Keto at Texas Roadhouse
Texas Roadhouse lists its steaks without sides, and the main cuts are very low: the 6 oz USDA Choice Sirloin is 3g of carbs and 1g of fiber, the 12 oz New York Strip is 1g and 1g, and the 12 oz Prime Rib is 3g and 2g. The Ft. Worth Ribeye is higher than you might guess at 12g carbs for 12 oz, so the strip and sirloin are the cleaner picks.
The carbs come from the bread basket, the fried starters, and the potato and rice sides. One serving of the fresh-baked bread is 28g of carbs, and the Cactus Blossom is 236g. Grilled BBQ Chicken is 19g with 15g of sugar, so plain steak beats the chicken here.
