The Best Vegan Options at Wendy's

Your ultimate guide to building a plant-based meal at Wendy's.

Eating Vegan 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.

The Tastiest Plant-Based Dishes

If you're pulling into the drive-thru, these are the top plant-based menu items you must try:

  • Plain Baked Potato
  • French Fries
  • Apple Bites
  • Premium Buns (With extra veggies)

Menu Hacks and Custom Orders

Get the most out of Wendy's's menu by modifying these classic dishes to remove hidden animal ingredients:

  • Order the baked potato "plain" and top it with chives, pepper, or bring your own vegan butter.
  • Unlike McDonald's, Wendy's fries contain no beef flavor and are plant-based.
  • Wendy's occasionally tests plant-based black bean burgers in select markets—check if your local branch carries them!

Cross-Contamination Warnings

Fries and potatoes are cooked in the same fryers as chicken nuggets, so cross-contamination with meat oil is standard.
