We were encouraged by the guest appeal of our summer seasonal menu at Cracker Barrel and by improvements in overcoming operational challenges created by the variety of new menu items included on a seasonal menu."

Woodhouse added, "Our retail sales were below our expectations, which we believe also reflected weakness in consumer discretionary spending as well as issues with product freshness and inventory depth in certain seasonal and core product lines.

The average menu price increase for the full year at Cracker Barrel was 2.9%. Comparable store retail sales at Cracker Barrel decreased 2.7% for the full year of fiscal 2005.

The Company urges caution in considering its current trends and the earnings guidance disclosed in this press release.

The Company noted that it will adopt a new accounting rule beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 (Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS SFAS Statement of Financial Accounting Standards

For the first quarter of fiscal 2006, which ends October October: see month.  28, 2005, the Company's present guidance is for diluted net income per share of approximately $0.53 to $0.57, including an estimated $0.03 to $0.04 effect of stock options expense, compared with $0.57 per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, which did not include stock options expense. Total revenue in the first fiscal quarter is projected to increase approximately 4% to 6% from a year ago. The Company presently expects comparable store restaurant sales for the full first quarter to be between a 1% decline and a 1% increase compared to prior year at Cracker Barrel, with comparable retail sales expected to reflect a mid to high single digit A single character in a numbering system.

The Company presently expects to open seven new Cracker Barrel units in the first quarter, four of which have already opened, and five new Logan's company-operated units, three of which have already opened. In addition, one new franchised Logan's restaurant is expected to open in the first quarter.

For the full year of fiscal 2006, the Company's present guidance is

for diluted net income per share of approximately $2.41 to $2.55, including the effect of stock options expense in fiscal 2006, which the Company presently estimates to be approximately $0.14 to $0.16 per diluted share for the full year, compared with $2.45 for fiscal 2005, which did not include stock options expense.

Operating margins for the full year are expected to be down as a result of sales softness and options expense, and the Company expects a higher income tax rate in fiscal 2006. During fiscal 2006, the Company presently expects to open 26 new Cracker Barrel units and 22 to 24 new Logan's company-owned and four new franchised restaurants.

   Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP disclosures
                              (Unaudited)

Certain comparisons made in this press release are against a prior
year, fiscal 2004, excluding the effect of certain charges. As
reported in the Company's fiscal 2004 annual consolidated financial
statements, the Company incurred certain litigation settlement charges
that reduced earnings. Since these charges related to settlement of
long-standing litigation, the Company is showing operating income, net
income and diluted net income per share results excluding the effects
of these charges to improve the comparability of year-to-year
results.. Reconciliation for the effect of such a charge on each of
the GAAP financial disclosures to the non-GAAP financials used in this
press release is shown below, and more detail of this charge may be
found in the consolidated financial statements of the Company for
fiscal 2004.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company incurred a charge
related to a settlement of certain lawsuits against the Company's
Cracker Barrel subsidiary. The charge totaled $5.2 million before
taxes and $3.3 million after the effect of income taxes.
