Eating keto out in Houston can mean steak, smoked brisket, a salad or a Thai lettuce wrap. The useful question is what comes on the plate, including the sides and sauce. A grilled protein doesn’t do much for your plan if it arrives buried under a sweet glaze.
Order anywhere: Start with protein plus non-starchy vegetables, keep sauces on the side, and ask about breading, sugar and starchy accompaniments.
This list was checked in October 2026. Menus change, so check the linked menu before you go. These 36 open businesses include restaurants, prepared-meal shops and one bakery; most aren’t dedicated keto kitchens. I prefer an order with a short list of changes. Dinner shouldn’t need a project manager.
Steakhouses, seafood and grills
Start here when you want a meat or seafood main. Read the full description before ordering: the protein and its default accompaniments are separate decisions.
Ruggles Black
At 2245 W Alabama St, Ruggles Black has a dedicated keto section on its food menu. That makes it a useful starting point when you’d rather choose a labeled dish than negotiate a long substitution list.
Keto Mediterranean Chicken, Keto Shrimp Zoodles and Keto Wings are listed options. The Keto Carbonara Pasta specifically uses Zero Carb Miracle Noodles. That’s the menu’s ingredient description, not a carb count for the whole dish. Ask about the complete preparation if you’re tracking closely.
Christie’s Seafood & Steak
Christie’s at 6029 Westheimer Rd offers seafood and steaks, with both cold boiled wild-caught Texas shrimp and ribeye tagged keto on its menu. Those labels give you a clearer starting point than guessing from a dish name.
Wild Caught Texas Grilled Shrimp and the Chopped Romaine Salad are other listed choices to consider. The salad includes bacon, bleu cheese and tomatoes. Ask about dressing and the accompaniments to a steak or seafood order rather than assuming the entire plate fits.
Saldivia’s South American Grill
Saldivia’s at 10850 Westheimer Rd lists Entrana skirt steak, Vacio flank steak, Asado boneless short rib steak and Picanha on its menu. Pick the cut you want, then ask what comes with it.
Grilled Salmon is another option, but its listed plate includes grilled vegetables and roasted potatoes. Leave the potatoes off and ask whether more of the listed vegetables can take their place. Don’t assume a substitution is automatic, or that an unlisted sauce comes with the fish.
Taste Of Texas
Taste Of Texas at 10505 Katy Fwy has a menu built around steak choices including Center Cut Filet, New York Strip Sirloin, T-Bone and Slow Roasted Prime Rib. The Cowboy is its listed bone-in ribeye option.
For a salad-based meal, look at the Grilled Tenderloin Salad or Grilled Salmon Salad and check dressing and toppings. Keep your order focused on the steak or salad you selected, with any starchy accompaniments left off. There’s no need to build dinner around an unlisted keto dessert.
Elliot’s Table
Elliot’s Table at 465 T C Jester Blvd, Ste B mixes grill choices with comfort food. Its menu lists Lamb Chops, Chimichurri Steak, a baseball-cut New York Strip and a smoked and seared bone-in Pork Chop.
Choose a main, then check its sides and sauce. The Wedge and Cucumber & Tomato Salad are listed alternatives to consider alongside it. The presence of grilled meat doesn’t make the fried or starchy parts of this menu keto, so order by the description rather than the restaurant’s overall style.
Sixty Vines
In Rice Village at 2540 University Blvd, Sixty Vines lists Filet Mignon with charred broccolini, Pork Chop, Atlantic Salmon and Rainbow Trout on its dinner menu. Filet with the listed broccolini is a practical place to begin.
Read the accompaniments on the other mains and ask about sauces before choosing. Several dishes carry a gluten-free label, but that label doesn’t tell you their carb content. Keep the decision tied to the actual ingredients, not the letters beside the dish.
Texas de Brazil
Texas de Brazil at 822 Town & Country Blvd, Ste 100 offers a Brazilian steakhouse menu with Picanha, Garlic Picanha, Filet Mignon, Flank Steak, Leg of Lamb and Chicken Breast Wrapped in Bacon.
