</TABLE>


TWELVE WEEKS ENDED MARCH 27, 1996, COMPARED TO  TWELVE WEEKS ENDED MARCH 22,
1995.

     NET SALES.   The Company's net sales increased 5.5% to $4,280,714 compared
to $4,058,631 for the first quarter last year.  The increase is attributable to
the three new restaurants opened since the beginning of the first quarter of
fiscal 1995 but offset by the sale of the salad bar restaurant "Q. Cumbers" and
closing an underperforming restaurant in Williamsville, New York (both of which
were open during the first quarter 1995).  Same store sales for stores open at
least 18 months were down 6.8%.  The decline was due in part to the severe
winter weather the restaurants experienced in January.


                                        5

     COSTS AND EXPENSES.   Cost of restaurant sales, consisting of food and
beverage costs, decreased .9% to 37.9% compared to 38.8% for the same period
last year.  This decrease is primarily the result of opportunities during the
quarter that allowed us to feature high value, supplementary menu entrees with
lower food costs.  In aggregate, costs of beef and seafood were up just slightly
above last year.

     Labor and related benefit costs were 28.5% as a percentage of sales for 
the first quarter 1996 and the same period last year.  Labor productivity gains
were achieved during the quarter but were offset by an increase in health 
insurance costs as more employees entered the program upon meeting 
eligibility requirements.

     Restaurant operating expenses include all other unit-level costs, the major
components of which are rents, real estate taxes, utilities, store supplies,
repairs and maintenance and other related occupancy costs.  Restaurant operating
costs are semi-variable while most of the occupancy expenses are fixed.  In the
aggregate for the first quarter, restaurant operating expenses and occupancy
costs decreased .6% to 18.6% of net sales compared to 19.2% for the same period
last year.  The decrease is attributable to the sales increase for the quarter
combined with the effect of lower property insurance costs.

     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.   General and administrative expenses
increased .8% to 7.3% of net sales compared to 6.5% for the same period last
year.  The increase is due primarily to an incremental increase in newspaper and
radio advertising for the Minneapolis/St. Paul market compared to the same
quarter last year.

     AMORTIZATION OF PRE-OPENING COSTS.   Amortization of pre-opening costs
decreased to 1.3% of net sales compared to 3.4% for the same period last year.
The decrease is attributable to amortizing pre-opening costs for five new
restaurants in the first quarter 1995 compared to three new restaurants the same
quarter this year.  The Company amortizes pre-opening costs for new restaurants
over a twelve month period commencing with the first full period after the
restaurant's opening.

     INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME.   Interest and other income for the first
quarter was $22,007 compared to $44,260 for the same period last year.  The
decrease is due to a reduction of marketable securities used to finance new
restaurant construction.


     PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES.   The Company's effective tax rate is estimated
at 20% compared to 32% for the same period last year.  The company's tax rate is
impacted by tax credits for FICA tax paid on tips received by restaurant 
employees.

     NET INCOME.   The Company's net income was $235,267 in the first fiscal
quarter of 1996 compared to $131,072 for the same period last year.  Earnings
per share were $.07 in the first quarter 1996 compared to $.04 for the same
quarter last year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     All the proceeds raised from the Company's initial public offering of its
Common Stock in December 1993 (approximately $6,300,000) have been used to
develop steakhouse restaurants.  Historically, the Company has leased its
restaurant sites under non-cancelable leases for periods of six to fifteen
years, with renewal options of between three and ten years.  The Company plans
to continue leasing sites for expansion in the foreseeable future.

     Cash provided by operating activities was $565,740 compared to cash used of
$298,233 for the same period last year.  The Company had net working capital of
$630,820 at March 27, 1996 compared to $1,277,004 at January 3, 1996.  The
decrease in working capital is a result of utilizing existing cash to fund new
restaurant development.  The Company has a $200,000 bank line of credit which it
has used to fund short-term cash needs.  At the end of first quarter 1996 this
line had an outstanding balance of $100,000.  This balance is planned to be paid
down in the subsequent quarter.  Most of the Company's sales are paid by cash or
credit card and the Company generally receives 30 days credit from trade
suppliers.

     The Company's Board of Directors passed a resolution in May 1995
authorizing the purchase of shares of the Company's Common Stock in the open
market as management of the Company deems appropriate.  During the first quarter
1996, the Company purchased 3,000 shares of its Common Stock on the open market
at an average price of $3.37 per share.  These repurchases represent less than
 .1% of the Company's outstanding stock.

     The Company currently intends to focus its expansion on steakhouse
restaurants and estimates that the average costs of developing a new steakhouse
restaurant to be approximately $1,200,000.  The actual cost will vary depending
on the size of the restaurant, the amount of landlord contributions, if any, and
whether extensive renovation or remodeling is required.  Pre-opening costs,
primarily labor, advertising, travel and other costs related to the two new
steakhouses opened in 1995 were $105,000 per restaurant.  Expenses for new
restaurants opening in the future are expected to be similar.
