                                  AMENDMENT TO
                         STATEMENT BY BOARD OF DIRECTORS
                                  IN OPPOSITION
                            TO BISCO INDUSTRIES, INC.

                                  May 23, 1997

     This Amendment to the Revocation of Consent Statement (this "Statement") is
furnished  by the Board of  Directors  (the  "Board") of Family  Steak Houses of
Florida,  Inc.,  a  Florida  corporation  (the  "Company"),  to the  holders  of
outstanding  shares of the Company's  common stock, par value $.01 per share, in
connection  with  the  Board's   opposition  to  the   solicitation  of  written
shareholder  consents  (the  "Bisco  Solicitation")  by Bisco  Industries,  Inc.
("Bisco").

     In the  Board's  Revocation  of  Consent  Statement,  the Board  stated its
intention to propose as a matter for consideration at the 1997 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders an amendment to the Company's  Articles of  Incorporation to divide
the Board into three classes,  permit  removal of directors only for cause,  and
provide  that  vacancies  occurring  in the  Board  may  only be  filled  by the
affirmative  vote of 80% of the  directors  then in office.  The Board has given
serious,  thoughtful consideration to the number and complexity of choices to be
made by the  shareholders and in an effort to reduce the amount of time required
for  shareholders  to  properly  consider  the  issues,  has decided to postpone
consideration of this amendment to the Articles of  Incorporation  until a later
date.

     YOUR BOARD  CONTINUES TO  UNANIMOUSLY  OPPOSE EACH OF THE PROPOSALS MADE IN
THE BISCO SOLICITATION AND RECOMMENDS THAT YOU DO NOT CONSENT TO ANY OF THEM AND
REVOKE ANY CONSENT PREVIOUSLY GIVEN TO BISCO.

     This  Amendment to the  Revocation of Consent  Statement is being mailed to
shareholders on or about May 23, 1997.

     IF YOU PREVIOUSLY  SIGNED AND RETURNED THE GOLD CONSENT CARD SENT TO YOU BY
BISCO,  YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO CHANGE  YOUR MIND.  THE BOARD URGES YOU TO SIGN,
DATE AND MAIL THE WHITE  REVOCATION OF CONSENT CARD PREVIOUSLY  PROVIDED TO YOU.
REGARDLESS  OF THE  NUMBER OF SHARES  YOU OWN,  YOUR  REVOCATION  OF  CONSENT IS
IMPORTANT. PLEASE ACT TODAY!

     IF YOUR SHARES ARE HELD IN THE NAME OF A BANK, BROKER OR OTHER NOMINEE,  WE
URGE YOU TO CONTACT THE PERSON  RESPONSIBLE  FOR YOUR  ACCOUNT AND DIRECT HIM OR
HER TO EXECUTE A WHITE  REVOCATION  OF CONSENT CARD ON YOUR  BEHALF.  YOU SHOULD
ALSO SIGN, DATE AND MAIL YOUR WHITE  REVOCATION OF CONSENT CARD WHEN YOU RECEIVE
IT IN THE MAIL. PLEASE DO SO IMMEDIATELY!

AMENDMENT.  THE BOARD  URGES YOU TO VOTE FOR  PROPOSALS  1, 2 AND 4 AND  AGAINST
PROPOSAL  3  ON  THE  ENCLOSED  PROXY  CARD  FOR  THE  1997  ANNUAL  MEETING  OF
SHAREHOLDERS. THEN PLEASE SIGN, DATE AND MAIL YOUR WHITE PROXY CARD FOR THE 1997
ANNUAL MEETING. EVERY VOTE IS IMPORTANT. PLEASE VOTE TODAY!
