Keto at Steak n' Shake: Every Safe Order, With the Carbs Counted

60 diabetic-friendly picks • net carbs as modified • the orange lines are exactly what to say when you order.
Steak n' Shake can work for keto mainly by ordering steakburgers bunless, in a bowl or lettuce-wrapped, and skipping ketchup, fries, cookies, and sugary drinks. Best choices are bunless double/triple steakburgers, eggs with bacon or sausage and no toast/hash browns, water, Diet Coke/Coke Zero, and low-carb sauces like buffalo, ranch, or cheese sauce. Avoid milkshakes, fries, onion rings, chicken fingers, grilled cheese, pancakes, sweet tea, lemonade, and regular soda.
