                         Notes to Financial Statements
                               September 28, 1997
                                           
(1)  The accompanying financial statements included herein have been prepared by
     Big Buck Brewery & Steakhouse, Inc. (the Company), without audit, in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
     financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
     Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote
     disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
     condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the
     Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the
     information not misleading. 

     The unaudited balance sheet as of September 28, 1997 and the unaudited
     statements of operations for the three and the nine months ended September
     28, 1997 and the unaudited statement of cash flows for the nine months
     ended September 28, 1997 include, in the opinion of management, all
     adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary
     for a fair presentation of the financial results for the respective interim
     periods and are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be
     expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 28, 1997.  The
     accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared under the
     presumption that users of the interim financial information have either
     read, or have access to, the audited financial statements and notes in the
     Company's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 29, 1996. 
     Accordingly, footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate the
     disclosures contained in the December 29, 1996 audited financial statements
     have been omitted from these interim financial statements except for the
     disclosures below.  It is suggested that these interim financial statements
     should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes
     thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended
     December 29, 1996.

(2)  On June 13, 1996, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective
     a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 relating to the initial public
     offering of 2,450,000 units, each unit consisting of one share of Common
     Stock and one redeemable Class A Warrant.  Following the effective date of
     the Registration Statement, the Company issued 2,450,000 units at $5.00 per
     unit and the Company received net proceeds of approximately $11.0 million
     on June 18, 1996.  The financial statements reflect the effect of this
     offering net of transaction related expenses.

     On July 25, 1996, the underwriters exercised a portion of their
     overallotment option and the Company issued 100,000 additional units at
     $5.00 per unit.  The Company received net proceeds of $447,500 on July 30,
     1996.

(3)  As of September 28, 1997, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards
     for income tax purposes of approximately $1.7 million.  These net operating
     loss carryforwards expire in the year 2012.  Because of the lack of
     profitability, a full valuation allowance has been recorded against the net
     deferred tax asset.

(4)  The Company will adopt in the fiscal year ending December 28, 1997,
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings Per Share"
     (SFAS No. 128), which was issued in February 1997.  SFAS No. 128 requires
     disclosure of basic earnings per share (EPS) and diluted EPS, which
     replaces the existing primary EPS and fully diluted EPS, as defined by APB
     No. 15.  Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted
     average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the year. 
     Dilutive EPS is computed similar to primary EPS as previously reported,
     provided that, when applying the treasury stock method to common equivalent
     shares, the Company must use its average share price for the period rather
     than the more dilutive greater of the average share price or end-of-period
     share price required by APB No. 15.

(5)  The Company opened its second microbrewery/restaurant in March 1997 in
     Grand Rapids, Michigan.  The Company completed the sale and leaseback of
     the Grand Rapids land and building in April 1997 to an unrelated third
     party for $1.4 million.

(6)  The Company opened its third microbrewery/restaurant in October 1997 in
     Auburn Hills, Michigan.  In August 1997, the Company entered into a real
     estate purchase and leaseback agreement providing for the sale of the
     Auburn Hills land to an unrelated third party for $4.0 million.  As of
     September 28, 1997, $2.46 million had been received by the Company pursuant
     to such agreement.

ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

This discussion and analysis contains certain forward-looking terminology such
as "believes," "anticipates," "expects," and "intends," or comparable
terminology.  Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. 
Potential purchasers of the Company's securities are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which are qualified in their
entirety by the cautions and risks described herein.  Please refer to the
Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on May 28, 1997, for additional
factors known to the Company that may cause actual results to vary.

OVERVIEW

The Company was capitalized in 1994 to develop, own and operate
microbrewery/restaurants with the name Big Buck Brewery & Steakhouse ("Big Buck
Brewery" or "Brewery").  Until May 1995 when the Company opened its first
Brewery in Gaylord, Michigan, it had no operations or revenues and its
activities were devoted solely to development.  In March 1997, the Company
opened its second Brewery in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  The Grand Rapids Brewery's
seating capacity is approximately 250 for the restaurant and bar combined.  The
brewing and fermenting tanks of this Brewery front directly on 28th Street, a
street with an average daily vehicle count of approximately 52,000.  In October
1997, the Company opened its third Brewery in Auburn Hills, Michigan, a suburb
of Detroit.  The Auburn Hills Brewery, which houses a 15-barrel brewing system,
encompasses 26,372 square feet including brewery, bar and restaurant, with a
total seating capacity of approximately 650.  This Brewery is accessible to the
over 3.2 million Detroit metro area residents.

