Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis Of Presentation | Basis of Presentation Business Description. At September 30, 2018 Carrols Restaurant Group, Inc. ("Carrols Restaurant Group") operated, as franchisee, 838 restaurants under the trade name “Burger King ® ” in 17 Northeastern, Midwestern and Southeastern states. Basis of Consolidation. Carrols Restaurant Group is a holding company and conducts all of its operations through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Carrols Corporation (“Carrols”) and Carrols' wholly-owned subsidiary, Carrols LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Carrols LLC's wholly-owned subsidiary Republic Foods, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("Republic Foods") . The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts of Carrols Restaurant Group and its wholly-owned subsidiary Carrols. Unless the context otherwise requires, Carrols Restaurant Group, Carrols, Carrols LLC and Republic Foods, Inc. are collectively referred to as the “Company.” All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Fiscal Year. The Company uses a 52 - 53 week fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to December 31. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017 each contained thirteen and thirty-nine weeks, respectively. The 2018 fiscal year will end December 30, 2018 and will contain 52 weeks. Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017 have been prepared without an audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include certain of the information and the footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of such unaudited consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2017 . The December 31, 2017 consolidated balance sheet data is derived from those audited consolidated financial statements. Use of Estimates. The preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 dates of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant items subject to such estimates include: accrued occupancy costs, insurance liabilities, evaluation for impairment of long-lived assets and franchise rights, lease accounting matters, the valuation of acquired assets and liabilities and the valuation of deferred income tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Segment Information. Operating segments are components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company's chief operating decision maker currently evaluates the Company's operations from a number of different operational perspectives; however resource allocation decisions are determined based on the chief operating decision maker's evaluation of the total Company operations. The Company derives all significant revenues from a single operating segment. Accordingly, the Company views the operating results of its Burger King restaurants as one reportable segment. Business Combinations. In accordance with ASC 805, the Company allocates the purchase price of an acquired business to its net identifiable assets and liabilities based on the estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the amount allocated to the assets and liabilities, if any, is recorded as goodwill. The excess value of the net identifiable assets and liabilities acquired over the purchase price, if any, is recorded as a bargain purchase gain. The Company uses all available information to estimate fair values of identifiable intangible assets and property acquired. In making these determinations, the Company may engage an independent third party valuation specialist to assist with the valuation of certain leasehold improvements, franchise rights and favorable and unfavorable leases. The Company estimates that the seller's carrying value of acquired restaurant equipment, subject to certain adjustments, is equivalent to fair value of this equipment at the date of the acquisition. The fair values of assumed franchise agreements are valued as if the remaining term of the agreement is at the market rate. The fair values of acquired land, buildings, certain leasehold improvements and restaurant equipment subject to capital leases are determined using both the cost approach and market approach. The fair value of the favorable and unfavorable leases acquired, as well as the fair value of land, buildings, leasehold improvements and restaurant equipment subject to capital leases acquired is measured using significant inputs observable in the open market. The Company categorizes all such inputs as Level 2 inputs under ASC 820. The fair value of acquired franchise rights is primarily determined using the income approach, and unobservable inputs classified as Level 3 under ASC 820. Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , the Company had $17.7 million and $27.6 million , respectively, invested in money market funds, which are classified as cash equivalents on the consolidated balance sheet. Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. In determining fair value, the accounting standards establish a three level hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 inputs are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; and Level 3 inputs are unobservable and reflect the Company's own assumptions. Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, accounts payable and long-term debt. