Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies | |
Organization, Consolidation, Basis of Presentation, Business Description and Accounting Policies [Text Block] | (1) Basis of Presentation Basis of Presentation In September 2019 a holding company reorganization was completed in which Famous Dave’s of America, Inc. (“FDA”) became a wholly owned subsidiary of the new parent holding company named BBQ Holdings, Inc. (“BBQ Holdings”). As used in this Form 10-K, “Company”, “we” and “our” refer to BBQ Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiaries. BBQ Holdings was incorporated on March 29, 2019 under the laws of the State of Minnesota, while FDA was incorporated in Minnesota on March 14, 1994. The Company develops, owns and operates restaurants under the name “Famous Dave’s”, “Clark Crew BBQ”, “Granite City Food & Brewery” and “Real Urban Barbecue.” Additionally, the Company franchises restaurants under the name “Famous Dave’s”. As of April 4, 2021, there were 128 Famous Dave’s restaurants operating in 31 states, Canada, and the United Arab Emirates, including 27 Company-owned restaurants and 101 franchise-operated restaurants. The first Clark Crew BBQ restaurant opened in December 2019 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. BBQ Holdings has a 20 % ownership in this venture. In March 2020, the Company purchased 18 Granite City Food & Brewery restaurants located throughout the Midwest and one Real Urban Barbecue restaurant located in Vernon Hills, Illinois. These accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rules and Regulations. The information furnished in these condensed consolidated financial statements include normal recurring adjustments and reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited financial statements represent the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as of April 4, 2021 and January 3, 2021, and for the three months ended April 4, 2021 and March 29, 2020. The results for the three months ended April 4, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other interim period. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in BBQ Holding, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2021 as filed with the SEC on April 2, 2021. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic and the United States declared a National Public Health Emergency. As a result, public health measures were taken to minimize exposure to the virus. These measures, some of which are government-mandated, have been implemented globally resulting in a dramatic decrease in economic activity. During the first quarter of 2021, mandated restrictions began to ease in a number of the markets in which the Company operates. Although the Company has experienced some recovery from the initial impact of COVID-19, the long-term impact of COVID-19 on the economy and on its business remains uncertain, the duration and scope of which cannot currently be predicted. The Company cannot predict if there will be another surge, what additional restrictions may be enacted, to what extent it can maintain off-premise sales volumes, whether it can maintain sufficient staffing levels, or if individuals will be comfortable returning to its dining rooms during or following social distancing protocols, and what long-lasting effects the COVID-19 pandemic may have on the restaurants industry as a whole. The extent of the reopening process, along with the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on consumer spending behavior, which may be a function of continued concerns over safety and/or depressed consumer sentiment due to adverse economic conditions, including job losses, will determine the significance of the impact to the Company’s operating results and financial position. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve as of the date of this report. The duration of the disruption on global, national, and local economies cannot be reasonably estimated at this time due to the ongoing effects of this situation. Management is continually evaluating the impact of this global crisis on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce and will take additional actions as necessary. Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. These reclassifications did not have an impact on the reported net income for any of the periods presented. Income Taxes The Company maintains a federal deferred tax asset (“DTA”) in the amount of $4.9 million as of April 4, 2021 and January 3, 2021. The Company evaluates the DTA on a quarterly basis to determine whether current facts and circumstances indicate that the DTA may not be fully realizable. As of April 4, 2021, the Company concluded that the DTA is fully realizable and that no further valuation allowance was necessary; however, the Company will continue to evaluate the DTA on a quarterly basis until the DTA has been fully utilized. The following table presents the Company’s effective tax rates for the periods presented: Three Months Ended April 4, 2021 March 29, 2020 Effective tax rate 10.5 % (2.7) % The Company provides for income taxes based on its estimate of federal and state income tax liabilities. These estimates include, among other items, effective rates for state and local income taxes, allowable tax credits for items such as taxes paid on reported tip income, estimates related to depreciation and amortization expense allowable for tax purposes, and the tax deductibility of certain other items. The Company’s estimates are based on the information available at the time that the Company prepares the income tax provision. The Company generally files its annual income tax