PROXY STATEMENT
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD JUNE 2, 2000

This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy card, Notice of Annual
Meeting of Stockholders and letter to stockholders are first being mailed to
holders (the "Stockholders") of the common stock, par value $.001 per share (the
"Common Stock"), of U.S. Restaurant Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation
(the "Company"), on or about April 24, 2000, in connection with the solicitation
of proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board of
Directors") to be exercised at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the
"Meeting") to be held at Hotel Inter-Continental, 15201 Dallas Parkway, Dallas,
Texas, on Friday, June 2, 2000, at 10:00 a.m.

At the Meeting, the Stockholders will be asked to consider and vote on
the following proposals (collectively, the "Proposals"):

(1) The election of eight directors to hold office for one-year
terms expiring at the 2001 annual meeting of stockholders;

(2) The approval and ratification of the selection of Deloitte &
Touche LLP ("Deloitte & Touche") by the Board of Directors as
independent auditors for the Company for the fiscal year
ending December 31, 2000; and

(3) Such other business as may properly come before the Meeting.

The Board of Directors does not know of any other matter that is to come before
the Meeting. If any other matters are properly presented for consideration,
however, the persons authorized by the enclosed proxy will have discretion to
vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.

Only Stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 14,
2000 (the "Record Date") are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting or
any adjournments thereof. As of the close of business on the Record Date, there
were 15,373,103 shares of Common Stock, issued and outstanding and entitled to
vote. The Common Stock constitutes the only class of capital stock of the
Company issued and outstanding entitled to vote at the Meeting. Each Stockholder
of record on the Record Date is entitled to one vote for each share of Common
Stock held. A majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, represented in
person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum at the Meeting; however, if a
quorum is not present or represented at the Meeting, the Stockholders entitled
to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, have the power to
adjourn the Meeting from time to time, without notice, other than by
announcement at the Meeting, until a quorum is present or represented. At any
such adjourned

Meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be
transacted that might have been transacted at the original Meeting.

Each share of Common Stock may be voted to elect up to eight
individuals (the number of directors to be elected) as directors of the Company.
To be elected, each nominee for director must receive a plurality of the votes
cast by the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at a meeting at which a
quorum is present. It is intended that, unless authorization to vote for one or
more nominees for director is withheld, proxies will be voted FOR the election
of all of the nominees named in this Proxy Statement. Approval of a majority of
the shares of Common Stock represented and voting at the Meeting will be
necessary for the ratification of the Board of Directors' selection of Deloitte
& Touche as independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000.

Votes cast by proxy or in person will be counted by two persons
appointed by the Company to act as inspectors for the Meeting. The election
inspectors will treat shares represented by proxies that reflect abstentions as
shares that are present and entitled to vote for the purpose of determining the
presence of a quorum. For purposes of the Proposals to elect directors, and
ratify Deloitte & Touche, abstentions will not be counted as votes cast and will
have no effect on the result of the vote on such Proposals.

Broker non-votes occur where a broker holding stock in street name
votes the shares on some matters but not others. Brokers are permitted to vote
on routine, non-controversial proposals in instances where they have not
received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the stock but are not
permitted to vote on non-routine matters. The missing votes on non-routine
matters are deemed to be "broker non-votes." The election inspectors will treat
broker non-votes as shares that are present and entitled to vote for the purpose
of determining the presence of a quorum.

After reviewing the information contained in this Proxy Statement and
in the Annual Report outlining the Company's operations for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1999 (included with this Proxy Statement), stockholders are
urged to sign the accompanying form of proxy, solicited on behalf of the Board
of Directors, and return it immediately in the envelope provided for that
purpose. Valid proxies will be voted at the Meeting and any adjournment or
adjournments thereof in the manner specified therein. If no directions are given
but proxies are executed in the manner set forth therein, such proxies will be
voted FOR the election of the nominees for director set forth in this Proxy
Statement and FOR the ratification of the selection of Deloitte & Touche as the
Company's independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000. Any
Stockholder returning the accompanying proxy may revoke such proxy at any time
prior to its exercise by providing written notice to the Secretary of the
Company of such revocation, voting in person at the Meeting or executing and
delivering, to the Secretary of the Company, a later-dated proxy.

Each of the directors and executive officers of the Company has
informed the Company that he will vote all of his shares of Common Stock in
favor of all of the Proposals.

and Treasurer of the Company and will be paid an annual base salary of $250,000.
The Employment Agreement provides for salary raises at the discretion of the

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
ON EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

The following report of the Compensation Committee of the Company's
Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee") and the performance graph that
appears immediately after such report shall not be deemed to be soliciting
material or filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC') under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "Exchange Act), or incorporated by reference in any document so
filed.

