Dear Fellow Shareholder (Family Steak Houses of Florida, Inc.),

                DON'T CARE?    NOT GOING TO ACT? 
          Why did you buy your shares?  To MAKE MONEY?


                         WE CAN HELP!  

But we can't help until you send in your gold card, signed, dated
and marked consent.


                       DON'T WANT TO SELL?

Sending in your gold consent card doesn't mean you are selling your
shares.  It only votes to remove the shareholder restrictions
imposed by the Board without your consent.


                     CONFUSED OR UNDECIDED?

Send in your gold card (dated and signed), and you will be voting
against shareholder restrictions.


If you don't take any action, you will be voting for these
restrictions, including the "Poison Pill".  Don't let Mr.
Christman's scare tactics effect you.


                            URGENT!!!

The support we have received for our proposals, from those of you
who have voted, is very gratifying.  However, too many of you have
not voted at all.  Please vote today; it's your right!  Only you
last vote will count.


Sincerely,



Glen F. Ceiley
President and CEO

PURCHASE YOUR SHARES, but we need those gold cards first.


Respectfully,



Glen F. Ceiley
