    ------------

    The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
    accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and include all of the
    information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting

    necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

    The Company's year consists of one sixteen-week and three twelve-week
    quarters.

2.  Stock Dividend
    --------------

    Earnings per share and weighted average common equivalent shares
    outstanding have been adjusted for the effect of a 10% stock

Item 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         -------------------------------------------------
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
         -----------------------------------

REVENUE
- -------

         Net sales for the third quarter of 1995 rose $1,794,000 or 13.5% from
the third quarter of 1994.  The increase was a result of the opening of four
restaurants through the first three quarters of 1995 and an approximately 1.5%
menu price increase from last year to this year.  The Company operated 30
restaurants at August 6, 1995 as compared to 26 at August 7, 1994.

     Year-to-date net sales increased $5,602,000 or 13.0% from 1994 to 1995.
The increase was a result of the openings and price increases referred to
above, plus the opening of three restaurants during 1994.

     During the third quarter and year-to-date periods of 1995, same-store
sales were up approximately 1.0% over the corresponding periods of 1994.  The
increase was a result of the 1.5% price increase referred to above, which was
partially offset by a sharp drop in net sales at the Company's Cleveland
"Flats" location.  During the quarter and for the year-to-date, this location
experienced sales declines of 27% and 17%,respectively, due to road and sewer
work which substantially closed access to the entire Flats area.  Exclusive of
this location, same store sales rose 2.5% from the third quarter of 1994 to the
third quarter of 1995 and 1.7% for the year-to-date periods of 1994 to 1995.

     Management is very optimistic about the outlook for the Cleveland "Flats"
location for various reasons.  Completion of the road and sewer work is
expected to occur during the fourth quarter of 1995 and will coincide with the
opening of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nearby.  A downtown Cleveland rail
system, which stops in front of the Company's Flats restaurant, is under
construction and should increase customer traffic into the Flats area.  And
finally, during the first quarter of 1995, prior to commencement of the
construction, sales were up 8% over the first quarter of 1994, which is an
indication of the growing vitality of the downtown Cleveland market.

COSTS AND EXPENSES
- ------------------

     Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of net sales, declined from 25.8% for
the third quarter of 1994 to 25.5% for the third quarter of 1995.  Year-
to-date cost of goods sold, as a percentage of net sales, rose slightly from
25.9% in 1994 to 26.0% in 1995.  The slight year-to-date increase was a result
of a sharp increase in produce prices to record levels during the second
quarter of 1995.  Cost of sales declined during the third quarter of 1995, as
produce prices declined steadily during the quarter to below normal levels.

     Payroll and benefits, as a percentage of net sales, decreased from 30.9%
for the third quarter of 1994 to 30.4% for the third quarter of 1995.  Year-
to-date payroll and benefits, as a percentage of net sales, experienced a
similar decrease from 30.6% for 1994 to 30.1% for 1995.  The decreases were
primarily a result of reduced benefit costs due to implementation of a self-
funded health insurance plan and lower workers' compensation insurance costs.

     Other operating expenses, as a percentage of net sales, increased from
29.4% for the third quarter of 1994 to 30.1% for the third quarter of 1995.

The increase was the result of the decline in net sales at the Cleveland
"Flats" restaurant and the opening of one restaurant during the third quarter
of 1995.  Both these factors had the effect of increasing fixed costs as a
percentage of net sales.  Year-to-date, other operating expenses, as a
percentage of net sales, declined slightly from 29.8% in 1994 to 29.7% in 1995.


ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
- -----------------------

     Administrative expenses increased 13% and 9%, respectively, from the third
quarter of 1994 to the third quarter of 1995 and for the year-to-date periods
of 1994 to 1995.  Management expects growth in administrative expenses to
remain modest through the balance of 1995 and into 1996, as it believes the
personnel are generally in place to achieve the Company's growth plan.
Administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales, remained constant at
7.2% for the third quarter of 1995 and 1994 and declined from 7.7% to 7.4% for
the year-to-date periods.  With the planned addition of nine restaurants over
the next three quarters, management expects a further decline in administrative
expenses, as a percentage of net sales.

INTEREST EXPENSE
- ----------------

        Interest expense increased 40% and 48%, respectively, from the third
quarter of 1994 to the third quarter of 1995 and for the year-to-date periods
of 1994 to 1995.  The increase reflects an increase in the balance of long-term
obligations from the 1994 periods to the 1995 periods and an increase in
average interest rates from 8.0% at August 7, 1994, to 9.1% at August 6, 1995. 
The Company capitalized approximately $184,000 of construction period interest
through the first 40 weeks of 1995 as compared to $52,000 capitalized during
the comparable 1994 period.

INCOME TAXES
- ------------

     The Company's effective income tax rate for the comparable 40 week periods
increased from 29% in 1994 to 31% in 1995.  The increase in the effective tax
rate from 1994 to 1995 is the result of the expiration of the targeted jobs tax
credit on December 31, 1994.  However, tax credits are still available on
qualified employees hired on or before that date.  The Company expects to
utilize all available credits during 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

     The Company's working capital ratio remained constant at .4 to 1 at August
6, 1995 and October 30, 1994.  Historically, the Company has been able to
operate with a working capital deficiency because 1)  restaurant operations are
primarily conducted on a cash basis, 2)  high turnover (about once every 10
days) permits a limited investment in inventory, and 3)  trade payables for
food purchases usually become due after receipt of cash from the related sales.

     Through the third quarter of 1995, the Company expended approximately
$10,534,000 for property additions of which $275,000 was reimbursed by a
landlord, $12,179,000 to reduce long-term obligations, $480,000 to repurchase
66,550 shares of its common stock and $175,000 to increase other assets and
distributed $154,000 to minority interests in the affiliated partnerships.
Funds for such expenditures were provided primarily by $18,338,000 from
proceeds of long-term obligations, $4,501,000 from operations, and $353,000
from cash on hand.  The Company routinely draws down and repays balances under
its revolving credit agreement, the gross amounts of which are included in the
above numbers.

     At August 6, 1995, the Company was committed to the opening of three
additional restaurants during 1995, one of which opened August 14, 1995 in
Hoffman Estates, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago.  At August 6, 1995, five
restaurants were under construction.  Including Hoffman Estates, Illinois,
three of the five are scheduled to open through the end of 1995.  A total of
eight restaurants are planned for 1996.  In addition to two currently under
construction, four are under contract with construction expected to commence
during the fourth quarter of 1995.  The Company is negotiating for the two
remaining 1996 locations.

     Funding for new restaurants will be provided primarily by cash flow from
operations, equipment leasing and, to the extent necessary, the Company's
revolving credit line.  At August 6, 1995, the Company had approximately $5.4
million available under its $12.0 million revolving credit line and
approximately $3,500,000 under equipment lease commitments.
