<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>FAMOUS DAVE&#146;S ANNOUNCES SHARE REPURCHASE PLAN</B>




<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;MINNEAPOLIS,
November&nbsp;2, 2004  &#151; Famous Dave&#146;s of America, Inc. (Nasdaq:
<u>DAVE</u>) today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the Company to
repurchase an additional one million shares of its common stock under a stock
repurchase program. The Company recently announced, in September&nbsp;2004, that it
completed the repurchase of one million shares of common stock under a similar
repurchase program approved by its Board of Directors in May&nbsp;2004. Like the
previous program, shares repurchased under the new program may be repurchased
from time-to-time in the open market or privately negotiated transactions and
will be funded from available working capital. The repurchase program may be
discontinued at any time at the discretion of the Company. Currently the
Company has approximately 11.3&nbsp;million shares outstanding.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mr.&nbsp;Jeffrey Dahlberg, the Company&#146;s Chairman of the Board, stated:
&#147;Authorizing further stock repurchases reflects the Board&#146;s continued belief
that repurchases of Company shares at current price levels remain an attractive
investment opportunity that will benefit the long-term interests of the
shareholders.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;President and CEO, David Goronkin, also commented: &#147;The additional
repurchases should not have any effect on the Company sustaining its previously
announced growth plans. We continue to believe that the Company&#146;s working
capital position and expected cash flow will be sufficient to fund both
activities.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 8pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Famous Dave&#146;s of America, Inc. (Nasdaq:<u>DAVE</u> &#151; <u>News</u>) develops, owns, operates
and franchises barbeque restaurants. The company currently owns 38 locations
and franchises 65 additional units in 24 states. Its menu features
award-winning barbequed and grilled meats, an ample selection of salads, side
items, sandwiches and unique desserts. Contact information: Diana Purcel
(952)294-1300, or <u>diana.purcel@famousdaves.com</u>.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 8pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Statements in this press release that are not strictly historical, including
but not limited to statements regarding the stock repurchase plan and cash
flow, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements
involve known and unknown risks, which may cause the company&#146;s actual results
to differ materially from expected results. Although Famous Dave&#146;s of America,
Inc. believes the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are
based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectation
will be attained. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from Famous Dave&#146;s expectation include financial performance, restaurant
industry conditions, execution of restaurant development and construction
Plans, franchisee performance, changes in local or national economic
conditions, availability of financing, governmental approvals and other risks
detailed from time to time in the Company&#146;s SEC reports.
