Denny's can work for keto if you build meals around eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, steak, bunless burgers, and salads with low-carb dressing. The main strategy is to remove toast, pancakes, hash browns, fries, buns, tortillas, fruit, sweet sauces, and croutons. Avoid breaded/fried items, pasta, fries/hash browns, desserts, smoothies, juice, lemonade, and milkshakes.
