Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in  accordance with  generally accepted accounting principles
for interim  financial information  and the instructions to Form 10-Q,
and do  not include  all the  information and  footnotes  required  by
generally  accepted   accounting  principles  for  complete  financial
statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of  normal   recurring  accruals)  considered  necessary  for  a  fair
presentation  of  the  results  for  the  interim  periods  have  been
included.   Operating results  for the  thirteen and  twenty-six  week
periods ended  July 3,  1996 are  not necessarily  indicative  of  the
results that  may be  expected for  the fiscal  year ending January 1,
1997. Effective  January 4,  1996 the  Company  adopted  Statement  of
Financing Accounting  Standards No. 121 "Accounting For The Impairment
of Long Lived Assets and For Long Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of". The
adoption of  this statement  did not  have a  material effect  on  the
consolidated financial  statements. For  further information, refer to
the financial  statements and  footnotes  included  in  the  Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 1996.

The consolidated  financial statements  include the  accounts  of  the
Company  and   its  wholly-owned   subsidiaries.     All   significant
intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Note 2.  Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 3,
1996 and  June 28,  1995 were  computed based  on the weighted average
number of  common and  common equivalent  shares outstanding.   Common
equivalent shares  are represented  by shares  under option  and stock
warrants.

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

Results of Operations

Quarter Ended July 3, 1996 versus June 28, 1995

     The Company  experienced a  decrease in  sales during  the second
thirteen weeks  of 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995. Second
quarter same-store  sales decreased to $9,815,100 from $11,034,200 for
the same period in 1995.

     Management believes  that the  decrease in  same-store  sales  is
primarily due  to the  effects of  increasing  competition,  including
several new  or remodeled  restaurants opened  by competitors in areas
close to  Company restaurants.  Management is seeking to improve sales
trends by  focusing  on  improved  restaurant  operations,  increasing
marketing expenditures,  and devising competitive strategies to offset
the effects of new competition.

     Historically, the  third and  fourth quarters of each fiscal year
are less  profitable  for  the  Company  than  the  first  and  second
quarters. If  year-to-date sales  trends continue, it is possible that
the Company will incur losses in the third and/or fourth quarters.

     The costs  and expenses of the Company's restaurants include food
and beverage,  payroll and  benefits, depreciation  and  amortization,
repairs, maintenance,  utilities,  supplies,  advertising,  insurance,
property taxes  and rents.   The Company's food, beverage, payroll and
benefit costs are believed to be higher than the industry average as a
percentage of  sales as  a  result  of  the  Company's  philosophy  of
providing customers  with high  value of  food and  service for  every
dollar a  customer spends.   In  total, food and beverage, payroll and
benefits, depreciation  and amortization  and other operating expenses
as a  percentage of  sales increased to 86.4% in the second quarter of
1996, from  84.9% in  the same  quarter of  1995, primarily  due to an
increase in payroll and benefits costs as a percentage of sales.

     Food and  beverage costs  as a  percentage of  sales decreased to
39.0% in  the second  quarter of 1996 from 39.6% in the same period of
1995, primarily due to lower beef costs and increased funding received
under the Company's soft-drink purchase contract in 1996.

      Payroll and benefits as a percentage of sales increased to 27.6%
in the  second quarter of 1996 from 26.3% in the same quarter of 1995,
primarily due  to the  decrease in same-store sales, which resulted in
reduced efficiencies in labor scheduling.

       Other  operating expenses as a percentage of sales increased to
15.6% in  the second quarter of 1996 from 15.0% in 1995, primarily due
to higher  utilities costs  as a percentage of sales. Depreciation and
amortization increased  as a percentage of sales in the second quarter
of 1996  compared to  1995, as  a result  of the decline in same-store
sales.









     General and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were
5.9% in  the second  quarter of  1996, compared  to 5.8%  in the  same
quarter of  1995. Interest  expense decreased from $414,800 during the
second quarter  of 1995  to $384,500  in 1996.  The decrease  was  due
primarily to  lower outstanding  principal  balances,  resulting  from
principal payments made throughout the last twelve months.

     The effective  income tax  rates for  the quarters  ended July 3,
1996 and June 28, 1995 were 0% and 17.8%, respectively. The rate of 0%
for the second quarter of 1996 is a result of management's belief that
the tax  provision of  $87,000 provided  in the  first quarter of 1996
will be  sufficient to  satisfy the  necessary tax  provision for  the
entire year.

