Keto at Chili's
Chili's lists its steaks on their own, without sides, and that makes them the cleanest keto order on the menu: the 6 oz Classic Sirloin is 1g of carbs and the Classic Ribeye is 0g in Chili's own nutrition menu. The carbs sit in the chips, tortillas, rice, fries, and desserts, and a bottomless basket of chips and salsa alone is 113g of carbs.
Fajitas are the surprise. Even with no tortillas, rice, or beans, the grilled chicken fajita skillet is listed at 22g of carbs and 5g of fiber, so 17g net before toppings. For a reliably low meal, order a steak and swap the loaded mashed potatoes for steamed broccoli and asparagus.

How to order keto at Chili's
- Order a Classic Sirloin or Classic Ribeye and say "steamed broccoli and asparagus instead of the mashed potatoes."
- Ask the server not to bring the chips and salsa. The basket is 113g of carbs.
- If you order fajitas, skip the tortillas, rice, and beans, and expect about 17g net from the chicken skillet alone.
- For wings, choose Buffalo. The sweet Honey Chipotle and House BBQ sauces add 50g or more of carbs to an 8 count.
- Use guacamole, ranch (2g carbs for 1.5 oz), or blue cheese dressing (1g) as your sauces.
Net carbs are total carbohydrate minus dietary fiber, rounded to the nearest gram, from Chili's's published nutrition information (checked October 2026). For a modified order, such as no bun, we subtract the published values of the part you leave off. Menus and recipes vary by location and change over time, so check current nutrition with Chili's before you order, especially for sauces, dressings, and seasonal items.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. The steaks are listed without sides: the 6 oz Classic Sirloin is 1g of carbs and the Classic Ribeye is 0g. Add steamed broccoli (4g net) and asparagus (2g net) and the plate stays around 7g net carbs.
Not as low as they look. The grilled chicken fajita skillet is listed at 22g carbs and 5g fiber (17g net) before tortillas, toppings, rice, or beans. The steak skillet is 24g carbs and 3g fiber. A steak with green sides is the lower option.
A Classic Ribeye (0g carbs) or 6 oz Classic Sirloin (1g) with steamed broccoli and asparagus. The sirloin version adds up to 14g carbs and 7g fiber, 7g net.
The bone-in Buffalo wings are. An 8 count is listed at 6g carbs and 1g fiber. Honey Chipotle (60g carbs) and House BBQ (53g) are not, and the boneless wings are breaded (44g carbs for 8 Buffalo boneless).
No. Bottomless Chips & Salsa is listed at 113g carbs and 8g fiber. The salsa by itself is small (7g carbs in the dip trio portion), so if you want it, spoon a little onto your steak.
You can ask, but Chili's nutrition menu does not list the bun separately, so the carb count without it is not published. Most of the beef burgers as listed run 44g to 50g of carbs. A steak is the order with published low numbers.
