Accounting Policies [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	BASIS OF PRESENTATION Description of Business — As of March 26, 2017 , Bravo Brio Restaurant Group, Inc. (the “Company”) operated 117 restaurants under the trade names “Bravo! Cucina Italiana ® ,” “Brio Tuscan Grille ™ ,” and “Bon Vie ® .” Of the 117 restaurants the Company operates, there are 51 Bravo! Cucina Italiana ® restaurants, 65 Brio Tuscan Grille ™ restaurants and one Bon Vie ® restaurant in operation in 33 states throughout the United States of America. The Company owns all of its restaurants with the exception of one Brio Tuscan Grille ™ restaurant, which it operates under a management agreement and for which operation it receives a management fee. Additionally, one Brio Tuscan Grille ™ restaurant is operated under a franchise agreement. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The operating results included herein are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances at the time. Actual amounts may differ from those estimates. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and related condensed notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2016 filed with the SEC on March 6, 2017 (the “ 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . This ASU provides a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Additionally, this guidance expands related disclosure requirements. The pronouncement is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. This ASU permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the overall impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements. While the Company continues to assess all potential impacts of this ASU, it currently believes the most significant impact relates to accounting for unredeemed gift cards (breakage). Under this ASU, the Company expects to recognize breakage proportional to actual gift card redemptions. Additionally, this ASU requires enhanced disclosures, including significant judgments in measurement and recognition. The Company is continuing its assessment, which may identify other impacts. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory: Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (Topic 330) . This ASU provides guidance on the subsequent measurement of inventory, which changes the measurement from lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value. This ASU defines net realizable value as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation and is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted this ASU during the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2017. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . This ASU requires organizations to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and also disclose key information about leasing arrangements. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual period. As of March 26, 2017 , the Company has not adopted this ASU. The Company has not completed the process of evaluating the impact that will result from adopting this ASU and is therefore unable to disclose the impact that adopting this ASU will have on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) . This ASU is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted this ASU during the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2017. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

On October 31, 2016, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2014 Credit Agreement (the "Amendment"). The Amendment redefined the Company's senior credit facilities and provides for (i) a $35.0 million term loan facility, maturing in 2019 , and (ii) a revolving credit facility under which the Company may borrow up to $30.0 million (including a sublimit cap of up to $10.0 million for letters of credit and up to $10.0 million for swing-line loans), maturing in 2019 . Borrowings under the senior credit facilities bear interest at (i) the Base Rate (as such term is defined in the Amendment) plus the applicable margin of 1.50% to 2.00% or (ii) at a fixed rate for a period of one, two, three or six months equal to the London interbank offered rate, LIBOR, plus the applicable margin of 2.50% to 3.00% . In addition to making fixed quarterly principal payments under the Company’s senior credit facilities, the Company is required to pay an unused facility fee to the lenders equal to 0.30% to 0.50% per annum on the aggregate amount of the unused revolving credit facility, excluding swing-line loans, payable quarterly in arrears. Borrowings under the Company’s senior credit facilities are collateralized by a first priority interest in substantially all tangible and intangible personal property of the Company and its subsidiaries. The 2014 Credit Agreement provides for bank guarantees under standby letter of credit arrangements in the normal course of business operations. The standby letters of credit are cancellable only at the option of the beneficiary who is authorized to draw drafts on the issuing bank up to the face amount of the standby letters of credit in accordance with its credit. As of March 26, 2017 , the maximum exposure under these standby letters of credit was $2.9 million . Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company is required to meet certain financial covenants including a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum consolidated lease-adjusted leverage ratio and a minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. In addition to these financial tests, the Amendment places limitations on new restaurant leases until the lease-adjusted leverage ratio meets certain thresholds.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION	STOCK BASED COMPENSATION In June 2006, the Company adopted the Bravo Development, Inc. Option Plan (the “2006 Plan”) in order to provide an incentive to employees. In conjunction with the Company’s initial public offering, all of the then outstanding options under the 2006 Plan became exercisable and the 2006 Plan was terminated. No further compensation costs will be recorded under the 2006 Plan. The 2006 Plan was replaced with the Bravo Brio Restaurant Group, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”), which was adopted in October 2010. 2006 Plan Stock option activity for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2017 is summarized as follows: Number of Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Outstanding at December 25, 2016 56,691 $ 1.45 Exercised (2,204 ) $ 1.45 Granted — $ — Forfeited (19,086 ) $ 1.45 Outstanding at March 26, 2017 35,401 $ 1.45 Exercisable at March 26, 2017 35,401 $ 1.45 At March 26, 2017 , the weighted-average remaining contractual term of options outstanding was approximately 1.6 years and all of the options were exercisable. Aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the Company’s closing price at the end of the fiscal quarter and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options and represents the pre-tax amount that would have been received by the option holders had they all exercised such options on the fiscal quarter end date. The aggregate intrinsic value for outstanding and exercisable options at March 26, 2017 was $0.1 million . Stock Incentive Plan Restricted stock activity for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2017 is summarized as follows: Number of Shares Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value Outstanding at December 25, 2016 320,570 $ 9.20 Granted 228,500 $ 4.75 Vested (70,873 ) $ 12.09 Forfeited (12,225 ) $ 10.23 Outstanding at March 26, 2017 465,972 $ 6.55 Fair value of the outstanding shares of restricted stock is based on the average of the high and low price of the Company’s shares on the date immediately preceding the date of grant. Stock compensation costs related to shares of restricted stock were approximately $0.3 million and $0.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2017 and March 27, 2016 , respectively. As of March 26, 2017 , total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested shares of restricted stock was approximately $2.6 million taking into account potential forfeitures, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.3 years . These shares of restricted stock will vest, subject to certain exceptions, annually over a four -year period. The Company's restricted stock award agreements allow employees to surrender to the Company shares of stock upon vesting in lieu of their payment of the required personal employment-related taxes. Employees surrendered to the Company 4,732 and 20,019 shares of restricted stock towards the minimum statutory tax withholdings, which the Company recorded as a reduction in common shares in the amount of approximately $20.0 thousand and $149.0 thousand , for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2017 and March 27, 2016 , respectively.

INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXES	3 Months Ended

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Both positive and negative evidence are considered in forming management’s judgment as to whether a valuation allowance is appropriate, and more weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified. Due to the impairment charges recorded during 2016 and 2015, the Company is in a three-year cumulative loss position. According to ASC Topic No. 740, Income Taxes ("ASU 740"), cumulative losses in recent years represent significant negative evidence in considering whether deferred tax assets are realizable. Based on the required weight of that evidence under ASC 740, the Company has determined that a valuation allowance was needed for all of its net deferred income tax assets. The Company recorded valuation allowances of $65.6 million and $64.7 million as of March 26, 2017 and December 25, 2016 , respectively. The tax benefits relating to any reversal of the valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets will be recognized as a reduction of future income tax expense.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is subject to various claims, possible legal actions, and other matters arising out of the normal course of business. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of these issues, management is of the opinion that adequate provision for potential losses has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In May 2016, a former restaurant hourly employee filed a putative class and collective action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Missouri, Mamdooh Hussein v. Bravo Brio Restaurant Group, Inc. , alleging that the Company violated Missouri wage and hour law and the Fair Labor Standards Act, as interpreted by the Department of Labor, by not paying regular minimum wage for time spent performing non-tipped duties. In March 2017, the Company and the plaintiffs in this litigation agreed in principle to settle the litigation. Based upon the conditions of this settlement, the Company has recorded a total expense of $2.1 million in potential settlement and legal costs during the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2017, but the proposed settlement may result in a loss of $1.8 million in excess of the amount recorded. In 2016, the Company recorded $0.5 million in potential settlement and legal costs related to this matter. In August 2016, a former restaurant hourly employee filed a putative class and collective action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Western District of New York, Robert Andreescu v. Bravo Brio Restaurant Group, Inc. , alleging that the Company violated New York wage and hour law and the Fair Labor Standards Act, as interpreted by the Department of Labor, by not paying regular minimum wage for time spent performing non-tipped duties. The lawsuit seeks unspecified penalties in addition to other monetary payments. The Company intends to defend this case vigorously, but it is not possible at this time to reasonably estimate the outcome of or any potential liability from this case. During the quarter, the Company settled a loss claim asserted by the Company which previously arose and recognized a gain of $0.5 million to general and administrative expenses. The majority of the gain pertained to compensation for the Company’s lost operating income awarded by the claims administrator pursuant to the settlement agreement reached in litigation related to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
