ITEM 2
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

1. FINANCIAL CONDITION

1.1 ASSETS
Total Assets at December 4, 1993 were $421.5 million, a $21.4 
million increase from $400.1 million as of the end of the prior
quarter, and a $23.1 million increase from $398.3 million as of
the prior year end.  Cash and Short-Term investments decreased
$6.0 million during the quarter and $13.1 million for the year to
date due to the Company's purchase of treasury stock during the
first quarter ended Sept. 4, 1993 and capital expenditures in
each quarter of the twenty-six week period ended December 4,
1993.  Accounts and Notes Receivables increased $5.6 million
during the quarter and $6.5 million for the year as a result of
the seasonality of the institutional revenue for the Morrison
Hospitality Group.  Property, Plant and Equipment increased $18.0
million during the quarter and $24.6 million from the prior
fiscal year ended June 5, 1993. The increase is due to the net
result of capital expenditures of $28.2 million for the quarter
and $45.3 million for the year to date, less depreciation expense
of $9.7 million and $19.1 million and $.5 million and $1.6
million in retirements for the quarter and year to date.  Capital
expenditures consisted primarily of $21.1 and $33.1 million unit
expansion in the Ruby Tuesday Group, $3.2 and $6.0 million in the
Morrison Hospitality Group, and $3.5 and $5.7 million in the
Morrison Family Dining Group for the quarter and year to date
ended December 4, 1993.  The Company anticipates that all capital
expansion during the fiscal year can be financed entirely from
funds generated by operations.  Other Investments decreased $3.9
million for the year as a result of the sale of the Admiral
Benbow Inn as discussed in section 3.3 "Disposal of Investment". 
Other Assets increased $6.5 million for the year to date ended
December 4, 1993.  This increase is a result of a $3.1 million
note receivable  for the sale of the Admiral Benbow Inn, a $1.8
million increase in construction allowances for Morrison's
Hospitality Group, and a $1.9 increase in deferred income taxes
in accordance with FAS 109. 

1.2. LIABILITIES
Total Liabilities at December 4, 1993 were $195.9 million, a
$10.9 million increase from $185.0 million as of the end of the
prior quarter and a $17.1 million increase from $178.7 million as
of the end of the fiscal year.  The increase in liabilities from
the prior quarter is due to the growth in the company's
operations and resulting operational liabilities.  There were no
short-term borrowings as of December 4, 1993, September 4, 1993
or June 5, 1993, and the Company does not anticipate that there
will be any short-term borrowings during the third quarter.  
 

                                    Page 8

1.  FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED)

1.3 WORKING CAPITAL
The Company had negative working capital of $14.9 million and the
current ratio was .87 at December 4, 1993, compared to positive
$1.9 million working capital and 1.02 current ratio at the end of
the prior year.  Growth in the number of operations and the stock
repurchase program have kept the Company's working capital low.

1.4 SHORT-TERM BORROWING
At December 4, 1993, the Company had lines of credit with various
banks amounting to $ 65.0 million.  These lines are subject to
periodic review by each bank and may be canceled by the Company
at any time.  

1.5 LONG-TERM BORROWING
Long-term borrowing decreased slightly during the quarter due to
normally scheduled payments.

1.6 CASH DIVIDENDS
Cash Dividends paid during the second quarter of fiscal year 1994
amounted to $3.0 million which is consistent with the cash
dividends paid during the prior quarter.  Dividends per share
were $0.0833 for the second quarter.

2. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

2.1 SALES  
Total sales for the quarter increased 10.2% over the same quarter
of the prior year.  Total sales for the twenty-six weeks ended
December 4, 1993 increased 11.8%  compared to the same period in
the prior year.  The sales increase for the quarter over the same
quarter in the prior year was the net result of a 22.4% sales
increase in the Ruby Tuesday Group, a 6.9% increase in the
Hospitality Group and a .5% increase in the Family Dining Group. 
The sales increase for the twenty-six weeks ended December 4,
1993 over the twenty-six weeks ended December 5, 1992 was the net
result of sales increases of 23.1%, 9.5%, and 1.4% for the Ruby
Tuesday Group, Hospitality Group and Family Dining Group,
respectively.

The sales increase in the Ruby Tuesday Group is primarily the
result of additional units.  There is a net addition of 42 Casual
Dining units when compared to the same quarter of the prior year. 
On December 4, 1993, the Ruby Tuesday Group was composed of 206   
Ruby Tuesday, 37 L&N Seafood Grill, 22 Silver Spoon and two 
Sweetpea restaurants.  
 
