The new Ruby Lee’s on Wild Horse!
The new Ruby Lee’s offers more of what patrons of Hilton Head Island have come to love and expect in the past: delicious southern cooking and a comfortable yet stimulating atmosphere that offers the perfect way to enjoy sports or outstanding blues, jazz and soul from local and regional artists. If you’re not familiar with Ruby Lee’s, it’s a locally owned restaurant, started by Tim Singleton (known to Low-country residents as an athlete and head coach). The restaurant is named for Singleton’s late grandmother who is the inspiration for the Southern-style menu. The new and revamped version of the original; yet it still captures the Southern feel-good themes that have an uncanny way of making you hungry for fried chicken, shrimp and grits, corn bread, and sweet tea the moment you walk in the door. If, for some reason, you’re not quite ready to eat after walking in the door of Ruby Lee’s, you’ll notice a pang of hunger once you look at the menu.

The restaurant was closed and we were not able to experience it. Their website is not good—says it is open on Mondays then another page says it is closed. Just very sloppy.

Food and music were great! The owner (Tim) was making sure everyone was taken care of. Food was great…fried okra, low country boil…delicious. Service was excellent between the service staff and owner filling up drinks and getting food out to the customers. The band was a great! Fun evening!!

Open table allowed us to book a table easily. However, the restaurant was closed because of an ice/snow storm that closed almost all businesses on Hilton Head Island.

The food here is absolutely outstanding as always. It never disappoints. The music is always good but that often makes the restaurant a difficult place to hold a conversation. It is kind of expensive for the are but worth it.
