	Ruby Tuesday, Inc., including its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“RTI,” the “Company,” “we,” and/or “our”), owns and operates Ruby Tuesday® casual dining and Lime Fresh Mexican Grill® (“Lime Fresh”) fast casual restaurants. We also franchise the Ruby Tuesday and Lime Fresh concepts in selected domestic and international markets. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring entries) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating results for the 13- and 39-week periods ended March 3, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the 52-week year ending June 2, 2015.
	The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 3, 2014 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP.
	For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in RTI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 3, 2014.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share [Text Block]	NOTE B - LOSS PER SHARE AND STOCK REPURCHASES
	Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period presented. Diluted loss per share gives effect to stock options and restricted stock outstanding during the applicable periods, if dilutive. The following table reflects the calculation of weighted-average common and dilutive potential common shares outstanding as presented in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss (in thousands, except per share data):
		Thirteen weeks ended						Thirty-nine weeks ended

	Stock options with an exercise price greater than the average market price of our common stock and certain options and restricted shares with unrecognized compensation expense do not impact the computation of diluted loss per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive. The following table summarizes stock options and restricted shares that did not impact the computation of diluted loss per share because their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect (in thousands):
		Thirteen weeks ended						Thirty-nine weeks ended
		March 3,			March 4,			March 3,			March 4,
		2015			2014			2015			2014

	Total		4,469			3,782			4,437			4,018
	*Due to a net loss from continuing operations for the 13 and 39 weeks ended March 3, 2015 and March 4, 2014, all outstanding share-based awards were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share.
	During the 39 weeks ended March 3, 2015, we repurchased an insignificant number of shares of our common stock at a cost of $0.1 million. As of March 3, 2015, the total number of remaining shares authorized by our Board of Directors to be repurchased was 11.8 million. All shares repurchased during the first 39 weeks of fiscal year 2015 were cancelled as of March 3, 2015.

Franchise Programs [Abstract]
Franchise Programs [Text Block]	NOTE C - FRANCHISE PROGRAMS
	As of March 3, 2015, our domestic and international franchisees collectively operated 79 Ruby Tuesday restaurants and seven Lime Fresh restaurants. We do not own any equity interest in our franchisees.
	Under the terms of the franchise operating agreements, we charge a royalty fee (generally 4.0% of monthly gross sales for our Ruby Tuesday concept franchisees and 5.25% of monthly gross sales for our Lime Fresh concept franchisees) and require all domestic franchisees to contribute a percentage, 1.5% as of March 3, 2015, of monthly gross sales to a national advertising fund formed to cover their pro rata portion of the production and airing costs associated with our national advertising campaign. Under the terms of those agreements, we can charge up to 3.0% of monthly gross sales for this national advertising fund.
	Advertising amounts received from domestic franchisees are considered by RTI to be reimbursements, recorded on an accrual basis as earned, and have been netted against Selling, general and administrative, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
	In addition to the advertising fee discussed above, our Ruby Tuesday concept franchise agreements allow us to charge up to a 2.0% support service fee and a 1.5% marketing and purchasing fee. For the 13 and 39 weeks ended March 3, 2015, we recorded $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, and for the 13 and 39 weeks ended March 4, 2014, we recorded $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, in support service and marketing and purchasing fees, which were an offset to Selling, general and administrative, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

	In an effort to focus primarily on the sales turnaround of our core Ruby Tuesday concept and secondly, to improve the financial performance of our Lime Fresh concept, we completed the closure of our Marlin & Ray’s, Wok Hay, and Truffles restaurants during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013. We have classified the results of operations of our Company-owned Marlin & Ray’s, Wok Hay, and Truffles concepts as discontinued operations for the 13 and 39 weeks ended March 4, 2014.

Inventory Disclosure [Text Block]	NOTE F - INVENTORIES
	Our merchandise inventory was $15.0 million and $12.9 million as of March 3, 2015 and June 3, 2014, respectively. In order to ensure adequate supply and competitive pricing, we sometimes purchase lobster in advance of our needs and store it in third-party facilities prior to our distributor taking possession of the inventory. The increase in our merchandise inventory from the end of the prior fiscal year is due primarily to advance purchases of lobster during the second quarter of fiscal year 2015.

