Ruby Sunshine - Charlotte

Went on a Thursday and there was no wait. Drinks were great along with the service. Shrimp and grits great will come back!

Incredible, hearty breakfast spot. Chicken St. Charles Benedict was delightful! Place is always busy, but they have call ahead and an online waitlist that will help save time.

Long wait!... again very long wait but used the online waitlist to offset the general wait. My food was great the hot chicken and French toast bites! They were out of a lot of food by the time of our reservation at 2. The fish dish and several drinks were out. I feel like they should have more food/drinks available, but it is what it is. I would like come back earlier and try some other items on the menu, but I was satisfied with my meal. I suggest giving it a try. Not so much a fan of their drinks and also their fried green tomatoes were soooo thin and just ok.

Ok, so I love this chain. The French Toast Bites and Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes are delicious and this location was no disappointment.However....I have asked for extra cream cheese icing in the past at another location and wasn't charged....and was given more than here.This location charged me $1 per tiny cup of extra icing. I'm talking probably a tablespoon....and I wasn't notified of a charge when I asked for the first or second extra.First...the amount on the Pancakes is definitely NOT enough to enjoy it as a topping and they barely put enough on the French Toast Bites. For the Pancakes, you get enough icing for literally half of one Pancake. I don't understand the charge of $1 for a literal tablespoon of icing. Next time...I'm bringing my own so I have enough. Dry Pancakes aren't good and Syrup doesn't go with the cinnamon swirl....It wasn't busy at opening on a Sunday and there was still some street parking but it was filling up fast as the morning went on.It's always cold in this chain, making the food cold fast.Cheese Grits and Biscuits were also good. I can see how these Biscuits wouldn't be for everyone, but I like them. My daughter did not. We ordered the meal of French Toast Bites instead of the Appetizer to have more and an extra side.

Okay Ruby Sunshine is amazing. This is a New Orlenes style restaurant specializing in breakfast, brunch, and cocktails. The decor is very quaint and cute and I was greeted by very friendly staff. Everyone is so laid back but very professional. I felt comfortable right away. Let me tell you, this menu is amazing. Pancakes, french toast, seasonal beignets, salmon, shrimp, chicken. I settled on the Chicken St Charles! This is the most flavorful chicken i've ever had and it was seasoned through and through. Chicken is placed on a buttermilk biscuit with a packed egg and creole crema. They have an amazing bar with amazing cocktails. A great place to have brunch with one or many friends. I will def be back soon.
