35 Keto-Friendly Restaurants With Tasty Low-Carb Meals You'll Love

Unfortunately, you won't be able to cash in on this chain's infamous Cheddar Bay Biscuits — but Red Lobster is otherwise a dream for keto dieters. Seafood is low in carbohydrates naturally, and Red Lobster allows diners the chance to create fresh seafood platters through its Create Your Own Feast offerings. Its Garlic Shrimp Scampi is served without carb-heavy pasta but has plenty of savory butter and seasonings, clocking in at a mere 6g of carbohydrates. Salmon filets, steaks, fresh lobster and a myriad of shrimp dishes are all below 10g net carbohydrates; paired with steamed veggies or a house salad, these meals will quickly itch any keto-sized scratch for a seafood feast.

Create Your Own Feast Garlic Shrimp Scampi: 430 calories, 35g fat (7g saturated fat), 1,940mg sodium, 6g carbs, 1g fiber, 1g sugar, 24g protein.

You may have to walk an obstacle course between breadsticks and giant bowls of pasta to get to your table at this always-popular chain, but once you get settled in your seat, you can feast on a scrumptious dish of herb-grilled salmon topped with garlic butter with a heaping portion of parmesan broccoli on the side. A true keto-dieter's delight.

Sure, you’re never going to sit down for a full keto meal at Starbucks, but while you're grabbing your java (black coffee with Stevia is the go-to keto choice), you may get the munchies and wonder what you can snack on that will fit into your eating plan. Walk quickly past the display of scones and cookies, and look for either a Creminelli Snack Tray filled with salami and Monterey Jack cheese, or grab a couple of bacon and gruyere sous vide egg bites.

Bacon and Gruyere Sous Vide Egg Bites: 300 cals, 20 g fat, 9 g carbs, 0 dietary fiber, 2 g sugar, 19 g protein

When you're hankering for a fresh, fast and keto-friendly lunch, head to your local Chipotle, but skip the carb-loaded burritos and ask for a Lifestyle Keto Bowl, which comes with either antibiotic-free chicken or steak, cheese, gaucamole and salsa over supergreens.

Dr. Axe is a big fan of any restaurant that lets you build your own meal from bottom on up. “At Chopt, you can customize your meal with plenty of healthy options, like leafy greens, fresh herbs, meats, eggs, and fresh vegetables,” he says. But if standing at the counter trying to choose your ingredients with a line of hungry, impatient people waiting behind you is too much pressure, simply go for the Classic Cobb Salad, filled with yummy proteins and fats, including grilled chicken, avocado, bacon, eggs and blue cheese over greens.

In what seems like the deal of the century, you get 6 ounces each of a top sirloin steak and an Atlantic salmon filet for around 20 bucks at this moderately priced, family-friendly restaurant. Pass right by those mashed potatoes and opt for the broccoli, asparagus or green salad on the side instead.

As a keto dieter, you're probably up to your eyeballs in salmon. And though we love the fatty orange-fleshed fish, sometimes it's nice to try something different! The old-timey family-restaurant chain Cracker Barrel has an appealing lemon-pepper grilled rainbow trout on the menu that will fit right in with your diet. Ask for country green beans, fresh steamed broccoli or turnip greens on the side.

If it's steak you want, well, you'll find about a dozen different varieties at this beef-centric chain — ribeye, sirloin, Kansas City Strip. But to get the best of both land and sea, order the Renegade Sirloin with Redrock Grilled Shrimp combo smothered in garlic butter (leave off the rice, of course).

Bread is a staple at the Cheesecake Factory, so finding a bunch of low-carb options here is going to be tough — start your search in the menu's Skinnylicious section (their word, not ours), where you'll find two contenders. The Grilled Salmon entrée can be tweaked to your liking, but the Tuscan Chicken may be a smart choice; removing its bed of rice can help you save even more carbs in the long run.

Skinnylicious Tuscan Chicken: 590 calories, 21g fat (3.5g saturated fats), 1,020g sodium, 19g total carbohydrates, 5g fiber, 5g sugar, 81g protein.

Think of Chili's as your new favorite steakhouse, as its steak offerings — and fresh veg sides! — can sustain a keto dieter who finds themselves at this chain. A ribeye or a sirloin can be served up with a hearty side of grilled shrimp and still remain nearly carb-less, depending on the side of your choice.

You wouldn't think a restaurant with Noodles right in the name would have anything on the menu without a gazillion carbs, but thankfully this popular chain has added zucchini noodles to its tasty offerings! You can go straight to their nutrition calculator, which will advise exactly how to order a keto-friendly meal. Choices include zucchini noodles with basil pesto cream sauce or a spicy tomato cream sauce, topped with grilled chicken, mushrooms and tomatoes, or several different salad bowls.

The abundance of rice, noodles and sugary sauces can make the P.F. Chang's menu tricky to navigate if you're on a keto diet, but luckily there is one tasty option you can customize to make it work: Order the Asian Caesar Salad topped with salmon—but most importantly, skip the croutons to drop most of the carbs.

You may feel hopeless arriving at a sandwich and soup-combo shop that doesn't have low-carb options for most. Because most of the offerings at Pret are simply grab-and-go, you'll likely do best with a salad — or, sadly, eating the fillings of your favorite sandwich without the bread itself. A classic Chicken Caesar salad is available here, and if you toss the croutons, you should be good to go.

Moe's is another favorite southwest-style joint where you can control your carbs by hand-picking every ingredient in your bowl. Start with either pork carnitas (131 cals, 8 g fat, 1 g carbs), white meat chicken (130 cals, 4 g fat, 0 carbs), or steak (104 cals, 5 g fat, 3 g carbs), then add on whatever veggies you like, plus cheese and guacamole, over a bed of greens.
