a cozy restaurant, with the hope that it would help draw people back to the Mid-City community. The Ruby Slipper Café was an instant hit, becoming a sought-out destination among both locals and visitors to the city. Since opening that neighborhood storefront, Ruby Slipper Restaurant Group has become one of the fastest-growing restaurant concepts in the Southern United States. In 2019, the restaurant group expanded by adding sister brand Ruby Sunshine and now operates over 18 restaurants in 5 states. Both Ruby Slipper Café and Ruby Sunshine remain owned and operated by the original founders. We serve all-day brunch and eye-opening cocktails seven days a week!
