                                  THE COMPANY

   The Company currently owns and operates 30 and franchises or licenses six 
full-service, casual dining restaurants under the name "Roadhouse Grill." The 
Roadhouse Grill concept offers a fun, value-oriented dining experience that 
features premium quality grilled entrees and friendly service consistent with 
the Company's motto: "Good Food and a Smile . . . That's Roadhouse 
Style."/registered trademark/ The comfortable, entertaining roadhouse setting 
is designed to appeal to a broad range of customers, including business 
people, couples, singles and particularly families. 

   Roadhouse Grill restaurants have an energetic and casual atmosphere. The 
interior of each restaurant is large, open and visually appealing, featuring 
exposed ceilings and brick and lapboard cedar walls decorated with colorful, 
hand-painted murals and neon signs. Multi-level seating provides guests with 
a full view of the restaurant, including the exhibition grill and display 
kitchen, allowing everyone to enjoy the Roadhouse Grill experience. The 
exhibition cooking area features a mesquite-fired grill, a kitchen where 
homemade yeast rolls are made throughout the day and a display case filled 
with fresh cuts of meat, seafood and salads. To help create Roadhouse Grill's 
casual ambience, metal pails of roasted peanuts top each table, guests are 
encouraged to toss peanut shells on the floor, drinks are served in mason 
jars, long neck beers are delivered in metal buckets filled with ice, and a 
classic jukebox entertains guests with popular rock and country and western 
music. The exterior of each restaurant features rough-sawed siding, a 
wrap-around wood plank porch, a tin roof trimmed in neon and an oversized 
"Roadhouse Grill" sign. 

   The Roadhouse Grill menu features aged USDA Choice steaks hand cut at each 
restaurant, ribs, chicken and seafood, all of which are grilled to order. In 
addition to grilled selections, the menu offers a variety of appetizers, 
sandwiches, salads and desserts, including signature items such as Roadhouse 
cheese wraps, hot-out-of-the-oven yeast rolls made from scratch each day and 
a daily selection of homemade ice cream. Prices range from $2.99 to $6.29 for 
lunch entrees and from $4.99 to $15.99 for dinner entrees. For the nine 
months ended September 29, 1996, the average guest check, including beverage, 
was approximately $8.75 for lunch and $13.25 for dinner. 

   
   Since opening its first Roadhouse Grill in March 1993, the Company has grown
rapidly, adding two additional restaurants in 1993, three restaurants in 1994,
13 restaurants in 1995 and, to date, 11 restaurants in 1996. Although the
Company has recently opened restaurants in Georgia, South Carolina and upstate
New York, the Company-owned Roadhouse Grill restaurants are located primarily in
Florida. The Company's growth strategy is to continue opening Company-owned
restaurants primarily in the Southeastern and Gulf Coast regions of the United
States. The Company currently plans to open two more restaurants in 1996 and
approximately 15 restaurants in 1997, subject to the Company's ability to obtain
financing for such expansion following completion of the Offering. See "Future
Capital Needs".
    

  The Company currently has six franchised or licensed restaurants. Of 
these, three are located in Malaysia and three are located in the United 
States. The Company expects that its international franchisees will open at 
least two additional Roadhouse Grill restaurants in Asia and the Pacific Rim 
by the end of 1997. Although the Company has granted certain domestic 
franchise/development rights, it intends to focus on expansion of 
Company-owned restaurants in the United States.

   The Company believes that Company-owned Roadhouse Grill restaurants have 
achieved attractive unit level economics. The 15 Company-owned restaurants 
that were open for the entire twelve-month period ended September 29, 1996 
generated average restaurant revenues of approximately $2.8 million for such 
period. The average cash investment, excluding real estate costs and 
pre-opening expenses, required to open each of the 27 Roadhouse Grill 
restaurants opened by the Company prior to September 29, 1996 was 
approximately $1.3 million. The Company's current prototype restaurant is 
approximately 6,800 square feet with seating for approximately 210 guests. 
The Company expects that the average cash investment required to open such a 
prototype restaurant, including pre-opening expenses but excluding real 
estate costs, will be approximately $1.1 million or $1.4 million, depending 
upon whether the Company converts an existing building or constructs a new 
restaurant. Real estate costs will vary depending upon whether the Company 
purchases or leases restaurant properties and depending upon market 
conditions and location of the properties. The average real estate 
acquisition cost for the 11 restaurant sites owned by the Company was 
approximately $898,000. The average monthly occupancy cost in Fiscal 1996 
(through September 29, 1996) for the 18 restaurant sites leased by the 
Company was approximately $11,000 per site.
    
   Roadhouse Grill restaurants are based upon a roadhouse-style concept 
developed in 1991 by the Company's founder and Chief Executive Officer, John 
David Toole III. During the last two years, the Company has assembled a 
corporate management team averaging more than 11 years of experience in the 
restaurant industry. The Company believes that personable, well-trained 
employees are essential to the overall success of Roadhouse Grill restaurants 
and, accordingly, selects employees based upon personality and initiative, 
devotes significant resources to employee development and emphasizes training 
and internal promotion. 

   The Company was incorporated in Florida in October 1992, and its principal 
executive offices are located at 6600 N. Andrews Avenue, Suite 160, Fort 
Lauderdale, Florida 33309. Its telephone number at that address is (954) 
489-9699.

(1) In its first three years of operation, the Company incurred net operating 
    losses. Accordingly, the Company has made no provision for taxes payable, 
    and at December 31, 1995 had a net operating loss carryforward of 
    approximately $5.9 million. A full valuation reserve has been established 
    for all net deferred tax assets. 

(2) Gives effect to the conversion of the Issued Preferred Stock into Common 
    Stock, which will occur concurrently with the closing of the Offering. 

(3) Includes two restaurants in which the Company originally held a 50% 
    ownership interest. The Company acquired the remaining 50% ownership 
    interest in one of such restaurants in March 1995 and recently contracted 
    to acquire the remaining 50% ownership interest in the other restaurant. 
    See "Business--Restaurant Locations."

                                 RISK FACTORS 

   AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMMON STOCK OFFERED HEREBY INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF 
RISK. IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS, 
PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS IN 
EVALUATING AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMMON STOCK. 

LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY; OPERATING LOSSES 


   The Company was incorporated in October 1992, and the first Company-owned 
Roadhouse Grill restaurant was opened in March 1993. The Company incurred 
losses of $713,000, $2.5 million, $3.5 million and $569,000 in Fiscal 1993, 
Fiscal 1994, Fiscal 1995 and the thirty-nine week period ended September 29, 
1996, respectively, and there can be no assurance that the Company's 
operations will be profitable in the future. 


RISKS OF RAPID EXPANSION; MANAGEMENT OF GROWTH 

   
   The Company's continued growth will depend on its ability to open and operate
new restaurants on a timely and profitable basis. The Company intends to open
two new restaurants during the balance of 1996 and approximately 15 restaurants
during 1997, subject to the Company's ability to obtain financing for such
expansion following completion of the Offering. See "Future Capital Needs". The
ability of the Company to open and operate new restaurants on a timely and
profitable basis is subject to various contingencies, some of which are beyond
the Company's control. These contingencies include, among others, the Company's
ability to secure suitable restaurant sites on a timely basis and on
satisfactory terms, to obtain required governmental permits and approvals, to
complete construction on a cost-effective and timely basis, to hire, train and
retain skilled management and other personnel, to obtain adequate financing or
other capital resources and to successfully integrate new restaurants into the
Company's existing operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will
be able to achieve its planned expansion or that its expansion will be
profitable. Profitability may be adversely affected by costs associated with
developing a significant number of new restaurants over a relatively short
period of time. New restaurants typically incur above-average operating costs
during the first several months of operation, which have a material adverse
effect on the profitability of such restaurants during such period. In addition,
although the Company intends to open new restaurants within its current market
area, it also intends to open new restaurants in geographic markets in which the
Company has limited or no previous operating experience. Failure of the Company
to achieve its planned expansion on a profitable basis would have a material
adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.
    

   The Company is subject to a variety of business risks associated with 
rapidly growing companies, including the risk that existing management, 
information systems and financial controls will be inadequate to support the 
Company's planned expansion. There can be no assurance that the Company will 
be able to respond on a timely basis to all of the changing demands that its 
planned expansion will impose on management and such systems and controls. In 
addition, several members of the Company's management team have recently 
joined the Company and have no experience operating a large restaurant chain. 
The failure to continue to evaluate and improve management, information 
systems and financial controls or unexpected difficulties encountered during 
expansion could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of 
operations and financial condition. 

FUTURE CAPITAL NEEDS 

   The Company currently intends to finance new restaurants with cash from 
operations and the net proceeds from the Offering. The Company intends to 
open two new restaurants during the balance of 1996 and approximately 15 
restaurants in 1997. The Company expects that the average cash investment 
required to open its prototype restaurants, including pre-opening expenses 
but excluding real estate costs, will be approximately $1.1 million or $1.4 
million, depending upon whether the Company converts an existing building or 
constructs a new restaurant. Real estate costs will vary depending upon 
whether the Company purchases or leases restaurant properties and depending 
upon market conditions and location of the properties. The average real 
estate acquisition cost for the 11 restaurant sites owned 

                                6           
<PAGE>
   
by the Company was approximately $898,000. The average monthly occupancy cost 
in Fiscal 1996 (through September 29, 1996) for the 18 restaurant sites 
leased by the Company was approximately $11,000 per site. There can be no 
assurance that the actual cost of opening the Company's prototype restaurants 
will not be significantly greater than that expected by the Company. 
Historically, the Company has funded its working capital needs through sales 
of Common and Preferred Stock and borrowings from related parties. The 
Company believes that the net proceeds of the Offering together with cash 
from operations, will be sufficient to fund its working capital needs and 
anticipated expansion for the next six months. In order to complete its 
anticipated expansion through 1997, the Company will be required to incur 
short-term or long-term indebtedness or issue, in public or private 
transactions, equity or debt securities. However, there can be no assurance 
that such debt or equity financing will be available on terms acceptable to 
the Company, if at all. The Company currently does not have a credit facility 
with a bank or other financial institution. See "Management's Discussion and 
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and 
Capital Resources." 
    

GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION; SMALL RESTAURANT BASE 

   Of the 30 restaurants currently owned and operated by the Company, 24 are 
located in Florida. Consequently, the Company's results of operations may be 
materially adversely affected by downturns in Florida's economy or by 
hurricanes or other adverse weather conditions in Florida. Also, adverse 
publicity in Florida relating to Roadhouse Grill restaurants could have a 
more pronounced effect on the Company's results of operations than might be 
the case if its restaurants were broadly dispersed geographically. Further, 
there can be no assurance that continued expansion in the Company's current 
market areas will not adversely affect the financial performance of other 
restaurants already operated by the Company in those areas. In addition, the 
Company has recently opened new restaurants in Georgia, South Carolina and 
upstate New York. However, the Company has not previously managed restaurants 
that are geographically dispersed, and there can be no assurance that the 
Company will be able to operate restaurants profitably outside Florida. 

   The operating results achieved to date by the Company's relatively small 
restaurant base may not be indicative of the future operating results of a 
larger number of restaurants. In addition, due to the Company's small 
restaurant base, poor operating results at any one restaurant could adversely 
affect the results of operations of the entire Company. 

SEASONALITY AND FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY RESULTS 

   The Company's sales and earnings fluctuate seasonally, and the Company's 
highest sales and earnings historically have occurred in its first and fourth 
fiscal quarters. The Company's restaurants are located primarily in Florida, 
and the Company believes that the effects of seasonality are more pronounced 
in Florida than in other states. In addition, quarterly results are 
significantly affected by the timing of new restaurant openings, as new 
restaurants incur above-average operating costs during the first several 
months of operation. Accordingly, to the extent that restaurant openings are 
concentrated in any fiscal period, results of operations for such fiscal 
period and subsequent fiscal periods may be materially adversely affected. 
Due to the seasonality of the Company's business and the impact of new 
restaurant openings, results of operations may fluctuate significantly from 
quarter to quarter, and the Company's results of operations for any 
particular quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be 
achieved for the full fiscal year. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis 
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Seasonality and Quarterly 
Results." 

COMPETITION FOR CUSTOMERS, SITES AND LABOR 

   The restaurant industry is highly competitive. The Company competes with a 
broad range of restaurants, including national and regional casual dining 
chains as well as locally-owned restaurants, some of which operate with 
concepts similar to that of the Company. Many of the Company's competitors 
are well established and have substantially greater market presence and 
financial and other resources than the Company. The entrance of new 
competitors into the Company's market areas or the 

                                7           
<PAGE>
expansion of operations by existing competitors could have a material adverse 
effect on the Company's results of operations and financial condition. In 
addition, the Company competes with other restaurant companies and retailers 
for sites, labor and, in many cases, customers. The Company believes that the 
key competitive factors in the restaurant industry are quality of food and 
service, price, location and concept. To the extent that one or more of its 
competitors becomes more successful in respect of any key competitive factor, 
the Company's business could be adversely affected. See "Business--
Competition; Restaurant Industry." 

CERTAIN RISKS OF THE RESTAURANT INDUSTRY; CHANGES IN DEMOGRAPHIC AND ECONOMIC 
CONDITIONS; AVAILABILITY OF QUALIFIED EMPLOYEES 

   The restaurant industry is affected by changes in consumer tastes as well 
as national, regional and local economic conditions, demographic trends, 
traffic patterns, and the type, number and location of competing restaurants. 
Dependence on fresh meats and produce also subjects restaurant companies to 
the risk that shortages or interruptions in supply could adversely affect the 
availability, quality or cost of ingredients. In addition, factors such as 
inflation, increased food, labor and employee benefit costs and the 
availability of qualified management and hourly employees also may adversely 
affect the restaurant industry generally and the Company's restaurants in 
particular. The success and future profitability of the Company will depend 
in part on its ability to identify and respond to changing conditions within 
the restaurant industry. 

ADVERSE CHANGES IN FOOD, LABOR AND OTHER COSTS; SUPPLY RISKS 

   The profitability of the Company is significantly dependent on its ability 
to anticipate and react to changes in food, labor, employee benefits and 
similar costs over which the Company has little or no control. The Company is 
dependent on frequent deliveries of fresh beef and produce, the cost of which 
represented approximately 16% of total revenues for Fiscal 1995. Shortages or 
interruptions in the supply of fresh beef and produce, which may be caused by 
adverse weather or other conditions, could have a material adverse effect on 
the Company's results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the 
Company purchased approximately 87% of its food and other products from two 
distributors during Fiscal 1995. On August 5, 1996, the Company began doing 
business with only one of these two principal distributors and anticipates 
that approximately 80% of its food and other products will be purchased from 
that distributor in the future. While the Company believes that alternative 
sources of supply are readily available, the loss of this distributor could 
have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations during 
the period in which alternative supply arrangements are established. 

GOVERNMENT REGULATION CONCERNING RESTAURANT OPERATIONS, EMPLOYEES AND 
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES 

   The Company is subject to numerous federal, state and local government 
laws and regulations, including those relating to the sale of food and 
alcoholic beverages and the development, construction and operation of the 
Company's restaurants. The failure to comply with any such laws and 
regulations, including the failure to obtain or maintain any liquor licenses, 
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations 
and financial condition. The Company is also subject to laws governing its 
relationship with employees, including minimum wage requirements, laws and 
regulations relating to overtime and working and safety conditions and 
citizenship requirements. Material increases in the minimum hourly wage, 
unemployment tax rates, sales taxes or the cost of compliance with any 
applicable law or regulation could materially and adversely affect the 
Company. The Company is also subject in certain states to "dram-shop" 
statutes which generally provide a person injured by an intoxicated person 
the right to recover damages from an establishment that wrongfully served 
alcoholic beverages to the intoxicated person. Any liability of the Company 
under such statutes could have a material adverse effect on the Company's 
results of operations and financial condition. In connection with its 
franchise operations, the Company is required to comply with Federal Trade 
Commission and state laws and regulations that govern the offer, sale and 
termination of franchises and the refusal to renew franchises. See 
"Business--Government Regulation." 

                                8           
<PAGE>
DEPENDENCE ON SENIOR MANAGEMENT 

   The Company's success will depend largely on the abilities of its senior 
management, including John D. Toole III, President and Chief Executive 
Officer of the Company. The loss of Mr. Toole's services or the services of 
other members of senior management could have a material adverse effect on 
the Company's results of operations and financial condition. As the Company 
expands its operations, the success of its business will depend increasingly 
upon the Company's ability to attract and retain skilled restaurant 
management personnel. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able 
to attract and retain sufficient personnel, and the inability to do so would 
have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and 
financial condition. See "Management" and "Business--Restaurant Operations 
and Management." 

CONTROL BY PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDER 

   Upon completion of the Offering, Berjaya Group (Cayman) Limited 
("Berjaya") will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, approximately 
57.2% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock. As a result, Berjaya will be 
able to control the vote on all matters requiring approval by the 
shareholders of the Company, to elect the entire Board of Directors and, 
effectively, to control the Company. In addition, Berjaya and the other 
existing shareholders of the Company are entitled to certain rights of first 
refusal with respect to the issuance of equity securities of the Company, 
other than shares issued in connection with an underwritten public offering. 
See "Principal Shareholders" and "Description of Capital Stock." 

ABSENCE OF PUBLIC MARKET; PRICE VOLATILITY 

   Prior to the Offering there has been no public market for the Common 
Stock, and there can be no assurance that an active public market will 
develop or continue after the Offering. The initial public offering price of 
the Common Stock will be determined through negotiations between the Company 
and the Representatives of the Underwriters, and there can be no assurance 
that the market price of the Common Stock after the Offering will not decline 
below the initial public offering price. See "Underwriting" for a discussion 
of the factors to be considered in determining the initial public offering 
price. 

   The market price of the Common Stock could fluctuate significantly in 
response to variations in quarterly operating results and other factors, 
including the performance of other restaurant companies. In addition, the 
securities markets have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations 
from time to time in recent years that often have been unrelated or 
disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. These 
broad fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock. 