       Net  earnings for  the second  quarter of  1996 were  $192,300,
compared to  $308,200 in 1995.  Earnings per share were $.02 for 1996,
compared to $.03 in 1995.

Six Months Ended July 3, 1996 versus June 28, 1995

     For the six months ended July 3, 1996, total sales decreased 9.8%
compared to  the same  period of  1995,  primarily  due  to  increased
competition.

     Food and  beverage costs  for the  six month period ended July 3,
1996 was 39.5%, compared to 39.4% for the same period in 1995. Payroll
and benefits  increased from  26.0% in  1995 to  27.2%  in  1996.  The
increase was  primarily due to the decrease in same-store sales, which
resulted in decreased efficiencies in labor scheduling.

     For the  six months  ended July 3, 1996, other operating expenses
increased to  15.6% from  14.3% in  1995, primarily  due to  increased
utilities costs  and increased  repair  and  maintenance  costs  as  a
percentage of  sales. Depreciation  and amortization  increased  as  a
percentage of  sales for  the six  month period  ended July  3,  1996,
compared to  the same period of 1995, due to the decline in same-store
sales.

     For the six months ended July 3, 1996, general and administrative
expenses decreased  to 5.5%  of sales from 5.6% for the same period in
1995. Interest  expense decreased  for the first six months of 1996 to
$775,500 from  $864,500 for  the same  period in  1995, due to reduced
principal balances.

     The effective  income tax  rates for  the six-month periods ended
July 3, 1996 and June 28, 1995 were 16.1% and 16.0% respectively.

     Net earnings  for the six months ended July 3, 1996 were $453,400
or $.04  per share,  compared to net earnings of $886,800, or $.08 per
share for the same period in 1995.

     The  Company's   operations  are   subject   to   some   seasonal
fluctuations.  Revenues per restaurant generally increase from January
through April  and decline from September through December.  Operating
results for  the quarter  ended  July  3,  1996  are  not  necessarily
indicative of  the results  that may  be expected  for the fiscal year
ending January 1, 1997.






Recent Developments

     In April  1996, the Company signed a letter of intent to purchase
land on  which the  Company intends  to construct a Ryan's restaurant.
The purchase  of the property is contingent upon the Company's ability
to obtain  building permits for the construction. The Company believes
the permits will be obtained in the third quarter of 1996 and that the
new restaurant  will be completed and become operational in the fourth
quarter of  1996. The Company currently has a commitment from a lender
to finance the restaurant using sales-leaseback financing.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Substantially all of the Company's revenues are derived from cash
sales.   Inventories are purchased on credit and are converted rapidly
to  cash.     Therefore,   the  Company  does  not  carry  significant
receivables or inventories.  As a result, working capital requirements
for continuing operations are not significant.

     At July  3, 1996,  the Company  had a  working capital deficit of
$2,382,000, compared  to a  working capital  deficit of  $3,284,900 at
January 3,  1996. The  decrease in  the working capital deficit during
the first  six months  in 1996  was due primarily to proceeds from the
sale of  a building  previously  owned  by  the  Company's  Wrangler's
Roadhouse subsidiary  and to  net earnings  generated in the first six
months of 1996.

     Cash  provided   by  operating   activities  increased  11.4%  to
$1,769,500 in the first six months of 1996 from $1,589,000 in the same
period of  1995. This  increase is  primarily  due  to  reductions  in
accrued liabilities  as a  result of  timing differences  in  payments
which occurred in 1995.

      The Company spent approximately $388,200 in the first six months
of 1996 for restaurant renovation and equipment.  Capital expenditures
for 1996 and 1997, based on present costs and plans for expansion, are
estimated to  be $750,000 (not including the sales-leaseback financing
for the  new restaurant as discussed above) and $900,000 respectively.
The Company  projects that  cash generated  from  operations  will  be
sufficient to fund these improvements.

     In March  1995, the  Company entered into an Amended and Restated
Note Agreement,  dated as  of February  1, 1995,  with  The  Travelers
Insurance  Company   and  certain   of  its   affiliates  (the   "Note
Agreement"), pursuant  to which  existing notes  of the  Company  were
renewed, amended  and restated (as amended and restated, the "Notes").
In August 1995, the Note Agreement was sold to Cerberus Partners, L.P.
The Notes  are due  May 30,  1998 and  provide for an interest rate of
9.0% and  principal payments of $65,000 per month. As of July 3, 1996,
the outstanding balance due under the Notes was $11,217,800.

