Noble Roman's, Inc.
One Virginia Avenue, Suite 800
Indianapolis, Indiana 4204

Dear Sirs:

We are acting as special counsel to Noble Roman's, Inc., an Indiana corporation
(the "Company"), in connection with the registration by the Company of 204,275
shares of the Company's Common Stock, no par value (the "Common Stock") that may
be sold from time to time by shareholders identified in the Registration
Statement (the "Shareholders"). The resale of the Common Stock is the subject of
a Registration Statement, as amended (the "Registration Statement") filed by the
Company on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933, as mended.

We have examined photostatic copies of the Company's Articles of Incorporation,
as amended, and Amended and Restated Bylaws and such other documents and
instruments as we have deemed necessary to enable us to render the opinion set
forth below. We have assumed the conformity to the originals of all documents
submitted to us as photostatic copies, the authenticity of the originals of such
documents, and the genuineness of all signatures appearing thereon. We have
assumed that the Company's representation with respect to the receipt of payment
for the Common Stock from the Shareholders who exercised their Warrants are true
and accurate.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Common Stock
has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company, and
such shares of Common Stock are legally issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.

We do not hold ourselves out as being conversant with the laws of any
jurisdiction other than those of the United States and the State of Indiana and,
therefore, this opinion is limited to the laws of those jurisdictions.

We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement on Form S-1 filed under the Securities Act of 1933 relating to the
resale of the Common Stock. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that
we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of
the Securities Act of 1933.

Very truly yours,

/s/ BOSE MCKINNEY & EVANS LLP