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The fair value of the Carrols Restaurant Group 8.0% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2022 is based on a recent trading value, which is considered Level 2, and at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was approximately $286.9 million and $290.5 million , respectively. Fair value measurements of non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities are primarily used in the impairment analysis of long-lived assets, goodwill and intangible assets. Long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using Level 3 inputs. As described in Note 4, the Company recorded long-lived asset impairment charges of $0.1 million and $2.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and $0.5 million and $1.0 million during the three and nine months ended October 1, 2017 . Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted. In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU simplifies the accounting for goodwill by eliminating step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the new ASU, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company believes that this pronouncement will have no impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which has been subsequently amended and updated by issuing additional ASU’s that provide clarification and further guidance around areas identified as potential implementation issues. The ASU requires a lessee to recognize a liability for lease obligations, representing the discounted obligation to make minimum lease payments, and a corresponding right-of-use asset on the balance sheet. The Company anticipates implementing the standard using the modified retrospective transition method and anticipates recognizing a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption while continuing to present all prior periods under previous lease accounting guidance as permitted by the ASU. The Company also anticipates taking advantage of certain practical expedient options which, among other items, precludes the Company from needing to reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, the lease classification of any expired or existing leases, and initial direct costs for any existing leases. The ASU will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. The Company anticipates the ASU will have a material impact on the consolidated balance sheet upon recognition of the right-of-use asset and lease liability due to the significance of the Company's operating lease portfolio. Though the majority of the assessment is complete, the Company continues to evaluate the impact the adoption of this new guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as well as the impact on accounting policies and related disclosures. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Adopted. In May 2014, the FASB issued amended guidance for revenue recognition. The new guidance outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. Additionally, the guidance requires improved disclosure to help users of financial statements better understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. The new guidance supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance, and became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The new guidance did not impact the Company's recognition of revenue from Company-operated restaurant sales and did not impact the manner in which the Company recognizes revenue from its advertising fund or gift card program, as these are managed by its franchisor. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This ASU addresses the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows in order to eliminate diversity in practice. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. This new guidance did not impact the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Subsequent Events. The Company reviewed and evaluated subsequent events through the issuance date of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. On October 2, 2018, the Company acquired ten Burger King restaurants located in South Carolina and Georgia for a cash purchase price of $10.4 million , which included inventory, restaurant equipment and intangible assets. |

Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions Disclosures [Text Block] | Acquisitions In 2012, as part of an acquisition of restaurants from Burger King Corporation ("BKC"), the Company was assigned BKC's right of first refusal on the sale of franchisee-operated restaurants in 20 states (the "ROFR"). Since the beginning of 2017, the Company has acquired an aggregate of 98 restaurants from other franchisees in the following transactions, some of which were subject to the ROFR: Closing Date Number of Restaurants Purchase Price Market Location 2017 Acquisitions: February 28, 2017 43 $ 20,366 Cincinnati, Ohio June 5, 2017 (1) 17 16,355 Baltimore, Maryland and Washington, DC November 28, 2017 4 1,202 Maine 64 $ 37,923 2018 Acquisitions: February 13, 2018 (2) 1 — New York August 21, 2018 (1) 2 1,666 Detroit, MI September 5, 2018 (1) 31 25,929 Western Virginia Total 2017 and 2018 Acquisitions 98 $ 65,518 (1) Acquisitions resulting from the exercise of the ROFR. (2) This acquisition resulted in a bargain purchase gain because the fair value of assets acquired, largely representing a franchise right asset of $290 , exceeded the total fair value of consideration paid by $230 . The Company recognized this gain and recorded it as "Gain on bargain purchase" in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Company allocated the aggregate purchase price to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired in the acquisitions at their estimated fair values.