The New Orleans institution The Ruby Slipper Café arrived in Baton Rouge last year with quite a splash—our restaurant reviewer’s first attempt at brunch at the Acadian Village Shopping Center restaurant was met with a two-hour wait! Needless to say, the reviewer’s brunch party decided not to stick around. The second attempt was more successful, with only a 10 minute wait. No doubt this place is popular.

By the time the brunch party was greeted at the table, they managed to narrow their selections down.
