Restaurant Reviews

For the low-carb dieter, Marie Callender’s restaurant does exactly one thing right. And they do it so well that it’s nearly enough to recommend it, but not quite. For those on a low-carb diet, Marie Callender’s won’t be your first choice, but if you do a little on-line recon first, and carefully plan your meal, you won’t go hungry.

Olive Garden specializes in modern Italian food, which means pasta and bread and all sorts of foods loaded with carbs. Let Ed Stockly guide you through the murky nutritional information at Olive Garden Restaurant.

Slater's 50/50 Restaurant: The first thing you notice as the food arrives is a steak knife stabbed through the heart of each meal, standing upright and proud. As if it were a message from the chef: “Here’s your damn burger, enjoy.” What a statement! And the only way to back up a statement like is with a great meal.

When Ed Stockly went to HomeTown Buffet he felt like a victim returning to the scene of a crime. So what’s the bottom line for HomeTown Buffet? Ed reviews the restaurant and its viability for Low Carbers.

A Brazilian Churrascaria is an all-you-can-eat steakhouse, commonly referred to as a Brazilian Steakhouse. Just let that sink in a moment. Steak, all you can eat. And they don't just serve steaks. In addition to bacon-wrapped filet mignon; marinated skirt steak, tri-tip; top sirloin; garlic beef; rib eye; and smoked short ribs, the selection also includes Polish sausage; BBQ chicken thighs; marinated pork loin; and marinated lamb. All you can eat.

After 2 years on the Atkins diet, you'd think I'd learn not to be disappointed when a restaurant doesn't meet my expectations of a good selection of food for the low-carb high-fat dieter.

Tony Roma's - Sweet. Too Sweet For a Low Carb Lifestyle by Ed Stockly. Tony my never go to Tony Roma's again and he thinks that's a shame. It's not that they don't do a good job making some food a low carb dieter can enjoy, it's just that they can do so much better.

Ed Stockly reviews Slater's 50/50 Burgers By Design restaurant for CarbSmart Magazine, May Issue 2013.

The Counter Custom Built Gourmet Burgers is not a low carb restaurant, but it is a restaurant where low carb dieters can have a delicious, healthy, low carb / high fat meal. With locations in nine states and three countries, we have a great option to make us not feel like a second-class citizen.

My low carb lunch at Chipotle was by far the most satisfying fast food experience I have ever had, with food that was both wonderfully tasty and nutritionally superior. I may have missed Chipotle Mexican Grill up until now, but you can bet I'll be going back again.