GENERAL

The Compensation Committee recommends to the Board of Directors the
compensation of the executive officers of the Company and administers the Plan
and any other employee benefit plans established by the Company. The
Compensation Committee reviews the overall compensation program of the Company
to assure that it is reasonable and, in consideration of all of the facts
including practices of comparably sized real estate investment trusts,
adequately recognizes performance tied to creating stockholder value and meets
overall Company compensation and business objectives. The Compensation
Committee's philosophy for compensating executive officers is that an
incentive-based compensation system tied to the Company's financial performance
and stockholder return will best align the interest of its executive officers
with the objectives of the Company and its stockholders. The Compensation
Committee attempts to promote financial and operational success by attracting,
motivating and assisting in the retention of key employees who demonstrate the
highest levels of ability and talent. The Compensation Committee has determined
that the Company's compensation program should reward performance measured by
the creation of value for stockholders. In accordance with this philosophy, the
Compensation Committee oversees the implementation of the compensation system
designed to meet the Company's financial objectives by making a significant
portion of an executive officer's compensation dependent upon both the Company's
and such executive's performance. The Company's executive compensation program
consists of the following elements: (i) a base salary, which results from an
assessment of each executive's level of responsibility and experience,
individual performance and contributions to the Company; (ii) annual incentives
that are directly related to the performance of the executive's department and
the financial performance of the Company as a whole; and (iii) subject to the
provisions of the Flexible Incentive Plan previously approved by the
Stockholders, grants of stock options designed to motivate individuals to
enhance long-term profitability of the Company and the value of the Common
Stock. The Compensation Committee does not allocate a fixed percentage to each
of these three elements, but works with management to design compensation
structures which will best serve its goals.

BASE SALARY

Mr. Margolin has entered into an employment agreement with the Company,
which employment agreement is described under the caption "Employment
Agreements" contained in this Proxy Statement. Pursuant to the terms of his
employment agreement, Mr. Margolin's base salary is set for the term of the
agreement. Recommendations for compensation of the executive officers, other
than Mr. Margolin, are provided by the Chief Executive Officer after annual
evaluations of individual contributions to the business of the Company are held
with each such executive officer. Factors considered by the Compensation
Committee in setting base salaries include the performance of the Company,
measured by both financial and non-financial objectives, individual
accomplishments, any planned change of responsibility for the forthcoming year,
salaries paid for similar positions within the real estate and REIT industry as
published in industry statistical surveys and proposed base salary relative to
that of other executive officers. The predominating factor is the performance of
the Company. The application of the remaining factors is subjective, with no
particular factor being given more weight than any other.

14

ANNUAL INCENTIVES

Executives are also eligible for annual incentive awards, which awards
are designed to place a significant part of an executive's annual compensation
at risk. The Executive Officers will participate in a bonus incentive program
under which the individual executives are eligible for annual cash bonuses. No
bonuses were paid by the Company to the Executive Officers other than Mr.
Margolin and Mr. Warren for the year ended December 31, 1999. The Compensation
Committee anticipates that future bonuses will be determined on the basis of a
comparison of actual performance against pre-established performance goals, for
the Company and will be, in part, based on the discretion of the Compensation
Committee.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVES

In keeping with the Compensation Committee's philosophy to provide
long-term incentives to executive officers and other key employees, subject to
Stockholder approval of the Plan, stock options are anticipated to be granted to
executive officers and other key employees on a periodic basis. The Committee
establishes the number of options granted based upon REIT industry data and upon
each individual's base salary.

CEO PERFORMANCE EVALUATION

The Compensation Committee recommends to the Board of Directors for its
approval the compensation for all executives, including the Chief Executive
Officer. Mr. Margolin has an employment agreement with the Company that provides
for his base salary to be set at $250,000, subject to annual review by the
Compensation Committee. In 1999, the Company paid Mr. Margolin $250,000 and paid
him a bonus of $50,000.

TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The Compensation Committee is aware of the tax law which makes certain
"non-performance based" compensation to certain executive officers in excess of
$1,000,000 non-deductible to the Company. While none of the Executive Officers
of the Company currently receives performance-based compensation at or near the
$1,000,000 maximum, the Compensation Committee has carefully considered the
impact of these tax provisions and has taken steps which are designed to
minimize its future effect, if any.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

In connection with the conversion of the Company from a master limited
partnership to a REIT, QSV withdrew as general partner of each of USRP and US
Restaurant Properties Operating L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") effective as
of October 15, 1997, and USRP Managing was substituted as general partner of
each of USRP and the Operating Partnership. In conjunction with such withdrawal,
QSV (i) converted its interests in (a) its allocable share of income, profits,
losses and distributions of the Operating Partnership as general partner thereof
and (b) fees and disbursements for the acquisition and management of the
Operating Partnership's properties (together, the "Operating Partnership General
Partner Interest") payable to it pursuant to the terms of the partnership
agreement of the Operating Partnership and (ii) converted its general partner
interest in USRP (the "USRP Interest") (together with the conversion of its
interests in the Operating Partnership described above, the "Termination") for
1,148,418 Operating Partnership Units and 126,582 shares of Common Stock,
respectively, and as a result of such conversion will be eligible to receive
additional consideration in the year 2000 (together, the "Acquisition Price").

