We have come back here twice in 1 week! This is now my favorite lunch/brunch spot. I'm a huge fan of bloody Maria's. And they have plenty of tequila options here!! The spiked iced coffee drinks are excellent, and very strong. Get the beignets. Powdered sugar goodness. I'm not exaggerating this enough. They are perfect, not too filling either. For entrees I ordered the eggs cochon. perfectly poached eggs with hollandaise sauce rested on a buttery biscuit. The pulled pork was break apart with your fork tender. The St. Charles Chicken Benny was just as great. The fried chicken was delicious. The inside was nicely decorated & service was great! Thanks to our server Carter. Thank you Ruby Sunshine!

I was not a fan of this restaurant in the least. I gave it a 2 instead of a 1 because our waitress was phenomenal. The food however was awful. I got a chicken sausage and egg biscuit sandwich and it wasn't edible. The chicken sausage tasted like a frozen patty - it was thick and hard and rubbery-like and the eggs were runny. The biscuit was pretty okay; that's the only part I was able to complete. Tots were just ok. Our table got the beignets and it wasn't bad but definitely more biscuit like. My latte was nice however!This place was your typical chain, nothing special. Parking was free and the staff were nice - service takes forever though. I wouldn't come back unfortunately.

Went on a Friday morning, restaurant not crowded so the hostess directed us to the left side to pick a table, literally all unoccupied low top tables were still dirty with dishes. We didn't want to the high top seating so we go over to the right side and picked a table. No dishes on it but looked like it hadn't been wiped off so had to ask them to do that. Same person who sat is was our waiter. I ordered mimosa flight and my friend and I ordered the green tomatoes for an app and our separate entrees. All food came out at the same time instead of the app being first. Had to ask for syrup after a few min of seeing they weren't going to bring it. My mimosas didn't come out til almost at the end of the meal, that's after I had to remind them abt it. At least the food was delish and fresh but wasn't overly impressed with the service.

We visited today, and unfortunately, everything was disappointing--from the food to the service. The coffee tasted like dishwater, and we waited about 40 minutes for our food. After complaining about the long wait, our meals finally arrived, but they were excessively oily. As I started eating the potatoes, I bit into something so hard it felt like a stone. We left without finishing our food and will never be returning.

I got waited by Rae here and she was very sweet and accommodating and refilled our drinks in a timely manner. I got the Classic Breakfast Sandwich and subbed the bacon for the chicken sausage patties which was very good, but I wish they only used one patty instead of two because it's was a bit too much to eat for each bite. The scrambled eggs with the cheese was so good and I wish the potatoes had a bit more flavors to them. Otherwise, good, solid experience.

Date of visit: July 13, 2024We were not feeling the breakfast at our hotel (if you could call it that) and this was a place that we could walk over to quickly before needing to head out for the day. This is a chain and we had apparently visited one of these locations in another state, though I did not recall that when my husband reminded me.Service was fun and friendly, and I really enjoyed my white chocolate pancakes and the bacon on the side was very close to how I like it (chewy only, please!). Would definitely visit another Ruby Sunshine in the future should our travels bring us as close to another outlet as we were to this one.

Went there for brunch a couple times. Got the migas with shrimp both times and it was good! If you enjoy a little kick, add some hot sauce, it'll elevate the flavor! The staff was nice and helpful. Nothing special about the ambience but it gives cozy vibes. I would come here again but it's not one of those "omg you must check it out" type place to me.

A little bit of New Orleans in Charlotte. We wanted to have a good brunch on our day off for Juneteenth and decided to check out the converted Cantina 1511 into Ruby Sunshine. Jo Jo was our server and she was great. Super sweet and attentive. I started with a Mimosa flight, but they all tasted similar and I couldn't distinguish which was which. I ordered the Gulf shrimp omelette without onions and peppers because I'm basic like that. It came with a biscuit and grits that I gave to my husband. I'm a Southerner who doesn't eat grits. My omelette was really good. It was filled with sizable and flavorful shrimp; they met my shrimp to egg ratio. The biscuit was a tad dry but the maple flavored butter made it amazing. Hubby said the grits lacked flavor. Overall, a decent experience. Do I have to go back? Not necessarily because there are so many fabulous brunch options in the area.
