  99.1   Famous Dave’s of America, Inc. Press Release dated July 28, 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 July 28, 2004, we issued a press release reporting the financial results for our second quarter and six-month period ended June 27, 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 second quarter revenue that is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, this release also included a non-GAAP financial measure of our fiscal 2004 second quarter and six-month system-wide sales, which is a measure that includes sales from all restaurants, company-owned and franchise-operated, operating under the Famous Dave’s brand name. We believe that the measure of system-wide sales information provides a useful indication of overall growth in the business and the penetration of Famous Dave’s brand.
