Ruby’s New York Style Bagels

Ruby's is widely regarded as the best bagel option in the greater Charleston area, earning consistent praise from Northeast transplants who say the bagels hold up against authentic NY standards — with the Rico sandwich and specialty coffees as frequent standouts. However, recent reviewers have flagged a noticeable quality decline, citing skimpy portion sizes relative to the price (sandwich prices running $13–$20) and inconsistency, with at least one DoorDash reviewer noting it has 'gone downhill progressively over the last 6 months.' The West Ashley location on Ashley River Rd shares the same menu and reputation as the other three area locations.
