                             LOGAN'S ROADHOUSE, INC.

                                  COMMON STOCK

                  This Reoffer Prospectus (the "Prospectus") is being used in
connection with the reoffer or resale of shares of Common Stock, par value $.01
per share (the "Common Stock"), of Logan's Roadhouse, Inc., a Tennessee
corporation (the "Company"), by certain "affiliates" (as such term is defined in
Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act")) and employees of the Company (the "Selling Shareholders") who
hold shares of Common Stock issued under the Company's 1995 Incentive
Stock Plan, as amended (the "Incentive Plan") and 1995 Non-Employee Director
Stock Option Plan, as amended (the "Director Plan") (collectively, the "Plans"),
which shares constitute "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144(a)(3)

                  The shares may be offered by the Selling Shareholders from
time to time in transactions through the Nasdaq Stock Market's National Market
(the "Nasdaq National Market"), in negotiated transactions, through the writing
of options on the shares, or a combination of such methods of sale, at prices
related to prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices. The Selling
Shareholders may effect such transactions by selling the shares to or through
broker-dealers, and such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of
discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Shareholders and/or the
purchasers of the shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent or to
whom they sell as principal, or both (which compensation as to a particular
broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions).

                  None of the proceeds from the sale of the shares by any of the
Selling Shareholders will be received by the Company. The Company has agreed to
bear all expenses (other than underwriting discounts and selling commissions,
and fees and expenses of counsel and other advisors to the Selling Shareholders)
in connection with the registration of the shares being offered by such Selling
Shareholders.

(2) Computation based upon 7,144,829 shares outstanding on February 28, 1998.
(3) Includes 3,000 shares beneficially owned by Mr. Moats's sons. Mr. Moats
    disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares.

   
                  The preceding table reflects all Affiliates who are eligible
to reoffer and resell Common Stock, whether or not they have a present intent to
do so. At the date of this Prospectus, the Company does not know the names of
any persons who intend to resell shares of Common Stock of the Company acquired
pursuant to the Plans. There can be no assurance that any of the Selling
Shareholders will sell any or all of the Common Stock offered by them hereunder.
The Selling Shareholders will be either (a) employees or executive officers of
the Company or its subsidiaries who have been or may be granted options to
purchase the Company's Common Stock under the Incentive Plan or (b) non-employee
directors of the Company who have been or may be granted options to purchase
shares of the Company's Common Stock under the Director Plan. The Company will
supplement this Prospectus with the names of the Selling Shareholders not shown
in the table above and the amount of shares of Common Stock to be reoffered by
them as that information becomes known, unless such Selling Shareholders are not
"affiliates" of the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act and are
selling no more than the lesser of 1,000 shares or one percent of the shares
issuable under the applicable Plan.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

         The shares of Common Stock being offered by the Selling Shareholders
are offered for their own accounts. The Company will not receive any of the
proceeds from any eventual sales of such shares of Common Stock. The shares may
be offered by the Selling Shareholders from time to time in transactions through
the Nasdaq National Market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of
options on the shares, or a combination of such methods of sale, at prices
related to prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices. The Selling
Shareholders may effect such transactions by selling the shares to or through
broker-dealers, and such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of
discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Shareholders and/or the
purchasers of the shares for which such broker-dealers may act as agent or to
whom they sell as principal, or both (which compensation as to a particular
broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions).


                                  LEGAL MATTERS

         Certain legal matters with respect to the validity of the shares of
Common Stock offered hereby have been passed upon by Waller Lansden Dortch &
Davis, A Professional Limited Liability Company, Nashville, Tennessee, counsel
to the Company.