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE 

   
   Upon completion of the Offering, the Company will have outstanding 
8,665,996 shares of Common Stock, of which the 2,000,000 shares sold pursuant 
to the Offering will be fully tradeable without restriction or further 
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities 
Act"). The remaining shares will be restricted securities as defined by Rule 
144 under the Securities Act. Of such shares constituting restricted 
securities, 4,161,069 shares will be eligible for sale, subject to certain 
restrictions, beginning 90 days after the date of this Prospectus and 
2,504,927 shares will become eligible for sale, subject to certain 
restrictions, at various times between May 1997 and May 1998. Sales of 
substantial amounts of Common Stock in the public market, or the perception 
that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price 
of the Common Stock or the ability of the Company to raise capital through a 
public offering of its equity securities. In addition, certain shareholders 
have the right to require the Company to register up to 6,524,330 shares of 
Common Stock under the Securities Act. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale."

(2) Although this amount will be used primarily for opening new restaurants, 
    some portion may be used for other general corporate purposes at the 
    discretion of the Board of Directors. 

   The indebtedness to be repaid with a portion of the net proceeds of the 
Offering was incurred for the purpose of opening or acquiring Roadhouse Grill 
restaurants and for other general corporate purposes. For a discussion of the 
terms of the indebtedness being repaid with the net proceeds of the Offering, 
see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results 
of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources" and "Management--Compensation 
Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation." 

   
   If the Company does not consummate either or both of the purchases of the 
remaining 50% interest in Kendall Roadhouse Grill, L.C. and the 50% interest 
in the Boca Raton, Florida Roadhouse Grill restaurant, the Company intends to 
use the net proceeds of the Offering that would have been applied to pay such 
purchase price or prices primarily for the opening of new restaurants, 
although a portion of such net proceeds may be used for other general 
corporate purposes at the discretion of the Board of Directors. See "Business--
Restaurant Locations."
    

   Pending the use of the net proceeds as described above, the Company plans 
to invest such net proceeds in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing 
securities. 

                               DIVIDEND POLICY 

   The Company has never declared or paid cash dividends on its outstanding 
capital stock. The Company intends to retain any earnings to finance 
operations and expansion and does not intend to pay cash dividends on the 
Common Stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of cash dividends, if 
any, in the future will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and 
will depend upon such factors as earnings, capital requirements, the 
Company's financial condition and other factors deemed relevant by the Board 
of Directors. Future loan agreements may restrict or prohibit the payment of 
dividends.

                                   DILUTION 


   
   Pro forma net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing the 
tangible net worth of the Company (tangible assets less liabilities) by the 
pro forma aggregate number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (which 
includes as outstanding the 1,918,612 shares of Common Stock issuable upon 
the conversion of the Issued Preferred Stock, which conversion will occur 
concurrently with the closing of the Offering). The net tangible book value 
of the Company as of September 29, 1996, was approximately $27,365,511, or 
$4.11 per share, pro forma. After giving effect to the sale of the 2,000,000 
shares of Common Stock offered hereby at an assumed initial public offering 
price of $7.00 per share and the application of the net proceeds therefrom 
after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated expenses of the 
Offering, the net tangible book value of the Company as of September 29, 1996 
would have been approximately $39,895,511, or $4.60 per share, pro forma. 
This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value 
per share of $0.49 to existing shareholders and an immediate dilution of 
$2.40 per share to new investors. The following table sets forth this per 
share dilution.

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

   The following discussion of the financial condition and results of 
operations should be read in conjunction with the Company's Financial 
Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. 

INTRODUCTION 

   
   The Company opened its first restaurant in March 1993 in Pembroke Pines,
Florida. As of the date of this Prospectus, there were 36 Roadhouse Grill
restaurants in operation, consisting of 30 Company-owned and six franchised or
licensed restaurants. Of the Company-owned restaurants, 24 are located in
Florida and six are located in Georgia, South Carolina and upstate New York. The
Company plans to open an additional two restaurants during the remainder of 1996
and approximately 15 restaurants in 1997, subject to the Company's ability to
obtain financing for such expansion following completion of the Offering. See
"Risk Factors--Risks of Rapid Expansion; Management of Growth," and "Risk
Factors--Future Capital Needs."

   The Company's revenues are derived primarily from the sale of food and 
beverages. Sales of alcoholic beverages accounted for approximately 12.4%, 
13.6%, 13.0% and 12.5% of total revenues in Fiscal 1993, Fiscal 1994, Fiscal 
1995 and the thirty-nine week period ended September 29, 1996, respectively. 
Franchise and management fees have accounted for less than 1.0% of the 
Company's total revenues for all periods since its inception. 

   The Company's new restaurants can be expected to incur above-average costs 
during the first few months of operation. Pre-opening costs, such as employee 
recruiting and training costs and other initial expenses incurred in 
connection with the opening of a new restaurant, are amortized over a 
twelve-month period commencing the first full month after the restaurant 
opens. During Fiscal 1996 (through September 29, 1996), pre-opening expenses 
incurred in connection with the opening of new Company-owned Roadhouse Grill 
restaurants averaged approximately $155,000. 
    


   In its first three fiscal years of operation, Fiscal 1993, Fiscal 1994 and 
Fiscal 1995, the Company incurred net losses of $713,000, $2.5 million and 
$3.5 million, respectively. Accordingly, the Company has made no provision 
for taxes payable for such fiscal years. At December 31, 1995, the Company 
had a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $5.9 million. 
   
   The average cash investment, excluding real estate costs and pre-opening 
expenses, required to open each of the 27 Roadhouse Grill restaurants opened 
by the Company prior to September 29, 1996 was approximately $1.3 million. 
The average real estate acquisition cost for the 11 restaurant sites owned by 
the Company was approximately $898,000. The Company has obtained financing in 
connection with the acquisition of its owned properties, which financing 
generally has required a down payment of 10% of the purchase price. The 
average monthly occupancy cost in Fiscal 1996 (through September 29, 1996) 
for the 18 restaurant sites leased by the Company was approximately $11,000 
per site. The Company expects that the average cash investment required to 
open its prototype restaurants, including pre-opening expenses but excluding 
real estate costs, will be approximately $1.1 million or $1.4 million, 
depending upon whether the Company converts an existing building or 
constructs a new restaurant. 
    
   In August 1996, the Company contracted to purchase from an unaffiliated 
third party the remaining 50% interest in Kendall Roadhouse Grill, L.C. The 
contract provides for the closing of such purchase within 15 days after the 
closing of the Offering or as soon thereafter as the conditions to closing 
have been satisfied; however, there can be no assurance that such purchase 
will be consummated. If the purchase is consummated, the Company will own 
100% of the Kendall, Florida Roadhouse Grill restaurant. In addition, the 
Company is currently negotiating the purchase of a 50% interest in the Boca 
Raton, Florida Roadhouse Grill restaurant from an unaffiliated third party 
and expects to use a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering to pay the 
purchase price therefor; however, there can be no assurance that such 
purchase will be consummated. The Company has managed the Boca Raton

restaurant under a management agreement since December 1994 and expects to 
continue to do so in the foreseeable future. See "Use of Proceeds."

</TABLE>

   THIRTY-NINE WEEK PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 29, 1996 COMPARED TO THIRTY-NINE 
   WEEK PERIOD ENDED OCTOBER 1, 1995 

   RESTAURANTS OPEN. At the beginning of Fiscal 1996, there were 19 
Company-owned restaurants in operation (including the Kendall, Florida 
Roadhouse Grill restaurant which was owned by a limited liability company in 
which the Company held a 50% ownership interest). At September 29, 1996, 
there were 28 Company-owned restaurants in operation, compared to 15 
Company-owned restaurants at October 1, 1995, a 86.7% year-over-year increase 
in the number of Company-owned restaurants. 

   TOTAL REVENUES. Total revenues increased $20.3 million, or 86.6%, from 
$23.5 million for the thirty-nine week period ended October 1, 1995 to $43.8 
million for the thirty-nine week period ended September 29, 1996. This 
increase was primarily attributable to the opening of nine additional 
restaurants during the thirty-nine week period ended September 29, 1996 and 
the inclusion of all 13 Company-owned restaurants added in Fiscal 1995 for 
the entire thirty-nine week period ended September 29, 1996, and was 
partially offset by modest decreases in sales at other restaurants open 
during such period. 

   FOOD AND BEVERAGE. Food and beverage costs increased $6.6 million, or 
78.5%, from $8.4 million for the thirty-nine week period ended October 1, 
1995 to $15.0 million for the thirty-nine week period ended September 29, 
1996. However, food and beverage costs decreased as a percentage of total 
revenues from 35.8% for the thirty-nine week period ended October 1, 1995 to 
34.2% for the comparable period in Fiscal 1996. This decrease reflects (i) 
the opening of new restaurants over a larger base of Company-owned 
restaurants in operation during the thirty-nine week period ended September 
29, 1996 compared to the thirty-nine week period ended October 1, 1995 and 
(ii) a continuing decline in food costs resulting from increased efficiencies 
associated with the implementation in Fiscal 1995 of detailed recipes, 
training manuals, inventory controls and other management tools. 


                               15           
<PAGE>

   LABOR AND BENEFITS. Labor and benefit costs increased $5.4 million, or 
67.2%, from $8.2 million for the thirty-nine week period ended October 1, 
1995 to $13.6 million for the thirty-nine week period ended September 29, 
1996. However, labor and benefit costs as a percentage of total revenues 
decreased from 34.7% for the thirty-nine week period ended October 1, 1995 to 
31.1% for the comparable period in Fiscal 1996. The decrease was primarily 
attributable to spreading the costs associated with training managers for new 
restaurants over a larger base of Company-owned restaurants in operation 
during the thirty-nine week period ended September 29, 1996 compared to the 
thirty-nine week period ended October 1, 1995. 

   OCCUPANCY AND OTHER. Occupancy and other costs increased $3.9 million, or 
69.2%, from $5.7 million for the thirty-nine week period ended October 1, 
1995 to $9.6 million for the thirty-nine week period ended September 29, 
1996. However, occupancy and other costs decreased as a percentage of total 
revenues from 24.1% for the thirty-nine week period ended October 1, 1995 to 
21.9% for the comparable period in Fiscal 1996. The decrease in this 
percentage resulted primarily from a significant increase in the percentage 
of restaurants owned, as opposed to leased, by the Company during the 
thirty-nine week period ended September 29, 1996, as compared to the 
comparable period in Fiscal 1995. 

   DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization expense 
increased $1.2 million, or 121.9%, from $981,000 for the thirty-nine week 
period ended October 1, 1995 to $2.2 million for the thirty-nine week period 
ended September 29, 1996. Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of 
total revenues increased from 4.2% for the thirty-nine week period ended 
October 1, 1995 to 5.0% for the comparable period in Fiscal 1996. The 
increase in this percentage resulted primarily from a significant increase in 
the percentage of restaurants owned by the Company as opposed to leased 
during the thirty-nine week period ended September 29, 1996, as compared to 
the comparable period in Fiscal 1995. 

   GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expense increased 
$1.6 million, or 81.2%, from $1.9 million for the thirty-nine week period 
ended October 1, 1995 to $3.5 million for the thirty-nine week period ended 
September 29, 1996. General and administrative expense as a percentage of 
total revenues decreased slightly from 8.2% for the thirty-nine week period 
ended October 1, 1995 to 8.0% for the comparable period in Fiscal 1996. 
Economies of scale resulting from a greater number of Company-owned 
restaurants in operation during the thirty-nine week period ended September 
29, 1996, as compared to the comparable period in Fiscal 1995, were offset by 
increased expenses in the latter half of Fiscal 1995 associated with 
increasing the management and support staff infrastructure in anticipation of 
future expansion. 

   
   TOTAL OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Total other income (expense) decreased by 
$645,000 from income of $141,000 for the thirty-nine week period ended October
1, 1995 to a $504,000 expense for the thirty-nine week period ended September
29, 1996. This decrease resulted primarily from interest expense incurred in
connection with the purchase of a total of ten restaurant sites during Fiscal
1995 and the thirty-nine week period ended September 29, 1996, and was partially
offset by income earned by the Kendall, Florida Roadhouse Grill restaurant,
which was accounted for under the equity method of accounting. See Note 5 to
Financial Statements.
    

   FISCAL 1995 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1994 

   RESTAURANTS OPEN. At the beginning of Fiscal 1994, there were three 
Company-owned restaurants in operation (including the North Miami, Florida 
Roadhouse Grill restaurant which was owned by a limited liability company in 
which the Company held a 50% ownership interest). During Fiscal 1994, the 
Company added three restaurants (including the Kendall, Florida Roadhouse 
Grill restaurant which was owned by a limited liability company in which the 
Company held a 50% ownership interest), and during Fiscal 1995 the Company 
added thirteen restaurants. As of the end of Fiscal 1995, the Company had 19 
Company-owned restaurants in operation. 


   TOTAL REVENUES. Total revenues increased $22.9 million, or 201.0%, from 
$11.4 million in Fiscal 1994 to $34.3 million in Fiscal 1995. This increase 
was attributable to the addition of 13 Company-owned restaurants during 
Fiscal 1995 and the inclusion of a full year of operations for the two 100% 

                               16           
<PAGE>
Company-owned restaurants opened in Fiscal 1994 and was partially offset by 
modest decreases in sales at certain restaurants opened in Fiscal 1993 and 
Fiscal 1994. 

   FOOD AND BEVERAGE. Food and beverage costs increased $8.0 million, or 
195.8%, from $4.1 million in Fiscal 1994 to $12.1 million in Fiscal 1995, but 
decreased as a percentage of total revenues from 35.9% in Fiscal 1994 to 
35.3% in Fiscal 1995. This decrease reflects a decline in food costs 
resulting from increased efficiencies associated with the implementation in 
Fiscal 1995 of detailed recipes, training manuals, inventory controls and 
other management tools. 

   LABOR AND BENEFITS. Labor and benefits costs increased $7.4 million, or 
160.9%, from $4.6 million in Fiscal 1994 to $12.0 million in Fiscal 1995, but 
decreased as a percentage of total revenues from 40.4% in Fiscal 1994 to 
35.1% in Fiscal 1995. This decline was primarily attributable to decreased 
training and recruiting costs resulting from lower restaurant employee 
turnover in Fiscal 1995 compared to Fiscal 1994. 

   OCCUPANCY AND OTHER. Occupancy and other costs increased by $6.4 million, 
or 275.8%, from $2.3 million in Fiscal 1994 to $8.7 million in Fiscal 1995. 
As a percentage of total revenues, occupancy and other costs increased from 
20.4% in Fiscal 1994 to 25.4% in Fiscal 1995. This increase resulted 
primarily from expanded advertising and promotional activities of the Company 
and greater pre-opening expenses in Fiscal 1995 compared to Fiscal 1994. 

   DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization expense 
increased by $1.3 million, or 300.7%, from $415,000 in Fiscal 1994 to $1.7 
million in Fiscal 1995. As a percentage of total revenues, depreciation and 
amortization expense increased from 3.6% in Fiscal 1994 to 4.9% in Fiscal 
1995. This percentage increase resulted from higher depreciation expense 
associated with the purchase of five restaurant sites in Fiscal 1995 and from 
the amortization of goodwill associated with three restaurants acquired from 
franchisees in Fiscal 1995. All of the Company-owned restaurants opened prior 
to Fiscal 1995 are leased. 

   GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expense increased 
by $1.4 million, or 73.9%, from $1.9 million in Fiscal 1994 to $3.3 million 
in Fiscal 1995. This increase was a result of increasing the management and 
support staff infrastructure in anticipation of future expansion. As a 
percentage of total revenues, general and administrative expense declined 
from 16.8% in Fiscal 1994 to 9.7% in Fiscal 1995. The decrease in this 
percentage was primarily attributable to economies of scale resulting from a 
greater number of Company-owned restaurants in operation during Fiscal 1995. 

   TOTAL OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Total other income (expense) increased by 
$610,000 from a $571,000 expense in Fiscal 1994 to income of $39,000 in 
Fiscal 1995. This increase in total other income (expense) was primarily 
attributable to the Company's share of income earned by the Kendall, Florida 
Roadhouse Grill restaurant, which was accounted for under the equity method 
of accounting, and income from game rooms in new Company-owned restaurants, 
which income was partially offset by increased interest expense incurred in 
connection with the purchase of five restaurant sites in Fiscal 1995. 

   FISCAL 1994 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1993 

   RESTAURANTS OPEN. At the beginning of Fiscal 1993, there were no 
Company-owned restaurants in operation. The Company added three restaurants 
in each of Fiscal 1993 and Fiscal 1994 (including the North Miami, Florida 
Roadhouse Grill restaurant added in Fiscal 1993, which was owned by a limited 
liability company in which the Company held a 50% ownership interest, and the 
Kendall, Florida Roadhouse Grill restaurant added in Fiscal 1994, which was 
owned by a separate limited liability company in which the Company held a 50% 
ownership interest). As of the end of Fiscal 1994, the Company had six 
Company-owned restaurants in operation. 

   TOTAL REVENUES. Total revenues increased $7.9 million, or 228.6%, from 
$3.5 million in Fiscal 1993 to $11.4 million in Fiscal 1994. This increase 
was attributable to the opening of two 100% Company-owned restaurants during 
Fiscal 1994 and the inclusion of a full year of operations for the two 100% 
Company-owned restaurants opened in Fiscal 1993. 

                               17           
<PAGE>
   FOOD AND BEVERAGE. Food and beverage costs increased by $2.6 million, or 
177.7%, from $1.5 million in Fiscal 1993 to $4.1 million in Fiscal 1994, but 
decreased as a percentage of total revenues from 42.4% in Fiscal 1993 to 
35.9% in Fiscal 1994. This decrease was attributable primarily to lower food 
costs during Fiscal 1994 that resulted from the introduction of portion 
controls and improved inventory management. 

   LABOR AND BENEFITS. Labor and benefits costs increased by $3.6 million, or 
366.2%, from $988,000 in Fiscal 1993 to $4.6 million in Fiscal 1994. As a 
percentage of total revenues, labor and benefits costs increased from 28.5% 
in Fiscal 1993 to 40.4% in Fiscal 1994. This increase in labor and benefits 
costs was a result of overstaffing existing restaurants in order to hire and 
train managers and staff for restaurants to be opened. 

   OCCUPANCY AND OTHER. Occupancy and other costs increased by $1.1 million, 
or 90.2%, from $1.2 million in Fiscal 1993 to $2.3 million in Fiscal 1994, 
but decreased as a percentage of total revenues from 35.2% in Fiscal 1993 to 
20.4% in Fiscal 1994. The decrease in this percentage reflects unusually high 
occupancy and other costs as a percentage of total revenues in Fiscal 1993, 
which resulted primarily from spreading costs associated with the opening of 
the Company's first three restaurants over a small revenue base in Fiscal 
1993. 

   DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization expense 
increased by $368,000 from $47,000 in Fiscal 1993 to $415,000 in Fiscal 1994. 
As a percentage of total revenues, depreciation and amortization increased 
from 1.4% in Fiscal 1993 to 3.6% in Fiscal 1994 primarily as a result of 
depreciation associated with two restaurants opened late in Fiscal 1993 and 
three restaurants opened in Fiscal 1994. 

   GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expense increased 
by $1.6 million from $280,000 in Fiscal 1993 to $1.9 million in Fiscal 1994. 
As a percentage of total revenues, general and administrative expense 
increased from 8.1% in Fiscal 1993 to 16.8% in Fiscal 1994. This increase was 
the result of the recruitment and hiring of additional management and support 
staff in anticipation of future growth. 

   TOTAL OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Total other income (expense) decreased by 
$398,000 from a $173,000 expense in Fiscal 1993 to a $571,000 expense in 
Fiscal 1994. The decrease in total other income (expense) was primarily 
attributable to losses incurred by the North Miami and Kendall, Florida 
Roadhouse Grill restaurants, which were accounted for under the equity method 
of accounting, and incremental financing costs associated with the Company's 
growth. 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES 

   The Company requires capital principally for the opening of new 
restaurants and has financed its requirements through the private placement 
of Common Stock and Preferred Stock and loans from certain private parties, 
including present and former shareholders of the Company. 

   
   In July 1996, the Company issued promissory notes in the principal amounts of
$1.5 million and $500,000 to a former Chairman of the Board of Directors of the
Company and to a shareholder of the Company, respectively. These notes were
repaid by the Company in August 1996 with the funds received in connection with
the issuance of a promissory note in the principal amount of $2.0 million to
Berjaya, the Company's principal shareholder. In September 1996, the Company
issued another promissory note in the principal amount of $1.5 million to such
former Chairman of the Board. Also in September 1996, the Company issued an
additional promissory note in the principal amount of $3.0 million to Berjaya.
The proceeds of these loans were used for opening new restaurants, and the
Company intends to repay the notes payable to a former Chairman of the Board of
Directors of the Company with the net proceeds of the Offering. The loan from
Berjaya, which was due and payable upon closing of the Offering, has been
extended and will mature on the first anniversary of the Completion of the
Offering. See "Management--Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider
Participation."
    

   In September 1996, the Company borrowed $500,000 from SunTrust Bank, 
Miami, N.A. Such loan is unsecured, bears interest at the bank's prime rate 
plus 1% and is due and payable on December 31, 1996. The proceeds of this 
loan will be used for general corporate purposes. 

                               18

   The Company's capital expenditures aggregated approximately $14.2 million 
for the thirty-nine week period ended September 29, 1996, substantially all 
of which was used to open Roadhouse Grill restaurants. During such period, 
the Company received approximately $5.0 million from the private placement of 
Common Stock. Net cash provided by operating activities during the 
thirty-nine week period ended September 29, 1996 was approximately $4.0 
million. 


   The Company's capital expenditures aggregated $14.5 million for Fiscal 
1995, substantially all of which was used to open Roadhouse Grill 
restaurants. In addition, the Company acquired two restaurants for aggregate 
cash consideration of $3.0 million. During Fiscal 1995, the Company received 
approximately $6.0 million from the private placement of Common Stock. It 
also borrowed funds in the aggregate amount of approximately $2.5 million 
from a former Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company (who is also 
a former shareholder), which loans were consolidated and extended in January 
1996. In addition, the Company borrowed $600,000 from the owner of a 50% 
interest in Kendall Roadhouse Grill, L.C. and approximately $3.5 million from 
Berjaya. Net cash used in operating activities during Fiscal 1995 was 
approximately $784,000. 

   The Company's capital expenditures aggregated approximately $10.1 million 
for Fiscal 1994, substantially all of which was used to open Roadhouse Grill 
restaurants. During Fiscal 1994, the Company received approximately $20.8 
million from the private placement of the Issued Preferred Stock and Common 
Stock. Net cash used in operating activities during Fiscal 1994 was $1.8 
million. 

   The Company's capital expenditures aggregated $1.4 million during Fiscal 
1993, substantially all of which was used to open Roadhouse Grill 
restaurants. During Fiscal 1993, the Company received $1.6 million in 
connection with the issuance of promissory notes to Berjaya and $100,500 from 
the private placement of Common Stock. In addition, net cash provided by 
operating activities during 1993 was approximately $40,000. 

   
   The Company expects to open two additional Roadhouse Grill restaurants during
the remainder of 1996 and approximately 15 restaurants during 1997, subject to
the Company's ability to obtain financing for such expansion following
closing of the Offering. See "Risk Factors--Future Capital Needs." The
Company expects that the average cash investment required to open its prototype
restaurants, including pre-opening expenses but excluding real estate costs,
will be approximately $1.1 million or $1.4 million, depending on whether the
Company converts an existing building or constructs a new restaurant. The
Company believes that the net proceeds of the Offering together with cash from
operations, will be sufficient to fund its working capital needs for the next
six months. In order to complete its anticipated expansion through 1997, the
Company will be required to incur short-term or long-term indebtedness or issue,
in public or private transactions, equity or debt securities. Upon completion of
the Offering, the Company intends to seek a bank line of credit for purposes of
obtaining additional funding for such expansion. However, there can be no
assurance that such line of credit, or any other debt or equity financing will
be available on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all, or, if available,
will be available in an amount sufficient to fund the Company's working capital
needs, including anticipated expansion. See "Risk Factors--Future Capital
Needs."
    

   As is common in the restaurant industry, the Company has generally 
operated with negative working capital ($12.8 million as of September 29, 
1996). The Company does not have significant receivables or inventory and 
receives trade credit on its purchases of food and supplies. 


SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY RESULTS 

   The Company's sales and earnings fluctuate seasonally. Historically, the 
Company's highest earnings have occurred in its first and fourth fiscal 
quarters. In addition, quarterly results have been, and in the future are 
likely to be, substantially affected by the timing of new restaurant 
openings. Because of the seasonality of the Company's business and the impact 
of new restaurant openings, results for any quarter are not necessarily 
indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year. 

IMPACT OF INFLATION 

   The Company does not believe that inflation has materially affected its 
results of operations during the past three fiscal years. Substantial 
increases in costs and expenses, particularly food, supplies, labor 

                               19

and operating expenses could have a significant impact on the Company's 
operating results to the extent that such increases cannot be passed along to 
customers. 

ACCOUNTING MATTERS 

   
   Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for 
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of", requires that 
long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by 
an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in 
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be 
recoverable. Impairment is evaluated by comparing future cash flows 
(undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to result from use of 
the asset and its eventual disposition to the carrying amount of the asset. 
This new accounting principle was adopted by the Company effective January 1, 
1996. As of January 1, 1996 and September 29, 1996, this new accounting
principle had no material impact on the Company's financial position or results
of operations.
    

   In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, "Accounting for 
Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS No. 123), which becomes effective for 
financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. SFAS 
No. 123 defines a fair value based method of accounting for an employee stock 
option or similar equity instrument and encourages all entities to adopt that 
method of accounting for all of their employee stock compensation plans. 
However, it also allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost 
for those plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting 
prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for 
Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25). The Company is currently accounting for 
stock-based compensation under APB 25, and will continue accounting for 
stock-based compensation under this method.

                                   BUSINESS 

GENERAL 

   The Company currently owns and operates 30 and franchises or licenses six 
full-service, casual dining restaurants under the name "Roadhouse Grill." The 
Roadhouse Grill concept offers a fun, value-oriented dining experience that 
features premium quality grilled entrees and friendly service consistent with 
the Company's motto: "Good Food and a Smile . . . That's Roadhouse 
Style."/registered trademark/ The comfortable, entertaining roadhouse setting 
is designed to appeal to a broad range of customers, including business 
people, couples, singles and particularly families. 

   Roadhouse Grill restaurants are based upon a roadhouse-style concept 
developed in 1991 by the Company's founder and chief executive officer, John 
D. Toole, III. In March 1993, Mr. Toole introduced the roadhouse-style 
concept to South Florida by opening the first Roadhouse Grill restaurant in 
Pembroke Pines (Fort Lauderdale) with the financial backing of other 
restaurant entrepreneurs. Since that time, the Company has grown rapidly, 
adding two additional restaurants in 1993, three restaurants in 1994, 13 
restaurants in 1995 and, to date, 11 restaurants in 1996. The Company also 
franchises or licenses three restaurants in Malaysia and three restaurants in 
the United States. A substantial portion of the funding for the Company's 
rapid expansion was obtained from capital investments and loans from Berjaya, 
its principal shareholder and an affiliate of the Company's franchisees for 
Asia and the Pacific Rim. 

THE ROADHOUSE GRILL CONCEPT 

   The key elements that define the Roadhouse Grill concept are: 

   /bullet/ COMFORTABLE, OPEN LAYOUT. Roadhouse Grill restaurants have an 
            energetic and casual atmosphere. The interior of each restaurant 
            is large, open and visually appealing, with exposed ceilings and 
            brick and lapboard cedar walls decorated with colorful, 
            hand-painted murals and neon signs. Multi-level seating provides 
            guests with a full view of the restaurant, including the 
            exhibition grill and display kitchen, allowing everyone to enjoy 
            the Roadhouse Grill experience. The exhibition cooking area 
            features a mesquite-fired grill, a kitchen where homemade yeast 
            rolls are made throughout the day and a display case filled with 
            fresh cuts of meat, seafood and salads. To help create Roadhouse 
            Grill's casual ambience, metal pails of roasted peanuts top each 
            table, guests are encouraged to toss peanut shells on the floor, 
            drinks are served in mason jars, long neck beers are delivered in 
            metal buckets filled with ice, and a classic jukebox entertains 
            guests with popular rock and country and western music. The 
            exterior of each restaurant features rough-sawed siding, a 
            wrap-around wood plank porch, a tin roof trimmed in neon and an 
            oversized "Roadhouse Grill" sign. 

   /bullet/ PREMIUM QUALITY GRILLED ENTREES AND DIVERSE MENU. The Roadhouse 
            Grill menu features aged USDA Choice steaks, ribs, chicken and 
            seafood. An in-house butcher at each restaurant cuts and trims 
            the steaks and prime rib, which are aged both before and after 
            carving. In addition to grilled selections, the menu includes a 
            variety of appetizers, sandwiches, salads and desserts, including 
            signature items such as Roadhouse cheese wraps, 
            hot-out-of-the-oven yeast rolls made from scratch each day and a 
            daily selection of homemade ice cream. 

   
   /bullet/ HIGH VALUE TO GUESTS. Roadhouse Grill strives to provide a high 
            value dining experience for its guests by offering a broad, 
            moderately-priced menu and serving generous portions. At 
            Roadhouse Grill restaurants, the price of each entree includes a 
            choice of house or caesar salad, a choice of baked sweet potato, 
            baked potato, home fries, french fries or rice pilaf and 
            hot-out-of-the-oven homemade yeast rolls. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. 
            Monday through Friday, each Roadhouse Grill offers a selection of 
            14 "Lunch in a Rush" menu items ranging from grilled steak salad 
            to a half-order of ribs, all served to order in under 10 minutes 
            and priced at $6.29 or less. For the nine months ended September 
            29, 1996, the average guest check, including beverage, was 
            approximately $8.75 for lunch and $13.25 for dinner. 
    

                               21           
<PAGE>
   /bullet/ BROAD CUSTOMER APPEAL; FOCUS ON FAMILIES. The Roadhouse Grill 
            concept is designed to appeal to a broad range of customers, 
            including business people, couples, singles and particularly 
            families. The Company believes that to be attractive to families 
            a concept must be appealing to both children and parents. 
            Consequently, Roadhouse Grill restaurants furnish children with 
            coloring menus, balloons and a free souvenir cup, and all 
            Roadhouse Grill prototype restaurants have a game room featuring 
            pinball and video games. In addition, each restaurant offers a 
            special "Kids' Menu" featuring an assortment of entrees for 
            $2.99. In 1995, Roadhouse Grill was voted a "Best Family 
            Restaurant" in a survey conducted by SOUTH FLORIDA PARENTING 
            magazine. For adults, each Roadhouse Grill restaurant offers 
            beverages from its full-service bar, which is separated from the 
            dining area. 

   /bullet/ EFFICIENT, PERSONALIZED SERVICE. The Company believes that a 
            distinctive, enjoyable dining experience is made possible through 
            excellent service. Accordingly, the Company hires individuals who 
            possess strong initiative and the ability to provide quality and 
            personalized service. Roadhouse Grill attempts to foster the 
            individuality of its employees, encouraging them to converse and 
            interact with guests on a friendly, casual basis. Servers often 
            sit down at the table with guests to take orders, and the 
            restaurant manager visits each table to help ensure customer 
            satisfaction. 

EXPANSION STRATEGY 

   
   The Company's primary expansion strategy is to continue opening Company-owned
restaurants in targeted markets in the United States. The Company plans to open
restaurants primarily in selected medium and large metropolitan areas primarily
in the Southeast and Gulf Coast regions. In addition, the Company is evaluating
prospects for opening restaurants in Ohio and is considering opening additional
restaurants in upstate New York. In each target market, the Company intends to
cluster multiple restaurants to help build brand awareness and increase
efficiencies in marketing and management. As of the date hereof, the Company had
added eleven restaurants in 1996, and it plans to open two additional
Company-owned restaurants during the remainder of 1996. In 1997, the Company
plans to open approximately 15 restaurants, for a total of approximately 47
Company-owned restaurants by the end of 1997. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to obtain the financing necessary to open any of the
restaurants planned to be opened in 1997. See "Risk Factors--Future Capital
Needs."
    

   The Company also intends to actively support the development of Roadhouse 
Grill restaurants in Asia and the Pacific Rim through its international 
franchisees, Roadhouse Grill Asia Pacific (H.K.) Limited, a Hong Kong 
corporation ("Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong"), and Roadhouse Grill Asia Pacific 
(Cayman) Limited, a Cayman Islands corporation ("Roadhouse Grill Asia"), both 
of which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Berjaya. The Company expects that 
Roadhouse Grill Asia, which currently operates three Roadhouse Grill 
restaurants in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, will develop at least two additional 
Roadhouse Grill restaurants in 1997. Berjaya is a wholly-owned subsidiary of 
Berjaya Group Berhad ("Berjaya Berhad"), a publicly-traded Malaysian company 
with diversified interests, which operates more than 25 other restaurants in 
Asia and the Pacific Rim. Although the Company has granted rights for the 
development of Roadhouse Grill restaurants in certain areas of the United 
States, it plans to concentrate domestic expansion on the opening of 
Company-owned restaurants. 

SITE SELECTION; DESIGN AND LAYOUT 

   The Company believes the site selection process is critical to the 
long-term success of any restaurant and, accordingly, devotes significant 
time and effort to the investigation and evaluation of potential locations. 
Among the factors it considers in the site selection process are market 
demographics (including population, age and median household income), traffic 
patterns and activity, site visibility and accessibility, and proximity to 
residential developments, office complexes, hotels, retail establishments and 
entertainment areas. The Company also considers existing or potential 
competition in the area and attempts to analyze the performance of other area 
restaurants. Currently, Company-owned restaurants are operated on both owned 
and leased sites, with a majority being leased. 

                               22           
<PAGE>
   Management generally determines which geographic areas may be suitable for 
Roadhouse Grill restaurants and then employs real estate agents and brokers 
to identify potential sites in each area. In connection with the Company's 
evaluation, Company personnel visit and analyze each potential site. After a 
location has been leased or purchased and the necessary licenses and permits 
obtained, the average time for construction of new Roadhouse Grill 
restaurants has been approximately 120 days and the average time for 
renovation of an existing building has been approximately 90 days. However, 
there can be no assurance that such construction schedules can be maintained 
in the future. 

   Roadhouse Grill restaurants are large, open and visually appealing, with 
exposed ceilings and brick and lapboard cedar walls decorated with colorful, 
hand-painted murals and neon signs. The prototypical interior also includes 
multi-level seating, an exhibition grill and display kitchen and a game room 
featuring pinball and video games. The exterior of each restaurant features 
rough-sawed siding, a wrap-around wood plank porch, a tin roof trimmed in 
neon and an oversized "Roadhouse Grill" sign. Company-owned restaurants 
opened prior to March 1996 range generally from 6,000 to 8,500 square feet in 
size. During the last year, the Company refined its prototype from 
approximately 7,500 square feet (with seating for approximately 235 guests) 
to approximately 6,800 square feet (with seating for approximately 210 
guests) in an effort to reduce construction costs without significantly 
impacting restaurant sales. The Company expects that the average cash 
investment required to open its prototype restaurants, including pre-opening 
expenses but excluding real estate costs, will be approximately $1.1 million 
or $1.4 million, depending on whether the Company converts an existing 
building or constucts a new restaurant. However, there can be no assurance 
that the cost of opening Roadhouse Grill restaurants in the future will not 
increase. See "Risk Factors--Limited Operating History; Operating Losses" and 
"Risk Factors--Risks of Rapid Expansion; Management of Growth." 

RESTAURANT ECONOMICS 
   
   The Company believes that Company-owned Roadhouse Grill restaurants have 
achieved attractive unit level economics. The 15 Company-owned restaurants 
which were open for the entire twelve-month period ended September 29, 1996 
generated average restaurant revenues of approximately $2.8 million, average 
restaurant cash flow of approximately $378,000 and average restaurant 
operating income after depreciation and amortization of approximately 
$238,000. The average cash investment, excluding real estate costs and 
pre-opening expenses, required to open each of the 27 Company-owned Roadhouse 
Grill restaurants opened by the Company prior to September 29, 1996 was 
approximately $1.3 million. The average real estate acquisition cost for the 
11 restaurant sites owned by the Company was approximately $898,000. The 
average monthly occupancy cost in Fiscal 1996 (through September 29, 1996) 
for the 18 restaurant sites leased by the Company was approximately $11,000 
per site. The average amount of pre-opening expenses incurred for each 
Company-owned Roadhouse Grill restaurant opened during Fiscal 1996 (through 
September 29, 1996) was approximately $155,000. However, there can be no 
assurance that existing or new restaurants will achieve unit economics in the 
future at the levels achieved in the twelve months ended June 30, 1996 or 
that the cost of opening a Roadhouse Grill restaurant will not increase. See 
"Risk Factors--Limited Operating History; Operating Losses" and "Risk 
Factors--Risks of Rapid Expansion; Management of Growth."

