Overall things to keep in mind when eating out:

Choose a protein that’s not fried — such as steak, broiled fish, grilled chicken, or a bunless burger — with a side of non-starchy veggies, like a side salad or broccoli.
Alternatively, choose an entrée salad with no croutons, a low sugar dressing like ranch or Italian, and a protein that’s not fried.
Yellow onions are the best to use for Keto; avoid onions in restaurants because they probably use white onions (Onions on Keto)
Raw tomatoes are keto; processed are not (Tomatoes on Keto)
avoid artificial sweeteners like sucralose and aspartame; look for stevia for a sweetener

Options for drinks that aren't water (found at Whole Foods/Amazon)