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are due primarily to the book and tax bases difference of franchise rights, property and equipment, net favorable and unfavorable leases and other liabilities. The Company allocated the aggregate purchase price to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired in the acquisitions at their estimated fair values. The following table summarizes the final allocation of the aggregate purchase price for the three 2017 acquisitions as of December 31, 2017: Trade and other receivables $ 486 Inventory 616 Prepaid expenses 192 Other assets 52 Restaurant equipment 3,290 Cap lease assets 264 Leasehold improvements 2,496 Franchise fees 1,315 Franchise rights 24,691 Favorable leases 1,100 Deferred taxes (4,357 ) Goodwill 13,923 Capital lease obligation for equipment (316 ) Unfavorable leases (2,997 ) Accounts payable (880 ) Accrued payroll, related taxes and benefits (270 ) Other liabilities, long-term (1,682 ) Net assets acquired $ 37,923 The restaurants acquired in 2017 and 2018 contributed restaurant sales of $25.6 million and $71.2 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and the restaurant acquired in 2017 contributed restaurant sales of $22.0 million and $42.6 million in the three and nine months ended October 1, 2017 , respectively. It is impracticable to disclose net earnings for the post-acquisition period for the acquired restaurants as net earnings of these restaurants were not tracked on a collective basis due to the integration of administrative functions, including field supervision. The unaudited pro forma impact on the results of operations for the restaurants acquired in 2017 and 2018 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017 is included below.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Goodwill And Franchise Rights [Text Block] | Intangible Assets Goodwill. The Company is required to review goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired. If the determined fair value of goodwill is less than the related carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. The Company performs its annual impairment assessment as of the last day of its fiscal year and does not believe circumstances have changed since the last assessment date which would make it necessary to reassess the value of its goodwill. There have been no recorded goodwill impairment losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 or October 1, 2017 . The change in goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 is summarized below: Balance at December 31, 2017 $ 36,792 Acquisitions of restaurants (Note 2) 1,261 Balance at September 30, 2018 $ 38,053 Franchise Rights. Amounts allocated to franchise rights for each acquisition of Burger King restaurants are amortized using the straight-line method over the average remaining term of the acquired franchise agreements plus one twenty -year renewal period. The Company assesses the potential impairment of franchise rights whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If an indicator of impairment exists, an estimate of the aggregate undiscounted cash flows from the acquired restaurants is compared to the respective carrying value of franchise rights for each acquisition. If an asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured by the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. No impairment charges were recorded related to the Company’s franchise rights for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 or October 1, 2017 . The change in franchise rights for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 is summarized below: Balance at December 31, 2017 $ 152,028 Acquisitions of restaurants (Note 2) 22,037 Amortization expense (5,388 ) Balance at September 30, 2018 $ 168,677 Amortization expense related to franchise rights was $1.8 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017 and $5.4 million and $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017 , respectively. The Company expects annual amortization expense to be $7.3 million in 2018 and $7.8 million in each of the following five years. Favorable and Unfavorable Leases. Amounts allocated to favorable and unfavorable leases are being amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining terms of the underlying lease agreements as a net reduction of restaurant rent expense. The net reduction of rent expense related to the amortization of favorable and unfavorable leases was $0.2 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017 and $0.6 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017 . The Company expects the net annual reduction of rent expense to be $0.8 million in 2018 , $0.8 million in 2019 , $0.7 million in 2020 , $0.6 million in 2021 , $0.6 million in 2022 and $0.7 million in 2023 . |

Asset Impairment Charges [Abstract] | |
