Nashville, Tennessee (February 8, 1999) -- Logan's Roadhouse, Inc.

announced that it and the plaintiffs have reached an agreement in principle to 
settle previously announced litigation regarding the merger.

     As part of the settlement, Logan's Roadhouse and CBRL Group have also 
agreed that the termination fee that was payable by Logan's Roadhouse to CBRL

million to $1.5 million. In addition, as part of the agreement in principle 
regarding the settlement, Logan's Roadhouse will obtain a fairness opinion, 
dated as of the closing date, that the merger consideration continues to be 
fair from a financial point of view to Logan's Roadhouse shareholders.