	Less accumulated depreciation		593,574		571,992
		$	761,800	$	794,846
	* Surplus properties represent assets held for sale that are not classified as such in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as we do not expect to sell these assets within the next 12 months. These assets primarily consist of parcels of land upon which we have no intention to build restaurants, closed properties which include a building, and liquor licenses not needed for operations.
	Included within the current assets section of our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 3, 2015 and June 3, 2014 are amounts classified as held for sale totaling $5.1 million and $4.7 million, respectively. Assets held for sale primarily consist of parcels of land upon which we have no intention to build restaurants, land and buildings of closed restaurants, and various liquor licenses. During the 13 and 39 weeks ended March 3, 2015, we sold surplus properties with carrying values of $2.8 million and $7.3 million, respectively, at net gains of $0.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Cash proceeds, net of broker fees, from these sales during the 13 and 39 weeks ended March 3, 2015 totaled $3.0 million and $8.6 million, respectively. During the 13 and 39 weeks ended March 4, 2014, we sold surplus properties with carrying values of $1.9 million and $10.1 million, respectively, at net gains of $0.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Cash proceeds, net of broker fees, from these sales during the 13 and 39 weeks ended March 4, 2014 totaled $2.5 million and $10.8 million, respectively.
	Approximately 55% of our 677 Company-owned restaurants are located on leased properties. Of these, approximately 69% are land leases only; the other 31% are for both land and building. The initial terms of these leases expire at various dates over the next 22 years. These leases may also contain required increases in minimum rent at varying times during the lease term and have options to extend the terms of the leases at a rate that is included in the original lease agreement. Most of our leases require the payment of additional (contingent) rent that is based upon a percentage of restaurant sales above agreed upon sales levels for the year. These sales levels vary for each restaurant and are established in the lease agreements. We recognize contingent rental expense (in annual as well as interim periods) prior to the achievement of the specified target that triggers the contingent rental expense, provided that achievement of that target is considered probable.
	During the 39 weeks ended March 4, 2014, we completed sale-leaseback transactions of the land and building for three Company-owned Ruby Tuesday concept restaurants for gross cash proceeds of $5.9 million, exclusive of transaction costs of approximately $0.3 million. Equipment was not included. The carrying value of the properties sold was $4.8 million. The leases have been classified as operating leases and have initial terms of 15 years, with renewal options of up to 20 years following a rent reset based on fair market value at the end of the initial term. Net proceeds from fiscal year 2014’s sale-leaseback transactions were used for general corporate purposes, including debt payments and the repurchase of shares of our common stock.
	We realized gains on these sale-leaseback transactions during the 39 weeks ended March 4, 2014 of $0.8 million, which have been deferred and are being recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial terms of the leases. The current portion of the deferred gains on all sale-leaseback transactions was $1.1 million as of each of March 3, 2015 and June 3, 2014, and is included in Accrued liabilities - Rent and other in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The long-term portion of the deferred gains on all sale-leaseback transactions was $12.2 million and $13.0 million as of March 3, 2015 and June 3, 2014, respectively, and is included in Other deferred liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization of the deferred gains of $0.3 million and $0.8 million for each of the 13- and 39-week periods ended March 3, 2015 and March 4, 2014, respectively, is included within Other restaurant operating costs in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

