Off the Beaten Path
Join me on an adventure. Where will we go today?
![]() Last week, I met up with an old friend I had not seen since the early 1980s at the Ruby Slipper on Palafox Street in Pensacola, Florida. The place opened at 7:30 am, and parking was difficult to find. The place is popular! I parked three blocks up the street and walked down to the restaurant. These people believe in brunch all day. The New Orleans-inspired menu has multiple options Link to the menu here. https://www.rubybrunch.com/menu/?olonwp=JjBtp_vMLk25gkYh_bnoiQ The coffee is hot and tasty and kept refreshed. The service was terrific. I am gluten-intolerant, and multiple things on the menu are available with a bread substitute. I ordered the florentine omelet stuffed with portobello mushrooms, spinach, and goat cheese. Gluten-free toast spread with honey butter, and I am a happy camper. My friend ordered the southern breakfast with more food than she could eat. The biscuit was gigantic! She had scrambled eggs, stone-ground grits, applewood-smoked bacon, and the buttermilk biscuit sitting on a slice of fried green tomato. Looking around the restaurant, that appeared to be one of the most popular dishes. The price ranges from $8 to $15 depending on your order and add-ons like coffee. The restaurant closes early, at 2 pm during the week and 3 pm on weekends. The tables are close together. The place is popular, so I recommend reservations. With everything on one floor, it is easily accessible. Great food, affordable prices, cute decor, and fast service make it a place I will frequent again. There is one in their chain close to me in Chattanooga, Tennessee. It is on my list of places to review soon.
