Beloved Southern dessert gets the brunch treatment in two indulgent dishes, available Aug. 20 for a limited time
Ruby Slipper and Ruby Sunshine are dipping into fall decadence. The brunch brands’ newest limited-time menu, available at all locations starting Aug. 20, transforms a nostalgic Southern favorite – banana pudding – into two over-the-top creations:
- Banana Pudding Beignets: a New Orleans-style treat with a creamy twist, filled with banana pudding cheesecake and finished with warm bananas foster sauce, vanilla wafer crumbs, whipped cream and a maraschino cherry
- Banana Pudding Stuffed French Toast: a fork and knife version of the beignets that layers buttery brioche with the same luscious banana pudding cheesecake, topping it with bananas foster sauce, vanilla wafer crumbs, whipped cream and a maraschino cherry
“This menu is our way of celebrating fall flavors while staying true to Ruby’s creative, non-conventional approach to brunch,” said Chef Marla Chu, culinary director for Ruby Slipper and Ruby Sunshine. “Banana pudding is rich, comforting and unmistakably Southern – the kind of flavor that wraps you up like a blanket and turns an ordinary brunch into something special.”

Born from the undeniable spirit and soul of New Orleans, a place where the good times roll on no particular day of the week or time of the day, the brands set out to create a place that celebrates the craveable and creative flavor and spirit of brunch front and center every day. Ruby Slipper was founded in New Orleans in 2008 to help bring the community together over a shared love for brunch. More than 16 years since that first cozy Ruby Slipper Cafe, the group has grown to operate two brands, expanding with Ruby Sunshine, and has 26 restaurants in six states. In 2025, Ruby Slipper and Ruby Sunshine were named among America’s top breakfast chains in Newsweek’s Readers’ Choice Awards, earning the No. 2 spot in the national poll thanks to their Southern hospitality, made-from-scratch flavors and loyal guests nationwide. Both brands are open seven days a week, serving an array of offerings from breakfast, lunch, brunch, coffee and cocktails.
