3. EARNINGS PER SHARE

      Basic earnings per share amounts are computed based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the periods. For purposes of diluted
computations, average shares outstanding have been adjusted to reflect in
accordance with the treasury stock method (1) the number of shares that would be
issued from the exercise of stock options, reduced by the number of shares which
could have been purchased from the proceeds at the average market price of the
Company's stock or price of the Company's stock on the exercise date if options
were exercised during the period presented and (2) the number of shares that may
be issuable to effect the settlement of certain deferred compensation
liabilities pursuant to the Company's Stock Option Deferred Compensation Plan.
In addition, for purposes of diluted computations, net income has been adjusted
for the twelve weeks ended September 7, 2004 and for the thirty-six weeks ended
September 7, 2004 to reflect the dilutive effect on net income of the assumed
settlement of certain deferred compensation liabilities. The effect of shares
issuable to settle the deferred compensation liabilities are included for the
twelve and thirty-six week periods for fiscal 2004 and excluded from the fiscal
2003 periods as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

4. TERM REVOLVER

      The Company has a credit facility pursuant to an unsecured revolving
credit agreement with a group of banks led by SunTrust Bank. The credit facility
allows the Company to borrow up to $30,000 with an accordian feature permitting
for an increase in the credit facility in an amount up to $20,000 such that the
total amount of the credit facility does not exceed $50,000. The additional
borrowing is subject to the approval of the lenders. The credit agreement
terminates in October 2007; however, it is subject to acceleration in the event
of a change of control of the Company as that term is defined in the credit
agreement. At the time of each borrowing, the Company may elect to pay interest
at the higher of SunTrust Bank's published prime rate or the Federal Funds Rate
plus one-half of one percent (.50%); or the LIBOR Rate plus one and one-half
percent (1.5%). The Company is required to achieve certain financial ratios and
to maintain certain net worth requirements as defined in the credit agreement.
The Company is required to pay on a quarterly basis a facility fee equal to .25%
per annum on the daily unused amount of the credit facility. At September 7,
2004 and at December 30, 2003, there were no borrowings outstanding pursuant to
the credit facility.

      The Company also has entered into a $5,000 revolving term loan agreement
with a bank, under which no borrowings were outstanding at September 7, 2004 and
December 30, 2003. The term loan agreement matures in October 2007. The interest
rate is at .50% below the daily prime rate as published in the Wall Street
Journal. In addition, the Company pays a facility fee of .25% per annum on the
daily unused portion of the credit facility.

5. COMMON STOCK TRANSACTIONS

      The Board of Directors has authorized the Company from time to time to
purchase shares of the Company's common stock in the open market or in privately
negotiated transactions. The Company purchased 670,300 shares of its common
stock during the thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2004. The Company purchased
891,000 shares of its common stock during the thirty-six weeks ended September
9, 2003. The Company is accounting for the purchases using the constructive
retirement method of accounting wherein the aggregate par value of the stock is
charged to the common stock account and the excess of cost over par value is
charged to paid-in capital.

