Eating keto around Detroit gives you steak, barbecue, shawarma and a bakery with actual keto-labeled products. This is a metro-area list: Ferndale, Milford, Hamtramck, Royal Oak and Clinton Township are named where they belong.
I’d choose the order before choosing the extras. A plate of barbecue doesn’t automatically give its sauce a free pass.
This list was checked in October 2026. Menus change, so check the current menu before you go.
For ordering anywhere: choose protein plus vegetables, with sauces on the side.
Ferndale Project in Ferndale
Ferndale Project is a community brewery at 567 Livernois, Ferndale. Its food menu centers on pizza and burgers; it isn’t a dedicated keto menu.
No specific low-carb items were verified. Ask whether a burger can be served without its bun and whether a suitable vegetable side is available. Check sauce and topping ingredients before ordering, rather than assuming a bun-free option is already on the menu.
Grey Ghost Detroit
Grey Ghost Detroit is at 47 E Watson St, Detroit. Its rotating dinner menu includes Ribeye Cap, Dry Aged New York Strip and Filet Mignon.
The filet comes with crispy potato, so ask to omit it and check the beet vinaigrette and borscht jus. The ribeye cap comes with herb hummus, charred chili and zhug; ask about those accompaniments rather than treating a steak order as automatically keto.
The Peterboro in Detroit
The Peterboro serves Chinese-American comfort food at 420 Peterboro St, Detroit.
No specific low-carb dishes were verified. Ask whether the kitchen can prepare a protein with vegetables without breading, noodles or rice, with sauce separately. Check for sweet sauces before committing to an order. A familiar dish name won’t answer that question for you.

Smoke Street BBQ in Milford
Smoke Street BBQ is at 424 N Main St, Milford. Plan for Milford when choosing this barbecue stop.
The menu lists St. Louis Style Ribs, Pulled Pork and Smoked Wings. Ask about sugar in rubs, glazes and sauces, and whether the meat can come without bread or starchy sides. Gluten-free labeling on ribs or pork doesn’t establish a low carb count.
Boostan Cafe in Hamtramck
Use the operating Boostan Cafe at 3468 Holbrook St, Hamtramck. It’s a Middle Eastern cafe with shawarma and kabobs.
Side Chicken Shawarma is the clearest listed starting point for a protein order. Ask what comes with it and keep bread and sauces separate. The menu also lists Shish Tawook & Tabbouli, but check the tabbouli ingredients and portion before treating the whole plate as keto.
KouZina Greek Street Food in Royal Oak
KouZina is a fast-casual Greek street-food restaurant at 121 N Main St, Royal Oak.
Specific low-carb dishes weren’t verified. Ask whether meat can be served as a plate or with salad instead of in pita, and check sauces and side dishes. Confirm those options rather than assuming a particular Greek salad or dip is available.
Keto Katz Bakery in Clinton Township
Keto Katz Bakery is at 36759 Garfield Rd, Clinton Township. It’s a bakery stop, rather than a restaurant meal, with online pickup ordering.
The pickup menu lists Keto Donuts, Keto Cupcakes and Keto Cheesecakes. Start with those verified products and check the current ingredient and portion information before choosing. They’re the bakery’s keto-labeled items, not a reason to assume every baked good fits your carb budget.
