Red Lobster in Jefferson City and Columbia

This is one of our favorite places to eat on special occasions since seafood is one of the most Keto friendly foods ever! You can order several things from their “Create Your Own”  menu feature by picking two, three, or as many as you want to pay for. Also, you can just switch menu items around–like substituting grilled shrimp for fried–and they’re very accommodating. They do have vinegar and oil if you ask for it, but we started taking our own in little Tupperware minis because some, but not ALL, Red Lobsters will bring out vegetable oil and white vinegar.

Towne Grill in Jefferson City

One of my favorite Keto meals at a local eatery is the Philly Steak sandwich (WITHOUT the bun), and I ask for extra cheese, at Towne Grill in Jefferson City. Yummm!! You can also get breakfast any time they are open, most of which is Keto friendly. Their sausage and cheese omelette is the bomb! We have ordered their bacon cheeseburger (again, WITHOUT the bun) plus an (optional) fried egg on top, and it was delicious! Ask for grilled chicken on top of one of their salads, with (full fat) dressing on the side, or take your own vinegar and Read More ...
