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 food and the band were great. However, the additional entertainment surcharge of $11.00 per person was not disclosed before we made the reservation. Wondering is there is a better way to handle paying for live music. Or at least disclosing it prominently on open table.

    Service and food were fantastic. We wanted to eat dinner, share a bottle of wine and watch the band. We were not rushed or asked to leave at any point, Server was great and owner was on hand to interact with guests and make sure we had a great time. We were there for a few hours. The entertainment was the Ross Band with a saxiphonist, and it was nice to sit and listen to them as we drank our wine. Food prices are not cheap, but the food was fantastic. They also have many side dishes for only $5 each and nice appetizers if you have smaller appetite and budget. There is an $11 surcharge per adult (16 and older) starting around 7"00pm. This is a cover charge for the entertainment, and we were aware of that before we made our reservations.
