Friday's Atkins Menu

[IloveDMB]

I don't know if this was posted before, but I went to Friday's for dinner last night and enjoyed their new Atkins menu.

My sister is not on Atkins but loves the Spinach Artichoke Dip, so I ordered that with a side of the tortilla chips for her. There are 17 grams of carbs in the dip but there were three of us sharing it. The dip comes with assorted vegetables on the side for dipping. It was very good, and I didn't even miss the chips.

For my entree, I got the Garlic Chicken (6 or 7 net carbs, I forget). I never really like ordering chicken because I'm so afraid that the chicken will be dry and I hate dry chicken. But this chicken was moist and the garlic sauce was delicious. It came with vegetables, which were a little watery but overall a good entree.

Overall, the meal was very good and I'm pleased to see an Atkins approved menu at a restaurant, as we eat out a lot.

Just wanted to post a little review, I don't know if anyone else has done this yet.

for the review!

I haven't been to Friday's since they did this, but I usually have no problem eating out. I love a good steak and hearty salad! Having more options is great!

Glad to hear the chicken was good!

We went to Friday's on Saturday. I had the garlic chicken too and have to agree that it was very good. My veggies must've been a bit better than yours. They were not over cooked and had just a little bit of snap to them...just the way I like them. DH had the sizzling chicken and said that it was very good too. But that was too many carbs for me....17 I think...12 w/ out the peppers, which is how he had it and he still stayed w/in his range. I thought it might be difficult going out to dinner and seeing the fries and mashed potatoes and stuff, but our dinner was so good that it didn't bother me at all. I hope more places adapt their menus to Atkins soon!

Thanks for the reviews! It is so nice to go out to eat now and so many different restaurants are having low carb meals now! More choices than before!

Thanks for the review. I'm waiting for a TGIFridays GC to come in from one of my rewards programs so I can go try it. Hope that GC gets here soon!

That's cool. Post a review of what you eat, please. They had some good stuff on there but I'm not that daring with chicken dishes so I picked the simplest dish.

I went Friday night for B'day and "splurged" and got the sirloin steak with bleu cheese and steamed veggies, very filling and the best steak I've had in a long time. I think 5 or 6 carbs total...Wasn't even tempted as my kids ate their "dirt in a cup" dessert on either side of me