The sales increase in the Hospitality Group is attributable to an
increase in new accounts.  On December 4, 1993 the Hospitality
Group was composed of food service contract accounts in
Hospitals, Education, and Business and Industry.

                                    Page 9

2. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

2.1 SALES (CONTINUED)
The sales increase in the Family Dining Group is the net result
of an increase in customers offset by the strategic closing of
units.  The Family Dining Group was composed of 159 units as of
December 4, 1993.   
                                       
2.2 COSTS AND EXPENSES
Total Costs and Expenses for the 13 and 26 weeks ended Decem-
ber 4, 1993 were $290.9 and $559.9 million, respectively, a $25.7
million increase from the $265.1 million in the same quarter of
the prior year and a $57.4 million increase from $502.5 million
in the same twenty-six weeks of the prior year..  Costs and
expenses when expressed as a percent of sales for the 13 and 26
week periods ended December 4, 1993 decreased to 93.7% and 94.5%
from 94.1% and 94.8% in the same period of the prior year,
respectively.  This decrease is largely attributable to the
success of food-cost-control programs.

2.3 PRE-TAX PROFIT
The consolidated pre-tax profit before the cumulative effect of
accounting changes for the 13 and 26 weeks ended December 4, 1993
increased $3.0 million and 5.1 million, or 18.3% and 18.7%,
respectively.  The consolidated pre-tax profit margin before the
cumulative effect of accounting changes for the 13 and 26 weeks
ended December 4, 1993 was 6.3% and 5.5% compared to 5.9% and
5.2% in the prior year.  

2.4 INCOME TAX EXPENSE                      
The effective income tax rate for the 13 and 26 weeks ended
December 4, 1993 was 38.25%, as compared to 37.15% and 36.9% for
the same 13 and 26 weeks of the prior year.  The increase in the
effective income tax rate is due to an increase in the federal
income tax rate of 1%, an increase in state income taxes, and a
reduction in non-taxable.

2.5 EARNINGS PER SHARE
As a result of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15., we
have reported both primary and fully diluted earnings per share
on the income statement.  APB No. 15 requires dual disclosure
when there is a three percent difference between earnings per
share computed using shares outstanding and earnings per share
computed using shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents. 
This difference occurred in the first quarter of fiscal year
1994.







                                    Page 10
3. KNOWN EVENTS, UNCERTAINTIES AND TRENDS

3.1 SEASONALITY OF OPERATIONS
The operating results as well as certain current assets and
liabilities of the Hospitality Group are affected by the
traditional closings of educational institutions during the
summer months and their subsequent reopenings at the beginning of
September.

3.2 STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM
On March 31, 1993, the Board of Directors authorized a program to
repurchase up to 1,000,000 additional shares of Morrison common
stock.  Shares acquired through the purchase will be held as
Treasury Stock and will be used to provide stock for general
corporate purposes.  The program may be discontinued at any time. 
This program is in addition to the program announced August 25,
1989, under which Morrison is authorized to acquire additional
shares of common stock for general corporate purposes and the
program announced October 1, 1992, to repurchase shares for the
purpose of providing sufficient shares of common stock for
issuance pursuant to employee benefit plans, including the
purchase of shares to offset any dilutive effect of such plans. 
The aggregate number of shares authorized to be repurchased under
all programs, prior to the three-for-two stock split paid on
October 29, 1993, has been limited to 3.2 million shares. 
Funding for the repurchase programs will come from working
capital and debt.   During the 26 weeks ended December 4, 1993,
the company repurchased 336,239 shares of the Company's stock at
an average purchase price of $30.18.  All of these shares were
repurchased prior to the  3-for-2  stock split paid October 29,
1993.  Also, as of January 4, 1994, subsequent to the quarter
ended December 4, 1993, Morrison Restaurants, Inc had purchased
an additional 177,615  shares of treasury stock at an average
purchase price of $22.15.

3.3 DISPOSAL OF INVESTMENT
The Company sold its investment in the Admiral Benbow Inn in
Tampa, Florida, on August 4, 1993, for $3,607,000.  Proceeds were
composed of $500,000 cash and a note receivable of $3,107,000. 
The note carries interest of 8% for the first two years and 9%
for the remaining eight years.  The financial impact on the
Company's 26 weeks ended December 4, 1993 were immaterial.

3.4 TIA'S AGREEMENT
On November 23, 1993, Morrison entered into an agreement to
assist in the development of up to 10 Tia's Restaurants and has
options to acquire the company during the next five years.