The Acquisition Price consists of two components: (i) the initial share
consideration (the "Initial Share Consideration") and (ii) the contingent share
consideration (the "Contingent Share Consideration"). The Initial Share
Consideration was paid in the form of 1,148,418 Operating Partnership Units in
exchange for the Operating Partnership General Partner Interest and 126,582
shares of Common Stock (1% of all shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
following the Merger) issued by the Company at the effective time of the Merger
in exchange for the USRP Interest. The Contingent Share Consideration is equal
to the value of up to 825,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment in
the event of certain dilutive events), and will consist of Operating Partnership
Units (the "Contingent Shares"). The exact number of Contingent Shares to be
issued will be determined by dividing the amount by which MGP Net Income exceeds
$3,612,500 by $2.83. MGP Net Income is defined as the fees and distributions in
excess of $3,612,500 which would otherwise have been payable to QSV for fiscal
year ended December 31, 2000 pursuant to the Operating Partnership General
Partner Interest and the USRP Interest less $775,000. QSV will not receive any
distributions with respect to the Contingent Shares, or otherwise have any
rights with respect thereto, until they are issued. The Contingent Shares shall
be issued by the Operating Partnership as soon as practicable following the end
of the year 2000, but in no event later than March 31, 2001. The Company
anticipates that all of the Contingent Shares will be issued, and in light of
that, the Company has recorded as of December 31, 1998 and 1999, an expense of
$12,047,000 and income of $239,000, respectively, as the cost of issuance of
Contingent Shares accruable as of that date.

The Acquisition Price was determined through negotiations between
management of QSV, the then managing general partner of USRP, the Company's
predecessor, and a special committee (the "Special Committee") of the board of
directors of the managing general partner, consisting solely of directors who
were neither officers nor stockholders of QSV. The structure of the Acquisition
Price was adopted as a result of the Special Committee's desire to protect the
stockholders of the Company from being diluted by the issuance of the share
consideration. This structure also enabled the Special Committee to establish a
price to be paid for the management contract which was to be terminated and
QSV's interest in USRP. The Special Committee was appointed to address any
potential conflicts of interest.

17

The Special Committee engaged Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc. ("Morgan
Keegan"), an investment banking firm that regularly renders valuations of
businesses and securities in connection with business combinations, as its
financial advisor. The Special Committee and management of QSV conducted
negotiations, with Morgan Keegan's input, from December 30, 1996 to February 5,
1997, when the Special Committee determined to accept the Acquisition Price. The
Special Committee based its determination on the following factors:

1. The Morgan Keegan fairness opinion received at the February 5, 1997
meeting of the Special Committee.

2. The structure of the Acquisition Price, as QSV would receive all or a
portion of the contingent shares if and only if the MGP Net Income for
the year ending December 31, 2000 reached or exceeded certain levels.
As a result, the contingent share portion of the Acquisition Price
provided for a mechanism for the consideration to be paid by the
Company to correlate to the obligations of which the Company was being
relieved.

3. The maximum number of contingent shares that could be issued was
capped.

In addition, as of March 31, 2000 QSV holds options (the "Options") to
purchase 110,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to an Option Agreement dated
March 24, 1995, by and between USRP and QSV, which Options were assumed by the
Company pursuant to the Merger. All of the Options are fully vested and
exercisable. The Options are exercisable at an exercise price of $10.33 per
share. The Options are not transferable except by operation of law pursuant to a
consolidation, merger, recapitalization or reorganization of QSV.

Robert J. Stetson owns a 30% interest in QSV and is a director of the
Company. Fred H. Margolin owns a 30% interest in QSV and is the Chairman of the
Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer, President, Secretary and a director
of the Company, David K. Rolph and Darrel L. Rolph, each own a 20% interest in
QSV and are directors of the Company.

In connection with Mr. Stetson's resignation as Chief Executive Officer
and President of the Company, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement
and Consulting Agreement with Mr. Stetson as of October 6, 1999. Pursuant to the
Consulting Agreement, Mr. Stetson is employed as a consultant to the Company for
a period of one (1) year, ending on October 6, 2000, unless terminated by the
Company pursuant to the terms of that agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the
Settlement Agreement, the Company paid to Mr. Stetson severance compensation in
the amount of $750,000, terminated all of the options previously granted to Mr.
Stetson pursuant to the Company's 1997 Flexible Incentive Plan and agreed to
provide Mr. Stetson one or more loans, up to the aggregate of $800,000, for the
sole purpose of acquiring shares of the Company's common stock from time to time
in the open market.

Audit Committee, Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company's independent auditors for

To the Company's knowledge, based solely on the review of the copies of
such reports furnished to the Company and written representations that no other

Company's officers, directors and 10% stockholders complied with all Section
