  CBRL GROUP, INC. ANNOUNCES 18.9% INCREASE IN DILUTED NET INCOME PER SHARE FOR
                          SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2005
                Provides Guidance for Fiscal 2005 Third Quarter;
               Announces Change in Accounting for Certain Leases;
            Implements Previously Announced Change in Accounting for
                          Contingently Convertible Debt

LEBANON,  Tenn. (February 17, 2005) -- CBRL Group, Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ:
CBRL)  today  announced  results  for its second  quarter  of fiscal  2005 ended
January 28,  2005,  reporting  diluted  net income per share of $0.63,  an 18.9%
increase  from a restated  $0.53 in the second  quarter  of fiscal  2004.  These
results included the effect of implementing  the previously  announced change in
accounting  for the  Company's  contingently  convertible  debt as  required  by
Emerging  Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 04-8, as well as restating  results
for a change in  accounting  for  certain  leases.  The Company  also  announced
results for the six-month period ended January 28, 2005.

         Highlights of the fiscal 2005  second-quarter and year-to-date  results
         include:
         o Diluted  net income  per share for the  second  quarter  was up 18.9%
           and net  income was up  13.7% from the  estimated  restated  year-ago
           quarter on an 8.9% increase in total revenue.
         o Comparable  store restaurant sales for the second fiscal quarter were
           up  3.2%  for  the  Company's  Cracker  Barrel  Old  County  Store(R)
           ("Cracker Barrel")  operations,  and comparable store retail sales at
           Cracker Barrel were down 0.3%.
         o Comparable  restaurant sales for  the second  fiscal quarter  were up
           4.4% in the Company's Logan's  Roadhouse(R)  ("Logan's") restaurants.
         o Operating  income margin  increased to 7.7% of total revenue for the
           second fiscal quarter from 7.6% in the year-ago quarter as restated.
         o Year-to-date  net cash  provided by  operating  activities  of $137.4
           million  up  sharply  from  $76.6  million  of net cash  provided  by
           operating activities in the comparable period of fiscal 2004.
         o Repurchase  of  approximately  1.2  million  shares of the  Company's
           outstanding  common stock in the second quarter brought  year-to-date
           repurchases to approximately 2.3 million shares.
         o The quarter and year to date are the first  periods when present year
           and historical results are restated to reflect a previously announced
           change in  accounting  for the effect on diluted net income per share
           from the  adoption  of EITF  04-8,  and for  adoption  of a change in
           accounting for lease expense.

Second-Quarter Fiscal 2005 Results

     Total  revenue  for the second  fiscal  quarter  ended  January 28, 2005 of
$667.2 million increased 8.9% from the second fiscal quarter of 2004. Comparable
store  restaurant  sales for the second  quarter for the Cracker  Barrel concept
increased  3.2%,  including  a 4.1%  higher  average  check but 0.9% lower guest
traffic.  Cracker  Barrel's average menu price increase for the full quarter was
approximately  3.1%,  including  approximately  1.7% in menu  pricing  taken  in
January of last year and lapped  during  January  this  year.  Comparable  store
retail  sales  at  Cracker  Barrel  decreased  0.3%  for  the  quarter.  Logan's
comparable  restaurant  sales  for the  quarter  were up 4.4% as  average  check
increased 4.0% and guest traffic increased 0.4%.  Logan's carried  approximately
3.3% of menu price increase during the quarter.  During the quarter, the Company
opened  five  new  Cracker  Barrel  units,  four  new  company-operated  Logan's
locations and two new franchised Logan's restaurants.

     The Company  reported  net income for the second  quarter of fiscal 2005 of
$32.6  million,  or $0.63 per diluted share,  up 13.7% and 18.9%,  respectively,
from  estimated  restated  net income of $28.6  million and  estimated  restated
diluted net income per share of $0.53 for the second  quarter of fiscal 2004. In
the second  quarter,  the  Company has  determined  that it is likely to incur a
lower income tax rate than it  previously  expected  for fiscal 2005,  primarily
reflecting higher than expected tax credits under certain federal  jobs-creation
provisions.  The 34.2% rate reflected in the second quarter  includes a catch-up
effect,  so that the 34.6% rate  year-to-date  reflects  the  Company's  present
expectation  of its  effective  tax rate for the full  year.  The  Company  also
repurchased  approximately  1.2 million  shares of its common  stock  during the
quarter for approximately $47.2 million.