(2) The North Miami and Kendall restaurants originally were owned by limited 
    liability companies in which the Company held a 50% ownership interest. 
    The Davie and Fort Lauderdale restaurants were opened in March 1993 as 
    franchised restaurants. The Company acquired 100% ownership of the North 
    Miami, Davie and Fort Lauderdale restaurants in March 1995 and has 
    contracted to acquire 100% ownership of the Kendall restaurant, which
    acquisition will be consummated within 15 days of the Offering, subject
    only to the truth of the representations and warranties contained in the
    acquisition agreement.

   The Company currently has under construction, and expects to open by the end
of 1996, two restaurants, one each in Rochester, New York and Duluth (Atlanta),
Georgia. In addition to the foregoing, ten sites for restaurants that are
expected to open in 1997 have been acquired or leased, one each in Mobile,
Alabama; Melbourne and Doral (Miami), Florida; Gretna, Kenner and Shreveport,
Louisiana; Biloxi and Jackson, Mississippi; Columbus, Ohio; and Columbia, South
Carolina, nine of which are currently under construction. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the financing necessary to
open any of the restaurants planned to be opened in 1997. See "Risks
Factors--Future Capital Needs."
    

   
   Of the Company's 30 restaurants, 18 are located on leased sites. Existing 
restaurant leases have expiration dates ranging from December 1996 to April 
2015. The Company leases approximately 8,000 square feet for its corporate 
offices in Fort Lauderdale, Florida under a three year lease which expires 
September 30, 1998. 
    

MENU AND PRICING 

   
   The Roadhouse Grill menu features USDA Choice steaks and prime rib, beef 
ribs, chicken and seafood, all of which are grilled to order. The Company's 
steaks and prime rib are aged both before and after being cut and trimmed by 
each restaurant's in-house butcher. The menu features over sixty items, 
including eight cuts of steak ranging from 6 oz. to 18 oz. In addition to 
grilled selections, the menu offers a wide variety of appetizers, sandwiches, 
salads and desserts, including signature items such as Roadhouse cheese 
wraps, hot-out-of-the-oven yeast rolls made from scratch each day and a daily 
selection of homemade ice cream. Each entree is served with a choice of a 
house salad or caesar salad, a choice of baked sweet potato, baked potato, 
home fries, french fries or rice pilaf and homemade yeast rolls. Roadhouse 
Grill restaurants are open seven days a week for lunch and dinner and offer 
full bar service. Prices range from $2.99 to $6.29 for lunch entrees and from 
$4.99 to $15.99 for dinner entrees. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through 
Friday, in addition to its full menu, each Roadhouse Grill offers a selection 
of 14 "Lunch in a Rush" menu items ranging from grilled steak salad to a 
half-order of ribs, all prepared to order in under 10 minutes and priced at 
$6.29 or less. For the nine months ended September 29, 1996, the average 
guest check, including beverage, was approximately $8.75 for lunch and $13.25 
for dinner. 
    

RESTAURANT OPERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT 

   RESTAURANT PERSONNEL. The Company believes that excellent service 
contributes significantly to a distinctive, enjoyable dining experience. 
Accordingly, the Company seeks to hire individuals who possess strong 
initiative and the ability to provide quality and personalized service. 
Roadhouse Grill attempts to foster the individuality of its employees, 
encouraging them to interact with customers on a friendly, casual basis. 
Consistent with the Company's preference to promote from within, restaurant 
managers generally are selected from Company personnel. The Company seeks to 
retain high-quality restaurant managers and personnel by providing them with 
opportunities for promotion and financial incentives based on individual 
restaurant performance. These financial incentives include a bonus plan which 
enables each restaurant manager to earn a portion of a bonus pool by 
achieving certain predetermined performance goals. During Fiscal 1995, the 
Company's turnover rates were approximately 55% for restaurant staff and 21% 
for restaurant managers, which are significantly below the restaurant 
industry averages of 92% for staff employees and 50% for managers (as 
reported by the National Restaurant Association). 

   Roadhouse Grill restaurants generally operate with five managers, 
including a general manager, an assistant general manager, a kitchen manager 
and two assistant managers. The general manager of each restaurant has 
primary responsibility for managing the day-to-day operations of the 
restaurant in accordance with Company standards. The general manager and 
kitchen manager of each restaurant generally are responsible for 
interviewing, hiring and training restaurant staff. Each restaurant has a 
staff of approximately 90 employees, which includes at least one full-time, 
in-house butcher. The Company currently employs eight area supervisors, each 
of whom is responsible for three to four restaurants. The supervisors report 
to regional directors, each of whom has responsibility for four supervisors. 
The Company currently has two regional directors, who communicate daily with 
the Vice President of Operations. 

                               25           
<PAGE>
   The Company devotes a significant amount of time and resources to 
restaurant management and staff training. Each new manager participates in an 
eight-week training program, which is conducted at designated training 
restaurants, before assuming an assistant manager position (or, in some 
instances, a kitchen manager position) at a Roadhouse Grill restaurant. This 
program is designed to provide training in all areas of restaurant 
operations, including food preparation and service, alcoholic beverage 
service, Company philosophy, operating standards, policies and procedures, 
and business management and administration techniques. The managers of the 
training restaurant conduct weekly evaluations of each manager trainee. 

   In connection with the opening of each new restaurant, the Company sends 
one of its two full-time, 16-member training teams to train and assist the 
new restaurant employees. The training team generally arrives at each 
restaurant two weeks prior to opening and remains for four weeks after 
opening. Typically, the top three managers (the general manager, the 
assistant general manager and the kitchen manager) of each new restaurant are 
individuals who have been managers at an existing Roadhouse Grill restaurant. 

   INTERNAL CONTROLS; RESTAURANT REPORTING. The Company maintains financial 
and accounting controls for each of its restaurants through the use of 
centralized accounting and management information systems. The Company uses a 
computerized point-of-sale system to collect sales information from each 
restaurant, and restaurant managers are provided access to the operating 
statements for their restaurants. 

   PURCHASING. Roadhouse Grill operates a centralized purchasing system that 
is utilized by all restaurants operated by the Company (except those located 
in upstate New York). The Company purchased approximately 87% of its food and 
other products from two distributors during Fiscal 1995. Beginning August 5, 
1996, the Company began doing business with only one of these two principal 
distributors and anticipates that approximately 80% of its food and other 
products will be purchased from that distributor. See "Risk Factors--Changes 
in Food and Other Costs; Supply Risks." 

ADVERTISING AND MARKETING 
   
   The Company attempts to build brand awareness by providing a distinctive 
dining experience that results in a significant number of new customers being 
attracted through word of mouth, as well as by traditional marketing efforts 
and promotional activities. The Company believes that clustering multiple 
restaurants in target markets will help build brand awareness and increase 
efficiencies in its marketing efforts. The Company's marketing efforts are 
centered around print media and radio advertisements using the voice of 
"Cowboy Jim," the Company's mascot, and, to a lesser extent, the use of 
outdoor billboards. The Company also markets at the restaurant level through 
sponsorship of community charity activities, sporting events, festivals and 
Chamber of Commerce events. Prior to opening a restaurant, the Company 
typically conducts a six-week print and radio advertising campaign and holds 
a "VIP Night" at which city officials, Chamber of Commerce members, police, 
fire and rescue personnel, local business people, area media and others are 
invited to have "dinner on the Roadhouse." At certain restaurants, the 
Company also is test marketing t-shirts and other merchandise bearing the 
Roadhouse Grill name and logo to increase the Company's brand recognition. 
During the thirty-nine week period ended September 29, 1996, the Company 
spent approximately 3.8% of its revenues on advertising and marketing 
activities. 
    
FRANCHISING 

   The Company has granted franchise rights to the Roadhouse Grill concept in 
Asia and the Pacific Rim and in certain limited geographic areas in the 
United States. Pursuant to its expansion strategy, the Company expects to 
concentrate its future franchising activity in Asia and the Pacific Rim 
through its international franchisees, Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong and 
Roadhouse Grill Asia. Although the Company's United States franchisees may 
open a limited number of additional franchised restaurants in their 
respective territories, the Company does not intend to grant additional 
franchise rights in the 

                               26           
<PAGE>
United States, other than any rights that may be granted to the licensee of 
the Gresham, Oregon and San Diego, California Roadhouse Grill restaurants. 
See "--Domestic Franchising." 

   INTERNATIONAL FRANCHISING. In January 1996, the Company entered into a 
Master Development Agreement with Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong, which provides 
for the development and franchising of Roadhouse Grill restaurants in Hong 
Kong. Under the agreement, Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong is not required to 
develop any specific number of restaurants in Hong Kong, but any restaurants 
that it develops are credited against the development obligations of 
Roadhouse Grill Asia under Roadhouse Grill Asia's Master Development 
Agreement with the Company. Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong is not required to pay 
any franchise or reservation fee for restaurants that it develops, but it is 
responsible for paying or reimbursing approved expenses incurred by the 
Company in connection with the opening of each restaurant. In addition, 
Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong is required to pay a royalty in connection with the 
operation of each of its restaurants in the amount of 2.0% of gross sales for 
each restaurant's first three years of operation and 3.0% thereafter. Under 
certain circumstances, Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong or the Company may grant 
franchises to third parties in Hong Kong. In that event, the Company is 
entitled to receive 50% of any franchise and reservation fees and 50% of any 
royalty fee payable by the third party franchisee, subject to limitations on 
the amounts payable to the Company of $10,000 per restaurant in the case of 
franchise and reservations fees and 2.5% of gross sales in the case of 
royalty fees. 

   In January 1996, the Company also entered into a Master Development 
Agreement with Roadhouse Grill Asia which covers countries in Asia and the 
Pacific Rim (other than Hong Kong), including, but not limited to, Australia, 
China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, North Korea, South 
Korea, The Philippines and Thailand. Under the agreement, Roadhouse Grill 
Asia is required to open and maintain at least 30 Roadhouse Grill Restaurants 
during the first ten years of the term of the agreement, with a minimum of 
two restaurants to be developed each year. Under certain circumstances, 
Roadhouse Grill Asia or the Company may grant franchises to third parties in 
the territory. The fee arrangements under the agreement are substantially the 
same as those under the agreement between the Company and Roadhouse Grill 
Hong Kong. See "Certain Transactions." 

   DOMESTIC FRANCHISING. The Company has entered into franchise or license 
arrangements for the development and operation of Roadhouse Grill restaurants 
in Gresham, Oregon, Boca Raton, Florida, San Diego, California, Clark County, 
Nevada and the Greater Delaware Valley Region of Pennsylvania. The Gresham 
Roadhouse Grill has been in operation since January 1993; the Boca Raton 
Roadhouse Grill has been in operation since December 1994; the San Diego 
Roadhouse Grill has been in operation since January 1996; the Nevada 
franchisee commenced construction of its first restaurant in July 1996; and 
the Pennsylvania franchisee is currently evaluating sites for its restaurant. 
The Company is currently in negotiations with one of its licensees regarding 
exclusive development rights relating to additional Roadhouse Grill 
restaurants in a limited number of states in the western United States. There 
can be no assurance that an agreement on the terms currently being discussed 
will be reached or that an agreement will be reached at all. 

COMPETITION; RESTAURANT INDUSTRY 

   The restaurant industry is highly competitive. The Company competes with a 
broad range of restaurants, including national and regional casual dining 
chains as well as locally-owned restaurants, some of which operate with 
concepts similar to that of the Company. Many of the Company's competitors 
are well established and have substantially greater market presence and 
financial and other resources than the Company. The entrance of new 
competitors into the Company's market areas or the expansion of operations by 
existing competitors could have a material adverse effect on the Company's 
results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the Company 
competes with other restaurant companies and retailers for sites, labor and, 
in many cases, customers. The Company believes that the key competitive 
factors in the restaurant industry are quality of food and service, price, 
location and concept. To the extent that one or more of its competitors 
becomes more successful in respect of any key competitive factors, the 
Company's business could be adversely affected. See "Risk Factors--
Competition." 

                               27           
<PAGE>
   The restaurant industry is affected by changes in consumer tastes as well 
as national, regional and local economic conditions, demographic trends, 
traffic patterns, and the type, number and location of competing restaurants. 
Dependence on fresh meats and produce also subjects restaurant companies to 
the risk that shortages or interruptions of supply could adversely affect the 
availability, quality or cost of ingredients. In addition, factors such as 
inflation, increased food, labor and employee benefit costs and the 
availability of qualified management and hourly employees also may adversely 
affect the restaurant industry generally and the Company's restaurants in 
particular. The success and future profitability of the Company will depend 
in part on its ability to identify and to respond appropriately to changing 
conditions within the restaurant industry. See "Risk Factors--Restaurant 
Industry." 

GOVERNMENT REGULATION 

   Each Roadhouse Grill restaurant is subject to numerous federal, state and 
local laws and governmental regulations, including those relating to the 
preparation, sale and service of food and alcoholic beverages, designation of 
non-smoking and smoking areas, accessibility of restaurants to disabled 
customers, development and construction of restaurants and environmental 
matters. Roadhouse Grill also is subject to laws governing its relationship 
with employees, including minimum wage requirements, overtime, working 
conditions and immigration requirements. Difficulties or failures in 
obtaining the required construction and operating licenses, permits or 
approvals could delay or prevent the opening of a new restaurant. Roadhouse 
Grill believes that it is operating in compliance in all material respects 
with applicable laws and regulations that govern its operations. See "Risk 
Factors--Government Regulation." 

   Alcoholic beverage control regulations require each Roadhouse Grill 
restaurant to apply to a state authority and, in certain locations, county or 
municipal authorities for a license or permit to sell alcoholic beverages on 
the premises and to provide service for extended hours. Typically, licenses 
must be renewed annually and may be revoked or suspended for cause at any 
time. If a liquor license for any restaurant were lost, revenues for that 
restaurant would be adversely affected. Alcoholic beverage control 
regulations relate to numerous aspects of the Company's restaurants, 
including minimum age of patrons consuming and employees serving alcoholic 
beverages, hours of operation, advertising, wholesale purchasing, inventory 
control, and handling, storage and dispensing of alcoholic beverages. The 
Company is also subject to "dram-shop" statutes which generally provide a 
person injured by an intoxicated person the right to recover damages from an 
establishment that wrongfully served alcoholic beverages to the intoxicated 
person. The Company carries liquor liability coverage as part of its existing 
comprehensive general liability insurance. 

   In connection with its sale of franchises, the Company is subject to the 
United States Federal Trade Commission rules and regulations and state laws 
that regulate the offer and sale of franchises. The Company also is subject 
to laws that regulate certain aspects of the franchise relationship. 

   The Company is subject to various local, state and federal laws regulating 
the discharge of pollutants into the environment. The Company believes that 
its operations are in compliance in all material respects with applicable 
environmental laws and regulations. The Company conducts environmental audits 
of a proposed restaurant site in order to determine whether there is any 
evidence of contamination prior to purchasing or entering into a lease with 
respect to the site. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will 
not incur material environmental liability in connection with any of its 
owned or leased properties. 

EMPLOYEES 
   
   At September 25, 1996, the Company employed 310 salaried employees, of 
whom 29 served in corporate and administrative capacities and 254 served as 
restaurant management personnel. In addition, the Company employed 3,195 
persons on an hourly basis. None of the Company's employees is covered by a 
collective bargaining agreement, and the Company has never experienced an 
organized work stoppage, strike or labor dispute. The Company believes its 
relations with its employees are good.

TRADEMARKS, SERVICE MARKS AND TRADE DRESS 

   Roadhouse Grill believes its trademarks, service marks and trade dress are 
important to its marketing efforts. Roadhouse Grill has registered the 
"Roadhouse Grill" service mark, the "Cowboy Jim and rocking chair" design and 
the slogan "Good Food and a Smile . . . That's Roadhouse Style" with the U.S. 
Patent and Trademark Office. The Company also has applied for registration of 
the "Roadhouse Grill" service mark in approximately 30 foreign countries, 
including Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, 
Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, The Philippines, South Africa, Spain, 
Thailand and the United Kingdom. 

LITIGATION 

   The Company is party to certain legal proceedings arising in the ordinary 
course of business. In the opinion of the Company, any resulting liability 
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION 

   During Fiscal 1995, the Company had no Compensation Committee or other 
committee of the Board of Directors performing similar functions. Decisions 
concerning the compensation of executive officers were made by the full Board 
of Directors. In January 1996, the Board of Directors established a 
Compensation Committee. 

   In Fiscal 1995, the Company obtained loans in the aggregate amount of 
approximately $2.5 million from John Y. Brown, Jr. During Fiscal 1995, Mr. 
Brown was the former Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company and 
was a shareholder. In January 1996, these loans were consolidated and

                               33           
<PAGE>
 extended under the Company's unsecured promissory note 
dated January 15, 1996, in the principal amount of $2.5 million, bearing 
interest at 8.5% per annum, the principal of and accrued interest on which 
are due and payable in full upon the closing, and from the proceeds, of the 
Offering. The funds obtained by the Company from such loan were used to 
finance the opening of new restaurants. The loan was initially unsecured but 
in July 1996 was cross-collateralized by the lien granted on the additional 
$1.5 million loan described in the next paragraph. 

   In July 1996, the Company borrowed an additional $1.5 million from Mr. Brown
under the Company's secured promissory note dated July 12, 1996, bearing
interest at 8.5% per annum, the principal of and accrued interest on which were
paid on August 19, 1996 from a portion of the proceeds of the Company's $2.0
million loan from Berjaya described below. The loan, the proceeds of which were
used to finance the opening of new restaurants, was secured by a lien on all of
the furniture, fixtures and equipment located in the Company's restaurants on
July 12, 1996 that had not been previously pledged to a third party. Following
the repayment of this loan, the Company in September 1996 obtained a new loan
from Mr. Brown in the amount of $1.5 million, which was secured by the same
collateral as the July 1996 note and which is evidenced by the Company's
promissory note dated September 5, 1996, bearing interest at 5.0% per annum and
payable in full upon the closing of the Offering. The proceeds of this loan were
used for general corporate purposes, including opening new restaurants.

