Vegan Fast Food & Restaurant Guides

Don't get stuck eating side salads. We review major fast food and restaurant chains so you know exactly how to order a satisfying, filling vegan meal anywhere.

Vegan Options at Chipotle

Chipotle is an incredible option for a filling, high-protein plant-based meal on the go. Almost everything besides the meat, cheese, and sour cream is naturally vegan.

Vegan Options at Burger King

Burger King became a pioneer in fast-food vegan options by teaming up with Impossible Foods early on, making plant-based burgers highly accessible.

Vegan Options at Starbucks

Starbucks is incredibly easy to navigate as a vegan. With multiple dairy alternatives and several plant-based snacks, it is a safe haven for breakfast and coffee.

Vegan Options at Panda Express

Panda Express significantly improved its vegan menu in recent years by removing chicken broth from their base ingredients, opening up multiple plant-based combinations.

In the US, McDonald's is notoriously difficult for vegans due to beef flavoring in the fries. However, there are a few safe menu hacks available, and international McDonald's locations have massive plant-based menus.

Vegan Options at Subway

Subway offers a customizable "build-your-own" model, making it a reliable fast-food choice for obtaining a fully customizable vegan sandwich loaded with fresh veggies.

Vegan Options at Wendy's

Wendy's options are largely side items, but they have one massive advantage over McDonald's: their famous fries are fully vegan.

Vegan Options at Domino's

Domino's is surprisingly accommodating if you know exactly how to order. While there's no vegan cheese in the US yet, their signature crust can be easily modified.

Vegan Options at Panera Bread

Panera offers several hearty, health-focused vegan options. They frequently rotate their menu, but there are always solid plant-based soups and salads available.

Vegan Options at Olive Garden

You might assume an Italian chain is loaded with dairy and eggs, but Olive Garden actually has an iconic, infinitely refillable vegan meal available.
