10 Keto Friendly Restaurants You Need to Know


If you’re an avid follower of the Keto diet, then you need to pay attention to whatever you’re eating, even when eating out. But your very-low-carb diet can pose challenges to you when you’re not at home. Unfortunately, it can become almost impossible to control what you eat at restaurants.

The portions in most restaurants are never in your favor, with most restaurants serving more proteins and carbs than vegetables. But you shouldn’t have to panic; there are keto friendly restaurants that cater to people just like you. Whatever reason you’re on a Keto diet, you can be sure of finding a few spots that serve tasty Keto meals.

Here are some of the restaurants that you’re guaranteed to be served your desired Keto meal.

Best Restaurants for Keto Diet Followers

1. Starbucks

From chai tea lattes to low-carb mochas, you have plenty of Keto drink options at Starbucks. The restaurant is known for its coffee drinks, but it also offers over 15 different Keto drinks. Some of these options include a low-carb mocha, iced pineapple black tea, doubleshot on ice, Keto pink drink, iced coffee, and faux frappuccino.

Just be sure to check their menu for these options or inquire about their Keto offerings. Keep in mind that you can also prepare them at home.

2. Blaze Pizza

On July 15, 2019, Braze Pizza became the first national chain to offer a keto-diet-approved pizza crust. The crust only has three grams of carbs per slice. Instead of wheat flour, it uses eggs, flaxseeds, cheese, and other ingredients. Given the popularity of pizza, this was a pretty long-awaited idea.

Braze Pizza also offers a nutrition calculator to let you check the amount per serving of its popular foods.

3. Olive Graden

Do you love eating at Olive Garden? Then, you can also order low-carb meals at this Keto-friendly restaurant. You can choose your meal base, which can be steamed broccoli or garden veggies. Your source options include cheese marinara, creamy pesto, creamy mushroom, and traditional meat sauce.

For toppings, you can pick meatballs, grilled chicken, sausage links, or sauteed shrimp. There are also foods that you can feel confident ordering, such as chicken margherita and macros.

4. Buffalo Wild Wings

For casual dining, Buffalo Wild Wings is a go-to option for most people. If you are Keto follower, then the three impressive Keto orders at Buffalo Wild Wings, include:

  • Traditional wings and hot sauce = 480 calories/1.5 net carbs for six wings
  • Traditional wings and parmesan garlic sauce = 540 calories/2 net carbs for six wings
  • Traditional wings and hot BBQ sauce = 465 calories/ 4 net carbs for six wings

The burger patty or grilled chicken breast is an excellent option. You can wash down your meal with a single light beer, which, together with the wings, will give you about 3 to 5 carbs.

5. P.F. Chang’s

Chinese food is also great for a low-carb diet, and one of the best places to stop at is P.F. Chang’s. Rice, noodles, and egg rolls are the popular Chinese options on a Keto menu, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try soy sauce-laden foods.

In fact, according to the USDA, soy sauce has only about 0.8 grams of carbs per tablespoon. So, when you at P.F. Chang’s, think of eggs, seafood, and vegetables. Some of the options you can order include egg drop soup cup, northern-style spare ribs, shrimp with lobster sauce, and steamed baby Buddha’s feast.

6. Outback Steakhouse

For American food served with an Australian flair, the Outback Steakhouse has several Keto-compatible items on their menu. Whether you love to eat fish, burgers, steak, or lobster tails, this is the place to be. The restaurant has a list of nutritional facts, although you can’t always customize your options.

But there are sides, main course salads, and main courses that are Keto-friendly. Appetizers such as kookaburra wings are also great. Most Keto-friendly options at the Outback have a maximum of 12 net carbs.

7. TGI Fridays

TGI Fridays offers lots of burgers and fries, but there are also options for you as a Keto dieter. For example, they have a section on their menu that’s devoted to “green style” burgers. In addition, they have meals that have 15 grams of carbs or fewer.

A good example is their Frank’s RedHot Buffalo wings, which has 640 calories per serving. You can also try out their bacon cheeseburger, which is a green style. Other options are a cobb salad with grilled chicken, a turkey burger, and bacon-wrapped shrimp with extra veggies.

8. Chili’s

Are you planning to fill your appetite at Chili’s today? Well, there are several great options that are low in carbs.

If you want an appetizer, you can order clam chowder and a house salad with no dressing, Terlingua chili, wings over buffalo, and fresco salad. Sunrise, oldtimer beef, and guacamole beef burgers are great here. Just remember to exclude buns when ordering them.

Grilled steak, grilled chicken, and fajita toppings are on their menu for you. They also have low carb sides, such as seared shrimp, steamed broccoli, and asparagus with roasted tomatoes.

9. Bonefish Grill

If you’re into seafood, Bonefish Grill serves up to eight different varieties of fish a day. They have a gluten-free menu that strives to eliminate unwanted carbs.

For starters and sharing, you can try their wagyu beef, Maryland-style crab cakes, and Ahi Tuna Sashimi (9 carbs). Their Ahi Tuna steak rainbow tout, Chilean sea bass, Caribbean cobia, and Atlantic salmon have zero carbs.

You can also savor great add-ons such as a lobster tail, Pan-Asian sauce, and lemon butter.

The  Cheesecake Factory offers over 250 items in its two-page menu. Besides the usual offerings, the menu has devoted sections called Skinnylicious and Super Foods. These sections are tailored to people who follow a healthy eating plan like a keto diet.
