Accounting Policies, by Policy (Policies)	9 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	The interim consolidated financial statements of Morgan's Foods, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared without audit. In the opinion of Company management, all adjustments have been included. Unless otherwise disclosed, all adjustments consist only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results of operations for the interim periods. These unaudited financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting principles that were used in preparation of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 3, 2013. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentations. The results of operations for the thirty-six weeks ended November 10, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, it is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 3, 2013.
Debt, Policy [Policy Text Block]	The Company’s bank debt is reported at historical cost and is almost entirely comprised of variable rate borrowings. The market for variable rate debt for restaurant financing is currently extremely limited. The Company’s debt is not publicly traded and there are few lenders or financing transactions for similar debt in the marketplace at this time. Management has concluded that it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of the Company’s debt as of November 10, 2013.
Liquidity Disclosure [Policy Text Block]	The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses in fiscal years 2013 and 2012 and has an accumulated deficit at November 10, 2013. The Company has managed its liquidity in fiscal 2013 and will manage its liquidity in fiscal 2014 through the refinancing of debt, the sale and leaseback of restaurant properties and the sale of additional equity. Should the Company have difficulty meeting its forecasts, this could have an adverse effect on its liquidity position. The Company has taken actions to improve its cash flows, including closely monitoring its expenses and store closings for underperforming stores and expects to be able to achieve its forecast for fiscal 2014. However, there can be no assurances that our cash flow will be sufficient to allow us to continue as a going concern if we are unable to meet our projections.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ASU 2013-01 Balance Sheet Topic 210, January 2013 Clarifies the scope of disclosures related to offsetting assets and liabilities. This release reduces the application of these disclosures to eliminate unintended consequences resulting from the application of a previously issued standard. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Management has determined that the application of this standard did not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company. ASU 2013-10 Derivatives and Hedging Topic 815, July 2013 Provides for the inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes, effective for swaps entered into after July 17, 2013. This release allows the use of the overnight index swap rate as an additional benchmark for hedge accounting treatment. Management has determined that the application of this standard will not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company. ASU 2013-11 Income Taxes Topic 740, July 2013 Provides for the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013. An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward if available and a company has the intent and ability to use for such purpose. Management has determined that the application of this standard will not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.

Disclosure of accounting policy regarding (1) the principles it follows in consolidating or combining the separate financial statements, including the principles followed in determining the inclusion or exclusion of subsidiaries or other entities in the consolidated or combined financial statements and (2) its treatment of interests (for example, common stock, a partnership interest or other means of exerting influence) in other entities, for example consolidation or use of the equity or cost methods of accounting. The accounting policy may also address the accounting treatment for intercompany accounts and transactions, noncontrolling interest, and the income statement treatment in consolidation for issuances of stock by a subsidiary.

- Definition

Disclosure of accounting policy for reporting when there is a substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time (generally a year from the balance sheet date). Disclose: (a) pertinent conditions and events giving rise to the assessment of substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time, (b) the possible effects of such conditions and events, (c) management's evaluation of the significance of those conditions and events and any mitigating factors, (d) possible discontinuance of operations, (e) management's plans (including relevant prospective financial information), and (f) information about the recoverability or classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities. If management's plans alleviate the substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosure of the principal conditions and events that initially raised the substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern would be expected to be considered. Disclose whether operations for the current or prior years generated sufficient cash to cover current obligations, whether waivers were obtained from creditors relating to the company's default under the provisions of debt agreements and possible effects of such conditions and events, such as: whether there is a possible need to obtain additional financing (debt or equity) or to liquidate certain holdings to offset future cash flow deficiencies. Disclose appropriate parent company information when parent is dependent upon remittances from subsidiaries to satisfy its obligations.
