     (c) Exhibits

         99.1 Famous Dave's of America, Inc. Press Release dated April 21, 2004.

Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

         The information in this Item is furnished to, but not filed with, the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") solely under Item 12 of
Form 8-K, "Results of Operations and Financial Condition."

         On April 21, 2004, we issued a press release reporting the financial
results for our first quarter ended March 28, 2004. A copy of the press release
is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by
reference. In addition to reporting a measure of our fiscal 2004 first quarter
revenues that is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
this release also included a non-GAAP financial measure of our fiscal 2004 first
quarter system-wide sales, which is a measure that includes sales from all
restaurants, company-owned and franchise, operating under the Famous Dave's
brand name. We believe that the measure of system-wide sales information is
useful to investors because it gives a more accurate indication of the market
penetration of the Famous Dave's brand.
