                             INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

     This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this "Amendment") amends and
supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") on April 29, 2005 (the "Schedule 13D"), by Mr. Bradford L.
Honigfeld, the owner, developer and operator, through affiliated entities, of
fast-food restaurants (Wendy's), casual dining restaurants (T.G.I. Friday's) and
limited service hotels, with respect to the common stock, par value $.001 per
share (the "Common Stock"), of Main Street Restaurant Group, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Issuer").

     All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment
shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Schedule 13D. Other than as set
forth herein, there has been no material change in the information set forth in
Items 1 through 7 of the Schedule 13D.

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

     Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the
following thereto:

     On June 16, 2005, Mr. Honigfeld purchased 81,600 shares of Common Stock in
an open market transaction at an aggregate purchase price of approximately
$266,832. Mr. Honigfeld purchased such shares of Common Stock using his own
available funds.

     Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby further amended as follows: By
replacing the number 488,277 in clause (i) of the first sentence of the first
paragraph of such item with the number 489,906.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

     Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety
as follows:

     Mr. Honigfeld acquired the Common Stock to which this Amendment and the
Schedule 13D relate for the purpose of acquiring a significant equity position
in the Issuer.

     On October 12, 2005, Mr. Honigfeld presented a letter to the Board of
Directors of the Issuer setting forth an offer pursuant to which Mr. Honigfeld
and/or his affiliates would purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock not currently owned by Mr. Honigfeld (assuming full conversion or
cancellation of all securities convertible or exercisable for Common Stock) for
a purchase price of $5.75 per share of Common Stock, payable in cash (the
"Offer"). Mr. Honigfeld anticipates that the funds to consummate the Offer
primarily would be obtained by him through Jefferies Funding LLC. The letter
presented by Mr. Honigfeld to the Board of Directors of the Issuer is attached
hereto as Exhibit 1 and the financing commitment letter issued by Jefferies
Funding LLC is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.

     The Offer is conditioned upon and subject to: (i) the completion of a
thirty (30) day due diligence review of the Issuer; (ii) the redemption by the
Board of Directors of the Issuer, effective upon the consummation of the Offer,
of the stockholder rights plan described in the Issuer's Current Report on Form
8-K filed with the SEC on May 26, 2005; (iii) the waiver by the Board of
Directors of the Issuer of the applicable provisions of Section 203 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law; (iv) the negotiation, execution and delivery
of a definitive merger


                                       4

agreement, in mutually satisfactory form; (v) the requisite approval, if any, by
any governmental or regulatory agencies to the Offer and the obtaining of all
other necessary and agreed upon material third party consents, including,
without limitation, any franchisor or liquor license consents; (vi) the
execution of irrevocable agreements by certain stockholders of the Issuer to
vote and/or consent to the terms of the Offer, and to tender their shares of
Common Stock into a tender offer, if applicable; and (vii) the closing of the
financing necessary to consummate the Offer. The financing is subject to various
customary closing conditions as more fully set forth in Exhibit 2 hereto.

     At this time, no definitive agreement between Mr. Honigfeld and the Issuer
concerning the Offer has been reached and there can be no assurance that a
definitive agreement will be reached or that such an agreement, if reached, will
be consummated. Mr. Honigfeld anticipates that discussions between him and
management of the Issuer with respect to the Offer will be ongoing, and that
transactions relating to the Offer may take place at any time with or without
prior notice. Mr. Honigfeld will not decide as to the specific means of
proceeding with the Offer until after discussions with the Issuer have taken
place.

     The possible activities of Mr. Honigfeld with respect to the Offer and his
holdings in the Issuer are subject to change at any time depending upon, without
limitation, the price and availability of the Common Stock, subsequent
developments affecting the Issuer, the business prospects of the Issuer, general
stock market and economic conditions, tax considerations and other factors
deemed relevant. Mr. Honigfeld has engaged, and may in the future engage, legal
and other advisors to assist him in evaluating the Offer and/or strategic
alternatives that are or may become available with respect to his holdings in
the Issuer. Mr. Honigfeld may elect at any time not to pursue the Offer for any
reason or for no reason at all.

     Except as may develop with respect to the Offer, Mr. Honigfeld intends to
review his holdings in the Issuer on a continuing basis and, depending upon,
without limitation, the price and availability of the Common Stock, subsequent
developments affecting the Issuer, the business prospects of the Issuer, general
stock market and economic considerations, tax considerations and other factors
deemed relevant, may at any time (as permitted by applicable law) acquire
through open market purchases or otherwise additional shares of Common Stock;
sell shares of Common Stock through the open market or otherwise; engage or
participate in discussions with the Issuer's management and/or other
stockholders of the Issuer; or engage in a transaction or series of transactions
with the purpose or effect of acquiring or influencing control of the Issuer.
Such discussions or transactions may take place at any time with or without
prior notice and may include, without limitation, entering into one or more
privately negotiated acquisitions of additional shares of Common Stock, making a
tender offer for some or all of the Common Stock, waging a proxy contest for
control of the Board of Directors of the Issuer or taking other actions that
could have the purpose or effect of directly or indirectly acquiring or
influencing control of the Issuer.

     Alternatively, on September 6, 2005 the Issuer filed a Registration
Statement on Form S-3 with the SEC registering for resale 1,689,296 shares of
the Common Stock held by Mr. Honigfeld. Mr. Honigfeld reserves the right at any
time to determine not to pursue the Offer, and thereafter to either hold his
position in the Issuer or to sell all or a portion thereof.

     Mr. Honigfeld previously had discussions with fewer than 10 stockholders of
the Issuer concerning acquisitions of the Common Stock. However, except for the
agreement between Mr. Honigfeld and Seller, no arrangements, agreements or
understandings were made or reached in connection therewith.


                                       5

     Except as set forth in this Amendment, Mr. Honigfeld has no plan or
proposal that relates to or would result in any of the transactions described in
subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

     Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety
as follows:

     (a) Mr. Honigfeld has acquired and, for the purpose of Rule 13d-3
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, beneficially
owns 2,260,802 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 13.32% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.(1)

     (b) Mr. Honigfeld has sole power to vote and to dispose of 2,260,802 shares
of Common Stock.

     (c) None.

     (d) Inapplicable.

     (e) Inapplicable.

----------
(1)  For purposes of calculating the percentage of ownership of Common Stock
     held by Mr. Honigfeld, the Issuer is deemed to have 16,967,509 shares of
     Common Stock outstanding, as reported in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
     filed on August 10, 2005.

ITEM 7. MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.

     Exhibit 1: Letter dated October 12, 2005 from Mr. Honigfeld to the Board of
                Directors of the Issuer.

     Exhibit 2: Financing Commitment Letter, dated October 12, 2005, issued by
                Jefferies Funding LLC, and associated Term Sheets.

                                    SIGNATURE

     After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I
certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and
correct.
