<p align=center><b>BRINKER INTERNATIONAL NAMES WYMAN
ROBERTS </b></p>

<p align=center><b>PRESIDENT OF MAGGIANO'S LITTLE
ITALY</b></p>

<p>DALLAS,
(Aug. 2, 2005) - Brinker International, Inc., (NYSE: EAT) today announced that
it has named Wyman Roberts president of its Maggiano's Little Italy concept.</p>

<p>Roberts
previously served as executive vice president and chief marketing officer for
NBC's Universal Parks &amp; Resorts. He is also a 16-year veteran of Darden
Restaurants, Inc., where he held numerous positions, including executive vice
president of marketing for Red Lobster.</p>

<p>&quot;Wyman's
experience in establishing brand identities makes him ideally suited to lead
the Maggiano's team as it continues to bring its distinct style of service and
culinary offerings to new markets,&quot; said Doug Brooks, chairman and chief
executive officer of Brinker. &quot;His extensive knowledge of casual dining and
hospitality will be a tremendous asset to our company.&quot;</p>

<p>Roberts
replaces Mark Tormey, who helped launch Maggiano's in 1991 and had served as
the concept's president since its inception. As announced in June, Tormey made
the decision to step down to spend more time with his family in Chicago. He has
remained with the company during the search and will assist with the brand's
leadership transition.</p>

<p>Maggiano's offers a full menu of Southern Italian recipes and
specializes in serving dining occasions of all sizes, from intimate dinners and
family gatherings to large banquet parties, in an atmosphere reminiscent of a
pre-World War II New York Italian restaurant. The brand currently operates 33
locations in 18 states. </p>

<p>Dallas-based Brinker International is a recognized leader in
the casual dining industry. The company owns, franchises or is involved in the
ownership of 1,588 restaurants. In addition to Maggiano's, Brinker's portfolio
includes Chili's Grill &amp; Bar, Romano's Macaroni Grill, On The Border
Mexican Grill &amp; Cantina, Corner Bakery Cafe and Rockfish Seafood Grill. </p>