returns several months after its fiscal year-end. Income tax returns are subject to audit by federal, state, and local governments, generally years after the tax returns are filed. These returns could be subject to material adjustments due to differing interpretations of the tax laws. Cash and cash equivalents On May 14, 2020, the Company invested $3.5 million in a certificate of deposit (CD) through Choice Bank. The interest rate on this CD is 0.15 %. Interest is compounded every 30 days and the CD automatically renews monthly. This balance is included with cash and cash equivalents on the Company’s balance sheet. Restricted cash and marketing fund The Company has a Marketing Development Fund, to which Company-owned Famous Dave’s restaurants, in addition to the majority of franchise-operated restaurants, contribute a percentage of net sales, for use in public relations and marketing development efforts. The funds held in this account are used in part to reimburse the Company for its marketing and digital services activities on behalf of the Famous Dave’s brand. The Company also receives funds from its suppliers to be used exclusively for point-of-sale equipment purchases for its own stores as well as its franchisees. As the assets held by these funds are considered to be restricted, the Company reflects the cash related to these funds within restricted cash and reflect the liability within accrued expenses on its consolidated balance sheets. The Company had approximately $1.4 million and $1.5 million in these funds as of April 4, 2021 and January 3, 2021, respectively. Assets Held for Sale As of April 4, 2021, the Company had assets held for sale of approximately $1.1 million related to an owned property for which it has entered into agreements to sell for a contract purchase price of $2.5 million. Net income per common share Basic net income per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted EPS equals net income divided by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus all additional common stock equivalents, such as stock options and restricted stock units, when dilutive. Three Months Ended (in thousands, except per share data) April 4, 2021 March 29, 2020 Net income per share – basic: Net income attributable to shareholders $ 799 $ 13,707 Weighted average shares outstanding - basic 9,208 9,121 Basic net income per share attributable to shareholders $ 0.09 $ 1.50 Net income per share – diluted: Net income attributable to shareholders $ 799 $ 13,707 Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted 9,501 9,202 Diluted net income per share attributable to shareholders $ 0.08 $ 1.49 There were approximately 24,000 and 228,197 stock options outstanding as of April 4, 2021 and March 29, 2020, respectively, that were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because they were anti-dilutive. |

Long-term Debt and Financing Lease Obligations | |
Long-term Debt | (6) Long-Term Debt On June 20, 2019, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement among the Company and Choice Financial Group. The Loan Agreement provides for a term loan in the principal amount of up to $24.0 million and is evidenced by a promissory note. The note has a maturity date of June 20, 2025. The first year of the note provided for payments of interest only, with the remaining five years requiring payments of interest and principal based on a 60 month amortization period. Interest is payable in an amount equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate, but in no circumstances shall the rate of interest be less than 5.00%. The note may be prepaid, partially or in full, at any time and for no prepayment penalty. The Company is subject to various financial and non-financial covenants on this debt, including a debt-service coverage ratio. As of April 4, 2021, the note balance was $9.9 million, and the Company was compliant with all of its covenants. In fiscal year 2020, the Company received funds of approximately $14.0 million in aggregate in connection with “Small Business Loans” under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP Loans”). These amounts were borrowed pursuant to the terms of the PPP Loans, in favor of Choice Financial Group. After a thorough review and consultation with advisors, pursuant to the guidance provided by Small Business Administration, the Company was able to certify with a high level of confidence that it met the requirements of the loans which bear interest at 1% per annum and mature in 24 months from the date of disbursement of funds. Under certain circumstances, all or a portion of the PPP Loans may be forgiven, however, there can be no assurance that any portion of the PPP Loans will be forgiven and that the Company would not be required to repay all or part of the PPP Loans. If the PPP Loans are forgiven in full, no interest and principal payments will be required. Interest and principal payments under the PPP Loans are being deferred until such time the amount of forgiveness is determined. The PPP Loans contain certain covenants which, among other things, restrict the borrower’s use of the proceeds of the PPP Loans to the payment of payroll costs, interest on mortgage obligations, rent obligations and utility expenses. In addition, the PPP Loans require compliance with all other loans or other agreements with any creditor of the borrower, to the extent that a default under any loan or other agreement would materially affect the borrower’s ability to repay the PPP Loans and limit the ability of the borrower to make certain changes to its ownership structure. Debt outstanding under the above referenced promissory notes consisted of the following as of the periods presented: (in thousands) April 4, 2021 January 3, 2021 Term Loan $ 9,884 $ 10,403 PPP Loans 13,957 13,957 Less: deferred financing costs (75) (80) Less: current portion of long-term debt (2,138) (2,111) Long-term debt, less current portion $ 21,628 $ 22,169 |