	On May 14, 2012, we entered into an indenture (the “Indenture”) among Ruby Tuesday, Inc., certain subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as trustee, governing the Company’s $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.625% senior notes due 2020 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes were issued at a discount of $3.7 million, which is being amortized using the effective interest method over the eight-year term of the notes.
	The Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by our existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. They rank equal in right of payment with our existing and future senior indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any of our future subordinated indebtedness. The Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to all of our secured debt, including borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt and structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities of our existing and future subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Senior Notes.
	Interest on the Senior Notes is calculated at 7.625% per annum, payable semiannually on each May 15 and November 15 to holders of record on the May 1 or November 1 immediately preceding the interest payment date. Accrued interest on the Senior Notes and our other long-term debt and capital lease obligations is included in Accrued liabilities - Rent and other in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Senior Notes mature on May 15, 2020.
	At any time prior to May 15, 2016, we may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus an applicable “make-whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest. At any time on or after May 15, 2016, we may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices specified in the Indenture plus accrued and unpaid interest. At any time prior to May 15, 2015, we may redeem up to 35% of the Senior Notes from the proceeds of certain equity offerings. There is no sinking fund for the Senior Notes.
	The Indenture contains covenants that limit, among other things, our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; (ii) declare or pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions to stockholders; (iii) make certain investments; (iv) create liens or use assets as security in other transactions; (v) merge or consolidate, or sell, transfer, lease or dispose of substantially all of their assets; (vi) enter into transactions with affiliates; and (vii) sell or transfer certain assets. The Indenture also restricts the declaration and payment of a dividend or other distribution on, and/or repurchase by RTI in respect of, its outstanding common stock at any time and from time to time in an amount not to exceed $50.0 million in the aggregate. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications, as described in the Indenture, and certain covenants will not apply at any time when the Senior Notes are rated investment grade by the Rating Agencies, as defined in the Indenture. The Indenture also provides for events of default, which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Senior Notes to be due and payable immediately.
	On December 3, 2013, we entered into a four-year revolving credit agreement (the “Senior Credit Facility”) under which we may borrow up to $50.0 million with the option, subject to certain conditions, to increase the facility by up to $35.0 million. The Senior Credit Facility, which was obtained to provide access to capital for general corporate purposes, replaced a previous five-year $200.0 million credit facility that was set to expire in December 2015. The terms of the Senior Credit Facility provide for a $25.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit.
	Under the terms of the Senior Credit Facility, interest rates charged on borrowings can vary depending on the interest rate option we choose to utilize. Our options for the rate are a Base Rate or LIBOR, plus an applicable margin. The Base Rate is defined as the highest of the issuing bank’s prime rate, the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, or the Adjusted LIBO rate (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility) plus 1.0%. The applicable margin for the LIBOR rate-based option is a percentage ranging from 2.50% to 3.50% and for the Base Rate option is a percentage ranging from 1.50% to 2.50%. We pay commitment fees quarterly ranging from 0.40% to 0.75% on the unused portion of the Senior Credit Facility.
	As security for the Senior Credit Facility, we granted the lenders liens and security interests in substantially all of the shares of capital stock of the Company and each of our present and future subsidiaries, substantially all of the personal property of the Company and each of our present and future subsidiaries, and the real property, improvements, and fixtures of 49 Ruby Tuesday restaurants. The real property, improvements, and fixtures of the 49 restaurants pledged as collateral appraised at $101.4 million at the time of the transaction and have a March 3, 2015 net book value of $79.5 million.
	Under the Senior Credit Facility, we had no borrowings outstanding at March 3, 2015. After consideration of letters of credit outstanding, we had $37.5 million available under the Senior Credit Facility as of March 3, 2015.
	The Senior Credit Facility contains a number of customary affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict our ability to incur liens, engage in mergers or other fundamental changes, make acquisitions, investments, loans and advances, pay dividends or other distributions, sell or otherwise dispose of certain assets, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, enter into burdensome agreements or certain hedging agreements, amend organizational documents, change accounting practices, incur additional indebtedness and prepay other indebtedness. Under the terms of the Senior Credit Facility we are allowed, under certain circumstances, to repurchase up to $20.0 million of the Senior Notes in any fiscal year. We did not repurchase any Senior Notes during the 39 weeks ended March 3, 2015. The balance on the Senior Notes was $215.0 million at March 3, 2015.
	In addition, under the Senior Credit Facility, we are required to comply with financial covenants relating to the maintenance of a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The terms of the Senior Credit Facility require us to maintain a maximum leverage ratio of no more than 4.85 to 1.0 and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.35 to 1.0 for the quarter ended March 3, 2015. The minimum required ratios fluctuate thereafter as provided in the Senior Credit Facility.
	The Senior Credit Facility terminates no later than December 3, 2017.  Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the lenders may terminate the loan commitments, accelerate all loans and exercise any of their rights under the Senior Credit Facility and any ancillary loan documents.
	On December 3, 2013, in connection with our entry into the Senior Credit Facility, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into loan modification agreements (the “Loan Modification Agreements”) with certain mortgage lenders to, among other things, provide waivers and consents under certain of our mortgage loan obligations to enter into the Senior Credit Facility. The Loan Modification Agreements also, among other things, amend certain financial reporting requirements under the specified loans and modify and/or provide for certain financial covenants for the specified loans, including the minimum consolidated
	fixed charge coverage ratio and the minimum adjusted total debt to EBITDAR ratio.
	We were in compliance with our maximum leverage ratio and our minimum fixed charge coverage ratio as of March 3, 2015.
	Our $37.8 million in mortgage loan obligations as of March 3, 2015 consists of various loans acquired upon franchise acquisitions. These loans, which mature between June 2016 and November 2022, have balances which range from $0.2 million to $7.4 million and interest rates of 7.60% to 10.92%. Many of the properties acquired from franchisees collateralize the loans outstanding.
	During the 39 weeks ended March 3, 2015, we prepaid and retired three mortgage loan obligations with an aggregate balance of $3.9 million using cash on hand. Additionally, we paid $0.4 million in prepayment premiums in connection with the retirement of these obligations.

Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Disclosure [Text Block]	NOTE J - EMPLOYEE POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
	We sponsor three defined benefit pension plans for active employees and offer certain postretirement benefits for retirees. A summary of each of these is presented below.
	Retirement Plan
	RTI sponsors the Morrison Restaurants Inc. Retirement Plan (the “Retirement Plan”). Effective December 31, 1987, the Retirement Plan was amended so that no additional benefits would accrue and no new participants may enter the Retirement Plan after that date. Participants receive benefits based upon salary and length of service.
	Minimum funding for the Retirement Plan is determined in accordance with the guidelines set forth in employee benefit and tax laws. From time to time we may contribute additional amounts as we deem appropriate. We estimate that we will be required to make contributions totaling $0.2 million to the Retirement Plan during the remainder of fiscal year 2015.
	Executive Supplemental Pension Plan and Management Retirement Plan
	Under these unfunded defined benefit pension plans, eligible employees earn supplemental retirement income based upon salary and length of service, reduced by social security benefits and amounts otherwise receivable under other specified Company retirement plans. Effective June 1, 2001, the Management Retirement Plan was amended so that no additional benefits would accrue and no new participants may enter the plan after that date.
	Included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 3, 2015 and June 3, 2014 are amounts within Accrued liabilities: Payroll and related costs of $3.3 million as of both dates and amounts within Other deferred liabilities of $32.2 million and $32.5 million, respectively, relating to our three defined benefit pension plans.
	Postretirement Medical and Life Benefits
	Our Postretirement Medical and Life Benefits plans provide medical and life insurance benefits to certain retirees. The medical plan requires retiree cost sharing provisions that are more substantial for employees who retire after January 1, 1990.
	The following tables detail the components of net periodic benefit costs and the amounts recognized in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the Retirement Plan, Management Retirement Plan, and the Executive Supplemental Pension Plan (collectively, the “Pension Plans”) and the Postretirement Medical and Life Benefits plans (in thousands):

	We also sponsor two defined contribution retirement savings plans. Information regarding these plans is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 3, 2014.
	Executive Separations
	On June 26, 2014, our then Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer stepped down as Chief Financial Officer and subsequently retired from the Company on August 4, 2014. Additionally, our Senior Vice President, Chief Development Officer and Senior Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary left the Company on July 24, 2014 and December 12, 2014, respectively. During the 39 weeks ended March 3, 2015, we recorded severance expense and made severance payments of $0.3 million in connection with the separation agreements for certain of these former executives.
	As of March 3, 2015, liabilities of $0.2 million, representing unpaid obligations in connection with the employee separations, were included within Accrued liabilities: Payroll and related costs in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. A rollforward of our obligations in connection with employee separations is as follows (in thousands):

