Big Buck Brewery & Steakhouse, Inc. Completes Going Private Transaction 


GAYLORD, Mich., March 26  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Big Buck Brewery &
Steakhouse, Inc.  (BULLETIN BOARD: BBUC)  announced today that it has completed
its going private transaction.

At a special meeting of shareholders held on March 25, 2004, the Company's
shareholders approved amendments to the Company's Restated Articles of
Incorporation providing for (1) a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company's
common stock, (2) cashpayment of $0.25 per pre-split share to any shareholder
who would not be entitled to receive at least one whole share of common stock in
connection with the reverse stock split, and (3) a 10-for-1 forward stock split
of the Company's common stock.

As a result of this recapitalization, which became effective on March 25, 2004,
the number of record holders of the Company's common stock decreased to
approximately 250, thereby enabling the Company to make a filing to deregister
its common stock.  As a result of the deregistration, the Company will not be
filing further periodic reports with the SEC under the Exchange Act.  As an
additional consequence of the deregistration, the Company's common stock will no
longer be eligible for trading on the OTCBB.  The ownership of the Company
remains essentially the same as before the recapitalization.