   In July 1996, the Company borrowed $500,000 from Cupertino, a shareholder of
the Company, under the Company's unsecured promissory note dated July 15, 1996,
bearing interest at 8.5% per annum, the principal of and accrued interest on
which were paid on August 19, 1996. The proceeds of this loan were used to
finance the opening of new restaurants. Dr. Christian F. Horn, the Chairman of
the Board of Directors of the Company, is the Managing Partner of Horn Ventures
Partners II, L.P., which is a General Partner of Cupertino.

   
   In August 1996, the Company borrowed $2.0 million from Berjaya, its principal
shareholder, under an unsecured promissory note dated August 16, 1996, bearing
interest at 8.5% per annum, the principal of and accrued interest on which were
due and payable in full upon the closing of the Offering, but have been extended
and will be due and payable on the first anniversary of the closing of the
Offering. The proceeds of this loan were used to repay the July 1996 $1.5
million loan from Mr. Brown and the $500,000 loan from Cupertino described
above. In September 1996, the Company borrowed $3.0 million from Berjaya, its
principal shareholder, under an unsecured promissory note dated September 27,
1996, bearing interest at 8.5% per annum, the principal of and accrued interest
on which were due and payable in full upon the closing of the Offering, but have
been extended and will be due and payable on the first anniversary of the
closing of the Offering. The proceeds of this loan were used for general
corporate purposes, including opening new restaurants. Tan Kim Poh, a director
of the Company, is Group Executive Director of Berjaya Berhad, which directly or
indirectly owns Berjaya.
    

   Berjaya directly or indirectly owns Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong and 
Roadhouse Grill Asia. In January 1996, the Company entered into a Master 
Development Agreement with Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong which provides for the 
development and franchising of Roadhouse Grill restaurants in Hong Kong. 
Under the agreement, Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong is not required to develop any 
specific number of restaurants in Hong Kong, but any restaurants that it 
develops are credited against the development obligations of Roadhouse Grill

with the opening of each restaurant. In addition, Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong 
is required to pay a royalty in connection with the operation of each of its 
restaurants in the amount of 2.0% Of gross sales for each restaurant's first 
three years of operation and 3.0% thereafter. Under certain circumstances, 
Roadhouse Grill Hong Kong or the Company may grant franchises to third 
parties in Hong Kong. In that event, the Company is entitled to receive 50% 
of any franchise and reservation fees and 50% of any royalty fee payable by 
the third party franchisee, subject to limitations on the amounts payable to 
the Company of $10,000 per restaurant in the case of franchise and 
reservations fees and 2.5% Of gross sales in the case of royalty fees. 

 In January 1996, the Company also entered into a Master Development 
Agreement with Roadhouse Grill Asia, which covers countries in Asia and the

   The Company is authorized to issue 30 million shares of Common Stock, par

$.01 per share. As of October 1, 1996, the Company had issued and outstanding 
4,747,384 shares of Common Stock, 3,422,500 shares of Series A Convertible 
Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock") and 2,333,350 shares of Series B 
Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series B Preferred Stock"). As of September 25, 
1996, the Company had four holders of record of Common Stock, seven holders 
of record of Series A Preferred Stock and six holders of record of Series B 
Preferred Stock, respectively. 

COMMON STOCK 

   The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held 
on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. Cumulative voting in the 
election of directors is not permitted and the holders of a majority of the 
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock are entitled to vote in any 
election of directors and may elect all of the directors standing for 
election. 

   Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if 
any, as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally 
available therefor, subject to any preferential dividend rights of 
outstanding Preferred Stock. Upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of 
the Company, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably the 
net assets of the Company available after the payment of all debts and other 
liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any outstanding Preferred 
Stock. The holders of Common Stock have no preemptive, subscription,

series of such Preferred Stock without shareholder approval. The Board of 
Directors may fix and determine the relative rights, preferences and 
privileges of each class or series of Preferred Stock so issued. Because the 
Board of Directors has the power to establish the preferences and rights of 
each class or series of Preferred Stock, it may afford the holders of any 
series or class of Preferred Stock preferences, powers and rights, with 
respect to voting, liquidation or otherwise, senior to the rights of holders 
of Common Stock. The issuance of Preferred Stock could have the effect of 
delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. The Board of 
Directors has no present plans to issue any shares of Preferred Stock. 

CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF FLORIDA LAW 

   Florida law provides that, unless the corporation has elected to opt out 
of such provisions in its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, a public 
corporation organized under Florida law is subject to certain statutory 
provisions that may have anti-takeover effects and that require special 
approvals for certain "affiliated transactions." These provisions, which are 
contained in the Florida Business Corporation Act, require, subject to 
certain exceptions, that an "affiliated transaction" be approved by the 
holders of two-thirds of the voting shares other than those beneficially 
owned by an "interested shareholder" or by a majority of disinterested 
directors and that voting rights be conferred on "control shares" acquired in 
specified control share acquisitions generally only to the extent conferred 
by 

                               37           
<PAGE>
resolution approved by the shareholders, excluding holders of shares defined 
as "interested shares." The Company has elected to opt out of the 
"control-share" acquisition provisions, but has not elected to opt out of the 
affiliated transactions provisions. In addition, Florida law presently limits 
the personal liability of a corporate director for monetary damages, except 
where the director (i) breaches his or her fiduciary duties and (ii) such 
breach constitutes or includes certain unlawful distributions or certain 
other reckless, wanton or willful acts or misconduct. 

RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL

entitled to certain rights of first refusal with respect to the issuance of 
equity securities of the Company, other than shares issued in connection with 
an underwritten public offering .

Preferred Stock, the Company has granted certain registration rights to 
certain holders of its Issued Preferred Stock and Common Stock. The Company

"Shares Eligible for Future Sale--Registration Rights."

Shares are eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144(k). In addition to the 
foregoing, affiliates of the Company must comply with the restrictions and 
requirements of Rule 144 (other than the holding period requirement) in order 
to sell any Common Stock they own that does not constitute Restricted Shares. 
See "Risk Factors--Shares Eligible for Future Sale." 

   An employee, officer or director of, or consultant to, the Company who 
purchased his or her shares pursuant to a written compensatory plan or 
contract is entitled to rely on the resale provisions of Rule 701 under the 
Securities Act of 1933, which permits non-affiliates to sell their Rule 701 
Shares without having to comply with the public information, holding period, 
volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144 and permits affiliates to 
sell their Rule 701 shares without having to comply with Rule 144's holding 
period requirements, in each cash commencing 90 days after the date of this 
Prospectus. 

   The Company, its officers and directors and shareholders have agreed that 
they will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, 
directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the 
Company that are substantially similar to the shares, including but not 
limited to any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or 
that represent the right to receive, shares of Common Stock or any such 
substantially similar securities, for a period of 180 days after the date of 
this Prospectus without the prior written consent of the Representatives, 
except that the Company may issue shares pursuant to the over-allotment 
option. 

   Prior to the Offering, there has been no market for the Common Stock, and 
there can be no assurance that an active public market will develop or 
continue after the Offering. Sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock in 
the public market, or the perception that sales may occur, could adversely 
affect the prevailing market price of the Common Stock or the ability of the 
Company to raise capital through a public offering of its equity securities. 
See "Risk Factors--Absence of Public Market; Price Volatility." 

REGISTRATION RIGHTS 

   Pursuant to certain registration rights agreements, the holders of the 
Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock have certain demand 
registration rights with respect to the 1,918,612 shares of Common Stock 
issuable upon conversion of such Series A and B Preferred Stock and certain 
holders of Common Stock have certain demand registration rights with respect 
to 4,605,718 shares of Common Stock (collectively, the "Subject Shares"). The 
demand registration rights, which require the Company to use its best efforts 
to effect the registration of the Subject Shares under the Securities Acts 
may be exercised by the holders of at least 50% of the Subject Shares after 
February 10, 1997, subject to limited exceptions. The Company is obligated to 
register Subject Shares pursuant to this demand registration right on two 
occasions only; provided, however, that the Company's obligation is deemed 
satisfied only when a registration statement covering at least 75% of the 
Subject Shares has become effective and, if the shares are to be sold in a 
firm commitment underwritten public offering, all of such shares have been 
sold pursuant to such offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of 
Subject Shares have unlimited demand registration rights to the extent the 
Company may register Subject Shares on Form S-3 or any successor thereto, 
provided that the reasonably anticipated aggregate price to the public of the 
offering would exceed $500,000. The Company also is obligated to offer the 
holders of Subject Shares the right to register their shares pursuant to 
certain registration statements filed by the Company. 

   The Company has agreed to indemnify the holders of the Subject Shares for 
certain liabilities under applicable state and federal securities laws in 
connection with any offering pursuant to the 

                               39           
<PAGE>
exercise of registration rights. The Company will not indemnify the holders 
of Subject Shares for any liabilities resulting from information furnished in 
writing by such holders. Except in certain limited circumstances, the Company 
is obligated to pay all expenses incidental to a demand registration, 
excluding underwriters' discounts and commissions. 

REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING TO 1994 STOCK OPTION PLAN 


   
   The Company has reserved 216,666 shares of Common Stock for issuance under 
the 1994 Stock Option Plan, and options for an aggregate of 181,074 shares of 
Common Stock are currently outstanding thereunder. The Company intends to 
file a registration statement under the Securities Act, covering the shares 
of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 1994 Stock Option Plan. Such 
registration statement is expected to be filed soon after the date of this 
Prospectus and will automatically become effective upon filing. Accordingly, 
shares registered under such registration statement will be available for 
sale in the open market, unless such shares are subject to vesting 
restrictions with the Company or the contractual restrictions described 
above. See "Management--1994 Stock Option Plan."

                                 UNDERWRITING 

   The Company has entered into a Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase 
Agreement") with the underwriters listed in the table below (the 
"Underwriters"), for whom Piper Jaffray Inc. and Robertson, Stephens & 
Company LLC are acting as representatives (the "Representatives"). Subject to 
the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Company has 
agreed to sell to the Underwriters, and each of the Underwriters has 
severally agreed to purchase, the number of shares of Common Stock set forth 
opposite each Underwriter's name in the table below. 

                                                    NUMBER

Robertson, Stephens & Company LLC...............

  Total ........................................  2,000,000 
                                                  =========    
    

   Subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the
Underwriters have agreed to purchase all of the Common Stock being sold pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement, if any is purchased (excluding shares covered by the
over-allotment option granted therein). In the event of a default by any
Underwriter, the Purchase Agreement provides that, in certain circumstances,
purchase commitments of the nondefaulting Underwriters may be increased or the
Purchase Agreement may be terminated.

   
   The Representatives have advised the Company that the Underwriters propose to
offer the Common Stock directly to the public initially at the public offering
price set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus and to certain dealers at
such price less a concession of not more than $ per share. Additionally, the
Underwriters may allow, and such dealers may reallow, a concession not in excess
of $___ per share to certain other dealers. After the Offering, the public
offering price and other selling terms may be changed by the Underwriters.

   Of the 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock offered hereby by the Company, up to
800,000 of such shares will be reserved for sale to persons designated by the
Company. There can be no assurance that such shares will be purchased by these
persons. Shares not so purchased will be reoffered immediately by the
Underwriters to the public at the initial public offering price.

   The Company has granted to the Underwriters an option, exercisable by the
Representatives within 30 days after the date of the Purchase Agreement, to
purchase up to an additional 300,000 shares of Common Stock at the same price
per share to be paid by the Underwriters for the other shares offered hereby. If
the Underwriters purchase any of such additional shares pursuant to this option,
each Underwriter will be committed to purchase such additional shares in
approximately the same proportion as set forth in the table above. The
Underwriters may exercise the option only for the purpose of covering
over-allotments, if any, made in connection with the distribution of the Common
Stock offered hereby.
    

   The Representatives have informed the Company that neither they, nor any
member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD")
participating in the distribution of the Offering, will make sales of the Common
Stock offered hereby to accounts over which they exercise discretionary
authority without the prior specific written approval of the customer.

   The Offering of the shares of Common Stock is made for delivery when, as and
if accepted by the Underwriters and subject to prior sale and to withdrawal,
cancellation or modification of the Offering without notice. The Underwriters
reserve the right to reject an order for the purchase of shares in whole or in
part.

                                       41
<PAGE>

   The officers, directors and shareholders of the Company who will beneficially
own in the aggregate 6,665,996 shares of Common Stock after the Offering, have
agreed that they will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise
dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or other
securities of the Company that are substantially similar to the shares,
including but not limited to any securities that are convertible into or
exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, shares of Common Stock
or any such substantially similar securities, owned by them prior to the date of
the Prospectus for a period of 180 days after the date of this Prospectus,
without the prior written consent of Piper Jaffray Inc. The Company has agreed
that it will not, without the Representatives' prior written consent, offer,
sell, contract to sell, pledge, or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common
Stock, options or warrants to acquire shares of Common Stock or securities
exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock during the 180-day
period following the date of this Prospectus, except that the Company may issue
shares upon the exercise of options and warrants granted prior to the date
hereof, and may grant additional options under the 1994 Stock Option Plan.

   Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Common Stock.
The initial public offering price for the Common Stock offered hereby has been
determined by negotiation among the Company and the Representatives. Among the
factors considered in determining the initial public offering price were
prevailing market and economic conditions, the Company's revenue and earnings,
estimates of the business potential and prospects of the Company, the present
state of the Company's business operations, an assessment of the Company's
management and the consideration of the above factors in relation to the market
valuations of companies in similar businesses. The initial public offering price
for the Common Stock should not be considered an indication of the actual value
of the Common Stock offered hereby. In addition, there can be no assurance that
the Common Stock can be resold at a price equal to or greater than the initial
public offering price. See "Risk Factors--Absence of Public Market; Price
Volatility."

   The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters and their controlling
persons against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act, or to contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required to make in
respect thereof.

                                LEGAL MATTERS 


   
   The validity of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby will be passed upon
for the Company by Ruden, McClosky, Smith, Schuster & Russell, P.A., Fort
Lauderdale, Florida. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the Company
by Locke Purnell Rain Harrell (A Professional Corporation), Dallas, Texas and by
Charles D. Barnett, Esq., Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Certain legal matters in
connection with the Offering will be passed upon for the Underwriters by King &
Spalding, Atlanta, Georgia. Locke Purnell Rain Harrell (A Professional
Corporation) and King & Spalding will rely on Ruden, McClosky, Smith, Schuster &
Russell, P.A. with respect to certain matters of Florida law.

          JANUARY 2, 1994, JANUARY 1, 1995 AND DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 
                        SEPTEMBER 29, 1996 (UNAUDITED) 

(1)  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

(A) BUSINESS 

   Roadhouse Grill, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of 
the state of Florida in 1992. The principal business of the Company is the 
operation of specialty restaurants located primarily in the state of Florida. 
The Company has also granted franchises and licenses to operate restaurants 
under the "Roadhouse Grill" name. 

   At December 31, 1995, there were 18 company-owned restaurants open. There 
were two restaurants operating under franchise agreements and one restaurant 
operating under a license agreement. In addition, at December 31, 1995, the 
Company had a 50 percent interest in Kendall Roadhouse Grill, L.C., a limited 
liability company that owns the Kendall, Florida Roadhouse Grill restaurant 
("Kendall"). The Company manages the operations of the Kendall restaurant 
pursuant to an operating agreement. Under the operating agreement, the 
Company receives management fees and is allocated its share of the 
restaurant's profit and losses. The Company previously had a 50 percent 
interest in North Miami Roadhouse Grill, L.C., a limited liability company 
that owned the North Miami Roadhouse Grill restaurant ("North Miami"), under 
a similar arrangement. The remaining interest was acquired by the Company in 
the first quarter of 1995. 

(B) INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE 

   The Company's 50 percent interest in Kendall is accounted for under the 
equity method. In addition, the Company's 50 percent interest in North Miami 
was accounted for under the equity method until the Company acquired a 100% 
interest in that restaurant, which occurred in the first quarter of 1995. 

(C) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT 

   Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. 
The cost of restaurants held under capital leases is recorded at the lower of 
the net present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the 
leased property at the inception of the lease. Repairs and maintenance are 
charged to expense as incurred. Major renewals and betterments which 
substantially extend the useful life of the property are capitalized and 
depreciated over the useful life of the asset. When assets are retired or 
otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from 
their respective accounts and any gain or loss is recognized. 

   Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the 
estimated useful lives of the assets. Amortization of capitalized lease 
assets is calculated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the 
estimated useful life of the leased asset or the lease term. 

(D) INTANGIBLES 

   Intangibles consist primarily of goodwill recorded as a result of a 
restaurant acquisition during 1995 (see Note 14) and is being amortized on a 
straight-line basis over 17 years, which is the lease term of the respective 
restaurant property. The Company evaluates whether changes have occurred that 
would

(1)  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING 
     POLICIES-(CONTINUED) 

require revision of the remaining estimated useful life of the assigned 
goodwill or rendered goodwill not recoverable. If such circumstances arise, 
the Company uses undiscounted future cash flows to determine whether the 
goodwill is recoverable. In 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standard No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived 
Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," (see Note 1m). 

(E) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS 

   The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity 
of three months or less to be cash equivalents. 

(F) INVENTORY 

   Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (based on first-in, first-out 
inventory costing) or net realizable value and consist primarily of 
restaurant food items, beverages and paper supplies. 

(G) INCOME TAXES 

   Prior to January 1994, the Company had elected to be treated as a S 
Corporation under the appropriate sections of the Internal Revenue Code and, 
accordingly, was not subject to federal and state income taxes. Instead, the 
Company's taxable income or loss and available credits were the 
responsibility of the Company's shareholders. 

   Effective January 1994, the Company terminated its S Corporation status 
and consequently, became subject to federal and state income taxes. Upon 
termination of the Company's S Corporation status, the Company adopted 
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109, "Accounting for 
Income Taxes," which requires the utilization of the liability method of 
accounting for deferred income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax 
assets and liabilities are recorded based on the difference between the 
financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using tax rates 
in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. 

(H) PRE-OPENING COSTS 

   Pre-opening costs are costs incurred in the opening of new stores 
(primarily payroll costs) which are capitalized and amortized over a one-year
period commencing with the first period after the new restaurant opens. 

   Deferred costs related to sites subsequently determined to be 
unsatisfactory, and general site selection costs which cannot be identified 
with a specific restaurant, are charged to operations. 

(I) FISCAL YEAR 

   The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest December 31. 

