BIG BUCK BREWERY & STEAKHOUSE ISSUES CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED PROMISSORY NOTES

     GAYLORD, Mich., Oct. 25 - Big Buck Brewery & Steakhouse, Inc. today
announced that it has issued an aggregate of $650,000 principal amount of
convertible subordinated promissory notes in a private placement to four
accredited investors.  Each unsecured one-year note bears interest at the rate
of 10% per year and may be converted, prior to maturity and at the option of the
holder, into shares of common stock.  The number of shares issuable upon
conversion is equal to the unpaid principal balance of the note divided by the
average of the closing sale price of one share of Big Buck's common stock for
the five trading days immediately prior to execution of the note.

     Big Buck may issue up to an additional $350,000 principal amount of such
notes.  Big Buck plans to use the proceeds from the private placement for the
repayment of existing indebtedness and for working capital purposes.

     The notes and the shares issuable upon conversion of the notes have not
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and have not been registered
under any state securities laws.  They may not be offered or sold absent
registration under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities laws
or applicable exemptions from federal and state registration requirements.