     The Company announced that its results  reflected  certain  restatements of
historical period results.  As announced in its November 18, 2004 press release,
the Company's  second-quarter  diluted net income per share calculation includes
the effect of implementing  EITF Issue No. 04-8,  which requires  accounting for
the Company's  contingently  convertible  debt using  "if-converted"  accounting
regardless of whether the  contingency  allowing debt holders to convert is met.
As previously  announced,  the Company  implemented the rule change in reporting
its second fiscal quarter results, and it has restated previous years to reflect
the effect of the rule change on prior  periods.  Additionally,  the Company has
changed its current and historical accounting for certain leases to conform with
changes  recently  adopted  by  numerous  other  public  companies.   A  further
discussion of this change and the related  restatement of historical results are
included  below.  Tables are provided at the end of this press release that show
estimated  restated quarterly and full-year results for the affected periods for
both changes in accounting.

     Operating income for the second quarter increased 10.1% from the prior year
and was 7.7% of total  revenue  compared to an  estimated  restated  7.6% in the
second  quarter of fiscal 2004.  Compared with the second  quarter of last year,
operating   income  margin   reflected  an  obsolescence   reserve  addition  of
approximately  $1.0 million to reflect expected  disposition of certain aged and
slow-moving  retail  inventory at Cracker Barrel,  and credits of  approximately
$0.8 million for recoveries or expected  recoveries of certain  insured  losses.
Operating  income also  reflects  approximately  $0.6 million and $0.5  million,
respectively,  in the second  quarters  of fiscal  2005 and  estimated  restated
fiscal 2004 for a change in accounting for certain  leases  discussed more fully
below.

     Commenting on the  second-quarter  results,  CBRL Group, Inc. President and
Chief Executive Officer Michael A. Woodhouse said, "We are very pleased with the
solid results recorded this quarter,  and with the progress made in returning to
our  long-term  objective of 15% diluted net income per share  growth  through a
combination of prudent unit expansion,  improved  operating  results,  and share
repurchases  from the  strong  cash flow  generated  by our  businesses.  We are
particularly  pleased to post an  increase  from last year in  operating  income
margin  despite  the  ongoing  commodity  pressures  we  experienced  during the
quarter."

Six-Month Fiscal 2005 Results

     Total  revenue for the six months  ended  January 28, 2005 of $1.3  billion
increased 7.6 % from the first six months of 2004.  Comparable  store restaurant
sales  for the six  months  for  the  Cracker  Barrel  concept  increased  2.8%,
including a 3.6% higher average check but 0.8% lower guest  traffic.  Comparable
store retail sales at Cracker Barrel  decreased 2.5% for the first six months of
fiscal 2005. Logan's  comparable  restaurant sales for the first six months were
up 4.2% with a 4.6% increase in average check but 0.4% lower guest traffic.  The
Company  opened 10 new Cracker  Barrel  units and 11 new  company-owned  Logan's
locations; two new franchised Logan's restaurants also opened.

     The Company  reported net income for the first six months of fiscal 2005 of
$62.5  million,  or $1.20 per diluted share,  reflecting  increases of 10.6% and
13.2%,  respectively,  from  estimated  restated net income of $56.5 million and
estimated  restated  diluted  net  income  per  share of $1.06 for the first six
months of fiscal 2004.

     The Company  reported  that  year-to-date  net cash  provided by  operating
activities of $137.4  million was up sharply from $76.6 million in the first six
months of fiscal  2004,  and well in excess of net cash used for the purchase of
property and equipment  (capital  expenditures) of $76.6 million.  The increased
cash provided by operations  reflected increased levels of accounts payable from
the  relatively  low  levels  at the end of  fiscal  2004 as well as the  higher
reported  net income.  Capital  expenditures  were higher than the prior  year's
$63.9  million,  primarily  reflecting a greater number of new store openings in
development for fiscal 2005.

     The Company  repurchased  approximately  2.3  million  shares of its common
stock for  approximately  $87.1 million  year-to-date  and paid $11.3 million to
shareholders in dividends.  As of the end of the second quarter, the Company had
approximately  0.6 million shares  remaining to be repurchased  under previously
disclosed authorizations

Restatement Related to Changes for Lease Accounting

     Effective with the reporting  contained in this press release,  the Company
has changed its accounting for certain  operating leases consistent with changes
recently adopted by numerous other public companies.  As part of this change, it
has restated historical results, also consistent with policies adopted by others
in its industry.

     Since 1985,  generally accepted accounting  principles in the United States
("GAAP") have required that leases for which there are rent  increases  over the
term of the  lease  be  accounted  for at the  average  rent  payment  over  the
applicable  term.  This  typically  results in accrued rent expense in the early
years being higher than cash rent payments,  with the difference  being recorded
on the balance  sheet as deferred rent  liability.  In later years of the lease,
actual cash rent payments  typically  are higher than the average rent,  and the
difference is recorded by reducing the deferred rent liability.  In effect, rent
payments from the later years of the lease are partially  accrued in the earlier
years of the lease. GAAP generally requires that this average, or straight-line,
rent be  calculated  over the  minimum  term  where the  lessee  would  incur no
economic penalty from  terminating the lease. The Company  indicated that it and
apparently  many others in the industry have long  interpreted  this to mean the
base term of the lease (i.e., not including option,  or renewal,  periods) since
not renewing a lease  generally is an economic  advantage  because it allows the
lessee to cease operations at a poorly performing site or to commence operations
at a superior site. The Company  indicated that it and apparently many others in
the industry,  however, also generally have depreciated  leasehold  improvements
over a longer period, the expected life of the property, which may often include
optional renewal periods.