Future revenues and profits will depend upon various factors, including market
acceptance of Big Buck Breweries and general economic conditions.  The Company's
present sources of revenue are the Gaylord, Grand Rapids and Auburn Hills
Breweries.  There can be no assurances that the Company will successfully
implement its expansion plans, in which case the Company will continue to be
dependent on the revenues from the existing Breweries.  The Company also faces
all of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered in connection
with the expansion and development of a new business.  Furthermore, to the
extent that the Company's expansion strategy is successful, it must manage the
transition to multiple site, higher volume operations, control increased
overhead expenses and hire additional personnel.

The Company's sales and earnings are expected to fluctuate based on seasonal
patterns.  The Company anticipates that its highest earnings will occur in the
second and third quarters.  Quarterly results in the future are likely to be
substantially affected by the timing of new Brewery openings.  Because of the
seasonality of the Company's business and the impact of new Brewery openings,
results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
be achieved for a full fiscal year and cannot be used to indicate financial
performance for the entire year.

The Company completed the sale and leaseback of the Grand Rapids land and
building in April 1997 to an unrelated third party for $1.4 million.  

In August 1997, the Company entered into a real estate purchase and leaseback
agreement providing for the sale of the Auburn Hills land to an unrelated third
party for $4.0 million.  As of September 28, 1997, $2.46 million had been
received by the Company pursuant to such agreement.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTERS ENDED SEPTEMBER 28, 1997 AND SEPTEMBER
29, 1996

REVENUES

Revenues increased $621,670 to $2,162,599 in the quarter ended September 28,
1997 from $1,540,929 in the quarter ended September 29, 1996.  For the nine
months ended September 28, 1997, revenues increased $1,571,524 to $5,054,950
from $3,483,426 for the comparable period in 1996.  This increase is primarily
attributable to the opening of the Grand Rapids Brewery on March 17, 1997.

COST OF SALES

Cost of sales, which consists of food, merchandise and brewery supplies,
increased $189,987 to $746,588 in the third quarter of 1997 from the third
quarter of 1996 and increased $440,723 to $1,725,603 for the nine months ended
September 28, 1997, compared to the comparable period in 1996.  As a percentage
of revenues, cost of sales decreased to 34.5% in the third quarter of 1997 from
36.1% for the third quarter of 1996 and decreased to 34.1% for the nine months
ended September 28, 1997 from 36.9% for the comparable period in 1996.  These
percentage decreases are the result of more efficient purchasing, increased menu
pricing and improved kitchen management.

RESTAURANT SALARIES AND BENEFITS

Restaurant salaries and benefits, which consist of restaurant management and 
hourly employee wages and benefits, payroll taxes and workers' compensation 
insurance, increased $163,821 to $533,744 in the third quarter of 1997 
compared to the third quarter in 1996 and increased $395,583 to $1,360,972 
for the nine months ended September 28, 1997 compared to the comparable 
period in 1996.  As a percentage of revenues, restaurant salaries and 
benefits increased to 24.7% in the third quarter of 1997 compared to 24.0% in 
the third quarter of 1996.  The increase during the quarter is attributable 
to the March 1997 opening of the Grand Rapids Brewery and the related higher 
than normal staffing requirements of a new Brewery.  Restaurant salaries and 
benefits decreased to 26.9% for the nine months ended September 28, 1997 
compared to 27.7% for the comparable period in 1996.  These decreases are due 
to more efficient staff, improved scheduling and a reduction in workers' 
compensation insurance premiums.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses, which include supplies, utilities, repairs and maintenance,
advertising and occupancy costs, increased $148,267 to $419,350 in the third
quarter of 1997 compared to the third quarter of 1996, and increased $250,777 to
$1,105,045 for the nine months ended September 28, 1997 compared to the
comparable period in 1996.  As a percentage of revenues, operating expenses
increased to 19.4% in the third quarter of 1997 from 17.6% for the same quarter
in 1996, and decreased to 21.9% for the nine months ended September 28, 1997
from 24.5% for the comparable period in 1996.  The increase during the third
quarter is attributable to the higher operating expenses from the newly opened
Grand Rapids Brewery.  The decrease for the nine month period is due to a
continued emphasis on cost controls, improved management and a reduction in
insurance premiums.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses increased $183,818 to $457,292 in the third
quarter of 1997 compared to the same quarter of 1996, and increased $574,096 to
$1,178,961 for the nine months ended September 28, 1997 compared to the same
period in 1996.  As a percentage of revenues, these expenses increased to 21.1%
in the third quarter of 1997 from 17.7% for the same quarter of 1996, and
increased to 23.3% for the nine months ended September 28, 1997 from 17.4% for
the comparable period in 1996.  The increased expenses reflect additional
corporate overhead associated with personnel additions in training, marketing
and senior management hired to execute the Company's development plans.  As
additional Breweries are opened by the Company, these expenses as a percentage
of revenues are expected to decrease.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $23,282 to $131,695 in the 
third quarter of 1997 compared to the third quarter of 1996, and increased 
$1,231 to $357,791 for the nine months ended September 28, 1997 compared to 
the comparable period in 1996.  These increases are attributable to 
additional depreciation and amortization from the newly opened Grand Rapids 
Brewery.  As a percentage of revenues, these expenses decreased to 6.1% in 
the third quarter of 1997 from 7.0% for the same quarter in 1996 and 
decreased to 7.1% for the nine months ended September 28, 1997 from 10.2% for 
the comparable period in 1996. The decreases in these expenses are the result 
of full amortization in 1996 of financing costs related to the Company's 
February 1996 bridge financing.  The amount of this decrease in amortization 
more than offset the increase in pre-opening costs and depreciation from the 
opening of the Grand Rapids Brewery.