Note_K_Income_Taxes

Note K - Income Taxes	9 Months Ended
	Mar. 03, 2015
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	NOTE K - INCOME TAXES
	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (“ASU 2013-11”). The guidance requires an entity to present its deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward net of unrecognized tax benefits when settlement in this manner is available under the tax law, which would be based on facts and circumstances as of the balance sheet reporting date and would not consider future events. Gross presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit will still be required in the notes to the financial statements. We adopted ASU 2013-11 on a prospective basis during the first quarter of fiscal year 2015. The adoption of this standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2015 resulted in a reclassification of $5.0 million of our liability for unrecognized tax benefits against our deferred tax assets.
	Under Accounting Standards Codification 740 (“ASC 740”), companies are required to apply their estimated annual tax rate on a year-to-date basis in each interim period. Under ASC 740, companies should not apply the estimated annual tax rate to interim financial results if the estimated annual tax rate is not reliably predictable. In this situation, the interim tax rate should be based on the actual year-to-date results. Due to changes in our projections, which have fluctuated as we work through our brand repositioning, a reliable projection of our annual effective rate has been difficult to determine. As such, we recorded a tax provision for the 39 weeks ended March 3, 2015 based on the actual year-to-date results, in accordance with ASC 740.
	We regularly evaluate the need for a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets by assessing whether it is more likely than not that we will realize the deferred tax assets in the future.  A valuation allowance assessment is performed each reporting period, with any additions or adjustments reflected in earnings in the period of assessment.  In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of the deferred tax assets for each jurisdiction.
	Prior to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013, we concluded that objective and subjective positive evidence outweighed negative evidence, and it was more likely than not that we would realize all of our federal and most of our state deferred tax assets, except for loss carryforwards in certain states that have had cumulative losses and/or relatively short carryforward periods and annual limits of loss carryforward that is available for use to offset future taxable income.   During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013, we recorded a valuation allowance following the conclusion that the negative evidence outweighed the positive evidence.
	We recorded a tax benefit from continuing operations of $0.1 million and $3.3 million for the 13 and 39 weeks ended March 3, 2015, respectively, compared to a tax benefit from continuing operations of $0.8 million and $7.9 million for the 13 and 39 weeks ended March 4, 2014, respectively. Included in our $3.3 million tax benefit from continuing operations for the 39 weeks ended March 3, 2015 was a benefit of $3.2 million recorded during the first quarter of fiscal year 2015 representing an immaterial prior period correction to our deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
	Our valuation allowance for deferred tax assets totaled $60.8 million and $54.6 million as of March 3, 2015 and June 3, 2014, respectively.
	We had a gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits, exclusive of accrued interest and penalties, of $3.9 million and $7.0 million as of March 3, 2015 and June 3, 2014, respectively. As of March 3, 2015 and June 3, 2014, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact our effective tax rate was $2.2 million and $2.6 million, respectively. The liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of March 3, 2015 includes $0.3 million related to tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts could change within the next twelve months based on the outcome of examinations and negotiations with tax authorities.
	Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized as components of income tax expense. As of March 3, 2015 and June 3, 2014, we had accrued $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively, for the payment of interest and penalties. During the first 39 weeks of fiscal year 2015, accrued interest and penalties decreased by $0.1 million.
	At March 3, 2015, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years prior to 2011, and with few exceptions, state and local examinations by tax authorities prior to fiscal year 2012.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block]	NOTE L - SHARE-BASED EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION
	We compensate our employees and directors using share-based compensation through the following plans:
	The Ruby Tuesday, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan and the Ruby Tuesday, Inc. 1996 Stock Incentive Plan
	A committee, appointed by the Board of Directors, administers the Ruby Tuesday, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (“SIP”) and the Ruby Tuesday, Inc. 1996 Stock Incentive Plan (“1996 SIP”), and has full authority in its discretion to determine the key employees, officers, and non-employee directors to whom share-based incentives are granted and the terms and provisions of share-based incentives. Option grants under the SIP and 1996 SIP can have varying vesting provisions and exercise periods as determined by such committee. A majority of currently outstanding options granted under the SIP and 1996 SIP vest within three years following the date of grant and expire seven years after the date of grant. The SIP and 1996 SIP permit the committee to make awards of shares of common stock, awards of stock options or other derivative securities related to the value of the common stock, and certain cash awards to eligible persons. These discretionary awards may be made on an individual basis or for the benefit of a group of eligible persons. All options awarded under the SIP and 1996 SIP have been awarded with an exercise price equal to the fair market value at the time of grant.
	At March 3, 2015, we had reserved a total of 4,350,000 shares of common stock for the SIP and 1996 SIP. Of the reserved shares at March 3, 2015, 2,257,000 were subject to options outstanding. Stock option exercises are settled with the issuance of new shares. Net shares of common stock available for issuance at March 3, 2015 were 2,093,000.

	The fair values of the restricted stock awards reflected above were based on the fair market value of our common stock at the time of grant. At March 3, 2015, unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock grants expected to vest totaled approximately $3.6 million and will be recognized over a weighted average vesting period of approximately 1.4 years.
	Included within Selling, general, and administrative, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss is share-based compensation expense of $1.7 million and $5.4 million for the 13 and 39 weeks ended March 3, 2015, respectively, and $1.7 million and $5.8 million for the 13 and 39 weeks ended March 4, 2014, respectively.

	Litigation
	We are presently, and from time to time, subject to pending claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. We provide reserves for such claims when payment is probable and estimable in accordance with GAAP. At this time, in the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of pending legal proceedings, including the matter referred to below, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated operations, financial position, or cash flows.
	On July 23, 2014, a case styled Kimberly LaFrance, on behalf of herself and all other similarly situated v. Ruby Tuesday, Inc., was filed against the Company in the State of New York Supreme Court, County of Onondaga on behalf of the plaintiff and all other similarly situated individuals.  The plaintiff is alleging violations of certain wage notice requirements under New York law and is seeking wages, liquidated damages and attorneys’ fees.  The matter has been removed to the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York.  On November 20, 2014, we filed a motion to dismiss, which was followed by motions filed by the plaintiff on December 29, 2014, for class certification, and on December 31, 2014, for partial summary judgment.  The court stayed briefing on the plaintiff’s motions seeking to first rule on our motion to dismiss.  The parties have agreed to mediate the case, and on March 5, 2015, the court stayed all deadlines in the matter pending the completion of that mediation.  While we believe that we have accrued an appropriate amount based on our current understanding of the case, we may increase our accrual in the future if a class is certified or if our understanding of the matter changes.