      In September 2002, the Company adopted a Stock Option Deferred
Compensation Plan (the "Deferred Plan"), which allows certain key executives to
defer compensation arising from the exercise of stock options granted under the
Company's 1992 Incentive and Nonqualified Stock Option Plan. During the
thirty-six weeks ended September 9, 2003, the Company issued 300,000 shares of
its common stock to effect the exercise of such stock options in exchange for
122,855 shares of the Company's common stock as payment for such shares. The
122,855 shares received by the Company were cancelled. The Company issued
122,855 shares to the optionee and pursuant to the terms of the Deferred Plan,
the Company issued 177,145 shares to a Rabbi Trust (the "Trust") with Intrust
Bank, NA serving as the trustee. The Trust holds the shares for the benefit of
the participating employees ("Participants"). Under the terms of the Deferred
Plan, Participants may elect to change the Deferred Plan's investments from time
to time which may result in the sale of the shares. Since the shares held by the
Trust are held pursuant to a deferred compensation arrangement whereby amounts
earned by an employee are invested in the stock of the employer and placed in
the Trust, the Company accounts for the arrangement as required by Emerging
Issues Task Force ("EITF") consensus on Issue No. 97-14, ACCOUNTING FOR DEFERRED
COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS WHERE AMOUNTS EARNED ARE HELD IN A RABBI TRUST AND
INVESTED ("EITF No. 97-14"). Accordingly, shares issued to the Trust were
recorded at fair market value at the date issued by the Company in the amount of
$3,663, which is reflected in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance
Sheets as Common Stock Held By Trust. The corresponding amount was credited to
deferred compensation obligations. Each period, the shares owned by the Trust
are valued at the closing market price, with corresponding changes in the
underlying shares reflected as adjustments to compensation expense and deferred
compensation obligations. At September 7, 2004, the Trust held 177,145 shares of
the Company's common stock. Included in non-cash stock compensation expense for
the twelve weeks ended September 7, 2004 and September 9, 2003 was a credit of
$(379) and $(95), respectively, relating to the changes in market price for such
shares. The charges for the thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2004 and
September 9, 2003 were $173 and $314, respectively.

6. ACQUISITION OF TEXAS LAND AND CATTLE STEAK HOUSE

On January 28, 2004, the Company's Joint Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") to
purchase TX.C.C., Inc. and affiliated entities, TXCC-Preston and
TXLC-Albuquerque, (collectively, "TXCC") was confirmed by the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Texas, Dallas Division and the Company
acquired 100% of TXCC on that date. The Company's consolidated financial
statements include TXCC's results of operations from January 28, 2004. TXCC
presently operates 20 Texas Land & Cattle Steak House(R) restaurants located
primarily in Texas. The acquisition of TXCC allows the Company to expand its
steakhouse concepts, provides strategic growth opportunities and significantly
increases its presence in the Texas market. Pursuant to the Plan, the
pre-petition creditors at their option were entitled to receive either cash or
common stock of Lone Star Steakhouse & Saloon, Inc. in settlement of their
claims. The cash portion of the acquisition was funded from the Company's
existing cash balances.

The preliminary aggregate purchase price was $23,945, including cash acquired of
$2,145. The Company's purchase price consisted of $14,724 in cash, 119,485
shares of the Company's common stock valued at $2,679, and liabilities assumed
of $6,542.

The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. The Company
is in the process of determining the final settlement amounts with certain
pre-petition creditors; thus additional adjustments to the purchase price
allocation, including estimated assumed liabilities, may still be required.

7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

      On September 22, 2004, the Board of Directors declared the Company's
quarterly cash dividend of $.175 per share payable October 18, 2004 to
stockholders of record on October 4, 2004.

                                     - 9 -

8. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

      The Company accounts for its closed restaurants in accordance with the
Provisions of SFAS No. 144, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF
LONG-LIVED ASSETS. Therefore, when a restaurant is closed and the restaurant is
either held for sale or abandoned, the restaurant's operations are eliminated
from ongoing operations. Accordingly, the operations of such restaurants, net of
applicable income taxes, are presented as discontinued operations and prior
period consolidated financial statements are reclassified. The table below
reflects as discontinued operations the applicable operations of the Company's
Australian business and certain other domestic restaurants closed which meet the
criteria for such presentation.

9. INCOME TAX

      The effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 32.1% and
31.6% for the twelve weeks ended September 7, 2004 and September 9, 2003,
respectively, and 32.6% and 31.7% for the thirty-six weeks ended September 7,
2004 and September 9, 2003, respectively. The factors which cause the effective
tax rates to vary from the federal statutory rate of 35% include state income
taxes, the impact of FICA Tip and other credits, certain non-deductible
expenses, and the tax effect of incentive stock options. There is generally no
tax impact to the Company associated with incentive stock options and the
related amortization associated with such options in the income statement.
However, tax benefits may arise related to the incentive stock options at the
time the options are exercised to the extent that the exercise is followed by a
disqualifying disposition of the shares by the optionee. The 2003 effective tax
rates reflect a greater amount of tax benefits arising from disqualifying
dispositions of incentive stock options as compared to 2004.