Use the listed meats as your starting point and choose salad-area items by their ingredients. Ask about any sweet marinade or glaze before adding a meat to your plate. You can keep the meal centered on the cuts you want without treating every item in the salad area as equally suitable.
Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille
Perry’s Memorial City location is at 9827 Katy Fwy, with another listed Houston location at 9730 Cypresswood Dr in Champions. The Memorial City menu includes Filet Perry, a bacon-wrapped filet with steamed asparagus.
Filet Mignon Lettuce Wraps and Filet Mignon Carpaccio are also listed. If you want Perry’s Famous Pork Chop, ask to leave off the potatoes and applesauce and discuss a suitable replacement. The lettuce wraps are an actual menu item here, so you don’t need to invent a lettuce-bun workaround.
Southern and neighborhood restaurants
These restaurants give you choices beyond a steakhouse meal. Focus on the listed grilled or seared mains and inspect the rest of the plate before calling the order low carb.
Grace’s
Grace’s at 3111 Kirby Dr serves a broader menu that includes Grilled Chicken Breast, Filet and Grilled Lamb Chops. Those are the most straightforward starting points among the items identified in its menu.
The Cobb Salad is another listed option; ask about its dressing and toppings. Keep the ordering request specific to the dish you choose. The fried chicken isn’t advertised as an almond-flour version, so don’t order it expecting a keto coating. A familiar comfort-food name still needs its ingredient check.
Lucille’s
Lucille’s at 5512 La Branch St is a Southern restaurant, with a dinner menu that includes Surf & Turf: ribeye, blackened shrimp and asparagus, plus smoked mash. Ask to omit the mash before ordering.
Charred Broccolini and Braised Collard Greens are listed sides to ask about as replacements. Seared Scallops are also on the menu. Treat those as specific possibilities within a Southern menu, rather than expecting the whole kitchen to cater to keto. Confirm sauces and the preparation of your chosen sides.
Adair Kitchen
Adair Kitchen lists locations at 5161 San Felipe St, Ste 390, and 5176 Buffalo Speedway. Its menus offer Grilled Pesto Salmon with grilled asparagus and cilantro rice. Ask to leave off the rice, keeping the salmon and asparagus as the focus.
Roasted Half Chicken and Grilled Pork Chop are other listed mains to investigate. Ribeye Frites needs the fries omitted, while the Baja Caesar includes cornbread croutons to leave off. Pick from the menu for your meal rather than assuming a dish appears at every service.
Dish Society
Dish Society’s Heights location is at 1050 Yale St, Ste 100. Its lunch and supper menu lists a Farmers Plate with a choice of chicken breast, gulf shrimp or citrus salmon, plus two sides.
Start by asking about the chicken or shrimp preparation and which listed sides avoid starches and sweet additions. The Cobb Salad is another possible route. Citrus Glazed Salmon needs a glaze check, and the Quinoa Stuffed Avocado shouldn’t be treated as keto just because avocado is in the name.
True Food Kitchen
True Food Kitchen at 1700 Post Oak Blvd lists Norwegian Salmon with Miso Beurre Blanc and a Grass-Fed Burger on its menu. For the burger, ask for no bun; the listed toppings include wild mushrooms and caramelized onions.
Check the side and any sauce before completing that order. For salmon, review the full plate rather than relying on its gluten-free label. The restaurant’s grain-based bowls require a different assessment and shouldn’t be your default keto choice simply because they’re presented as healthy meals.
The Grove
The Grove at 1611 Lamar St has a dinner menu and separate cheese-and-meat offerings on its official site. Its dinner menu is published as an image, so this guide doesn’t recommend a named entree from it.
Use those menu categories to ask about an unbreaded protein or a meat-and-cheese selection, leaving bread and sweet accompaniments off if available. Confirm the actual ingredients and any changes with the restaurant before committing. This is a place to check your intended order, rather than arrive expecting a dedicated keto menu.
