REPORTS JUNE SALES AND COMMENTS ON EARNINGS GUIDANCE FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER OF FISCAL 2005 LEBANON, Tenn. (June 28, 2005) -- CBRL Group, Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ: CBRL) today reported comparable store sales for the four-week period ending June 24, 2005. It also commented on its earnings guidance for its fourth fiscal quarter of 2005. The Company reported that comparable store restaurant sales for the four weeks ending Friday, June 24, 2005 in its Cracker Barrel Old Country Store(R) ("Cracker Barrel") units were up 3.3% from the comparable period last year, with an approximately 4.0% higher average check, including approximately 4.1% higher menu pricing. Cracker Barrel comparable store retail sales in June were down 3.1%. Comparable restaurant sales in the Company's Logan's Roadhouse(R) ("Logan's") restaurants in June were up 1.9%, with an approximately 2.2% higher average check, including approximately 2.5% higher menu pricing. 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 on Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company also commented on its guidance for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2005, which ends on July 29, 2005. The Company's current expectations for total revenue and diluted net income per share for the fourth quarter are at the low end of the range provided in the Company's previously-disclosed guidance (previous guidance issued on May 19, 2005, was for revenue growth of 9-11% from the fourth fiscal quarter of 2004 and diluted net income per share of $0.73-$0.76).
