Keto Restaurant Guide

Keto at Outback Steakhouse

Outback publishes its steaks separately from the sides, and the numbers are as low as a keto diner could want: the 6 oz Center-Cut Sirloin is 2g of carbs and 2g of fiber, Victoria's Filet 6 oz is 1g, and the 13 oz Ribeye is 3g. Broccoli and asparagus are the two sides under 5g net.

The traps are concentrated. The Bloomin' Onion is 131g of carbs, a serving of Table Bread with Butter is 51g, and Aussie Fries are 67g. One surprise: Grilled Chicken on the Barbie (8 oz) is 26g of carbs with 17g of sugar, so the chicken is not the safe default here. Pick a steak or the grilled salmon.
