Our Story

Ruby Slipper Restaurant Group brings the unique flavors and hospitality of New Orleans to everyday breakfast and brunch at all Ruby Slipper Cafe and Ruby Sunshine locations. Founded in post-Katrina New Orleans, Jennifer and Erich Weishaupt revitalized a blighted corner store into a cozy restaurant with the hope that it would help draw people back to the community – and that’s exactly what it did. In the decade since opening that neighborhood storefront, the number of restaurants have grown, but the same powerful sense of homecoming is still present in each location. Both Ruby Slipper Cafe and Ruby Sunshine restaurants remain owned and operated by the original founders. They serve creative twists on brunch classics and eye-opening cocktails seven days a week.
