ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
The Company herein undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
in this Registration Statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement
or any material change to such information in the Registration
Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if
the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the
information required to be included in a post-effective
I-3
<PAGE> 5
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed
with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the
Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that
are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment 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.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each filing of the Company's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable,
each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section
15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement 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.
(5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
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 such 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.

Re: Registration of 516,666 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.03,
pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for Roadhouse Grill, Inc., a Florida
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant to a
Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement"), of 516,666
shares of Common Stock, par value $0.03 per share, of the Company (the "Common
Stock") to be issued to officers, directors and employees of the Company for
the purposes and substantially upon the terms and conditions set forth in the
Company's Amended and Restated 1994 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan").
Based upon our examination of such papers and documents as we have
deemed relevant or necessary in rendering this opinion, and based on our review
of the Florida Business Corporation Act, we hereby advise you that we are of
the opinion that assuming, with respect to shares of Common Stock issued after
the date hereof, (i) the receipt of proper consideration for the issuance
thereof in excess of the par value thereof, (ii) the availability of a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized by the Company's
Articles of Incorporation then in effect, (iii) compliance with the terms of
any agreement entered into in connection with any options or shares of Common
Stock issued under the Plan, and (iv) no change occurs in the applicable law or
the pertinent facts, shares of Common Stock issued by the Company under the
Plan will, when and to the extent issued by the Company, be legally issued,
fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock.
This opinion is addressed to you solely in connection with the matters
referred to herein and is not to be relied upon by any other person, except the
Nasdaq National Market and the Securities and Exchange Commission, or for any
other purpose.