Asset Impairment Charges [Text Block] | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Other Lease Charges The Company reviews its long-lived assets, principally property and equipment, for impairment at the restaurant level. If an indicator of impairment exists for any of its assets, an estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows over the life of the primary asset for each restaurant is compared to that long-lived asset’s carrying value. If the carrying value is greater than the undiscounted cash flow, the Company then determines the fair value of the asset and if an asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured by the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. For closed restaurant locations, the Company reviews the future minimum lease payments and related ancillary costs from the date of the restaurant closure to the end of the remaining lease term and records a lease charge for the lease liabilities to be incurred, net of any estimated sublease recoveries. The Company determines the fair value of restaurant equipment, for those restaurants reviewed for impairment, based on current economic conditions and the Company’s history of using these assets in the operation of its business. These fair value asset measurements rely on significant unobservable inputs and are considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. During the three months ended September 30, 2018 , the Company recorded impairment and other lease charges of $0.2 million consisting of a loss of $0.1 million associated with a sale-leaseback of a restaurant property and $0.1 million of capital expenditures at underperforming restaurants. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , the Company recorded impairment and other lease charges of $3.4 million consisting of $0.6 million of capital expenditures at underperforming restaurants, losses of $0.7 million associated with sale-leaseback transactions of restaurant properties and $1.9 million related to the write-off of defective product holding unit kitchen equipment that was replaced. During the three months ended October 1, 2017 , the Company recorded impairment and other lease charges of $1.0 million which included $0.2 million of capital expenditures at previously impaired restaurants, $0.3 million associated with an underperforming restaurant anticipated to close in 2018 and $0.6 million of other lease charges associated with the closure of one underperforming restaurant and an acquired administrative office. During the nine months ended October 1, 2017 , the Company recorded impairment and other lease charges of $2.0 million , which included $0.5 million of capital expenditures at previously impaired restaurants, $0.5 million of asset impairment charges at four underperforming restaurants and $0.9 million of other lease charges primarily due to four restaurants and an acquired administrative office closed during the period. The following table presents the activity in the accrual for closed restaurant locations: Nine Months Ended Year Ended September 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 Balance, beginning of the period $ 2,028 $ 1,513 Provisions for closures 162 1,174 Changes in estimates of accrued costs (120 ) 81 Payments, net (746 ) (862 ) Other adjustments, including the effect of discounting future obligations 89 122 Balance, end of the period $ 1,413 $ 2,028 Changes in estimates of accrued costs primarily relate to revisions or terminations of certain closed restaurant leases, changes in assumptions for sublease income and other costs. |

The 8% Notes mature and are payable on May 1, 2022. Interest is payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1. The 8% Notes are guaranteed by the Company's subsidiaries and are secured by second-priority liens on substantially all of the Company's and its subsidiaries' assets (including a pledge of all of the capital stock and equity interests of its subsidiaries). The 8% Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company in whole or in part at any time after May 1, 2018 at a price of 104% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, if redeemed before May 1, 2019, 102% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, if redeemed after May 1, 2019 but before May 1, 2020 and 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, if redeemed after May 1, 2020.

Senior Credit Facility. On May 30, 2012, the Company entered into a senior credit facility, which has a maturity date of February 12, 2021, and was most recently amended on June 20, 2017 to increase the permitted indebtedness of our second lien notes to a principal amount not to exceed $300.0 million in order to provide for the additional $75.0 million of the 8% Notes issued on June 23, 2017. On January 13, 2017, the senior credit facility was amended to, among other things, provide for maximum revolving credit borrowings of up to $73.0 million (including $20.0 million available for letters of credit). The amended senior credit facility also provides for potential incremental borrowing increases of up to $25.0 million , in the aggregate. As of September 30, 2018 , there were no revolving credit borrowings outstanding and $12.0 million of letters of credit were issued under the senior credit facility. After reserving for issued letters of credit and outstanding revolving credit borrowings, $61.0 million was available for revolving credit borrowings under the amended senior credit facility at September 30, 2018 . Borrowings under the senior credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum, at the Company’s option, of: (i) the Alternate Base Rate plus the applicable margin of 1.75% to 2.75% based on the Company’s Adjusted Leverage Ratio, or (ii) the LIBOR Rate plus the applicable margin of 2.75% to 3.75% based on the Company’s Adjusted Leverage Ratio (all terms as defined under the senior credit facility).

