INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
    
 
UNIQUE CASUAL RESTAURANTS, INC.:
 
     We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Unique Casual
Restaurants, Inc. as of June 29, 1996 and July 1, 1995 and the related combined
statements of operations, cash flows and group equity for each of the three
years in the period ended June 29, 1996. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the
consolidated financial statements of Champps Entertainment, Inc. (an acquisition
by the Company accounted for as a pooling-of-interests), which statements
reflect total assets constituting 12.0% of combined total assets as of July 1,
1995, total revenues constituting 9.1% and 6.8% of combined total revenues for
the years ended July 1, 1995 and July 2, 1994, respectively, and net income
constituting 11.7% and 47.5% of combined net income for the years ended July 1,
1995 and July 2, 1994, respectively. Those statements were audited by other
auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it
relates to the amounts included for Champps Entertainment, Inc., is based solely
on the report of such other auditors.
 
     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits and the report of the other auditors provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors,
such combined financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Unique Casual Restaurants, Inc. as of June 29, 1996 and
July 1, 1995 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended June 29, 1996, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
 
     As discussed in Note 3 to the combined financial statements, during the
year ended June 29, 1996, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of."
