Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The effective income tax rate for the quarter and six months ended November 25, 2012 was 21.8 percent and 23.6 percent, respectively, compared to an effective income tax rate of 25.4 percent and 26.7 percent for the quarter and six months ended November 27, 2011, respectively. The decrease in the effective income tax rate for the quarter and six months ended November 25, 2012 as compared to the quarter and six months ended November 27, 2011 is primarily attributable to an increase in the impact of FICA tax credits for employee reported tips due to a decrease in our earnings before income taxes and the impact of market-driven changes in the value of our trust-owned life insurance that are excluded for tax purposes, partially offset by a decrease in federal income tax credits related to the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act and the impact of non-deductible Yard House acquisition costs. Included in our remaining balance of unrecognized tax benefits is $1.3 million related to tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts could change within the next twelve months based on the outcome of examinations or as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations for specific jurisdictions.
