Keto at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse: Every Safe Order, With the Carbs Counted

85 diabetic-friendly picks • net carbs as modified • the orange lines are exactly what to say when you order.
BJ's can work for keto if you focus on steaks, prime rib, salmon, tri-tip, wings with low-carb sauces, bunless burgers, and modified entrée salads. Avoid the pizzas, pastas, piadinas, desserts, sweet drinks, fried/breaded items, and standalone starches; for entrées, replace fries/rice/potatoes/bread with salad or non-starchy vegetables.