LONE STAR STEAKHOUSE & SALOON, INC.

TWELVE WEEKS ENDED SEPTEMBER 7, 2004 COMPARED TO TWELVE WEEKS ENDED SEPTEMBER 9,
          2003 (DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

      Net sales increased $17,733 or 13.6% to $148,045 for the twelve weeks
ended September 7, 2004, compared to $130,312 for the twelve weeks ended
September 9, 2003. Sales for the twelve weeks ended September 7, 2004 include
approximately $13,725 attributable to the acquisition of TXCC. The Company's
blended same store sales representing net sales, by store, for all the Company
owned restaurant concepts opened for more than 18 months in the current and
comparable prior year period increased 2.9%. The Company's average check
increased 0.1% and guest counts increased 3.0%. In addition, sales comparisons
for the twelve weeks ended September 7, 2004 were favorably impacted by
approximately $1,800 due to the inclusion of Father's Day sales in the quarter
for 2004. In 2003, Father's Day fell in the Company's fiscal second quarter.

      Costs of sales, primarily food and beverages, increased as a percentage of
net sales to 36.7% from 36.3% due primarily to increased costs of dairy
products.

      Restaurant operating expenses for the twelve weeks ended September 7, 2004
increased $9,197 to $71,986 compared to $62,789 in the prior year period and
increased as a percentage of net sales to 48.6% from 48.2%. Labor costs
increased .3% primarily as a result of increased costs for worker's compensation
and employee medical expenses. Occupancy costs were up .5%, due primarily to the
impact of higher rent expenses applicable to the TXCC stores. The increases were
offset in part by decreases in advertising costs.

      Depreciation and amortization increased $35 for the twelve weeks ended
September 7, 2004 compared with the prior period. The increase is attributable
to depreciation of assets related to the TXCC acquisition, which is mostly
offset by the continued reduction in depreciation for certain assets that have
become fully depreciated for the Company's historical concepts.

      General and administrative expenses increased $1,314 for the twelve weeks
ended September 7, 2004 compared to the prior year period. General and
administrative expenses reflect an increase of approximately $573 for increases
related to the TXCC acquisition. In addition the increase reflects higher
compensation related costs and increased costs in professional fees.

      Non-cash stock compensation expense for the twelve weeks ended September
7, 2004 was a credit of $290 compared to a charge of $75 for the prior year
period. The change is primarily attributable to a credit of $379 compared to a
credit of $95 in the prior year period relating to the accounting for certain
shares of the Company's common stock held by a Rabbi Trust pursuant to a
deferred compensation arrangement (See Note 5 to the Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements). In addition, the change also reflects a
decrease in the amortization of other stock based compensation in 2004 compared
to 2003.

      Other income (expense), net for the twelve weeks ended September 7, 2004
was $787 compared to $(35) for the prior year. The increase in other income
results primarily from an increase in gains from sale of assets in 2004 as
compared to 2003.

      The effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 32.1% and
31.6% for the twelve weeks ended September 7, 2004 and September 9, 2003,
respectively. The factors which cause the effective tax rates to vary from the
federal statutory rate of 35% include state income taxes, the impact of FICA Tip
and other credits, certain non-deductible expenses, and the tax effect of
incentive stock options. There is generally no tax impact to the Company
associated with incentive stock options and the related amortization associated
with such options in the income statement. However, tax benefits may arise at
the time the incentive options are exercised to the extent that the exercise is
followed by a disqualifying disposition of the shares by the optionee. The 2003
period reflects a greater amount of tax benefits associated with incentive stock
options exercised during the period.

      Discontinued operations reflect the operations of restaurants closed
subsequent to fiscal 2002 which are required to be reported as discontinued
operations pursuant to SFAS No. 144, (see Note 8 to the Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Statements).

  THIRTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED SEPTEMBER 7, 2004 COMPARED TO THIRTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED
   SEPTEMBER 9, 2003 (DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

      Net sales increased $56,544 or 13.9% to $464,171 for the thirty-six weeks
ended September 7, 2004, compared to $407,627 for the thirty-six weeks ended
September 9, 2003. Sales for the thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2004
include approximately $37,462 attributable to the acquisition of TXCC. The
Company experienced sales growth in all its restaurant concepts as blended same
store sales representing net sales, by store, for all the Company owned
restaurant concepts, opened for more than 18 months in the current and
comparable prior year period increased 4.0%. The Company's average check
increased 1.6% and guest counts increased 3.0%.

      Costs of sales, primarily food and beverages, increased as a percentage of
net sales to 36.2% from 35.1% due primarily to increased costs of beef and dairy
products.

      Restaurant operating expenses for the thirty-six weeks ended September 7,
2004 increased $28,805 to $218,878 compared to $190,073 in the prior year period
and increased as a percentage of net sales to 47.2% from 46.6%. Labor costs
increased .2 % primarily as a result of increased costs for worker's
compensation and employee medical expenses. Advertising costs increased
approximately .2% reflecting increased printing costs. These increases were
partially offset by a decrease in building and maintenance costs which decreased
..2%. Occupancy costs were up .4%, due primarily to the impact of higher rent
expenses applicable to the TXCC stores. In addition, restaurant operating
expenses for the thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2004 include approximately
$539 of pre-opening costs compared to none in the prior year period.

      Depreciation and amortization decreased $480 for the thirty-six weeks
ended September 7, 2004 compared with the prior period. The decrease is
attributable primarily to a reduction in depreciation for certain assets that
have become fully depreciated for the Company's historical concepts which are
offset in part by depreciation of assets related to the TXCC acquisition.

      General and administrative expenses increased $1,660 for the thirty-six
weeks ended September 7, 2004 compared to the prior year period. The primary
reason for the increase is attributable to the additional general and
administrative costs applicable to TXCC of $1,683. The increase was partially
offset by decreases in travel related costs and professional fees.

      Non-cash stock compensation expense for the thirty-six weeks ended
September 7, 2004 decreased $696 compared to the prior year period. The change
reflects a decrease of $138 relating to the accounting for certain shares of the
Company's common stock held by a Rabbi Trust pursuant to a deferred compensation
arrangement (See Note 5 to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements). In addition there was a decrease of $558 in the amortization of
other stock based compensation expense in 2004 as compared to 2003.

      Other income, net for the thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2004 was
$814 compared to $298 for the prior year. The increase is attributable to an
increase in interest income and gains from sales of assets in 2004 compared to
2003. The increase for 2004 was partially offset by foreign exchange losses
related to Australian funds which were repatriated during the period.

      The effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 32.6% and
31.7% for the thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2004 and September 9, 2003,
respectively. The factors which cause the effective tax rates to vary from the
federal statutory rate of 35% include state income taxes, the impact of FICA Tip
and other credits, certain non-deductible expenses, and the tax effect of
incentive stock options. There is generally no tax impact to the Company
associated with incentive stock options and the related amortization associated
with such options in the income statement. However, tax benefits may arise at
the time the incentive options are exercised to the extent that the exercise is
followed by a disqualifying disposition of the shares by the optionee. The 2003
period reflects a greater amount of tax benefits associated with incentive stock
options exercised during the period compared to 2004.

                                     - 14 -

      Discontinued operations reflect the operations of restaurants closed
subsequent to fiscal 2002 which are required to be reported as discontinued
operations pursuant to SFAS No. 144, (see Note 8 to the Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Statements).

