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.

Great ambiance, my wife loved her food (fried chicken breast, collards, mac-n-cheese). However, I did not like my double cut pork chop. It was seasoned poorly with a lemony season and it smelled funny. I also had the collard greens and Mac-n-cheese. They were both good. The live entertainment was great! The service was not bad even though only one gentleman was the waiter, the bartender and at times the server. Great job multi-tasking, but he was also eating and drinking without washing his hands before taking orders, serving, and bartending. Please follow food safety practices. This is a nice restaurant that I would like to see build on its success. Also, don't over-think the seasoning for the pork chop. It was a great cut off meat, but that lemon seasoning was horrible. A simple garlic salt, season salt, and black pepper seasoning would've been much better.