Income Taxes | Income Taxes The provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017 was comprised of the following: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 October 1, 2017 September 30, 2018 October 1, 2017 Current $ 2 $ — $ 162 $ — Deferred 146 (48 ) 184 608 Provision for income taxes $ 148 $ (48 ) $ 346 $ 608 On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act") was signed into law. The Act reduces the corporate tax rate to 21% from 35% while retaining the employment tax credits the Company is eligible for. In addition, the Act provides for one hundred percent expensing of certain qualified property placed in service after September 27, 2017. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amount used for income tax purposes. The provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was derived using an estimated effective annual income tax rate for all of 2018 of 4.5% , which excludes any discrete tax adjustments and is below the statutory rate due to the effect of fixed employment tax credits on taxable income. The benefits of federal employment credits are not directly related to the amount of pre-tax income recorded in a period. Accordingly, in periods where recorded pre-tax income is relatively small, the proportional effect of these items on the effective tax rate may be significant. There were no discrete adjustments for the three months ended September 30, 2018 . The provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2017 was derived using an estimated effective annual income tax rate for all of 2017 of (6.7)% , which excludes any discrete tax adjustments and was below the statutory rate due to the effect of fixed employment tax credits on taxable income. The income tax expense for the nine months ended October 1, 2017 contains net discrete tax adjustments of $0.9 million of income tax expense. As of September 30, 2018 , the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $84.4 million which expire beginning in 2033 . The Company's state net operating loss carryforwards expire beginning in 2018 through 2037. The Company's policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits and no accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions. The tax years 2014 - 2017 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. Although it is not reasonably possible to estimate the amount by which unrecognized tax benefits may increase within the next twelve months due to the uncertainties regarding the timing of examinations, the Company does not expect unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next twelve months. |

Related Party Transactions [Abstract] | |
Related Party Transactions Disclosure [Text Block] | Transactions with Related Parties In connection with an acquisition of restaurants from BKC in 2012, the Company issued to BKC 100 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which is convertible into approximately 20.5% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock on a fully diluted basis. Pursuant to the terms of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, BKC also has two representatives on the Company's board of directors. Each of the Company's restaurants operates under a separate franchise agreement with BKC. These franchise agreements generally provide for an initial term of twenty years and currently have an initial franchise fee of fifty thousand dollars. Any franchise agreement, including renewals, can be extended at the Company's discretion for an additional 20 year term, with BKC's approval, provided that, among other things, the restaurant meets the current Burger King image standard and the Company is not in default under terms of the franchise agreement. In addition to the initial franchise fee, the Company generally pays BKC a monthly royalty at a rate of 4.5 % of sales. Royalty expense was $12.8 million and $12.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017 , respectively and was $37.3 million and $34.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017 , respectively. The Company is also generally required to contribute 4 % of restaurant sales from its restaurants to an advertising fund utilized by BKC for its advertising, promotional programs and public relations activities, and additional amounts for additional local advertising in markets that approve such advertising. Advertising expense associated with these expenditures was $11.8 million and $11.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017 , respectively and was $34.8 million and $32.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017 , respectively. As of September 30, 2018 , the Company leased 245 of its restaurant locations from BKC and 117 of these locations are subleased by BKC from a third-party lessor. Aggregate rent under these BKC leases was $6.8 million and $7.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017 , respectively and $20.3 million and $20.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017 , respectively. The Company believes the related party lease terms have not been significantly affected by the fact that the Company and BKC are deemed to be related parties. As of September 30, 2018 , the Company owed BKC $9.4 million related to the payment of advertising, royalties and rent, which is remitted on a monthly basis. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Net Income (Loss) Per Share | Net Income per Share The Company applies the two-class method to calculate and present net income per share. The Company's non-vested share awards and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued to BKC contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends and are considered participating securities for purposes of computing net income per share pursuant to the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net earnings are reduced by the amount of dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and the remaining undistributed earnings are then allocated to common stock and participating securities, based on their respective rights to receive dividends. Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted net income per share reflects additional shares of common stock outstanding, where applicable, calculated using the treasury stock method or the two-class method. The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 October 1, 2017 September 30, 2018 October 1, 2017 Basic net income per share: Net income $ 3,611 $ 2,795 $ 8,297 $ 3,238 Less: Income attributable to non-vested shares (63 ) (45 ) (147 ) (54 ) Less: Income attributable to preferred stock (740 ) (577 ) (1,701 ) (669 ) Net income available to common stockholders $ 2,808 $ 2,173 $ 6,449 $ 2,515 Weighted average common shares outstanding 35,735,680 35,431,806 35,707,245 35,410,482 Basic net income per share $ 0.08 $ 0.06 $ 0.18 $ 0.07 Diluted net income per share: Net income $ 3,611 $ 2,795 $ 8,297 $ 3,238 Shares used in computing basic net income per share 35,735,680 35,431,806 35,707,245 35,410,482 Dilutive effect of preferred stock and non-vested shares 9,674,876 9,505,835 9,586,010 9,555,782 Shares used in computing diluted net income per share 45,410,556 44,937,641 45,293,255 44,966,264 Diluted net income per share (1) $ 0.08 $ 0.06 $ 0.18 $ 0.07 (1) Diluted net income per share is equal to basic net income per share for the periods presented due to the allocation of earnings to participating securities under the two-class method of calculating basic net income per share causing basic net income per share to be lower than diluted net income per share calculated under the treasury-stock method. