Keto at The Cheesecake Factory: Every Safe Order, With the Carbs Counted

98 diabetic-friendly picks • net carbs as modified • the orange lines are exactly what to say when you order.
The Cheesecake Factory has many keto-friendly proteins if you aggressively remove buns, rice, pasta, potatoes, tortillas, fries, corn, beans, sweet glazes and crunchy toppings. Best bets are steaks, grilled salmon/branzino, bunless burgers, omelettes, Cobb-style salads and non-starchy sides like asparagus, broccoli, green beans and sautéed spinach. Avoid the pastas, flatbreads, fried/breaded items, cheesecakes/desserts and sweet drinks.
