STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On July&nbsp;5, 2011, Famous Dave&#146;s of America, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) and its subsidiaries (collectively with the Company as the &#147;Borrower&#148;) entered into an amendment (the
&#147;Amendment&#148;) to the Company&#146;s Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and lender (the &#147;Lender&#148;) (as amended, the &#147;Credit Agreement&#148;). The
Credit Agreement provides for loans consisting of a revolving credit facility of $30.0 million, with a Company option, subject to the Company meeting identified covenants and elections to participate by the Lender, to increase the amount to $50.0
million (the &#147;Revolving Facility&#148;), and a term loan (the &#147;Term Loan&#148;). The Borrower has granted the Lender a security interest in all of the Borrower&#146;s current and future personal property to secure obligations under the
Credit Agreement. At July&nbsp;5, 2011, the principal amount outstanding under the Revolving Facility and the Term Loan were approximately $10.4 million and $6.3 million, respectively. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Amendment extends the term of the Revolving Facility for an additional five years ending July&nbsp;5, 2016, and modifies the maturity
of the Term Loan to be coterminous with the Revolving Facility. Prior to the Amendment, the Revolving Facility and the Term Loan were previously scheduled to expire on May&nbsp;1, 2013 and March&nbsp;4, 2017, respectively. In addition, the Amendment
permits the Company to repurchase up to an additional $30.0 million of its common stock under share repurchase programs during the remaining term of the Credit Agreement, subject to specified limitations and conditions. As amended, principal amounts
outstanding under the Revolving Facility bear interest either at an adjusted Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin or at a Base Rate plus an applicable margin. The Base Rate is defined in the Credit Agreement as either the Federal Funds Rate
plus 0.75% or Wells Fargo&#146;s prime rate. The applicable margin will range from 1.50% to 2.25% for Euro Dollar Rate loans and from 0.00 percent to 0.75 percent for Base Rate loans, in each case depending on the Company&#146;s adjusted leverage
ratio from time to time. In addition, the Amendment increases the required minimum annual amortization of principal of the Term Loan from 5 percent to 10 percent. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants, for credit facilities of this type, including restrictions on the Borrowers with respect to
indebtedness, liens, investments, distributions, mergers and acquisitions, dispositions of assets and transactions with affiliates of the Borrowers, among others. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT

Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. The benefits of the representations and warranties set forth in the amended agreement are intended to be relied upon by the parties to the amended agreement only, and do not constitute

<P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px" ALIGN="center"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>With Wells Fargo Bank, NA </B></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">MINNEAPOLIS, July&nbsp;5, 2011 &#150; Famous Dave&#146;s of America, Inc. (NASDAQ: DAVE) today announced that it has amended its existing credit facility
with Wells Fargo Bank, NA, to extend its revolving line of credit for an additional five years, to modify the maturity on its term loan to be coterminous with the credit facility, and to allow for an additional $30.0 million in stock repurchases
over the next five years. The credit facility is available for general working capital purposes as well as for the repurchase of shares under the company&#146;s share repurchase program. At July&nbsp;5, 2011, the principal amount of debt outstanding
under the Company&#146;s amended and restated credit facility was $10.4 million. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&#147;We have had a strong partnership with Wells Fargo for
many years, and are gratified by the continued trust in our management team and in our business,&#148; said Diana Purcel, Famous Dave&#146;s chief financial officer. &#147;This amendment provides us with the overall financial flexibility to support
our various growth initiatives and continuation of stock repurchases.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The amendment also revises the previous credit facility&#146;s
pricing. Principal amounts outstanding under the amendment bear interest either at an adjusted LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin, or at a Base Rate (defined as the greater of the Federal Funds rate plus 0.75 percent or Wells Fargo&#146;s prime
rate), plus an applicable margin.&nbsp;The applicable margin will depend on the company&#146;s adjusted leverage ratio, which ranges from 1.5 percent to 2.25 percent for LIBOR Loans and from 0.00 percent to 0.75 percent for Base Rate Loans.
Additionally, the amendment also revises the required minimum annual amortization of principal of its term loan acquired in March 2010, from 5 percent to 10 percent. At July&nbsp;5, 2011, the principal amount outstanding under this term loan was
approximately $6.3 million. For further details, please see the Company&#146;s Current Report on Form 8-K being filed today with the SEC. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&#147;We are extremely pleased to extend our relationship with Famous Dave&#146;s with a new, long term credit facility that will support the
company&#146;s ambitions to grow the brand and build value for its shareholders&#148;, said Nick Cole, Executive Vice President of Wells Fargo Restaurant Finance. &#147;Famous Dave&#146;s is a strong brand with an attractive history and even greater
potential in the future. New restaurants and exciting menu additions will only help ensure the concept continues to enjoy its fantastic reputation. We are excited to be a part of the company&#146;s future,&#148; added Cole. </FONT></P>
