of Tanner's Restaurant Group, Inc.
Norcross, GA - January 13, 2000 - Tanner's Restaurant Group, Inc. ("Tanner's")
(OTCBB:ROTI) announced today the resignation of Timothy R. Robinson as Vice
President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary. Mr. Robinson has chosen to
pursue other career opportunities and personal interests.
Margaret Smoot, Tanner's Controller will assume Mr. Robinson's day-to-day

Tanner's is a developer, operator and franchiser of branded restaurant concepts.
The Company's flagship operation is the nine-location chain of Rick Tanner's
Original Grill restaurants located in the metropolitan Atlanta area. Rick
Tanner's offers a casual dining experience, generous portions, and high quality
foods at reasonable prices. The menu offers over 40 entrees, 15 appetizers, and
15 vegetables and side dishes, with an emphasis on food that is fresh and cooked
to order. Meals are available on both an eat-in and take-out basis, and the
restaurant is positioned between home meal replacement concepts and traditional
sit-down restaurants that are not designed to cater to the take-out business.
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27-A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Although the company believes the