     The Note  Agreement includes detachable Warrants for purchases of
up to  1,750,000 shares  of the  Company's common stock at an exercise
price of  $.40 per share. The Notes are secured by second mortgages on
twenty-two Company  restaurant properties. The Note Agreement provides
for various covenants including prepayment options, the maintenance of
prescribed debt  service coverages,  limitations on the declaration of
cash dividends, sale of assets, and certain other restrictions.





     Also in  March 1995  the Company  entered  into  an  Amended  and
Restated Loan  Agreement with  The Daiwa Bank, Limited, and SouthTrust
Bank of  Alabama, National Association (the "Bank Loan") which extends
the maturity  date of  the Bank Loan until May 30, 1998. The Bank Loan
bears interest  at prime  rate  plus  0.50%,  with  monthly  principal
payments of $41,250 beginning April 1, 1995 ($67,100 prior to April 1,
1995). The  Bank Loan  is secured  by first mortgages on twenty-two of
the  Company's   restaurant  properties,   and  provides  for  various
covenants substantially  consistent with  those of the Note Agreement.
As of  July 3,  1996, the  outstanding balance under the Bank Loan was
$3,915,500.

Impact of Inflation

     Costs of food, beverage, and labor are the expenses most affected
by inflation  in the  Company's business.   Although inflation has not
had a  significant impact  on the Company in the past, there can be no
assurance that  it will  not in the future.   A significant portion of
the  Company's   employees  are  paid  at  the  federally  established
statutory minimum  wage. On  August 8,  1996, President Clinton signed
into law  a bill  which will raise the federally mandated minimum wage
by $.50  per hour  on October  1, 1996,  and by an additional $.40 per
hour on September 1, 1997.

     The Company will raise sales prices in order to offset the effect
of higher  payroll and  benefit costs.  Sales  prices  have  not  been
increased to  date in  1996, but  were increased approximately 2.5% in
1995.

     THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), made and entered

     5.2  Termination for Cause.  This Agreement may be terminated
for cause as follows:

     (a)  At the election of the Company, upon Employee's breach of
any material provision of this Agreement;

     (b)  At the election of Employee, upon the Company's breach of
any material provision of this Agreement;

     (c)  Upon the death of Employee;

     (d)  At the election of either party, upon the total
disability of Employee to perform his normal duties for a period of
one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days, but only after the
Company provides ten (10) days' prior written notice to Employee;

     (e)  At the election of the Company, upon the indictment of
Employee or upon Employee entering a plea of guilty or nolo
contendere to the alleged commission by Employee, as principal,
accomplice or accessory, of a crime involving moral turpitude, or
an act of fraud, embezzlement or dishonesty; or

     (f)  At the election of the Company, upon the occurrence of
gross or willful misconduct by Employee in the performance of his
responsibilities hereunder during the course of employment.

In the event that the Company or the Employee elects to terminate
this Agreement because of a breach of any material provision hereof
pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Subsection 5.2,
respectively, the party electing to terminate this Agreement shall
give at least fourteen (14) days written notice to the other party
or its intention to terminate this Agreement, which notice shall
specify the breach of this Agreement upon which such termination is
based, and no such termination shall occur if the other party cures
the breach so specified within said fourteen (14) day period,
except that a party shall only have the opportunity to cure a
breach of a material provision on two occasions and thereafter that
party need not be given the opportunity to cure any further
material breaches.

     All obligations of the Company under this Agreement, including
obligations under the stock option agreement contained in Section
3 hereof, shall immediately cease upon termination of this
Agreement by the Company for cause by the Company.

     5.3  Termination Without Cause.  Either party may terminate
this Agreement without cause upon giving 30 days written notice to
the other. If the Company elects to terminate this Agreement
without cause, then the parties agree that Employee shall be
entitled to receive, in a lump sum, the payments due him under
Section 4.1 for the remaining term of this Agreement, which amount
shall be in full satisfaction of any and all claims of Employee as
a result of his employment by the Company.  Should the Employee
elect to terminate this Agreement without cause prior to the
expiration hereof, then all obligations of the Company hereunder
shall cease as of the date of termination.

     Section 6. Notice.  All notices provided for herein shall be

time and shall not prevent such party from insisting on the strict
compliance with and performance of such terms and conditions at any
later time.

parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and there
