ITEM 1.01   ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT; AND

ITEM 2.03   CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION OR AN OBLIGATION UNDER AN
            OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT OF A REGISTRANT

On October 8, 2004, Lone Star Steakhouse & Saloon, Inc. (the "Company")
entered into a Revolving Credit Loan Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with
SUNTRUST BANK, INTRUST BANK, N.A. and the several banks and other financial
institutions from time to time party thereto (the "Lenders"), and SUNTRUST BANK,
in its capacity as Administrative Agent for the Lenders. The Credit Agreement
allows the Company to borrow up to $30,000,000 with the right to borrow an
additional $20,000,000 under certain conditions such that the total amount of
the credit facility shall not exceed $50,000,000. The Credit Agreement
terminates in October 2007; however, it is subject to acceleration in the event
of a change of control of the Company as that term is defined in the Credit
Agreement. At the time of each borrowing, the Company may elect to pay interest
at the higher of SUNTRUST BANK's published prime rate or the Federal Funds
Rate plus one-half of one percent (.50%); or the LIBOR Rate plus one and one-half
percent (1.50%). The Company is required to achieve certain financial ratios and
to maintain certain net worth requirements as defined in the Credit Agreement.
The Company is required to pay on a quarterly basis a facility fee equal to .25%
per annum on the daily-unused amount of the credit facility.