Max’s Wine Dive
Max’s Wine Dive at 4720 Washington Ave is a restaurant with a Southern and comfort-food menu. Review the regular menu through its Houston page before choosing it for a keto meal. There isn’t a confirmed low-carb dish to recommend here.
Ask whether a protein can be prepared without breading, with sauce separate and a non-starchy accompaniment. Those are questions, not promised modifications. If the available plates rely on pasta, fried coatings or sweet finishes that can’t be omitted, choose another spot from this list for your keto meal.
Mexican, Mediterranean and charcoal chicken
The useful starting points here are listed grilled proteins, kabobs and salad-style orders. Keep tortillas, rice and other starchy extras separate from the decision about the meat.
Ambriza Social Mexican Kitchen
Ambriza’s Vintage Park location is at 10115 Louetta Rd, Ste 400. Its location menu lists Fajita Chicken, Fajita Beef, Fajita Shrimp, Parrillada Mexicana and Tampiquena Steak.
Choose a listed protein, then ask to omit tortillas and any rice or beans included with the order. Check sauces and marinades as well. Don’t plan around low-carb wraps or lettuce-cup tacos: those aren’t established menu options. The grilled meat is the starting point, with the final plate depending on what the kitchen can leave off.
Bullritos
Bullritos has a Houston Center location at 1200 McKinney St, Ste 323. Its menu explicitly offers a bowl with a No Tortilla or Salad Style option, including grilled chicken or steak choices.
Use that listed format and leave rice and beans off your order. Chicken or steak fajitas with grated cheese, peppers and onions are also listed. Don’t expect a cauliflower-rice base. Salad Style is the verified ordering option here, and it gives you a clearer plan than hoping for an unlisted tortilla replacement.
Fadi’s Meyerland Mediterranean Grill
At 4738 Beechnut St, Fadi’s Meyerland Mediterranean Grill lists Chicken Shawarma Salad, Gyro Salad and kabobs on its menu. Kabob choices include chicken, beef kafta, lamb, salmon and shrimp.
Start with a kabob or one of the listed salads, then ask about bread, rice, dressing and marinades before ordering. Choose accompaniments individually. A Mediterranean menu can contain plenty of starch alongside grilled proteins, so a whole platter needs more scrutiny than the word “kabob” alone. Keep the final request simple and specific.
Las Brasas Charcoal Chicken
Las Brasas has a researched Houston address at 2712 Eldridge Pkwy, Ste 102. The readable menu is for the Sugar Land branch, so confirm those options at Eldridge before making plans around them.
That menu lists Whole Chicken Only, charcoal grilled, and a Steamed Vegetable Medley side. Ask whether you can order the chicken and vegetables without rice or fries, and check the sauces. This is a charcoal-chicken ordering route, with branch availability to confirm, rather than a promise of a special keto plate.
Cafes, salads, breakfast and take-home food
These options cover salads, egg dishes and food to take home. The two pizza restaurants belong here because their salads provide the useful ordering route for this guide.
Flower Child
Flower Child at 1101 Uptown Park Blvd, #C-6, also lists a Heights location at 1533 N Shepherd Dr. Its Houston menu offers a protein plus two sides, with chicken, steak, salmon and shrimp among the choices.
Ask which sides fit your order after reviewing their ingredients. Turkey & Avocado Cobb and Avocado Caesar are listed salads; leave the bread crumbs off the Caesar. Don’t assume vegetable-based sides are automatically low carb, or that a salad’s dressing needs no checking.
Muscle Maker Grill
Muscle Maker Grill at 6415 San Felipe St, Ste B lists Italiano, Turkey Taco, Muscle Maker Caesar and Mardi Gras Grilled Chicken salads on its menu. The Caesar’s dressing is described as zero carb by the menu.