IMPACT OF INFLATION

      The primary inflationary factors affecting the Company's operations
include food and labor costs. A number of the Company's restaurant personnel are
paid at the federal and state established minimum wage levels and, accordingly,
changes in such wage levels affect the Company's labor costs. However, since the
majority of personnel are tipped employees, minimum wage changes should have
little effect on overall labor costs. Historically, as costs of food and labor
have increased, the Company has been able to offset these increases through menu
price increases and economies of scale; however, there may be delays in the
implementation of such menu price increases or in effecting timely economies of
scale, as well as competitive pressures which may limit the Company's ability to
recover any cost increases in its entirety. Historically, inflation has not had
a material impact on operating margins. During fiscal 2004, the Company
experienced significant increases in beef prices and the prices continue to be
above historical levels and have been somewhat volatile. To the extent that beef
prices continue to be significantly above historical levels, it will have a
material negative impact on operating margins.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AMOUNTS)

      The following table presents a summary of the Company's cash flows for
each of the thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2004 and September 9, 2003:

      The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities for the
thirty-six week period ended September 7, 2004 compared to the prior period is
due primarily to an increase in income tax payments during fiscal 2004 as
compared to fiscal 2003.

      During the thirty-six week period ended September 7, 2004, the Company's
investment in property and equipment was $16,399 compared to $3,834 for the same
period in 2003.

      As more fully described in Note 6 to the Notes to Consolidated Condensed
Financial Statements, on January 28, 2004, the Company acquired TXCC which
operates 20 Texas Land & Cattle Steak House(R) restaurants located primarily in
Texas. The cash portion of the purchase price, net of cash acquired, was $12,579
and was funded from the Company's existing cash balance. The aggregate purchase
price may change as the Company resolves certain claims of pre-petition
creditors.

                                     - 15 -

      During the thirty-six week period ended September 7, 2004, the Company
received net proceeds of $5,855 from the issuance of 689,565 shares of its
common stock due to the exercise of stock options compared to net proceeds of
$5,884 from the issuance of 697,371 shares in the same period in 2003.

      The Company's Board of Directors has authorized the purchase of shares of
the Company's common stock from time to time in the open market or in privately
negotiated transactions. The most recent authorization was December 23, 2003
when the Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to 2,122,800 shares of
the Company's common stock. During the thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2004
the Company purchased 670,300 shares of common stock at an average cost of
$23.28 per share or an aggregate cost of $15,607. During the same period in
2003, the Company purchased 891,000 shares of its common stock at an average
cost of $20.71 per share or an aggregate cost of $18,454. At September 7, 2004,
the Company may repurchase up to 1,402,500 shares of its common stock pursuant
to the December 23, 2003 authorization by the Board of Directors.

      The Company has paid quarterly cash dividends on its common stock since
the second quarter of fiscal 2000. In January 2004, the Company increased its
quarterly cash dividend from $.165 to $.175 per share commencing in the first
quarter of fiscal 2004. During the thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2004, the
Company paid dividends of $11,205 or $.525 per share compared to $10,127 or $.48
per share in the same period in 2003.

      At September 7, 2004, the Company had $80,228 in cash and cash
equivalents. As described in Note 4 to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements in the Form 10-Q, the Company has unsecured revolving
credit facilities that may permit borrowings of up to $55,000 which expire in
October 2007. At September 7, 2004, the Company had no outstanding borrowings.

      The Company from time to time may utilize derivative financial instruments
in the form of live beef cattle futures contracts to manage market risks and
reduce its exposure resulting from fluctuations in the price of meat. Realized
and unrealized changes in the fair values of the derivative instruments are
recognized in income in the period in which the change occurs. As of and for the
thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2004, the Company had no positions in
futures contracts.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

      This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the

in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
30, 2003. Although the Company believes the assumptions underlying the
forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the

        thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2004.

                                     - 16 -

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

        Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective
        of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the Company's
        reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as this Form
        10-Q is reported in accordance with the Securities and Exchange
        Commission's rules. Disclosure controls are also designed with the
        objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and
        communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and
        Chief Financial Officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions
        regarding required disclosure.

        As of the end of the period covered by the Form 10-Q, the Company
        carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the
        participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief
        Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of
        the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and
        procedures pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based
        upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
        Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures
        are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating
        to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be
        in the Company's periodic SEC filings. There were no significant changes
        in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could
        significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their
        evaluation.

        Certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
        Officer regarding, among other items, disclosure controls and procedures
        are included immediately after the signature section of this Form 10-Q.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

        In  connection  with the  acquisition  of TXCC,  the  Company has issued