Variable Interest Entities | |
Variable Interest Entities | (10) Variable Interest Entities A variable interest holder is considered to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) if it has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Once an entity is determined to be a VIE, the primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the entity. The Company has an installment agreement with one of its franchisees as a result of refranchising its Lincoln, Nebraska restaurant. This franchisee is a VIE; however, the owners of the franchise operations are the primary beneficiaries of the entities, not the Company. Therefore, the franchise operations are not required to be consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. On July 18, 2018, the Company and Clark Championship Products LLC (“Clark”), an entity owned by Travis Clark, became members of Mercury BBQ LLC (“Mercury”) for the purposes of building out and operating the inaugural Clark Crew BBQ restaurant in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (the “Restaurant”). Clark will own 80% of the units outstanding of Mercury and the Company will own 20% of the units outstanding of Mercury. Because the Company has provided more than half of the subordinated financial support of Mercury and control Mercury via its representation on the board of managers, the Company has concluded that Mercury is a VIE, of which the Company is the primary beneficiary and must consolidate Mercury. Mercury generated a net loss of approximately $128,000 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, of which $102,000 was recorded as non-controlling interest on our condensed consolidated financial statements. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, Mercury generated a net loss of $496,000, of which $396,000 was recorded as non-controlling interest on our condensed consolidated financial statements. As of April 4, 2021, Mercury’s assets included approximately $2.9 million of property, equipment and leasehold improvements, net, a $1.8 million ROU asset and $158,000 of inventory. The liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating Mercury BBQ’s results of operations do not represent additional claims on the general assets of BBQ Holdings, Inc.; rather, they represent claims against the specific assets of the Mercury BBQ’s. Conversely, assets recognized as a result of consolidating the Mercury BBQ’s results of operations do not represent additional assets that could be used to satisfy claims against the general assets of BBQ Holdings. |

Litigation [Abstract] | |
Litigation Disclosure [Text Block] | (11) Litigation As of the date of this filing, there are two potentially material litigation matters involving the Company. Graham v. Famous Dave’s of America, Inc., has been ongoing since January 2019. It revolves around claims under Maryland wage and hour law and the U.S. Fair Labor Standards Act. After reviewing all the evidence during discovery, the Company believes there is some liability on its part but is in the midst of determining that total exposure. The Company has been in settlement talks with the Plaintiff. At this time the parties have agreed to a final settlement value of $995,000 . If the court approves this amount, the case will be settled for that value. The Company believes it has appropriately accrued for the settlement amount at this time. Zia Properties v. Famous Dave’s of America, Inc. is a breach of contract case revolving around the Colorado Springs, Co lease. The Company exited the property at the end of the lease in August 2020. The Landlord claims, pursuant to the lease, that the Company was required to make certain repairs before exiting. The Company disagrees with all the claims in the complaint and will vigorously defend. In March 2021, the Company completed an agreement in the case of Hamilton Commons v. Famous Dave’s of America, Inc. related to a breach of contract of a lease of the Famous Dave’s at Mays Landing, NJ. The parties agreed to dismiss the matter as a result of the Lease Modification (the “Agreement”) which was executed by all the parties. The Agreement stipulated that in consideration for $130,000, the Company would continue to make monthly payments beginning in March 2021, the parties shall both market the property to find a new tenant to replace the Company before the lease term expires, and at the time this lease terminates or ends, the landlord shall pay $193,000 for the liquor license, which is owned by the Company. There are terms in the Agreement about the criteria of the new tenant the landlord can choose to accept or deny and that the Company must supplement the rent of the new tenant if the rent paid by the new tenant does not meet or exceed what the Company would pay through January 31, 2023. In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in a number of litigation matters that are incidental to the operation of the business. These matters generally include, among other things, matters with regard to employment and general business-related issues. The Company currently believes that the resolution of any of these pending matters will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position or liquidity, but an adverse decision in more than one of the matters could be material to its consolidated results of operations. |