That description applies to the dressing, not the whole salad. Review toppings and ask to omit any starchy extras before choosing. Use the named salads as starting points rather than treating the restaurant’s fitness branding as a carb guarantee for everything it serves.
Salata
Salata lists a Houston location at 10898 Westheimer Rd, among other area shops. Its menu includes build-your-own salads with greens bases, plus Cobb, Greek, Caesar and Jalapeno Avocado salads.
Building your own lets you choose each component instead of accepting a preset combination. Start with greens, review the toppings, and ask for dressing separately. For a named salad, check the full ingredient list and leave off any bread or crunchy starches. Use the dressing choices actually listed on the menu when planning your order.
Sweetgreen
Sweetgreen’s researched locations include 600 N Shepherd Dr, Ste 149, in the Heights, and 820 Main St downtown. Its menu lists Kale Caesar, Guacamole Greens and Super Green Goddess among the salad options.
Read the full ingredient list and omit any starchy crunch or sweet additions that don’t fit your plan. Don’t assume Caesar breadcrumbs use almond flour. The Harvest Bowl contains wild rice and sweet potatoes, so a salad-based order is the more useful starting point for this guide than that grain bowl.
Bellagreen
Bellagreen has locations at 801 Town & Country Blvd in City Centre and 748 E 11th St in the Heights. Its menus list Simple Salmon, Atlantic Salmon Salad, Blackened Shrimp Salad and lettuce wraps.
Check the salmon’s accompaniments and each salad’s dressing and toppings. Turkey Lettuce Wraps are listed with a Galleria availability exception, so choose the correct location menu. Lettuce outside a filling doesn’t settle what’s inside it; ask about sweet sauces and starches before treating the wraps as a keto order.
Luna Pizzeria
Luna Pizzeria at 3435 Kirby Dr, with another location at 107 Yale St, lists Cobb, Chopped, Arugula & Fennel and Luna Caesar salads on its menu. The Cobb includes chicken, bacon, egg and avocado.
Choose the Cobb after checking the dressing, or ask to hold the croutons on the Caesar. Luna doesn’t list a cauliflower pizza crust, so plan around the salads instead of arriving for a keto pizza. Stick with the salad order rather than expecting a separate keto dessert menu.
MOD Pizza
MOD Pizza at 5777 San Felipe St has a menu with build-your-own salads, The MOD Salad, Italian Chop, Caesar, Garden and Mediterranean salads. Those are the useful starting points for an order here.
MOD offers cauliflower crust as an extra-charge option, but that doesn’t establish it as low carb. The menu doesn’t establish a net-carb figure that makes it a keto crust. Build a salad, inspect the dressing and toppings, and leave off bread-based extras rather than using the crust’s vegetable name as your carb calculation.
Snooze, an A.M. Eatery
Snooze has Houston locations including 600 W Sam Houston Pkwy N, Ste 500. Its menu lists Protein Trio, Denver and Garden Harvest omelets, giving you egg-based choices to consider for breakfast.
Ask to leave hash browns and toast off the Denver order and check the accompaniments on the other omelets. OMG! Bacon is also listed, but ask about its preparation before adding it. Keep the order tied to those actual options rather than planning a Benedict around an unlisted jicama substitution.
Snap Kitchen
Snap Kitchen at 3600 Kirby Dr, Ste A offers prepared meals, with a menu listing Steak & Eggs, Spinach & Goat Cheese Egg Bites and Bacon & Cheddar Egg Bites. Roasted Salmon and Grilled Chicken Breast are other listed choices.
Use the meal’s label to check the complete serving before buying. The site has Keto and Low Carb filters, but don’t treat those categories as interchangeable. Choose according to the specific meal’s ingredients and nutrition, including any sides, rather than its protein name alone.
ChipMonk Baking
ChipMonk Baking lists 3042 Antoine Dr and primarily operates as an online and shipping bakery. Treat this entry as a take-home option, not a sit-down restaurant recommendation. Its catalog includes Keto Cookies, Keto Bites and Cinnamon Snickerdoodle Keto Cookies.
