In -n- out if any of you have one near you have FANTASTIC protein burgers. They are delish!

My favorite is Cracker Barrell. In my part of the world they have one every few highway exits. The menu has a whole section for "Low Carb" with the counts for the main dish, and then counts for each of the sides too so that you can put together a good meal and know how many carbs you are getting. My favorite is their rib eye steak w/ bleu cheese crumbles on top. They also offer breakfast any time of the day too.

I've found that this is the best place to get dinner out for my family - there is so much variety & they are kid friendly.

Re: Best restaurants for Atkins

For low-carbers who dine out several times per week as I do, this bit of information should be very encouraging ...

In the past 6 years, I have found that the restaurants that don't accommodate a low-carber are extraordinarily rare. Since 2001 and in my travels throughout the U.S. and abroad, I have only come across one restaurant that refused to substitute this for that - the owner actually came to the table to confirm this, and stated it was because "the vegetables are very expensive." Of course, I did not stay to dine. This was in Plano, Texas.

Outback is my #1 choice. Love their 9 oz special, sans seasonings, med rare, salad with ranch (no croutons), broccoli with extra ranch for dipping.

Re: Best restaurants for Atkins

I'm finding that most resturants will accommodate my Atkins requests too. I usually just grab mixed grill, steak, chicken or chops - tell them they can hold the fries, onion rings etc ... but I would just like a big tossed green salad with it (no dressing - oil and vinegar on the side). And they don't seem to mind one bit really. They might look a bit taken aback that I don't want fries - because this is England and fries (or chips as we call 'em) are a bit of a national institution.

Hello, GaynorA! I noticed that you are in southwest England; I just watched Ladies in Lavender last night & loved it. (When I tried to send this via PM, it for whatever reason would not go through.)