(J) USE OF ESTIMATES 

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and 

                                      F-10

     POLICIES-(CONTINUED) 

liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date 
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses 
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those 
estimates. 

(K) DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 

   The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined 
based on available information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The 
carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued 
expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of the accounts. 
The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on market rates of 
interest currently available to the Company. The fair value of long-term debt 
at December 31, 1995 is approximately $6,240,000. 

   The fair value of long-term debt approximates carrying value at January 1, 
1995. 

(L) REVENUE RECOGNITION 

   Total revenues include sales at Company-operated restaurants, royalties
received from restaurants operating under franchise and license agreements, and
fees earned under management agreements. Revenue earned from the game rooms and
vending machines in the restaurants is included in other income.


(M) NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS 

   In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued 
Statement of Financial Accounting No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of 
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" (SFAS No. 
121), which becomes effective for financial statements for fiscal years 
beginning after December 15, 1995. The statement establishes accounting 
standards for the impairment of long-lived assets, certain identifiable 
intangible assets and goodwill related to those assets to be held and used, 
and for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets to be 
disposed of. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 121 and as of January 1, 1996 
and September 29, 1996, there is no material impact to the financial position 
or results of operations of the Company. 

   In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting 
Standard No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS No. 123), 
which becomes effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning 
after December 15, 1995. SFAS No. 123 defines a fair value based method of 
accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument and 
encourages all entities to adopt that method of accounting for all of their 
employee stock compensation plans. However, it also allows an entity to 
continue to measure compensation cost for those plans using the intrinsic 
value based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board 
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25). The 
Company is currently accounting for stock-based compensation under APB 25 and 
has opted to continue accounting for stock-based compensation under this 
method. 

(N) NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE AND PRO FORMA NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE 

   Net loss per common share for all periods is based on the weighted average 
number of common shares outstanding plus all common shares, stock options and 
warrants issued within one year prior to the initial filing date of the 
registration statement for the anticipated initial public offering. Common 
stock equivalents prior to such period are included in the determination of 
loss per share only where such inclusion is dilutive. 

   Pro forma net loss per common share includes the conversion of all 
outstanding preferred shares into common shares in connection with the 
initial public offering (unaudited). 

   On October 9, 1996, the Board of Directors declared a one-for-three 
reverse stock split (see Note 9). All per share data appearing in the 
financial statements have been retroactively adjusted for the reverse split. 

(0) ADVERTISING COSTS 

   During 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Position 93-7, "Reporting on 
Advertising Costs" (SOP 93-7). The adoption of SOP 93-7 did not have a 
material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. 
The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising

the reverse stock split and par value change. 

   Preferred stock consists of the following:

declared dividends and are convertible, subject to adjustments, into one 
share of common stock per Series A Share, at the option of the holder. 
Dividends are payable at $0.105 per share as adjusted, and when and if 
declared. Such dividends are noncumulative. The holders of the Series A 
Shares are entitled to one vote for each share held on an as converted basis 
and as adjusted. Series A Shares are mandatorily convertible into common 
shares upon an initial public offering of $10,000,000 or greater.

(10) STOCK OPTION PLANS-(CONTINUED)

options were issued to the Chief Executive Officer at $2.50 per share 
during the fiscal year ended January 1, 1995. These options are exercisable 
at any time prior to January 31, 2010. During the fiscal year ending December 
31, 1995, certain of these options were exercised whereby 355,555 shares of 
common stock were purchased at $0.15 per share. 

   A stock option plan was adopted for employees of the Company and members of
the board of directors who are not employees, and 250,000 and 650,000 shares of
the Company's common stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to such plan at
December 31, 1995 and September 29, 1996, respectively. These options are
exercisable for a period of ten years after grant. On April 25, 1994, options
were issued to a consultant of the Company to purchase 10,000 shares of common
stock at a purchase price of $1.50 per share. During the fiscal year ending
December 31, 1995, the Company granted options to employees under the stock
option plan to purchase 158,000 shares of common stock at $2.50 per share. In
addition, the Company granted options to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock
to certain directors of the Company at a price of $2.50 per share. The fair
market value of common stock at the time of the issuance of these options, as
determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, was $3.10 per share. In
connection with the granting of these options, the Company recorded $39,600 and
$29,700 in compensation expense for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 and
the 39 week period ended September 29, 1996, respectively. In 1996, the Company
granted additional options to purchase 355,300 shares of common stock at a price
of $3.60 per share. At December 31, 1995 and September 29, 1996, deferred
compensation expense amounted to $79,200 and $49,500, respectively, and is
included in additional paid-in capital.

   As discussed in note 9, the Board of Directors declared a one-for-three 
reverse stock split in October 1996. Concurrent with the reverse split, the 
number of shares issuable upon the exercise of each outstanding option will 
be adjusted for the one-for-three reverse split and the exercise price of 
each outstanding option will be adjusted such that the total amount paid upon 
exercise of the option in full will not change. 

(11) INCOME TAXES 

   The Company adopted SFAS No. 109, effective January 3, 1994, the date it 
converted from an S Corporation to a C corporation. The effect of adopting 
SFAS No. 109 was not significant. 

   As a result of the Company's net operating losses for fiscal years ended 
January 1, 1995 and December 31, 1995, there is no income tax payable.

</TABLE>

   At January 1, 1995 and December 31, 1995, the Company had no deferred tax 
assets or liabilities reflected on its financial statements since the net 
deferred tax assets are completely offset by a valuation allowance. In 
assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers 
whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred 
tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax 
assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the 
periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management 
considers the level of historical income, scheduled reversal of deferred tax 
liabilities, and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. 

   At December 31, 1995, the Company has a net operating loss carryforward of 
$5,945,000 consisting of $2,515,000 and $3,430,000 expiring in varying 
amounts through 2010 and 2011, respectively. 

(12) CONCENTRATIONS OF BUSINESS AND CREDIT RISK 

   Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to 
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash in bank and 
investment custodian accounts. At times, the Company maintains cash balances 
in excess of insured limits. The custodian of the investment account is a 
major financial institution. 

   Approximately 82 percent of the restaurants currently owned and operated 
by the Company are located in the state of Florida. Consequently, the 
operations of the Company are affected by fluctuations in the Florida 
economy. Furthermore, the Company may be affected by changing conditions 
within the foodservice industry. 

(13) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES 

   The Company is a party to legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course 
of business, many of which are covered by insurance. In the opinion of 
management, disposition of these matters will not materially affect the 
Company's financial condition.

           JANUARY 2, 1994, JANUARY 1, 1995 AND DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND
                         SEPTEMBER 29, 1996 (UNAUDITED)

(13) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES-(CONTINUED)

   At September 29, 1996, the Company had 13 restaurants under development. 
The estimated cost to complete these restaurants and other capital projects 
in process was approximately $9.6 million at September 29, 1996. 

(14) ACQUISITIONS 

   At January 1, 1995, the Company was a 50 percent owner in North Miami 
Roadhouse Grill, L.C. ("NMRG"), which owned the North Miami, Florida 
Roadhouse Grill restaurant. In January 1995, the Company acquired the 
remaining 50 percent interest in NMRG for $800,000. The transaction was 
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price was 
allocated based on the fair value of the assets acquired at the time of 
acquisition. Approximately $797,000 was allocated to property and equipment 
and approximately $65,000 was allocated to inventory and other assets. In 
connection with the acquisition, the Company also assumed certain liabilities 
in the amount of $385,000. 

   During March 1995, the Company acquired two Roadhouse Grill restaurants 
from a franchisee for $2.2 million. The transaction was accounted for using 
the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price of the restaurants was 
allocated to property and equipment based on the estimated fair value of the 
assets at the date of acquisition. Approximately $1,555,000 was allocated to 
property and equipment as a result of the acquisition. The acquisition 
generated goodwill of approximately $645,000. 

   The Company's proforma revenue, net loss, and net loss per share as if the 
above acquisitions had taken place at the beginning of fiscal 1994 are as 
follows (unaudited): 

Revenue                    $21,411,270 
Net loss                   $(1,759,769) 
Net loss per common share  $     (0.81) 

   The proforma information includes adjustments for amortization of 
intangibles arising from the transactions. Such proforma amounts are not 
necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations might have 
been if the acquisitions had been effective at the beginning of fiscal 1994. 

   In August 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase the 
remaining 50 percent interest in the Kendall Roadhouse Grill, L.C. from the 
joint venture partner for a purchase price of $2,300,000. If an initial 
public offering is not completed by the Company by December 31, 1996, either 
party may terminate the agreement without any further rights or obligations.

INSIDE BACK COVER

The inside back cover contains:

     1.   A map indicating the location of the Company-owned restaurants and 
          whether they are existing or under construction.

     2.   A letter from Cowboy Jim, the Company's spokesperson, that reads:

                                  HOWDY FOLKS!

          My name is COWBOY JIM /registered mark/ and I'm gonna' tell you a
          little story 'bout how the south was won...Won over to the finest
          steaks, chicken, burgers, ribs and seafood ever served up in these
          here parts. Of course, the Roadhouse Grill didn't just spring up
          overnight...it took a lot of good friendly hardworking folks to make
          up the "house" we call home.

          "Southern hospitality with a smile, there's just no substitute!"
          That's what my grandaddy used to say.

          So, here at the Roadhouse Grill that's exactly what we believe and if
          you don't see it, hear it, and feel it, then jump up and say so!
          'Cause we pride ourselves on being different.

          Some of our neighbors near and far have tried to move in on our
          territory, but we both know there's nothing like coming home and
          there's nobody like the "original" Roadhouse Grill. A lot of folks
          think we're pretty special 'round here and you know what? We are
          'cause you make us that way!

          So hitch up your family and head down the trail (just follow the
          peanut shells) 'cause we're settlin' in all over southeast... and
          movin' into the rest of the country too! The Roadhouse Grill...it's
          an old fashioned road house built for good food and friendly folks!


                                        /s/ Cowboy Jim

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. 

   Section 607.0850 of the Florida Business Corporation Act permits, and, in 
certain cases, requires, a corporation to indemnify certain persons, 
including officers and directors and former officers and directors, and to 
purchase insurance with respect to liability arising out of their capacity or 
status as officers and directors. Such law provides further that the 
indemnification permitted thereunder will not be deemed exclusive of any 
other rights to which officers and directors may be entitled under the 
corporation's articles of incorporation, bylaws, any agreement or otherwise. 
In addition, Section 607.0831 of the Florida Business Corporation Act 
presently limits the personal liability of a director for monetary damages, 
except where the director (i) breaches his or her fiduciary duties and (ii) 
such breach constitutes or includes certain unlawful distributions or certain 
other reckless, wanton or willful acts or misconduct. 

   Paragraph 10 of the Company's Articles of Incorporation and Article IX of 
the Company's Bylaws provide that the Company, to the fullest extent 
permitted by the Florida Business Corporation Act, shall indemnify any person 
made, or threatened to be made, a party to any action or suit because he or 
she was or is a director or officer of the Company or was serving at the 
request of the Company as a director or officer of another corporation. 
Paragraph 10 of the Company's Articles of Incorporation and Article IX of the 
Company's Bylaws, which will be filed as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, 
to this Registration Statement, will be incorporated herein by reference. 

   The Company intends to maintain liability insurance for the benefit of its 
directors and officers.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS. 

   The undersigned Company hereby undertakes to provide the representative of 
the Underwriters at the closing specified in the Underwriting Agreement 
certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required 
by the Underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser. 

   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities 
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons 
of the Company, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the 
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public 
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. 
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other 
than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, 
officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any 
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by any director, officer or 
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the 
Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been 
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate 
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against 
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the 
final adjudication of such issue. 

   The Company hereby undertakes that: 

   (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 
the information omitted from the form of Prospectus filed as part of this 
Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of 
prospectus filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) 
under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration 
Statement as of the time it was declared effective. 

   (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 
each post-effective amendment that contains a form of Prospectus shall be 
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered 
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to 
be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

        Re: Registration Statement on Form S-1
            (No. 333-12751)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as special local counsel for Roadhouse Grill, Inc., a Florida
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), of an aggregate of 2,875,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the
"Securities"). We have examined such documents and questions of law as we have
deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion.

     Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Securities, when
issued and delivered against payment of the purchase price therefor as described
in the above-referenced Registration Statement (as amended, the "Registration
Statement"), will be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

     The opinion expressed above is limited in all respects to the laws of the
State of Florida in effect as of the date hereof.

     We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and to the reference to our firm in the prospectus contained therein
under the caption "Legal Matters." In giving this consent, we do not hereby
admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required
under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder.


                                           Respectfully submitted,

                                           RUDEN, McCLOSKY, SMITH, 
                                           SCHUSTER & RUSSELL, P.A.

                          AMENDED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT


         THIS AMENDED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made and entered
into as of the 24th day of October, 1996, by and between ROADHOUSE GRILL, INC.,
a Florida corporation (the "Company"), and JOHN DAVID TOOLE, III ("Executive").

                                   BACKGROUND

         Executive is employed by the Company as its President pursuant to that
certain Employment Agreement dated as of October 1, 1994 ("Old Agreement"),
which the Company and Executive desire to amend and supersede as hereinafter
provided.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as
follows:

         1. EMPLOYMENT. Effective as of the date hereof, the Old Agreement is
hereby amended and superseded in its entirety by this Agreement, and, as of such
date, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Company hereby
continues Executive's employment as its President and Executive hereby accepts
such employment.

         2.       TERM.  The term ("Term") of Executive's employment hereunder 
shall commence on the date hereof and shall end at 5:00 p.m. on October 23,
1999, or such earlier date upon which such employment is terminated in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

         3. DUTIES AND SERVICES. Executive agrees to serve the Company as its
President for the duration of the Term faithfully and diligently under the
direction of the Board Directors of the Company, and to perform such duties as
are customarily associated with such position and such additional executive
duties as the Board of Directors of the Company shall reasonably request,
PROVIDED that such duties shall be consistent with those normally required of
presidents of comparable companies. Executive shall be required to devote his
best efforts, attention, knowledge and skill to the performance of his duties
hereunder. Executive shall at all times perform his duties hereunder in a
professional manner, in good faith, and in the best interest of the Company.
Executive shall devote substantially his full business time and efforts to the
performance of his duties hereunder. Executive shall be entitled to actively
pursue investment opportunities ("Investment Opportunities") during the Term, so
long as such activity does not materially interfere with the performance of
Executive's duties under this Section 3 and provided such pursuits do not
violate Section 8 hereof. If such Investment Opportunity materially interferes
with Executive's duties under this Section 3, Company may terminate Executive's
employment for Cause and pursuant to Section 5 hereof. No Investment Opportunity
shall be deemed to be a "business opportunity" of the Company and the Company
will have no legal or beneficial right, claim or interest in any Investment
Opportunity except as Executive may otherwise agree in writing, even if the
Investment Opportunity was conceived or developed during Executive's employment
with the Company, nor shall Executive have any fiduciary or other duty to
disclose or offer to Company any such Investment Opportunity.

         4.       COMPENSATION.  In exchange for the services to be rendered 
hereunder by Executive, the Company hereby agrees to compensate Executive with
the following ("Compensation"):

                  A.       SALARY.  The Company agrees to pay Executive a 
salary ("Salary") at the rate of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) per
annum, payable in accordance with the Company's usual payroll practices, but not
less often than bi-weekly.

                  B.       BONUS.  In addition to Salary, Executive shall be 
entitled to receive "Bonuses" determined and payable in accordance with the
following:

                           (1)      Executive shall be entitled to a Bonus in 
the amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), payable within ninety
(90) days after the Company's 1996 fiscal year, if Net Income (as hereinafter
defined) for such fiscal year exceeded the Net Income for the immediately
preceding fiscal year or if the net loss as reported by the Company for such
fiscal year is less than the net loss for the immediately preceding fiscal year.
Thereafter, Executive shall be entitled to a Bonus in the amount of One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000), payable within ninety (90) days after each
subsequent fiscal year of the Company ending during Executive's employment
hereunder, if the Company has Net Income and such Net Income for such fiscal
year exceeded the Net Income for the immediately preceding fiscal year.

                           (2)      Executive shall also be entitled to a 
Bonus, without reduction or discount, of One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000), payable within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year
begun but not concluded prior to the expiration or termination of Executive's
employment hereunder (regardless of the reason therefor), if Net Income for the
portion of the fiscal year during which the Executive was employed hereunder
("Employment Period") exceeds Net Income for the same period of the immediately
preceding fiscal year, unless, Executive's employment was terminated by the
Company pursuant to Section 5.A.(1) hereof or by Executive unilaterally other
than in accordance with Section 6 hereof during such fiscal year, or such
termination was a Wrongful Termination (in which event Bonus shall be paid as
set forth in Section 5).

                           (3)      In the event that any fiscal year beginning
or ending during the Term hereof is less than three hundred sixty five (365)
days in duration ("Short Year").

                                    (a)     For purposes of determining whether
Net Income in the Short Year was exceeded by the Net Income in the subsequent
fiscal year, Net Income for such fiscal year shall be deemed to be the amount of
the Net Income for the twelve (12) month period ending on the last day of the
Short Year; and

                                    (b)     For purposes of determining whether
Net Income for the Short Year exceeded the preceding fiscal year, Net Income for
the Short Year shall be deemed to exceed the Net Income for the preceding year
if it exceeded Net Income for the same period of the preceding fiscal year,
unless Executive's employment hereunder terminated during the Short Year (in
which

                                                         2

<PAGE>



event Section 4.B.(2) shall apply), and if Net Income for the Short Year exceeds
the Net Income for the immediately preceding year (as so determined), Executive
shall be entitled to a Bonus of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000)
multiplied by the percentage of a full three hundred sixty five (365) day year
that the Short Year represents.

                           (4)      For purposes of this Agreement, "Net 
Income" for any period shall be net income before taxes determined in accordance
with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles based upon the Company's audited
financial statements for such period.

         C.       OTHER COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS.

                  (1) The Company shall provide Executive throughout the Term
with health insurance and dental insurance for Executive, his spouse and
children, and all other employee benefits made available to executives of the
Company including any pension, profit-sharing, bonus, or stock option plan,
life, health, medical, dental, hospitalization or surgical insurance plan or
policy, and any vacation or fringe benefit plans or programs, whether now
existing or hereafter established (collectively, "Executive Benefits").