Choose a specific product and read its label for ingredients, serving size and nutrition. Don’t carry a carb figure from a different product into your order. If you’re planning to collect something locally, confirm the pickup arrangements before heading to the address.
Asian restaurants and poke
Choose the protein or salad format first, then check sauces and marinades. A lettuce wrap, grilled meat or bowl still needs that second step.
Songkran Thai Kitchen
Songkran Thai Kitchen at 1101 Uptown Park Blvd, Ste 8 lists Grilled Steak Salad, also called Yum Neua, Chicken Lettuce Wrap, or Larb Gai, and Grilled Half Chicken on its food menu.
Start with one of those dishes and ask about sweet seasoning, dressing and any rice accompaniment. Grilled Salmon is listed with a three-flavor sauce, so don’t assume the sauce fits without asking. Order from the actual menu rather than requesting a pastry-free version of an item that isn’t listed.
Gen Korean BBQ House
Gen Korean BBQ House at 3201 Louisiana St, Ste 101 lists Premium Ribeye, Gen Premium Steak, thinly sliced Premium Angus Brisket, shrimp and Calamari Steak on its menu.
Ask which choices come without sweet marinades, then keep dipping sauces separate. The menu also includes marinated meats, so grilled doesn’t automatically mean an uncomplicated keto order. Focus on the preparation of the cuts you select and ask about their accompaniments. There’s no need to build the meal around unverified side dishes.
Poke In The Bowl
Poke In The Bowl lists locations at 6611 Main St and 515 Westheimer Rd, Ste D. Its official menu site offers build-your-own poke salads with a choice of protein and toppings.
Choose the salad format, then check each topping and sauce before adding it. Don’t plan around cauliflower rice or assume the sauces are sugar-free; neither claim was established. The value of a build-your-own order is choosing what goes in it, rather than accepting a signature bowl whose name tells you little about its ingredients.
Barbecue
Keep the order centered on the listed smoked meat. Ask about sweet rubs, glazes and sauce, then decide on sides separately instead of accepting a standard plate by default.
The Pit Room
The Pit Room at 1201 Richmond Ave, with another location at 10301 Katy Fwy, lists brisket, pork ribs, beef ribs, pulled pork, turkey and chicken on its menu.
Green beans are a listed side to ask about. Keep sauce separate and leave bread and starchy sides off the order. If you choose sausage, check the specific variety and ingredients. Green beans give you a concrete side to discuss, without needing to invent a replacement from outside the menu.
Goode Company BBQ
Goode Company BBQ’s Original location is at 5109 Kirby Dr. Its menu lists beef brisket, pork ribs, half chicken and turkey breast. The research also confirms that meats are served with sauce on the side.
Keep that sauce separate and ask to leave off the jalapeno cheese bread included with plates. This menu doesn’t label its dishes keto, and it doesn’t list loaded cauliflower or a lettuce-wrap replacement for bread. Choose the meat you want without depending on an unlisted side or substitution.
Houston Barbecue Company
Houston Barbecue Company at 1127 Eldridge Pkwy, Ste 400 lists brisket in lean, butcher’s cut or moist versions, plus Pork Ribs, Turkey Breast and Whole Chicken on its official menu site.
Start with one of those meats and ask about sauce, rubs and included sides. The restaurant describes its barbecue as smoked over post oak wood. Keep the meal meat-focused if the available accompaniments don’t fit. You don’t need to add a side just because the menu offers one.
Hoot’s Smokehouse
Hoot’s Smokehouse at 7648 Canal St, Ste B lists Slow-Smoked Brisket, Smoked Sausage and Pork Ribs on its official site. Those are the verified smoked-meat choices to start with.
Ask whether your selection has a sweet glaze or sauce and whether sauce can come separately. Check what comes with the order before accepting a plate or combination. If you choose sausage, ask about its ingredients as well. The practical goal is a clear meat order, with any bread and starchy extras left off.