	The Ruby Tuesday, Inc. 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”) and the Ruby Tuesday, Inc. Restated Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Predecessor Plan”) are unfunded, non-qualified deferred compensation plans for eligible employees. Assets earmarked to pay benefits under the Deferred Compensation Plan and Predecessor Plan are held by a rabbi trust. We report the accounts of the rabbi trust in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The investments held by these plans are reported at fair value based on third-party broker statements. The realized and unrealized holding gains and losses related to these investments, as well as the offsetting compensation expense, is recorded in Selling, general and administrative expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
	The following table presents the fair value of assets measured on a non-recurring basis during the 13 weeks ended March 3, 2015 and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the measurements fall (in thousands):

	The following table presents the losses recognized during the 13 and 39 weeks ended March 3, 2015 and March 4, 2014 resulting from non-recurring fair value measurements. The losses associated with continuing operations are included in Closures and impairments, net and the losses associated with discontinued operations are included in Income from discontinued operations, net of tax in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss (in thousands):

	Included within discontinued operations			$	25					$	178
	Long-lived assets held for sale are valued using Level 2 inputs, primarily representing information obtained through broker listings and sales agreements. Costs to market and/or sell the assets are factored into the estimates of fair value for those assets included in Assets held for sale on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	We review our long-lived assets (primarily property, equipment, and, as appropriate, reacquired franchise rights and favorable leases) related to each restaurant to be held and used in the business, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the long-lived asset may not be recoverable.
	Long-lived assets held for use presented in the table above include restaurants or groups of restaurants that we have impaired. From time to time, this will also include closed restaurants or surplus sites that do not meet the held for sale criteria that we have offered for sale at a price less than carrying value.
	The Level 2 fair values of our long-lived assets held for use are based on broker estimates of the value of the land, building, leasehold improvements, and other residual assets.
	Our financial instruments at March 3, 2015 and June 3, 2014 consisted of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and payable, and long-term debt. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable and payable approximated carrying value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value and fair value of our other financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, however subject to fair value disclosures, are as follows (in thousands):
		3-Mar-15					3-Jun-14

	Long-term debt	$	251,114	$	260,952		$	258,490		$	262,985
	We estimated the fair value of debt using market quotes and calculations based on market rates.

Condensed Financial Statements [Text Block]	NOTE P - SUPPLEMENTAL CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
	As discussed in Note H to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Senior Notes held by Ruby Tuesday, Inc. (the “Parent”) are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by our existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions (the “Guarantors”). Each of the Guarantors is wholly-owned by Ruby Tuesday, Inc. None of the few remaining subsidiaries of Ruby Tuesday, Inc., which were primarily created to hold liquor license assets, guarantee the Senior Notes (the “Non-Guarantors”). Our Non-Guarantor subsidiaries are immaterial and are aggregated within the Parent information disclosed below.
	The following condensed consolidating financial information, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements for presentation of Rule 3-10(f) of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, presents the condensed consolidating financial information separately for the Parent, the Guarantors, and elimination entries necessary to consolidate the Parent and Guarantors. Investments in wholly-owned subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method for purposes of the consolidated presentation. The principal elimination entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions.

Description of New Accounting Pronouncements Not yet Adopted [Text Block]	NOTE Q - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
	Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During Fiscal Year 2015
	As discussed further in Note K to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we adopted ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists during the first quarter of fiscal year 2015.
	Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
	In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”). The guidance requires an entity to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable) and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. The guidance is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter (our fiscal year 2017). Early application is permitted. We do not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a significant impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 is a jointly converged standard between the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board, and will replace almost all existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry specific guidance, upon its effective date. The standard’s core principle is for companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. ASU 2014-09 also enhances disclosures about revenue, provides guidance for transactions that were not addressed comprehensively in previous guidance, and improves guidance for multiple-element arrangements. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016 (the first quarter of our fiscal year 2018). We have not yet selected a transition method and are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