                  (2) Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by
Executive of, or to diminish or modify, any vested rights which Executive may
have or may hereafter acquire under any employee benefit plan of the Company.
Without limiting the foregoing, Executive shall be entitled to stock options as
provided in the Stock Option Agreements attached as composite Exhibit A.

                  (3) It is contemplated that, in connection with his employment
hereunder, Executive will incur business, entertainment and travel expenses. The
Company agrees to reimburse Executive in full for all reasonable, ordinary and
necessary business, entertainment and other related expenses, including travel
expenses, incurred or expended by him incident to the performance of his duties
hereunder, and incurred or expended in accordance with the Company's policies
with respect to such expenses, upon submission by Executive to the Company of
such vouchers or expense statements satisfactorily evidencing such expenses as
may be reasonably required by the Company.

                  (4) Executive shall be entitled to at least four (4) weeks of
paid vacation (taken consecutively or in segments) each year during the Term.
Vacation time that is not used in a year will not be carried over to any
subsequent year.

         5.       TERMINATION OF EXECUTIVE'S EMPLOYMENT.

                  A. TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company shall have the
right to terminate Executive's employment under this Agreement prior to the
expiration of the Term only for Cause (as hereinafter defined) or upon
Executive's death or Permanent Disability.

                           (1)      "Cause" for the Company to terminate 
Executive's employment shall exist only if any of the following occur subsequent
to the date hereof.


                                                         3

<PAGE>



                                    (a)     Executive, other than as a result 
of death or any mental or physical, temporary or permanent incapacity or
disability, shall have failed to perform his material duties hereunder;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall first have notified Executive in
writing and in reasonable detail as to the manner in which Executive has so
failed to perform his duties hereunder, and Executive shall have failed to cure
such nonperformance within thirty (30) days thereafter or, if cure cannot
reasonably be completed within such period, Executive shall have failed to
commence cure during such period and to thereafter diligently pursue such cure
to completion;

                                    (b)     Executive shall have unlawfully 
sexually harassed employees;

                                    (c)     Executive shall have been convicted
of any felony or found guilty of fraud; or

                                    (d)     Executive shall have engaged in 
illegal drug use.

                           (2)      Executive shall be deemed to have a 
"Permanent Disability" if Executive is not able to perform his essential duties
hereunder, notwithstanding reasonable accommodation by Company, for a period of
three (3) consecutive months or in excess of one hundred eighty (180) days in
any one (1) year period, as a result of an illness or other physical or mental
disability.

                           (3)      In the event the Company elects to 
terminate Executive's employment pursuant to this Section 5, the Company shall
give written notice to such effect to Executive, which notice shall describe in
reasonable detail the basis for such termination, and Executive's employment
under this Agreement shall thereupon terminate as of the date said notice is
given.

                           (4)      Any termination of Executive's employment 
by the Company other than in strict accordance with this Section 5 shall be
deemed a material breach of this Agreement by the Company and a "Wrongful
Termination" of Executive's employment hereunder. The Company recognizes that,
in the event of a Wrongful Termination of Executive, Executive will be subject
to loss and damage, the monetary value of which will not be readily
ascertainable, and that there exists only a limited number of employment
opportunities comparable to the position held by Executive with the Company.
Therefore, in the event of a Wrongful Termination, Executive shall not be
required, either in mitigation of damages by the terms of this Agreement or
otherwise, to seek or accept other employment and the Company shall pay to
Executive, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty (in addition to the
compensation to which Executive is entitled through the date of such termination
and any benefits in which Executive has a vested right under the terms and
conditions of the plan or program pursuant to which such benefits were granted)
all of the following:

                                    (a)     continuation of Executive's Salary
until October 23, 1999, payable not less often than bi-weekly;

                                    (b)     continuation of all the Executive 
Benefits until October 23, 1996; and


                                                         4

<PAGE>



                                    (c)     a Bonus of One Hundred Thousand 
Dollars ($100,000) for the fiscal year in which termination occurred and Bonuses
of (i) One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) for each subsequent fiscal year
that ends prior to October 23, 1999, payable within ninety (90) days after the
end of such fiscal year and (ii) for the fiscal year (if any) that begins
subsequent to the date of the termination of Executive's employment hereunder
but ends after October 23, 1999, a Bonus in an amount equal to One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000) multiplied by the percentage of a full three hundred
sixty five (365) day year that the period between the commencement of such
fiscal year and the end of the Term represents, payable within ninety (90) days
after the end of such fiscal year.

         If Executive terminates his employment hereunder for Cause as defined
in Section 6 hereof, such termination shall be deemed to constitute a Wrongful
Termination of Executive for purposes of this Section 5.

         6. TERMINATION OF EXECUTIVE'S EMPLOYMENT BY EXECUTIVE. Executive may
terminate his employment hereunder for "Cause" (which, as it pertains to
termination by Executive, is defined below) or upon his death or Permanent
Disability. For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" for Executive's termination
of his employment hereunder shall exist only if any of the following have
occurred:

                  A. the Company shall have failed to pay any amount due
Executive hereunder within ten (10) days of written notice thereof by Executive,
or failed to cure a breach of any of its material obligations under this
Agreement within thirty (30) days of written notice thereof by Executive; or

                  B.       Executive is assigned duties inconsistent with his 
position, or the Company withdraws any of his material responsibilities.

         7. DEDUCTIONS AND WITHHOLDING. Executive agrees that the Company shall
have the right to withhold from any and all payments required to be made to
Executive pursuant to this Agreement all federal, state, local and/or other
taxes which are required to be withheld in accordance with applicable law.
Except for such withholding, the Company shall not have the right to offset any
amount from the Compensation or other amounts payable to Executive hereunder.

         8.       CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND NONCOMPETITION COVENANT

                  A.       CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.  Executive hereby 
acknowledges that in and as of a result of his employment hereunder, he will be
making use of, acquiring and/or adding to confidential information of a special
and unique nature and value relating to certain Company records, secrets,
documentation, ledgers and general Company information, account receivable and
payable ledgers, customer lists, prospective franchisees and franchisee lists,
financial and other records of the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates,
franchisees and other similar matters (all such information, being hereinafter
referred to as "Confidential Information"), and the Executive further
acknowledges that the Confidential Information is of great value to the Company.
The parties recognize that the duties and services to be performed by the
Executive are special and unique and

                                                         5

<PAGE>



that, by reason of his employment hereunder, the Executive will acquire the
Confidential Information. Executive hereby agrees that he will not, at any time,
directly or indirectly, except in connection with Executive's employment
hereunder or as otherwise authorized by the Company's Board of Directors for the
benefit of the Company, divulge to any person, firm or corporation other than
the Company (hereinafter referred to as "Third Parties"), or use or cause to
authorize any Third Parties to use, the Confidential Information or any other
information relating to the business or interests of the Company which he knows
or should know is regarded as Confidential and valuable by the Company, except
as required by law or in any legal action arising from this Agreement, and
except for information that is or becomes publicly known other than through a
breach of this Agreement. Executive agrees that upon expiration of his
employment by the Company for any reason, he shall forthwith deliver or cause to
be delivered to the Company any and all Confidential Information, including
drawings, notebooks, keys, data and other documents and materials belonging to
the Company, which is in his possession or under his control relating to the
Company or its business, and will deliver upon such expiration of employment any
other property of the Company which is in this possession or under his control.

                  B. AGREEMENT NOT TO COMPETE. Executive hereby agrees, to the
extent permitted by law, that during Executive's employment hereunder and the
three (3) year period subsequent to the date of termination of his employment
with the Company hereunder, the Employee shall not either directly or
indirectly, as a proprietor, partner, investor, shareholder, employee, agent or
consultant:

                           (1)      engage in the operation of any restaurant
(other than the Company's restaurants) that has both of the following
characteristics: (i) it usually derives or expects to derive over forty percent
(40%) of its gross revenues from the sale of steak; and also (ii) the average
dinner bill per person at the restaurant is less than Twenty Dollars ($20.00).
Nothing herein shall prevent the Executive from owning for investment purposes,
up to an aggregate of five percent (5%) of the capital stock of any such
business, provided that such business is a publicly held corporation, whose
stock is listed and traded on national or regional stock exchange, or through
the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System
(NASDAQ), provided that Executive does not control any such company; or

                           (2)      directly or indirectly solicit for 
employment for or on behalf of himself or any Third Party any person who, within
one (1) year of the termination of Executive's employment hereunder, was an
employee of the Company.

         9. INDEMNIFICATION: ADVANCEMENT OF FEES. To the full extent permitted
by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify Executive against all liability,
cost and expense (including, but not limited to, all reasonable attorney's and
other legal fees and costs through all negotiations and all trial and appellate
levels of litigation) that Executive may incur in connection with any proceeding
to which Executive is or may be made party (and all appeals thereof) by reason
of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as director, officer,
employee or agent of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise. The Company shall advance to Executive all fees and expenses
that Executive may incur in connection with any such proceeding to the full
extent permitted by applicable law, provided that Executive provides an
undertaking

                                                         6

<PAGE>



reasonably acceptable to the Company's Board of Directors to repay such
advancement if Executive is ultimately determined not to be entitled to
indemnification. The provisions of this Section 9 shall survive the termination
of this Agreement and Executive's employment hereunder.

          10. ASSIGNABILITY AND BINDING EFFECT. The rights and obligations
arising under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding
upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and legal representatives
of Executive, and shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company
and its respective successors and assignees. The Company shall not assign its
rights or delegate its duties hereunder without the prior written consent of
Executive, other than to a company that has acquired all or substantially all
the assets of the Company, and assumes all the Company's obligations hereunder,
provided the assignment is made contemporaneously with such transaction and the
Company remains liable for all its obligations hereunder. Executive shall not
assign his rights or delegate his duties hereunder without the prior written
consent of the Company.

         WHEREAS, the Company has filed a registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933 pertaining to an initial public offering of the Common
Stock ("IPO") that contemplates that the Company will effect a 3-for-1 reverse
stock split prior to the IPO ("Reverse Split").

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Ten Dollars ($10.00) in hand paid,
and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

         1.       RECITALS.  The forgoing recitals are true and correct and 
are hereby incorporated by reference.

         2. OPTION. The Company hereby grants Optionee an option ("Option") to
purchase Four Hundred Fifty Thousand (450,000) shares of Common Stock (the
"Option Stock") for Three Dollars and 60/100 ($3.60) per share ("Option Price"),
subject to adjustment for the Reverse Stock Split and for such other adjustments
as hereinafter provided. If the Reverse Stock Split precedes the IPO and both
occur by January 1, 1997, the number of shares of Option Stock shall be adjusted
as provided in Section 6 hereof but the "Option Price" shall be adjusted as of
the date of the consummation of the IPO to be the price to the public per share
in the IPO net of all underwriting discounts and selling concessions,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6 hereof. Thereafter and in
all other cases, the Option Stock and Option Price shall be subject to
adjustment as provided elsewhere herein. Except as otherwise provided herein,
the Option shall become exercisable in accordance with Section 3 hereof and,
unless sooner terminated pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain exercisable
until 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on October 23, 2004 ("Exercise Period").

         3.       VESTING AND EXERCISE OF OPTION.

                  A.       VESTING.  The Option may be exercised for: (i) One
Hundred Fifty Thousand (150,000) shares of the Option Stock beginning one (1)
year after the date hereof; (ii) an additional One Hundred Fifty Thousand
(150,000) shares of the Option Stock beginning two (2)


                                                         1

<PAGE>



years after the date hereof; and (iii) an additional One Hundred Fifty Thousand
(150,000) shares of the Option Stock beginning three (3) years after the date
hereof. The Option shall be deemed "vested" as to all Common Stock for which it
is then exercisable.

                  B. EXERCISE. Optionee may exercise the Option from time to
time for any or all Option Stock for which it is then exercisable by delivering
written notice thereof ("Exercise Notice") to the Company at any time during the
Exercise Period, which Exercise Notice shall specify the number of shares of
Option Stock for which such exercise is made. The Option Notice shall be
accompanied by the Option Price and the amount of any withholding taxes the
Company is required to pay as a result of the exercise of the Option.

                  C. MANNER OF PAYMENT. The Option Price and the amount of any
such withholding required to be paid by Optionee may be paid at the election of
the Optionee: (i) in cash or by check; (ii) by directing the Company to withhold
shares of Option Stock purchased upon the exercise of such Option, the Fair
Market Value (as hereinafter defined) of which, as of the date of the Exercise
Notice, corresponds to such Option Price and tax withholding liability to be
paid for therewith; or (iii) any combination of (i) or (ii). For purposes of
this Agreement, "Fair Market Value" means, as to any security on a given day,
the average of the closing prices of such security's sales on all domestic
securities exchanges on which such security may at the time be listed, or, if
there have been no sales on any such exchange on such day, the average of the
highest bid and lowest asked prices on all such exchanges at the end of such
day, or, if on such day such security is not so listed, the average of the
representative bid and asked prices quoted in the NASDAQ System as of 4:00 P.M.,
New York time, on such day, or, if on any day such security is not quoted in the
NASDAQ System, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices on such
day in the domestic over-the-counter market as reported by the National
Quotation Bureau, Incorporated, or any similar successor organization, or, if
the security is not regularly traded in a public market, as determined by a
valuation prepared by an independent expert mutually agreeable to the Optionee
and the Company.

         4.       EFFECT OF CERTAIN EVENTS ON VESTING AND TERMINATION.

                  A. CHANGE OF CONTROL. In the event of a Change of Control (as
hereinafter defined), the Option shall immediately be fully vested and
exercisable for all Option Stock and shall thereafter be exercisable as to all
shares of Option Stock for which the Option has not yet been exercised. For
purposes of this Agreement, "Change of Control" shall mean if: (i) the Company
agrees to sell all or substantially all of its assets for cash or property or
for a combination of cash and property; (ii) the Company agrees to any merger,
consolidation, reorganization, division or other Corporate Transaction (as
hereinafter defined) in which the holders of the Company's Common Stock become
entitled to receive, with respect to their Common Stock, cash, securities or
assets other than, or in addition to, their Common Stock, or in which the
Company will not be the surviving entity; (iii) the approval by the shareholders
of the Company of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the
Company; or (iv) the acquisition by any person or group (as that term is defined
in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the
rules promulgated pursuant to that act) in a single transaction or a series of
transactions of 30% or more in voting power of the outstanding


                                                         2

<PAGE>



stock of the Company and, within two years after the last of such transactions
took place, the individuals who constituted the Board of Directors of the
Company as of immediately prior to the first of such transactions cease for any
reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors.

                  B. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. In the event of a termination of
Optionee's employment with the Company by the Company for "Cause," as defined in
Optionee's Employment Agreement with the Company dated as of October 24, 1996
("Employment Agreement"), or in the event Optionee's employment under the
Employment Agreement is terminated by Optionee without "Cause" (as defined
therein), then the Option may be exercised for the Option Stock for which the
Option is then exercisable until the expiration of the three (3) month period
immediately following the date of such termination of employment.

                  C. TERMINATION BECAUSE OF DEATH OR PERMANENT DISABILITY OF
OPTIONEE. In the event of a termination of Optionee's employment with the
Company because of his Permanent Disability (as defined in the Employment
Agreement) or death, then the Option shall immediately be fully vested and
exercisable as to all shares of Option Stock for which the Option has not been
exercised, and shall remain exercisable until the expiration of the twelve (12)
month period immediately following the date of such termination of employment.

                  D. OTHER TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Upon expiration of the
term of Optionee's employment under the Employment Agreement, termination by
Optionee of the Employment Agreement with Cause, termination by the Company
other than for Cause or because of Optionee's death or Permanent Disability,
termination by mutual consent of Company and Optionee, or any other termination
of Optionee's employment with the Company other than by the Company for Cause,
by Optionee without Cause, or as a result of Optionee's death or Permanent
Disability, the Option shall immediately be fully vested and exercisable as to
all Option Stock for which the Option has not been exercised, and shall remain
exercisable until 5:00 p.m.
Eastern time on October 23, 2004.

         5. CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS. While this Option is outstanding (whether or
not then vested), the Company shall give Optionee thirty (30) days prior written
notice of each Corporate Transaction as a result of which the holders of the
Common Stock will become entitled to receive, with respect to their Common
Stock, cash, securities or assets other than, or in addition to, their Common
Stock. Optionee shall be entitled at any time prior to such Corporate
Transaction to exercise the Option for any or all Option Stock (which exercise
may be conditioned by Optionee upon the consummation of the Corporate
Transaction), which exercise (and the issuance of the Option Stock pursuant
thereto) shall be deemed to have occurred immediately before the record date for
determining the holders of the Common Stock entitled to receive such cash,
securities or assets because of such Corporate Transaction.

         6. SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF COMMON STOCK. If the Company at any
time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or
otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
greater number of shares, the Option Price in effect immediately prior to such
subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of


                                                         3

<PAGE>



shares of Option Stock obtainable upon exercise of the Option will be
proportionately increased. If the Company at any time combines (by reverse stock
split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Option Price in effect immediately
prior to such combination will be proportionately increased (except, if the
Reverse Split precedes the IPO and both occur by January 1, 1997, the Option
Price shall be as provided in Section 2 hereof) and the number of shares of
Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of the Option will be proportionately
decreased.

         7. REGISTRATION OF OPTION STOCK. In the event that any registration
statement under the Securities Act or any applicable State Securities Law is
filed with respect to Company's securities issued or issuable to employees under
any Company Employee Stock Option Plan, the Options and Option Stock issued or
issuable hereunder shall also be included in such registration statement, as if
the Options granted hereunder where granted under such Stock Option Plan.

         8. TRANSFERABILITY. The Option will not be assignable or transferable
other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a
qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code or Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. In the event the
Option is transferred by will or the laws of descent, the Option may be
exercised only by an executor or administrator or by the person or persons who
shall have acquired the Option directly from the Optionee by bequest or
inheritance.

         9. RESTRICTIONS ON RESALES. The Optionee acknowledges that the Option
and the Option Stock have not been requested under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended ("Securities Act") or applicable state securities laws and may not be
resold except pursuant to registration under the Securities Act and such state
securities laws or an exemption therefrom.

         10. RIGHTS OF THE OPTIONEE. The grant of this Option, execution of this
Agreement or exercise of any portion of this Option shall not confer upon the
Optionee any right to, or guaranty of, a position as an employee, consultant,
advisor or director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

         11.      MISCELLANEOUS.

                  A.       NOTICES.  All notices, demands or other

Eastern time on September 30, 2004.

