Basis of Presentation | (1) Basis of Presentation ​ The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Texas Roadhouse, Inc. ("TRI"), our wholly-owned subsidiaries and subsidiaries in which we have a controlling interest (collectively the "Company," "we," "our" and/or "us") as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and for the 13 weeks ended March 31, 2020 and March 26, 2019. ​ As of March 31, 2020, we owned and operated 519 restaurants and franchised an additional 98 restaurants in 49 states and ten foreign countries. Of the 519 company restaurants that were operating at March 31, 2020, 499 were wholly-owned and 20 were majority-owned. Of the 98 franchise restaurants, 70 were domestic restaurants and 28 were international restaurants. Included within these restaurant totals are one company restaurant and 22 international franchise restaurants that have been temporarily closed due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. These stores continue to be included in the owned and operated totals as we believe they will re-open once it is considered safe to do so. ​ As of March 26, 2019, we owned and operated 495 restaurants and franchised an additional 93 restaurants in 49 states and ten foreign countries. Of the 495 company restaurants that were operating at March 26, 2019, 475 were wholly-owned and 20 were majority-owned. Of the 93 franchise restaurants, 69 were domestic restaurants and 24 were international restaurants. ​ As of March 31, 2020 and March 26, 2019, we owned a 5.0% to 10.0% equity interest in 24 domestic franchise restaurants. Additionally, as of March 31, 2020 and March 26, 2019, we owned a 40% equity interest in four non-Texas Roadhouse restaurants as part of a joint venture agreement with a casual dining restaurant operator in China. The unconsolidated restaurants are accounted for using the equity method. Our investments in these unconsolidated affiliates are included in other assets in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, and we record our percentage share of net income earned by these unconsolidated affiliates in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income under equity income from investments in unconsolidated affiliates. All significant intercompany balances and transactions for these unconsolidated restaurants as well as the entities whose accounts have been consolidated have been eliminated. ​ We have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reporting of revenue and expenses during the periods to prepare these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of property and equipment, goodwill, obligations related to insurance reserves, leases and leasehold improvements, legal reserves, gift card breakage and third-party fees and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. ​ In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, except that certain information and footnotes have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Operating results for the 13 weeks ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 29, 2020. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. ​ ​ ​ ​ Risks and Uncertainties ​ The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic. On March 13, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic (the "pandemic") was declared a National Public Health Emergency. As a result, several state and local mandates were implemented that encouraged the practice of social distancing, placed restrictions from individuals gathering in groups and, in many areas, placed complete restrictions on non-essential movement outside of the home. Shortly after the national emergency declaration, state and local officials began placing restrictions on restaurants, some of which allowed To-Go or curbside service only while others limited capacity in the dining room. By March 31, 2020, the last day of our Q1 2020 fiscal quarter, all of our domestic company and franchise restaurants were under state or local order which only allowed for To-Go or curbside service. ​ As a result of the temporary dining room closures, we have experienced a significant decrease in traffic which has impacted our operating results. While we have seen significant sales growth in our To-Go program, we currently do not expect these sales will generate a similar profit margin to our normal operating model. We expect our operating results to continue to be severely impacted until such time that state and local restrictions are lifted, and our dining rooms can re-open at full capacity. We cannot predict how long the pandemic will last or when the state and local restrictions will be lifted. In addition, we cannot predict how quickly our guests will return to our restaurants once such restrictions have been lifted or the impact this will have on consumer spending habits. ​ In addition, we continue to monitor federal and state plans to re-open the economy and have developed a framework that would allow us to implement a hybrid business model with limited capacity dining rooms together with enhanced To-Go through curbside service as permitted by local guidelines. We expect the re-opening process to be a gradual one with the safety of our employees and guests as our top priority. The extent of this re-opening process will determine the significance of the impact to our financial condition, financial results, and liquidity in future periods. In addition, significant items subject to estimates and assumptions including the carrying amount of property and equipment, goodwill, and lease related assets could be impacted. ​
