Bleu Cheese or Blue Cheese?
Both are correct. The French invented Bleu Cheese Salad Dressing so all the fancy places spell it Bleu. Bleu is just the French way to spell the color Blue.

- BJ's Brewhouse Restuarant Options...

My family and I are going out to eat to celebrate Mother's day. I know they have a tomato basil salad, but other than that what would be acceptable to eat?
- deleted Bunless burger, seared ahi salad without crispy wontons, chicken club without bread, Caesar salad without croutons, any of the steaks, pork chops without apples and potatoes, atlantic salmon
- lecirca bunless burgers are great, they have steaks, the pork chops are really great. I love their pizza - I order a small and eat the toppings :)
- sorako18 My hubby works there and he nabs me traditional wings (no sauce). They're super tasty and keto friendly.
- deleted I get the cobb salad once in a while. Or a burger minus the bun.
- First time going to BJ's since starting keto and I don't have to change a thing about my favorite meal.

New York steak with the mozzarella/tomato salad and cheddar broccoli soup as sides.
- miss-money-penny Not to rain on your parade, but I got really excited and looked up the soup, looks like 20g carb if you get the big bowl, 10g if you get the little one. :( it sounds super delicious though.
- msxenobia The mozz/tomato salad has 9g net carbs also.
- Wrenja oh man the mozz/tomato salad is my favorite thing on that menu.
- What are your favorite keto meals from chain restaurants?
[https://www.reddit.com/r/keto/comments/4kaibs/what_are_your_favorite_keto_meals_from_chain/]
- motor_trike BJ's Brewhouse!!! Most keto friendly chain eatery I have ever stepped into. roasted brussel sprouts,roasted asparagus,steamed broccoli. Protein variety abounds and the waitstaff is all about accommodating you with whatever you need to adjust to stay on the keto train. It is my new favorite place to go when eating out!!
- Keto in the wild. (Ca Bay Area)

I haven't seen anyone post about this, but I may have missed it. BJ's Brewhouse is now catering to the low-carb crowd. They'll "upgrade" any pasta dish to zucchini noodles (extra $2), and they have several low-carb dishes they've created specifically. Just discovered this past weekend. I tried the blackened chicken zoodles and it was really tasty. Nice to have restaurants getting on board.
- TypicalEarthCreature I hate to burst your bubble, but those new dishes aren't keto unless that is your meal for the day. The dish you mentioned is 27 net carbs. MUCH better than a traditional pasta dish, for sure, but restaurants and food manufacturers often miss the mark when trying to cater to certain diets.
- Cricketspaws We have BJ's Brewhouse near us and I was excited to see the zoodles. I was concerned they'd still have to many net carbs though, because they don't actually list the complete nutrition. I had their bacon cheeseburger on lettuce, with a side of their grilled asparagus, and I'm here to say that was the absolute best asparagus I've ever eaten in my life. The burger was pretty fabulous too, but man, let me tell you about that asparagus! I know the zoodle dishes are new, but I'll be excited when they finally put out their complete nutrition content.
- thejemmeh I've calculated the net carbs based on the nutrition guide:
I would maybe order the Lemon Herb Chicken & Asparagus Zucchini Noodles for a rare treat. Optionally remove tomatoes and onions to bring the carbs down. It's only got 36g of fat so you'll need to get that from somewhere else (like a fat bomb) or you'll be hungry. That said they have steak and veggies there.
- Lemon Herb Chicken & Asparagus Zucchini Noodles: (Total Carbs: 27 , Fiber: 8) = Net Carbs 19
- Blackened Chicken Zucchini Noodles: (Total Carbs: 32, Fiber: 5) = Net Carbs 27
- Jumbo Spaghetti and Meatballs with Zucchini Noodles (Total Carbs: 56 , Fiber: 8 ) = Net Carbs 28
- Grilled Chicken Alfredo with Zucchini Noodles (Total Carbs: 35 , Fiber: 5) = Net Carbs 30
- Italiano Vegetable Penne with Zucchini Noodles (Total Carbs: 38, Fiber: 7 ) = Net Carbs 31
- Shrimp Scampi Pasta with Zucchini Noodles (Total Carbs: 40 , Fiber: 6 ) = Net Carbs 34
- BJ's Oasis Amber low carb craft beer 4.7abv 3.8 carbs
[https://www.reddit.com/r/ketodrunk/comments/mx8wki/bjs_oasis_amber_low_carb_craft_beer_47abv_38_carbs/]
If you happen to live near a BJ's Brewhouse chain check out their Oasis Amber if you want something besides Mich Ultra/etc. Tastes just like a Fat Tire / generic amber lager, which is awesome compared to most light beers.
NOTE: You used to be able to upgrade any pasta dish to Zuchini Noodles instead of Pasta.
They stopped offering Zoodles in around 2022
