           Nathan's Famous, Inc. consummates acquisition of Miami Subs


     Westbury , NY, October 1, 1999-- Nathan's Famous,  Inc.  (NASDAQ:NATH)  and
Miami Subs Corporation  (formerly  OTC:SUBS)  announced that effective today the
merger of the companies has been completed.

     The   stockholders  of  Nathan's   approved  the  merger  with  Miami  Subs
Corporation  and an increase in the number of authorized  shares of common stock
to 30,000,000 at a special  meeting held on September 28, 1999.  Shareholders of
Miami Subs approved the merger at a special  meeting on September 30, 1999. Each

     Wayne Norbitz,  the President of Nathan's  stated:  "We are very pleased to
have  successfully  completed  the  merger  with  Miami  Subs,  which has been a
significant  objective of ours. We shall seek to exploit opportunities to market
and develop each Company's concept separately and as well as in concert, through
co-branding  opportunities.  This merger  represents a substantial  step towards
realizing Nathan's growth strategy."

     "We have been anxious to complete this transaction,"said  Donald L. Perlyn,
President of Miami Subs. "This alliance allows us to better leverage and enhance
our management  team as well as capitalize on the greater  economies of scale of
the combined company.  With Nathan's recently becoming the new franchisor of the
Kenny  Rogers  Roasters   restaurant  system,  and  Miami  Subs'  obtaining  the
co-branding  rights  of  Arthur  Treachers  Fish & Chips,  we now have a company
consisting  of four  highly  recognized  brands.  We are now  ready  to take the
necessary  steps  that  will  allow us to  develop  the full  potential  of this
exciting new Company."
