Ruby Tuesday Menu Prices 2026: Burgers, Ribs, Salad Bar & More

The Classic Cheeseburger at Ruby Tuesday is $12.99 as of May 2026.

The Garden Salad Bar is Ruby Tuesday's most famous feature — a 50+ item bar with lettuces, fresh vegetables, soups, fruits, house-made dressings, croutons, nuts, cheese, and prepared salads. As a solo order it's $10.99. As an add-on to an entrée it's $5.99, and many entrées at many locations include the salad bar free.

Yes — the Garden Salad Bar is still on the Ruby Tuesday menu as of 2026 at participating locations. The salad bar has been through periods of being temporarily removed (including a hiatus during COVID-19), but it has returned to the menu and remains central to the brand. Availability may vary by location — call ahead or check the menu online for your nearest store.

Ruby Tuesday operates approximately 220 locations as of 2026 — a significant reduction from its peak of roughly 900 locations in the mid-2000s. The chain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2020 and emerged with a considerably smaller footprint. Surviving locations are concentrated in the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, and select Midwest markets.

The Triple Play at $13.99 is a shareable appetizer platter letting you choose three items from the starter menu — typically a mix of sliders, wings, mozzarella sticks or similar. It's one of Ruby Tuesday's most popular starters and a good-value way for two to four people to share before entrées. If you're ordering it solo as a lighter meal, it's a substantial portion for the price.