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

      (a) The TBCA provides that a corporation may indemnify any of its
directors against liability incurred in connection with a proceeding if (i) the
director acted in good faith, (ii) in the case of conduct in his or her official
capacity with the corporation, the director reasonably believed such conduct was
in the corporation's best interest, (iii) in all other cases, the director
reasonably believed that his or her conduct was not opposed to the best interest
of the corporation, and (iv) in connection with any criminal proceeding, the
director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was
unlawful. In actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, however, the
TBCA provides that no indemnification may be made if the director was adjudged
to be liable to the corporation. In cases where the director is wholly
successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding
instigated because of his or her status as a director of a corporation, the TBCA
mandates that the corporation indemnify the director against reasonable expenses
incurred in the proceeding. The TBCA also provides that in connection with any
proceeding charging improper benefit to a director, no indemnification may be
made if such director is adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was
improperly received. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the TBCA provides that a
court of competent jurisdiction, upon application, may order that a director be
indemnified for reasonable expense if, in consideration of all relevant
circumstances, the court determines that such individual is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnification, whether or not the standard of conduct
set forth above was met.

      (b) Paragraph 8 of the Registrant's Amended and Restated Charter and
Article 8 of the Registrant's Bylaws provide as follows:

          (i) The Company shall indemnify, and upon request shall advance
         expenses to, in the manner and to the full extent permitted by law, any
         officer or director (or the estate of any such person) who was or is a
         party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, any threatened,
         pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
         criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise, by reason of the
         fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company,
         or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director,
         officer, partner, trustee or employee of another corporation,
         partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (an
         "indemnitee"). The Company may, to the full extent permitted by law,
         purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any such person against
         any liability which may be asserted against him or her. To the full
         extent permitted by law, the indemnification and advances provided for
         herein shall include expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments,
         fines and amounts paid in settlement. The indemnification provided
         herein shall not be deemed to limit the right of the Company to
         indemnify any other person for any such expenses (including attorneys'
         fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the full
         extent permitted by law, both as to action in his official capacity and
         as to action in another capacity while holding such office.
         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not indemnify any such
         indemnitee (1) in any proceeding by the Company against such
         indemnitee; or (2) if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to
         the indemnitee establishes his liability for (A) any breach of the duty
         of loyalty to the Company or its 

                                      II-2


   13

         shareholders, (B) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
         intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, or (C) unlawful
         distributions under Section 48-18-304 of the Act.

             (ii)  The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses
         set forth in Article 8(i) above are intended to be greater than those
         which are otherwise provided for in the Act, are contractual between
         the Company and the person being indemnified, his heirs, executors and
         administrators, and with respect to Article 8(i), are mandatory,
         notwithstanding a person's failure to meet the standard of conduct
         required for permissive indemnification under the Act, as amended from
         time to time. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses
         set forth in Article 8(i) above are nonexclusive of other similar
         rights which may be granted by law, the Charter, the Bylaws, a
         resolution of the board of directors or shareholders of the Company, or
         an agreement with the Company, which means of indemnification and
         advancement of expenses are hereby specifically authorized.

             (iii) Any repeal or modification of the provisions of this
         Article 8, either directly or by the adoption of an inconsistent
         provision of the Charter or the Bylaws, shall not adversely affect any
         right or protection set forth herein existing in favor of a particular
         individual at the time of such repeal or modification. In addition, if
         an amendment to the Act limits or restricts in any way the
         indemnification rights permitted by law as of the date hereof, such
         amendment shall apply only to the extent mandated by law and only to
         activities of persons subject to indemnification under this Article 8
         which occur subsequent to the effective date of such amendment.

         (c) The Company has obtained insurance which provides general coverage
for its directors and executive officers in amounts of $3,000,000 per claim and
$3,000,000 for annual aggregate claims. In addition, the Company has obtained
insurance coverage for its directors and executive officers in amounts of
$5,000,000 per claim and $5,000,000 for annual aggregate claims with respect to
the Company's initial public offering of its Common Stock.

ITEM 7.  EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

             Shares of Common Stock previously issued under either the Incentive
Plan or the Director Plan, including the granting of options to purchase shares
of Common Stock, were so issued or granted in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act and, in some cases, Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities
Act.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.

        (a)      The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

                  (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

        (i)       To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the 
                  Securities Act of 1933;

        (ii)      To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
                  the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most
                  recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually
                  or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
                  information set forth in the Registration Statement.

        (iii)     To include any material information with respect to the plan
                  of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration
                  Statement or any material change to such information in the
                  Registration Statement.

        provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply
if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement.

                  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be


                                       II-4
   15
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                  (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

        (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

        (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
