One way to “Buy American” is by spending your money on experiences like dining out rather than spending on imported “stuff”. If that's not enough to lessen your guilt over eating out, we're making sticking to the Whole30 challenge easier by starting a list of Whole30 restaurants, listed by city. (Add your own in the comments and we'll update the list periodically.) You might have to make substitutions to make sure entrees are compliant with the challenge and food restrictions, but these restaurants are making it easier than ever.
Our Favorite Whole30 Restaurants: Listed by City
I did a bit of research to find restaurants in various cities that offer menu options that make it easy to stick to the Whole30 challenge while you're on the road, or just looking to dine-out in your own city. Be sure to check the menu and ask questions. You will have to make substitutions in order to stay within the rules of the challenge.

Washington, DC
I got a mad hankering for Alaskan king crab legs while I was doing my second Whole30 challenge so I headed to Del Frisco's Washington, DC location to satiate my craving. A special dinner out is a treat and I was thrilled I could indulge while still sticking to my clean eating Whole 30 challenge. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed all the seafood options at Del Frisco's. The chilled octopus appetizer is a must! It's so incredibly flavorful with a southern Italian inspired ingredients, like tomatoes, capers, lemon and olive oil. Here's everything I ate:
- Marinated Shrimp Appetizer
- Chilled Octopus: Tomatoes, Olives, Capers, Lemon & Cold Pressed Olive Oil – (Hold the gigante beans.)
- Alaskan King Crab, Stone Crab and the Seafood Platter, served with clarified butter and lemon.

Sounds like some fun places to try out. I am not in these cities but will bring a list next time I am out and about. My family loves to find new favorite foods/restaurants so this would be really fun.
Farmers, Fishers, Bakers in DC is one of my all-time faves!
I’d like to try a few of the steak or burger places. They sound like great restaurants.