     The restatement that the Company is recording  conforms the period used for
straight-line   rent  calculation  with  the  estimated  useful  life  used  for
depreciating  leasehold  improvements.  This  generally  means that rent expense
accrued in a given period will include rent that will not actually be paid until
an even more remote future period,  often more than 20 years hence and for which
a lessee  has no  obligation  until an option is  exercised  at some time in the
future. If a lessee determines not to exercise a future renewal option, the rent
accrued in the early years of the lease  attributable to the later option period
would be taken as a credit to income,  even though there is no cash transaction.
Again,  these accrued  future rent payments will be  accumulated  on the balance
sheet as a deferred rent liability.

     Additionally, the restatement is based upon the applicable lease terms that
include  the  pre-opening  period  during  construction  in which the Company is
obligated to the lease, but not making  payments,  yet would incur a substantial
economic  penalty by  terminating  the lease.  Typically,  rent  payments do not
commence until the restaurant  opens for business,  and the Company has used the
earlier of  commencement  of operations or rent payments as the date on which it
began to accrue rent, under the principle of matching revenues and expenses.  As
a  non-cash  accrual,  the  restatement  has no net  impact  on cash  flow  from
operations, and the income statement and balance sheet effects are summarized in
a table in this press release.  The Company will file an amended Form 10-K/A for
fiscal 2004 and an amended Form 10-Q/A for its first  fiscal  quarter of 2005 as
soon as practical.  Additionally,  the Company will restate its second and third
quarter of fiscal 2004  prospectively.  The current filings should not be relied
upon.

     The  Company  urges  caution  in  considering  its  current  trends and the
earnings guidance  disclosed in this press release.  The restaurant  industry is
highly competitive,  and trends and guidance are subject to numerous factors and
influences, some of which are discussed in the cautionary language at the end of
this press release.  The Company  disclaims any  obligation to update  disclosed

information on trends or targets other than in its periodic  filings under Forms
10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Fiscal 2005 Earnings Guidance

     The  Company's  present  guidance  for diluted net income per share for the
third  quarter of fiscal 2005,  which ends April 29,  2005,  is for a percentage
increase up to the mid-teens  compared to the estimated restated $0.48 per share
in the third quarter of last year on a total revenue  increase of  approximately
9-10%.  Earnings  guidance  reflects many  assumptions,  many of which cannot be
known, including,  very importantly,  sales expectations.  The Company presently
expects  comparable  store  restaurant sales for the full third quarter to be up
approximately  3-5% at Cracker  Barrel  and up  approximately  2-4% at  Logan's.
Comparable  store retail sales at Cracker  Barrel are  presently  expected to be
approximately  flat to down 1% compared with the year-ago  quarter.  The Company
presently  expects  operating  income margins for the quarter to be flat to down
slightly,  primarily reflecting higher marketing expenses partly offset by other
cost  favorability,  including lower cost of sales. The Company presently has an
estimated 80-85% of its expected food purchases for the third quarter contracted
with an overall expected percentage inflation on food purchases of approximately
1% from the third quarter of last year,  primarily  reflecting  expectations for
higher pork,  chicken and beef prices,  partly offset by lower dairy costs.  The
Company  presently  expects to open seven new Cracker  Barrel units in the third
quarter, two of which have already opened, and six new Logan's  company-operated
units, of which one has already opening. In addition, one new franchised Logan's
restaurant is expected to open in the quarter.

     With the present outlook for a strong fourth quarter, the Company presently
expects a percentage increase for the full fiscal year in diluted net income per
share in the mid-to-high teens above the estimated restated $2.18 in fiscal 2004
(excluding  the  settlement  charge  taken in the fourth  quarter of last year),
reflecting  a  high-single-digit  percentage  increase  in total  revenue  and a
full-year operating income margin that is up slightly compared with an estimated
restated 7.9% of revenue  recorded in fiscal 2004 (also  excluding the effect of
the settlement charge). The Company's full-year guidance includes an expectation
for lower  commodity  costs in the fourth  quarter than in the prior year,  with
approximately  70% of the Company's  food cost  purchases for the fourth quarter
currently  contracted.  The Company is developing plans to address the impact of
enacted  minimum  wage  increases in certain  states in which it  operates.  The
estimated  cost of the minimum wage  increases  is expected to be  approximately
$1.2-$1.3 million in the fourth quarter and substantially  less than that in the
third quarter.