INTEREST EXPENSES/INTEREST INCOME

Interest expense increased $15,511 to $81,938 in the third quarter of 1997
compared to the same quarter of 1996, and decreased $45,344 to $232,320 for the
period ended September 28, 1997 compared to the comparable period in 1996.  As a
percentage of revenues, interest expense decreased to 3.8% in the third quarter
of 1997 from 4.3% for the same period in 1996, and decreased to 4.6% for the
nine months ending September 28, 1997

from 8.0% for the comparable period in 1996.  These decreases are due to the 
fact that the pre-bridge and bridge financings were paid off during 1996 with 
the proceeds of the Company's initial public offering.

Interest income decreased $100,550 to $12,026 in the third quarter of 1997
compared to $112,576 for the same quarter of 1996, and decreased $37,542 to
$99,770 for the nine months ended September 28, 1997 compared to $137,312 for
the comparable period in 1996.  The decrease in interest income is due to the
sale of short-term investments for the construction of the Grand Rapids and
Auburn Hills Breweries.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company used $1.2 million in cash for the nine months ended September 28, 
1997, and used $1.1 million in cash for the nine months ended September 29, 
1996, for operating activities.  At September 28, 1997, the Company had 
working capital of $734,000. The Company expects that it will use a 
significant portion of its capital resources to fund new Brewery development 
and construction.  Since inception, the Company's principal capital 
requirements have been the funding of (i) Company operations and promotion of 
the Big Buck Brewery format and (ii) the construction of the Gaylord, Grand 
Rapids and Auburn Hills Breweries and the acquisition of its furniture, 
fixtures and equipment for such Breweries.  Total capital expenditures for 
the Gaylord, Grand Rapids and Auburn Hills Breweries were approximately $5.8 
million, $3.2 million and $9.0 million, respectively.

The Company generated approximately $10.1 million in cash from the sale of 
short term investments and the sale and leaseback of the Grand Rapids land 
and building and the Auburn Hills land during the nine months ended September 
28, 1997.  The Company used approximately $8.5 million in cash for 
construction and equipment costs at the Grand Rapids and Auburn Hills 
Breweries during the first three quarters of 1997.

In July 1995, the Company obtained an $800,000 equipment loan and a $1.9 
million mortgage on the Gaylord Brewery's land and building.  The loans 
require monthly payments of principal and interest at 10.2% per annum and are 
payable in full by October 1, 2000.  The loans are collateralized by certain 
assets of the Company and are guaranteed by certain shareholders. 

The Company purchased an existing structure for the Grand Rapids Brewery, 
which opened in March 1997.  The cost of the land, building, remodeling, 
equipment and furniture and fixtures for the Grand Rapids Brewery was 
approximately $3.2 million.  In April 1997, the Company completed the sale 
and leaseback of the Grand Rapids land and building.  The total cost of 
developing, constructing and opening the Auburn Hills Brewery was 
approximately $9.0 million.  In August 1997, the Company entered into a real 
estate purchase and leaseback agreement providing for the sale of the Auburn 
Hills land, including all improvements thereto, to an unrelated third party 
for $4.0 million.  The Company plans to develop and open additional Big Buck 
Breweries and it will need to obtain additional financing to carry out such 
expansion plans.  The amount of financing required for such expansion depends 
on the definitive locations, site conditions, construction costs and size and 
type of Breweries to be built. There can be no assurance that financing will 
be available on terms acceptable or favorable to the Company, or at all.  
Without such financing, the Company's development plans will be slower than 
planned or even unachievable.
