Closing 95 of the 624 restaurants. I didn't see a list of the locations. 

My husband and I eat there fairly frequently for lunch (I love their Chicken Fresco). I think they've overpriced themselves. Then they give coupons to offset the high prices. 

Used to be you could get a lunch portion of Chicken Fresco. Perfect portion size, good price. Then they got rid of the lunch portion so you have to buy the $13.99 version. Doable because of the $8 coupon we use, but I'd MUCH prefer the smaller portion. 

They redid the salad bar and made a big to do about the new "improved" salad bar. We don't care for the new version. 

Anyway....I hate to see businesses falter.

Bummer. I like their Prime Burgers.

I won't be surprised if one of them is in the mall near me.  The Ruby Tuesday isn't anywhere near the food court and it's in such an out of the way location that I forget it's even there.

There are a few in our area.  One is next to Olive Garden; the other is next to Bertucci's.  Olive Garden and Bertucci's always have a  lot of cars in their parking lots.  Ruby Tuesday never has more than a few cars.  It's been at least 10 years since I've been in one so cannot comment on their food.

It's never a good thing for an area when restaurants and stores close.

I have eaten several times at Ruby Tuesday's through the years and been happy with everything. 

The last time I ate there (at a different location) it was horrible.  The service was poor, the food bland and served too cool.  Also, the salad bar was minimal as far as variety and quality.  I haven't been back since.  

Perhaps they are closing the under-performing locations?  As with most restaurants, it's all about great management to be successful.

I used to work near one so we'd go there occasionally for lunch.  The booths were so narrow, it must have been really uncomfortable for some in the group; it was uncomfortable enough for me.

The only one in my city closed around 10-15 years ago and now there are none in Texas.

I meet a friend at RT's for lunch once a month.  We both thoroughly enjoy their salad bar.  I sure hope our location doesn't close!!!  We even have a favorite waiter, we've been doing this lunch date for so long!

The food service business is brutal and even more so in this sluggish economy. We go to the nearest one here a couple times a year and sometimes to one that's convenient when traveling. I feel sorry for the workers who will lose their jobs.

Back in the 90's, they were one of our favorite places to eat wherever we lived, but the last few years they have really gone down, with food & service, I am not surprised!