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Basis of Consolidation. Carrols Restaurant Group is a holding company and conducts all of its operations through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Carrols Corporation (“Carrols”) and Carrols' wholly-owned subsidiary, Carrols LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Carrols LLC's wholly-owned subsidiary Republic Foods, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("Republic Foods") . The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts of Carrols Restaurant Group and its wholly-owned subsidiary Carrols. Unless the context otherwise requires, Carrols Restaurant Group, Carrols, Carrols LLC and Republic Foods, Inc. are collectively referred to as the “Company.” All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Fiscal Period, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Fiscal Year. The Company uses a 52 - 53 week fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to December 31. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017 each contained thirteen and thirty-nine weeks, respectively. |
Basis of Presentation, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017 have been prepared without an audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include certain of the information and the footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of such unaudited consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. |
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Use of Estimates. The preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 dates of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant items subject to such estimates include: accrued occupancy costs, insurance liabilities, evaluation for impairment of long-lived assets and franchise rights, lease accounting matters, the valuation of acquired assets and liabilities and the valuation of deferred income tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Segment Information. Operating segments are components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company's chief operating decision maker currently evaluates the Company's operations from a number of different operational perspectives; however resource allocation decisions are determined based on the chief operating decision maker's evaluation of the total Company operations. The Company derives all significant revenues from a single operating segment. Accordingly, the Company views the operating results of its Burger King restaurants as one reportable segment. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. In determining fair value, the accounting standards establish a three level hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 inputs are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; and Level 3 inputs are unobservable and reflect the Company's own assumptions. Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, accounts payable and long-term debt. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The fair value of the Carrols Restaurant Group 8.0% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2022 is based on a recent trading value, which is considered Level 2, and at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was approximately $286.9 million and $290.5 million , respectively. Fair value measurements of non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities are primarily used in the impairment analysis of long-lived assets, goodwill and intangible assets. Long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using Level 3 inputs. |

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Goodwill. The Company is required to review goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired. If the determined fair value of goodwill is less than the related carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. The Company performs its annual impairment assessment as of the last day of its fiscal year and does not believe circumstances have changed since the last assessment date which would make it necessary to reassess the value of its goodwill. |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Franchise Rights. Amounts allocated to franchise rights for each acquisition of Burger King restaurants are amortized using the straight-line method over the average remaining term of the acquired franchise agreements plus one twenty -year renewal period. |
Intangible Assets, Finite-Lived, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Favorable and Unfavorable Leases. Amounts allocated to favorable and unfavorable leases are being amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining terms of the underlying lease agreements as a net reduction of restaurant rent expense. |

Asset Impairment Charges [Abstract] | |
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block] | The Company reviews its long-lived assets, principally property and equipment, for impairment at the restaurant level. If an indicator of impairment exists for any of its assets, an estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows over the life of the primary asset for each restaurant is compared to that long-lived asset’s carrying value. If the carrying value is greater than the undiscounted cash flow, the Company then determines the fair value of the asset and if an asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured by the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. For closed restaurant locations, the Company reviews the future minimum lease payments and related ancillary costs from the date of the restaurant closure to the end of the remaining lease term and records a lease charge for the lease liabilities to be incurred, net of any estimated sublease recoveries. The Company determines the fair value of restaurant equipment, for those restaurants reviewed for impairment, based on current economic conditions and the Company’s history of using these assets in the operation of its business. These fair value asset measurements rely on significant unobservable inputs and are considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | The Company applies the two-class method to calculate and present net income per share. The Company's non-vested share awards and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued to BKC contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends and are considered participating securities for purposes of computing net income per share pursuant to the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net earnings are reduced by the amount of dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and the remaining undistributed earnings are then allocated to common stock and participating securities, based on their respective rights to receive dividends. Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted net income per share reflects additional shares of common stock outstanding, where applicable, calculated using the treasury stock method or the two-class method. |
