football team. In December, the native islander teamed up with his mother, Deborah Govan, to open a unique Southern-style restaurant on the north end. Ruby Lee’s, named in honor of Singleton’s grandmother, is the island’s newest hotspot for sports, blues and soul food. “I get excited just talking about it,” Singleton said. “We’re making everything fresh, to-order. And we are able to offer it at an affordable price in a great location. The feedback has been great and people are really enjoying it.” Using time-tested family recipes, Ruby Lee’s serves up such comfort food classics as authentic fried chicken, southern fried pork chops, smoked baby back ribs, seasoned pulled pork, sautéed collard greens, fresh seafood and more. Live entertainment is offered at 7 p.m. Monday-Saturday. Along with good food and music, Ruby Lee’s is also the place to be for sports fans. The restaurant has all of the sports packages and offers a daily happy hour from 4-7 p.m. Plans for a Sunday brunch are in the works. “I think our eclectic appeal makes us stand out,” Singleton said. “We’ve got sports, blues and soul food … and our food can be healthy. We offer it in grilled and fried versions. We also have a build-your-own salad. We’re not trying to do too many things. The things we do, we’re going to do very well. The Lowcountry southern appeal is something we are going to try and master.” Ruby Lee’s is located at 46 Old Wild Horse Road, next to the Litter Box Thrift Store.

The coffee is fresh-roasted by Charleston microroaster Island Coffee each week. “Our coffee is the best in the area,” co-owner Krisztian Lonyai said. “(Island Coffee) imports beans from Costa Rica and Columbia, they roast them on

Tuesday and they get here on Wednesday. That’s the main reason why our coffee is so good and fresh.” Chocolates are provided by DeBrand Fine Chocolates, a company that has twice been listed among “Oprah’s Favorite Things” in Oprah Magazine. Desserts are from a small pastry shop outside of Charlotte. “Nothing that we have has preservatives,” Lonyai said. “Everything is very healthy.

Tavern 46

Bluffton welcomes a new restaurant & sports bar! Tavern 46 (located on Highway 46, just off U.S. 278) is a unique dining and entertainment destination in a familiar location. Formerly Montana’s Restaurant & Grizzly Bar, Tavern 46 has a new identity to match its new name. “This place has been through so many different changes over the past 10 or 12 years,” general manager Brad Barnette said. “It’s been a biker bar, it’s been a pool hall, it’s been a wild game restaurant, and it’s been a southern restaurant. There is no identity here. We’re just going to cut ties with Montana’s and create a new identity.” The casual, yet upscale dining atmosphere offers a menu including a delicious selection of steaks and local seafood. Try gourmet burgers, award-winning barbecue ribs, slow-cooked pork chops or one of many tastefully pleasing desserts. Tavern 46 features an exquisite bar, one of the largest in the Lowcountry. Offering a unique selection of 34 beers on tap (27 from craft microbrews), 15 flat screen TV’s, and service exceeding all expectations.
