Keto at Dave And Busters ™

We are continuing our series about exactly what to eat and where to eat when you are out.

Dave and Busters is a big favorite for a big night out with friends or a date.

And don’t worry, you can easily stay keto while you have fun with the gang.

Dave And Busters ™

“Back in the late 1970s, Buster opened a restaurant known for its tasty food and friendly service. A few doors down, Dave opened an outrageous place for entertainment and games where adults were irresistibly drawn for fun. The two young entrepreneurs noticed people rotating between their establishments, and an idea started to form:

Why not put both places under one roof. A coin flip determined which name went first in the company name.” (From https://www.daveandbusters.com/history (Dave and Buster’s website)).

The fare at Dave And Busters™ is not going to be gourmet, but it’s definitely a step up from other arcades or bowling alleys….chips, fries, and hot dogs or burgers.

They’ve actually got a menu and it’s not to shabby.

Be sure to tell the waiter that any dish you order be made without seasoning blends, sauces or marinades. That’s where the sugar hides.

Use only salt, pepper, oil, or garlic for seasoning.

Our number 1 recommendation:

Grilled salmon over zoodles. Make sure it’s only seasoned with salt, pepper and garlic. Add a side salad with romaine lettuce, tomato, onion, parmesan cheese.

Then use olive oil and vinegar as your dressing.

Keto at Cracker Barrel

Yeah, I know. I also thought Cracker Barrel was all breaded, fried, southern comfort food.

Well, I was wrong.

The first thing you see when you go there is that they go to great lengths to make it into a fun country store.

The decorations are actual,real, and sometimes expensive, advertisement signs and other Americana. They are all real, which takes lots of time and dedication to finding them all.

You get a little history lesson along with your great meal. And the meal can be pretty darned great.

Cracker Barrel started in 1969 by Dan Evins. He was a sales rep for the Shell Oil company. The idea was originally to have a restaurant and gift store by the gas station to improve gasoline sales.

But the idea became so popular that it became it’s own restaurant chain.

Their food is designed for flavor. Eating keto at Cracker Barrel is not only easy, it’s tasty. They have a great Keto menu.

Best Recommendation for a Keto meal.

Secret! Well, not actually secret. It’s not on the menu anymore, but it’s still in the computer.

You have to tell the waiter it’ in there. If they can’t find it, ask for a senior staffer, or the manager. You get to play secret agent! You know something many of the waiters may not know.

The dish?

Low carb roast beef with grilled mushrooms and onions, boiled cabbage and broccoli on the side.

Meats that are Keto at Cracker Barrel

Lemon pepper grilled

rainbow trout (no seasoning)

Hamburger patty

Keto at California Pizza Kitchen

California Pizza Kitchens are not everywhere, like Burger King. But where they are, the people are lucky.

It’s a higher end lunch place, if you need a nice place to meet friends or business associates.

It’s also a nice place to go for dinner and feel like you are in a fine restaurant, without the super high bill at the end.

Unfortunately, like with most all pizza places, there aren’t any actual pizzas that fit our needs for keto.

They have a Cauliflower pizza crust, but it contains wheat and has 50 carbs PER SERVING! So ixnay on the cauliflower pizza.

But, if you find yourself in a group going out for pizza, at least they do have plenty of non pizza keto approved items on the menu.

To stay keto at California Pizza Kitchen, you do have to ask them not to use any house seasoning blend or sauce. Tell them to only use salt, pepper, garlic, or olive oil. Generally you want to stay with veggies, proteins, and zucchini noodles.

Our top pick for best keto choice:

Roasted garlic chicken and seasonal vegetables.

Meats:

Grilled Shrimp

Fire Grilled Ribeye

Grilled Chicken

Pepperoni

Roasted garlic chicken and seasonal vegetables (leave out the potatoes)

Keto Restaurant Fast Food

Today we are continuing our series and what you can eat, and where you can eat, fast food style.

It’s not hard to find plain keto burger patties and such. But, did you know that some choices that sound harmless may have hidden sugars? Even broiled chicken sometimes.

So I have done the research for you. You can eat with peace of mind if you stick to these suggestions.

1. Arby’s

Arby’s is everywhere, and their slogan “We have the meat!” sounds like a great start.

BUT, all the meat choices on their menu have grain or sugar, EXCEPT for the Roast Beef.

Their sauces are also pretty sugar loaded.

Oh Arby’s, you could have been so great.

Still, they do have options. And the Roast Beef is a nice change from the burger patty world out there.

Best Keto Meal Choice:

Layered roast beef over a bed of lettuce. On to this add onion mix, grilled pepper, and top it with swiss cheese.

Single items that are Keto Kosher:

Meat: Roast Beef

Cheese: American, Cheddar, Provolone, Swiss, and Smoked Gouda.

Veggies: Onion, Lettuce, Tomato, Sauerkraut, Red and Yellow peppers, and a pepper and onion mix.

Sauce: Only Yellow Mustard. All other sauces have sugar.

Drink: Unsweet Tea or Water.

Today’s second star of keto restaurant fast food:

Baja Fresh Mexican Grill

The chicken and beef are premarinated in a sugar marinade. But, the Fish and Shrimp can be ordered un-marinated.

You MUST specify un-marinated when you order.

Their ingredients are fresh produce, and meats that are never frozen and they don’t use microwaves.

Best Keto Option: Grilled shrimp salad with un marinated shrimp, pico de gallo, jack cheese, avocado and fresh squeezed lime. Hold the tortilla strips and dressing.

Single Keto Items.

Meat: Grilled Fish or Shrimp

Cheese: Jack or Cotija

Drink: Water

Veggies: Avocado, Bell Pepper, Lettuce, Onion, Tomato, Pico de Gallo, Guacamole, Kale, Lime Wedges, Jicama.

Keto restaurant fast food is all around. Enjoy and Keto on!

Keto On The Go Lunch

More help for when you are out on the go and need to keep your keto diet intact.

The first restaurant today is 5 Guys

The name 5 guys came from the fact that there are 5 brothers named Murrell. They were given a choice by their parents to either go to college or start their own business.

They started their first restaurant in Arlington Virginia. There are now more than 1500 locations. They use only fresh ground beef, and fresh, never frozen produce. They do use peanut oil, in case that’s an issue for you.