         5. CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS. While this Option is outstanding (whether or
not then vested), the Company shall give Optionee thirty (30) days prior written
notice of each Corporate Transaction as a result of which the holders of the
Common Stock will become entitled to receive, with respect to their Common
Stock, cash, securities or assets other than, or in addition to, their Common
Stock. Optionee shall be entitled at any time prior to such Corporate
Transaction to exercise the Option for any or all Option Stock (which exercise
may be conditioned by Optionee upon the consummation of the Corporate
Transaction), which exercise (and the issuance of the Option Stock pursuant
thereto) shall be deemed to have occurred immediately before the record date for
determining the holders of the Common Stock entitled to receive such cash,
securities or assets because of such Corporate Transaction.

         6. SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF COMMON STOCK. If the Company at any
time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or
otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
greater number of shares, the Option Price in effect immediately prior to such
subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of shares of Option
Stock obtainable upon exercise of the Option will be proportionately increased.

                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT


         THIS STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made and entered into as
of the 24th day of October, 1996 by and between ROADHOUSE GRILL, INC., a Florida
corporation (the "Company"), and JOHN DAVID TOOLE, III ("Optionee").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         WHEREAS, the Optionee is a key employee of the Company;

         WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Company desires to grant Optionee an option to acquire up to Four Hundred Fifty
Thousand (450,000) shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per
share ("Common Stock"); and

         WHEREAS, the Company has filed a registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933 pertaining to an initial public offering of the Common
Stock ("IPO") that contemplates that the Company will effect a 3-for-1 reverse
stock split prior to the IPO ("Reverse Split").

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Ten Dollars ($10.00) in hand paid,
and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

         1.       RECITALS.  The forgoing recitals are true and correct and 
are hereby incorporated by reference.

         2. OPTION. The Company hereby grants Optionee an option ("Option") to
purchase Four Hundred Fifty Thousand (450,000) shares of Common Stock (the
"Option Stock") for Three Dollars and 60/100 ($3.60) per share ("Option Price"),
subject to adjustment for the Reverse Stock Split and for such other adjustments
as hereinafter provided. If the Reverse Stock Split precedes the IPO and both
occur by January 1, 1997, the number of shares of Option Stock shall be adjusted
as provided in Section 6 hereof but the "Option Price" shall be adjusted as of
the date of the consummation of the IPO to be the price to the public per share
in the IPO net of all underwriting discounts and selling concessions,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6 hereof. Thereafter and in
all other cases, the Option Stock and Option Price shall be subject to
adjustment as provided elsewhere herein. Except as otherwise provided herein,
the Option shall become exercisable in accordance with Section 3 hereof and,
unless sooner terminated pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain exercisable
until 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on October 23, 2004 ("Exercise Period").

         3.       VESTING AND EXERCISE OF OPTION.

                  A.       VESTING.  The Option may be exercised for: (i) One
Hundred Fifty Thousand (150,000) shares of the Option Stock beginning one (1)
year after the date hereof; (ii) an additional One Hundred Fifty Thousand
(150,000) shares of the Option Stock beginning two (2)


                                                         1

<PAGE>



years after the date hereof; and (iii) an additional One Hundred Fifty Thousand
(150,000) shares of the Option Stock beginning three (3) years after the date
hereof. The Option shall be deemed "vested" as to all Common Stock for which it
is then exercisable.

                  B. EXERCISE. Optionee may exercise the Option from time to
time for any or all Option Stock for which it is then exercisable by delivering
written notice thereof ("Exercise Notice") to the Company at any time during the
Exercise Period, which Exercise Notice shall specify the number of shares of
Option Stock for which such exercise is made. The Option Notice shall be
accompanied by the Option Price and the amount of any withholding taxes the
Company is required to pay as a result of the exercise of the Option.

                  C. MANNER OF PAYMENT. The Option Price and the amount of any
such withholding required to be paid by Optionee may be paid at the election of
the Optionee: (i) in cash or by check; (ii) by directing the Company to withhold
shares of Option Stock purchased upon the exercise of such Option, the Fair
Market Value (as hereinafter defined) of which, as of the date of the Exercise
Notice, corresponds to such Option Price and tax withholding liability to be
paid for therewith; or (iii) any combination of (i) or (ii). For purposes of
this Agreement, "Fair Market Value" means, as to any security on a given day,
the average of the closing prices of such security's sales on all domestic
securities exchanges on which such security may at the time be listed, or, if
there have been no sales on any such exchange on such day, the average of the
highest bid and lowest asked prices on all such exchanges at the end of such
day, or, if on such day such security is not so listed, the average of the
representative bid and asked prices quoted in the NASDAQ System as of 4:00 P.M.,
New York time, on such day, or, if on any day such security is not quoted in the
NASDAQ System, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices on such
day in the domestic over-the-counter market as reported by the National
Quotation Bureau, Incorporated, or any similar successor organization, or, if
the security is not regularly traded in a public market, as determined by a
valuation prepared by an independent expert mutually agreeable to the Optionee
and the Company.

         4.       EFFECT OF CERTAIN EVENTS ON VESTING AND TERMINATION.

                  A. CHANGE OF CONTROL. In the event of a Change of Control (as
hereinafter defined), the Option shall immediately be fully vested and
exercisable for all Option Stock and shall thereafter be exercisable as to all
shares of Option Stock for which the Option has not yet been exercised. For
purposes of this Agreement, "Change of Control" shall mean if: (i) the Company
agrees to sell all or substantially all of its assets for cash or property or
for a combination of cash and property; (ii) the Company agrees to any merger,
consolidation, reorganization, division or other Corporate Transaction (as
hereinafter defined) in which the holders of the Company's Common Stock become
entitled to receive, with respect to their Common Stock, cash, securities or
assets other than, or in addition to, their Common Stock, or in which the
Company will not be the surviving entity; (iii) the approval by the shareholders
of the Company of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the
Company; or (iv) the acquisition by any person or group (as that term is defined
in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the
rules promulgated pursuant to that act) in a single transaction or a series of
transactions of 30% or more in voting power of the outstanding


                                                         2

<PAGE>



stock of the Company and, within two years after the last of such transactions
took place, the individuals who constituted the Board of Directors of the
Company as of immediately prior to the first of such transactions cease for any
reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors.

                  B. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. In the event of a termination of
Optionee's employment with the Company by the Company for "Cause," as defined in
Optionee's Employment Agreement with the Company dated as of October 24, 1996
("Employment Agreement"), or in the event Optionee's employment under the
Employment Agreement is terminated by Optionee without "Cause" (as defined
therein), then the Option may be exercised for the Option Stock for which the
Option is then exercisable until the expiration of the three (3) month period
immediately following the date of such termination of employment.

                  C. TERMINATION BECAUSE OF DEATH OR PERMANENT DISABILITY OF
OPTIONEE. In the event of a termination of Optionee's employment with the
Company because of his Permanent Disability (as defined in the Employment
Agreement) or death, then the Option shall immediately be fully vested and
exercisable as to all shares of Option Stock for which the Option has not been
exercised, and shall remain exercisable until the expiration of the twelve (12)
month period immediately following the date of such termination of employment.

                  D. OTHER TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Upon expiration of the
term of Optionee's employment under the Employment Agreement, termination by
Optionee of the Employment Agreement with Cause, termination by the Company
other than for Cause or because of Optionee's death or Permanent Disability,
termination by mutual consent of Company and Optionee, or any other termination
of Optionee's employment with the Company other than by the Company for Cause,
by Optionee without Cause, or as a result of Optionee's death or Permanent
Disability, the Option shall immediately be fully vested and exercisable as to
all Option Stock for which the Option has not been exercised, and shall remain
exercisable until 5:00 p.m.
Eastern time on October 23, 2004.

         5. CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS. While this Option is outstanding (whether or
not then vested), the Company shall give Optionee thirty (30) days prior written
notice of each Corporate Transaction as a result of which the holders of the
Common Stock will become entitled to receive, with respect to their Common
Stock, cash, securities or assets other than, or in addition to, their Common
Stock. Optionee shall be entitled at any time prior to such Corporate
Transaction to exercise the Option for any or all Option Stock (which exercise
may be conditioned by Optionee upon the consummation of the Corporate
Transaction), which exercise (and the issuance of the Option Stock pursuant
thereto) shall be deemed to have occurred immediately before the record date for
determining the holders of the Common Stock entitled to receive such cash,
securities or assets because of such Corporate Transaction.

         6. SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF COMMON STOCK. If the Company at any
time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or
otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
greater number of shares, the Option Price in effect immediately prior to such
subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of


                                                         3

<PAGE>



shares of Option Stock obtainable upon exercise of the Option will be
proportionately increased. If the Company at any time combines (by reverse stock
split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Option Price in effect immediately
prior to such combination will be proportionately increased (except, if the
Reverse Split precedes the IPO and both occur by January 1, 1997, the Option
Price shall be as provided in Section 2 hereof) and the number of shares of
Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of the Option will be proportionately
decreased.

         7. REGISTRATION OF OPTION STOCK. In the event that any registration
statement under the Securities Act or any applicable State Securities Law is
filed with respect to Company's securities issued or issuable to employees under
any Company Employee Stock Option Plan, the Options and Option Stock issued or
issuable hereunder shall also be included in such registration statement, as if
the Options granted hereunder where granted under such Stock Option Plan.

         8. TRANSFERABILITY. The Option will not be assignable or transferable
other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a
qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code or Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. In the event the
Option is transferred by will or the laws of descent, the Option may be
exercised only by an executor or administrator or by the person or persons who
shall have acquired the Option directly from the Optionee by bequest or
inheritance.

         9. RESTRICTIONS ON RESALES. The Optionee acknowledges that the Option
and the Option Stock have not been requested under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended ("Securities Act") or applicable state securities laws and may not be
resold except pursuant to registration under the Securities Act and such state
securities laws or an exemption therefrom.

         10. RIGHTS OF THE OPTIONEE. The grant of this Option, execution of this
Agreement or exercise of any portion of this Option shall not confer upon the
Optionee any right to, or guaranty of, a position as an employee, consultant,
advisor or director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

         11.      MISCELLANEOUS.

                  A.       NOTICES.  All notices, demands or other 
communications given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have

Roadhouse Grill Inc. and Berjaya Group (Cayman), and subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, the Company granted Optionee an option to acquire
up to Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) shares of the Company's common stock, par
value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock").

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Ten Dollars ($10.00) in hand paid,
and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

         1.       RECITALS.  The forgoing recitals are true and correct and are
hereby incorporated by reference.

         2. OPTION. The Company hereby grants Optionee an option ("Option") to
purchase Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) shares of Common Stock (the "Option
Stock") for Two and 50/100 Dollars ($2.50) per share ("Option Price"), subject
to adjustment as hereinafter provided. Except as otherwise provided herein, the
Option shall become exercisable in accordance with Section 3 hereof and, unless
sooner terminated pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain exercisable until
5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 30, 2002 ("Exercise Period").

         3.       VESTING AND EXERCISE OF OPTION.

                  A. VESTING. The Option may be exercised for: (i) One Hundred
Sixty Six Thousand Six Hundred Sixty Seven (166,667) shares of the Option Stock
beginning on September 30,1995; (ii) an additional One Hundred Sixty Six
Thousand Six Hundred Sixty Seven (166,667) shares of the Option Stock beginning
on September 30, 1996, and (iii) an additional One Hundred Sixty Six Thousand
Six Hundred Sixty Six (166,666) shares of the Option Stock beginning on
September 30, 1997. The Option shall be deemed "vested" as to all Common Stock
for which it is then exercisable.

                  B.       EXERCISE.  Optionee may exercise the Option from 
time to time for any or all Option Stock for which it is then exercisable by
delivering written notice thereof ("Exercise Notice") to the Company at any time
during the Exercise Period, which Exercise Notice shall specify the number of
shares of Option Stock for which such exercise is made. The Option Notice


                                                         1

<PAGE>



shall be accompanied by the Option Price and the amount of any withholding taxes
the Company is required to pay as a result of the exercise of the Option.

                  C. MANNER OF PAYMENT. The Option Price and the amount of any
such withholding required to be paid by Optionee may be paid at the election of
the Optionee: (i) in cash or by check; (ii) by directing the Company to withhold
shares of Option Stock purchased upon the exercise of such Option, the Fair
Market Value (as hereinafter defined) of which, as of the date of the Exercise
Notice, corresponds to such Option Price and tax withholding liability to be
paid for therewith; or (iii) any combination of (i) or (ii). For purposes of
this Agreement, "Fair Market Value" means, as to any security on a given day,
the average of the closing prices of such security's sales on all domestic
securities exchanges on which such security may at the time be listed, or, if
there have been no sales on any such exchange on such day, the average of the
highest bid and lowest asked prices on all such exchanges at the end of such
day, or, if on such day such security is not so listed, the average of the
representative bid and asked prices quoted in the NASDAQ System as of 4:00 P.M.,
New York time, on such day, or, if on any day such security is not quoted in the
NASDAQ System, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices on such
day in the domestic over-the-counter market as reported by the National
Quotation Bureau, Incorporated, or any similar successor organization, or, if
the security is not regularly traded in a public market, as determined by a
valuation prepared by an independent expert mutually agreeable to the Optionee
and the Company.

         4.       EFFECT OF CERTAIN EVENTS ON VESTING AND TERMINATION.

                  A. CHANGE OF CONTROL. In the event of a Change of Control (as
hereinafter defined), the Option shall immediately be fully vested and
exercisable for all Option Stock and shall thereafter be exercisable as to all
shares of Option Stock for which the Option has not yet been exercised. For
purposes of this Agreement, "Change of Control" shall mean if: (i) the Company
agrees to sell all or substantially all of its assets for cash or property or
for a combination of cash and property; (ii) the Company agrees to any merger,
consolidation, reorganization, division or other Corporate Transaction (as
hereinafter defined) in which the holders of the Company's Common Stock become
entitled to receive, with respect to their Common Stock, cash, securities or
assets other than, or in addition to, their Common Stock, or in which the
Company will not be the surviving entity; (iii) the approval by the shareholders
of the Company of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the
Company; or (iv) the acquisition by any person or group (as that term is defined
in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the
rules promulgated pursuant to that act) in a single transaction or a series of
transactions of 30% or more in voting power of the outstanding stock of the
Company and, within two years after the last of such transactions took place,
the individuals who constituted the Board of Directors of the Company as of
immediately prior to the first of such transactions cease for any reason to
constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors.

                  B.       TERMINATION FOR CAUSE.  In the event of a 
termination of Optionee's employment with the Company by the Company for
"Cause," as defined in Optionee's Employment Agreement with the Company dated as
of October 24. 1996 ("Employment


                                                         2

<PAGE>



Agreement"), or in the event Optionee's employment under the Employment
Agreement is terminated by Optionee without "Cause" (as defined therein), then
the Option may be exercised for the Option Stock for which the Option is then
exercisable until the expiration of the three (3) month period immediately
following the date of such termination of employment.

                  C. TERMINATION BECAUSE OF DEATH OR TOTAL DISABILITY OF
OPTIONEE. In the event of a termination of Optionee's employment with the
Company because of his Permanent Disability (as defined in the Employment
Agreement) or death, then the Option shall immediately be fully vested and
exercisable as to all shares of Option Stock for which the Option has not been
exercised, and shall remain exercisable until the expiration of the twelve (12)
month period immediately following the date of such termination of employment.

                  D. OTHER TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Upon expiration of the
term of Optionee's employment under the Employment Agreement, termination by
Optionee of the Employment Agreement with Cause, termination by the Company
other than for Cause (or because of Optionee's death or Permanent Disability),
termination by mutual consent of Company and Optionee, or any other termination
of Optionee's employment with the Company other than by the Company for Cause,
by Optionee without Cause, or as a result of Optionee's death or Permanent
Disability, the Option shall immediately be fully vested and exercisable as to
all Option Stock for which the Option has not been exercised, and shall remain
exercisable until 5:00 p.m.
Eastern time on September 30, 2004.

         5. CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS. While this Option is outstanding (whether or
not then vested), the Company shall give Optionee thirty (30) days prior written
notice of each Corporate Transaction as a result of which the holders of the
Common Stock will become entitled to receive, with respect to their Common
Stock, cash, securities or assets other than, or in addition to, their Common
Stock. Optionee shall be entitled at any time prior to such Corporate
Transaction to exercise the Option for any or all Option Stock (which exercise
may be conditioned by Optionee upon the consummation of the Corporate
Transaction), which exercise (and the issuance of the Option Stock pursuant
thereto) shall be deemed to have occurred immediately before the record date for
determining the holders of the Common Stock entitled to receive such cash,
securities or assets because of such Corporate Transaction.

         6. SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF COMMON STOCK. If the Company at any
time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or
otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
greater number of shares, the Option Price in effect immediately prior to such
subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of shares of Option
Stock obtainable upon exercise of the Option will be proportionately increased.
If the Company at any time combines (by reverse stock split or otherwise) one or
more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of
shares, the Option Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be
proportionately increased and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable
upon exercise of the Option will be proportionately decreased.

         7. REGISTRATION OF OPTION STOCK. In the event that any registration
statement under the Securities Act or any applicable State Securities Law is
filed with respect to Company's securities issued or issuable to employees under
the Company's 1994 Employee Stock Option Plan, the Options and Option Stock
issued or issuable hereunder shall also be included in such registration
statement, as if the Options granted hereunder where granted under the 1994
Employee Stock Option Plan.

         8. TRANSFERABILITY. The Option will not be assignable or transferable
other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a
qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code or Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. In the event the
Option is transferred by will or the laws of descent, the Option may be
exercised only by an executor or administrator or by the person or persons who
shall have acquired the Option directly from the Optionee by bequest or
inheritance.

         9. RESTRICTIONS ON RESALES. The Optionee acknowledges that the Option
and the Option Stock have not been requested under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended ("Securities Act") or applicable state securities laws and may not be
resold except pursuant to registration under the Securities Act and such state
securities laws or an exemption therefrom.

         10. RIGHTS OF THE OPTIONEE. The grant of this Option, execution of this
Agreement or exercise of any portion of this Option shall not confer upon the
Optionee any right to, or guaranty of, a position as an employee, consultant,
advisor or director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
