                 Hudson's Grill Announces The Opening
                  of Its First Franchise in Michigan

Jackson Becomes the Home of the First Hudson's Grill in Michigan

Monday, September 21, 1998

Dallas, TX -- Hudson's Grill of America, Inc., based in Dallas,
Texas, announced today that the first Hudson's Grill restaurant in
Michigan opened on September 14, 1998, in Jackson, a regional hub
located about an hour outside of Detroit.  The Hudson's Grill
restaurant is based on the Company's new design for stand alone
units. Hudson's Grill of Jackson, Inc., is the Company's first
franchisee in Michigan, whose principals are F. Mark Myers and
Tammy Myers. In its first week of operation, the unit has already
become a local destination point.

     "We are extremely pleased with the first week's performance
of Jackson Hudson's Grill," said David Osborn, President of
Hudson's Grill of America, Inc., "and we look forward to continued
growth as more and more people in the Jackson area learn of the
Hudson's Grill.  We believe this unit will be one of the strongest
in our system."

     The new restaurant is based upon the Company's new 4567
square foot, freestanding, prototype design that uses its "BURGERS
* SHAKES * ROCK  n' ROLL" Americana "late 50's and early 60's"
theme.  Currently, two other restaurants that incorporate the
Company's new design are under construction in Dallas, Texas, and
Marquette, Michigan.

     The Company also announced that construction on the
Richardson (Dallas), Texas, Hudson's Grill, is now almost
complete.  The restaurant is currently scheduled to open in mid to
late October.  

     Also, as a result of the Company's annual meeting in May, the
shareholders elected David L. Osborn, Thomas A. Sacco, and Robert
W. Fischer to be directors.  At the same meeting, the shareholders
voted to ratify the transfer of most of the Company's assets to
its subsidiary, Hudson's Grill International, Inc.  The
shareholders also voted to give the directors the choice to
register the shares of Hudson's Grill International, and the
choice to distribute the shares to the shareholders of the
Company.
   
                                   
    Hudson's Grills of America is celebrating its 14th year of
operation, and the company is publicly traded over the counter
under the NASDAQ symbol HDSG.
