Ruby Tuesday plans to close 95 restaurants throughout the country, the company announced.

The locations of the restaurants to be closed have not been released, but the restaurants will be shutting down quickly. According to the company's press release, the under-performing locations will stop operations by September.

Ruby Tuesday's had 724 restaurants as of May 31, and 646 of those were company-operated.

They’re just a Chili’s, TGI Friday’s knock off joint right? Never tried one, now probably never will.

From the “people”, that should be a Sizzler or Red Lobster. They’re dressed too nice for Chucky Cheese...

Well they look to be in their 30s, so maybe it was their grandbaby's birfday celebration.

Read up on the home “restaurant” niche. Private homeowners are holding dinners for friends and family and making money under the table.

Yeah, exactly. Wasn't too long ago, a casual chain like this had their basic dishes--burgers, tacos, salads in the $5-6 range and the drinks were about a buck to a $1.50. I am talking about 8 years ago, not 40 years ago. (the irony, gee I wonder what changed 8 years ago, hmmm)

Now burgers at these places are $11-12 minimum and drinks (sodas) are about $3.

For a family of four, that'll run you $75-$85.

We used to eat at places like this quite a bit. We very rarely do it anymore.

Not surprised, the sad fruits of Mr. Obama’s America.

No connection to the economy.
My wife and I have both gotten food poisoning twice at RT.
They are a quality fail all the way.

Went to Texas Roadhouse last week. Came out stuffed and had go boxes for lunch the next day. Total bill was $51 for four of us and included a couple of ‘ritas.

We do go there but usually don't get out for under $70 either, LOL. But, that's steaks and usually decent. Plus that yummy bread.

I like that place.

What the fall of a civilization looks like (and what we can’t see - the illegal aliens working in the kitchen, the “inclusive” bathroom, and the “refugee” Jihadi brought in by USGOV sitting in the corner who passed on detonating his backup because he decided there were better people to kill).

Isn't a margarita like 6 bucks?

So a couple for 4 people... 8 x 6 = 48 plus a tip.

sounds like a liquid lunch LOL

FWIW, I have a theory.

There are long, huge tunnels that are connected to one underground kitchen.

That’s why the food all tastes the same, in the places you mentioned.

You’re not missing anything. Trust me.

...allowing the places to operate at virtually no reported profit...

Looked at taking over a Vietnamese restaurant some years back. The owner was a bookkeeper, and she had two separate sets of books.
