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 September 28, 2021 and December 29, 2020 and for the 13 and 39 weeks ended September 28, 2021 and September 29, 2020. ​ As of September 28, 2021, we owned and operated 555 restaurants and franchised an additional 99 restaurants in 49 states and ten foreign countries. Of the 555 company restaurants that were operating at September 28, 2021, 535 were wholly-owned and 20 were majority-owned. Of the 99 franchise restaurants, 69 were domestic restaurants and 30 were international restaurants. ​ As of September 29, 2020, we owned and operated 526 restaurants and franchised an additional 97 restaurants in 49 states and ten foreign countries. Of the 526 company restaurants that were operating at September 29, 2020, 506 were wholly-owned and 20 were majority-owned. Of the 97 franchise restaurants, 70 were domestic restaurants and 27 were international restaurants. ​ As of September 28, 2021 and September 29, 2020, we owned a 5.0% to 10.0% equity interest in 24 domestic franchise restaurants. Additionally, as of September 28, 2021 and September 29, 2020, we owned a 40% equity interest in two and four non-Texas Roadhouse restaurants, respectively, 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 (loss) 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 (the "SEC"). Operating results for the 13 and 39 weeks ended September 28, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 28, 2021. 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 29, 2020. ​ Our significant interim accounting policies include the recognition of income taxes using an estimated annual effective tax rate. ​ Risks and Uncertainties ​ The Company has been subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic (the "pandemic"). These include federal, state and local restrictions on restaurants, some of which have limited capacity or seating in the dining rooms while others have allowed to-go or curbside service only. As of September 28, 2021, all of our domestic company and franchise locations were operating without restriction. As of September 29, 2020, nearly all of our domestic company and franchise restaurants were operating their dining rooms under various limited capacity restrictions. ​ As a result of these restrictions, we developed a hybrid operating model to accommodate our dining room restrictions together with enhanced to-go. We continue to see increased sales in our to-go program over pre-pandemic levels, even with dining rooms operating without restriction. We cannot predict how long we will continue to be impacted by the pandemic, the extent to which our dining rooms will have to close again or otherwise have limited seating, or if the increased sales in our to-go program will continue. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our business, results of operations, or financial condition will depend on future developments which are outside of our control. This includes the efficacy and public acceptance of vaccination programs or testing mandates in curbing the spread of the virus, the introduction and spread of new variants of the virus, which may prove resistant to currently approved vaccines, and new or reinstated restrictions or regulations on our operations. 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. ​
