Ruby’s Southern Comfort Kitchen Opens New Bowie Location

Ruby's Southern Comfort Kitchen, known for its Southern cuisine and warm hospitality, moved from Old Laurel Bowie Road to the Pier One location at 4410 Mitchellville Road.

The restaurant was originally founded as a tribute to the family matriarch, Ruby, who migrated from South Carolina to DC in the early 1900s. Ruby's six sons, along with subsequent generations, continue to honor her traditions through the authentic flavors served at the restaurant.

The restaurant describes, "The aim of Ruby's is to offer not just food, but an experience reminiscent of visiting your favorite Auntie's house in the South. We want our guests to savor the authentic taste of soul food while being enveloped in the warm embrace of Southern hospitality."

The menu features a variety of beloved dishes including the crispiest fried chicken, soulful collard greens, and creamy mac and cheese. Patrons are encouraged to indulge in soul-satisfying brunches with signature dishes like chicken and waffles, or to inquire about catering services for larger gatherings.
