      NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--December 18, 2008--Ark Restaurants Corp.
      (NASDAQ:ARKR) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter
      and full year ended September 27, 2008 and announced that in light of
      the uncertain direction of the economy and opportunities available to
      utilize its cash the Company&#8217;s Board of Directors has determined to
      suspend its dividend customarily paid in February.
    </p>
    <p>
      As of December 15, 2008, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and
      short term investments totaling $11,444,000. As of the same date, the
      Company had no long-term debt other than $657,000 remaining on a five
      year purchase money obligation undertaken in connection with the
      Company&#8217;s January 8, 2007 acquisition of the <i>Durgin Park
      Restaurant and the Black Horse Tavern </i>in Boston, Massachusetts.
    </p>
    <p>
      EBITDA from continuing operations before stock option expense for the
      three-month period ended September 27, 2008 was $3,977,000 versus
      $4,233,000 during the same three-month period last year. The Company&#8217;s
      income from continuing operations for the three-month period ended
      September 27, 2008 was $2,016,000, or $0.56<b> </b>per share ($0.56<b> </b>per
      diluted share), as compared to $2,481,000, or $0.69<b> </b>per share
      ($0.68 per diluted share), for the same three-month period last year.
    </p>
    <p>
      Total revenues from continuing operations for the three-month period
      ended September 27, 2008 were $34,626,000<b> </b>versus $32,384,000 in
      the three months ended September 29, 2007. Compared to the same three
      month period last year, same store sales in the Company&#8217;s New York City

      Vegas operations decreased by 2.9%, same store sales in the Company&#8217;s

      the sales or the financial results of the Company&#8217;s managed Florida
      casino operations (the Company derives income from a management fee
      arrangement in part based on sales), same store sales at the Company&#8217;s
      Hollywood, Florida operations increased by 8.6% and same store sales at
      the Company&#8217;s Tampa, Florida operations decreased by 5.5% compared to

      represented 41.3% of the Company&#8217;s total sales during the three-month
      period ended September 27, 2008.

            (a) EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes,
            depreciation and amortization and cumulative effect of changes in
            accounting principle. Although EBITDA is not a measure of
            performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with generally
            accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company believes the
            use of the non-GAAP financial measure EBITDA enhances an overall
            understanding of the Company's past financial performance as well
            as providing useful information to the investor because of its
            historical use by the Company as both a performance measure and
            measure of liquidity, and the use of EBITDA by virtually all
            companies in the restaurant sector as a measure of both
            performance and liquidity. However, investors should not consider
            this measure in isolation or as a substitute for net income,
            operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any
            other measure for determining the Company's operating performance
            or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with GAAP, it may
            not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled Measures
            employed by other companies. A reconciliation of EBITDA to the
            most comparable GAAP financial measure, net income, is included
            above.
