Score
The health department has logged 12 inspections at Ruby Tuesday, the earliest from 2022. Inspectors last stopped by on Mar 20, 2026. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.
Recent inspections have found fewer violations than earlier ones, averaging around 12 violations lately and about 16 violations before that.
When inspectors have written things up, “time/temperature control for safety food cold held” has been the most frequent reason, cited nine times.
Restaurants in Riverview average 69, so Ruby Tuesday is doing better than most peers. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
