              O'CHARLEY'S INC. TO ESTABLISH SHARED SERVICES CENTER
           BACK OFFICE CONSOLIDATION TO FURTHER ENHANCE MULTI-CONCEPT
                             SUPPORT INFRASTRUCTURE

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (June 13, 2005) -- O'Charley's Inc. (NASDAQ/NM: CHUX), a
leading casual dining restaurant company, announced today that as part of its
previously disclosed financial systems conversion project, it plans to
consolidate its financial and accounting operations and upgrade its accounting
systems. Once the project is completed, all accounting and payroll activities
currently performed at the Woburn, Massachusetts, offices of Ninety Nine
Restaurant and Pub will be performed at a shared services center that will be
established at the Company's offices in Nashville, Tennessee. The consolidation
will include the elimination of approximately 18 to 20 positions from the Woburn
office.

         John Grady, concept president of Ninety Nine Restaurant and Pub stated,
"The establishment of the shared services center and consolidation of back
office functions is a sound business decision as we integrate our concept and
the O'Charley's Inc. corporate family. This transition will impact several
long-term Ninety Nine employees in our accounting and finance teams. We
appreciate these individuals' years of hard work and dedication, and we have
made certain that they will be treated fairly during this transition. The new
shared services center in Nashville will enable our management and restaurant
co-workers to focus on what is most important to us - making sure our customers
receive the great food and service they have come to expect from the Ninety
Nine."

         The Company expects to recognize severance and other project-related
expenses of approximately $0.01 to $0.02 per diluted share in the second quarter
of 2005 and approximately $0.03 to $0.05 per diluted share during fiscal 2005
relating to the consolidation of accounting and payroll activities and for
additional project-related expenses. These expenses were not reflected in the
Company's guidance issued on May 11, 2005, for the second quarter of 2005 or the
full fiscal year ending December 25, 2005.

         O'Charley's Inc. operates 226 company-owned O'Charley's restaurants in
16 states in the Southeast and Midwest, and has three franchised O'Charley's
restaurants in Michigan and one joint venture O'Charley's restaurant in
Louisiana. The menu, with an emphasis on fresh preparation, features several
specialty items such as hand-cut and aged steaks, a variety of seafood and
chicken, freshly baked yeast rolls, fresh-cut salads with special-recipe salad
dressings and signature caramel pie. The Company also operates Ninety Nine
Restaurant and Pub restaurants in 101 locations throughout Connecticut, Maine,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont. Ninety Nine
has earned a strong reputation for providing generous portions of high-quality
food at moderate prices in a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere. The menu features
a wide selection of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, burgers, entrees and
desserts. In addition, the Company operates six Stoney River Legendary Steaks
restaurants in Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky and Tennessee. The dinner-only
steakhouse concept appeals to both upscale casual dining and fine dining
customers by offering high-quality food and attentive customer service typical
of high-end steakhouses at more moderate prices.
