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.
