What to order at each chain
Chipotle
Mexican fast-casualChipotle is one of the easiest fast-casual chains for vegans: its own Special Diets chart marks Sofritas, both tortillas, both rices, both beans, the vegetables, all four salsas, chips and guacamole as vegan. The vegan core is a Sofritas or Veggie burrito, bowl, salad or tacos built without cheese, sour cream, queso blanco, Cilantro Lime Sauce or the Chipotle-Honey Vinaigrette.
Vegan options →Taco Bell
Mexican fast foodTaco Bell is not a vegan restaurant, but its own ingredient statements tag the black beans, refried beans, potato bites, seasoned rice, flour tortilla, taco, tostada and chalupa shells, guacamole, Red Sauce and sauce packets as certified vegan, and Cinnamon Twists, Black Beans and Rice and Chips and Guacamole are vegan as served. Many vegetarian items become vegan when ordered Fresco (dairy and mayo-based sauces swapped for pico de gallo) with beans or potato bites in place of any meat.
Vegan options →Starbucks
CoffeeStarbucks is vegan-friendly, mostly for drinks: it tags the Spicy Falafel Pocket, Plain Bagel and Everything Bagel vegan, and many coffees, teas and Refreshers are vegan as made or after swapping to oatmilk, soymilk, almondmilk or coconutmilk. Watch for dairy in the whipped cream, caramel drizzle, Dark Caramel Sauce, standard and protein cold foams and the white chocolate, pumpkin spice and pistachio sauces, and for honey in the chai and the Honey Blend Syrup.
Vegan options →Subway
SandwichesSubway is vegan-friendly once you drop the cheese: the Artisan Italian, Hearty Multigrain and Artisan Flatbread breads, both wraps, every vegetable, avocado and the Veggie Patty (which Subway's US menu calls a "vegan patty", at participating locations) have no animal ingredients in its October 2026 ingredient guide. Order a Veggie Delite or Veggie Patty sub, wrap or salad with no cheese and dress it with oil and red wine vinegar, yellow mustard, BBQ, Sweet Onion Teriyaki or Frank's RedHot Buffalo, because the cheese breads, creamy sauces, cookies, soups, nachos and pizza are not vegan.
Vegan options →Domino's
PizzaDomino's is not built for vegans: its US menu labels nothing vegan, offers no plant-based cheese or meat, and puts whey or honey in every crust except the Crunchy Thin Crust. The vegan core is a Crunchy Thin Crust pizza with Robust Inspired Tomato Sauce, no cheese, no garlic crust seasoning and vegetable toppings, plus the Marinara, Garlic, Hot Buffalo and Sweet Mango Habanero dipping cups.
Vegan options →Burger King
BurgersBurger King labels nothing on its US menu as vegan and says it makes no claim that the Impossible Whopper or any other product meets the requirements of a vegan or vegetarian diet, adding that the Impossible patty is cooked on the same grill as meat patties. By its own ingredient lists, though, the Impossible Whopper ordered with no mayo, the French fries, onion rings, Have-sies, hash browns, French Toast Sticks with syrup, Mott's applesauce and the ketchup, mustard, BBQ, Sweet & Sour and marinara sauces list no animal ingredients.
Vegan options →Del Taco
Mexican fast foodDel Taco works for vegans with simple swaps, but it has had no plant-based meat since it said in October 2025 that it was discontinuing Beyond Meat. The vegan core is its lard-free pinto beans, cilantro lime rice, guacamole, salsas and red or green sauce in flour or corn tortillas, plus Crinkle Cut Fries and Hashbrown Sticks, which Del Taco itself labels vegan.
Vegan options →Panera Bread
Bakery-cafePanera is workable for vegans who customize: its published ingredient lists show no animal ingredients in its core breads, seven bagels, the Steel Cut Oatmeal, chips, fruit, the Tropical Green Smoothie, five dressings, hummus, edamame and the farro and rice blend. Every soup and dessert contains dairy, eggs or meat and no entree is vegan as served, but the Sesame Ginger bowl and Asian Sesame salad without chicken, and the Greek and Harvest Medley salads without feta, are vegan.
Vegan options →Dunkin'
Coffee & donutsDunkin' is easy for vegan drinks, since coffee, cold brew, lattes, chai and matcha can be made with oatmilk or almondmilk and flavored with the Mocha Swirl or a Flavor Shot, and the Brown Sugar Shakin' Espresso and the Strawberry Dragonfruit and Mango Pineapple Refreshers are vegan as served. Vegan food is limited to Hash Browns, Avocado Toast, the avocado Spreads cup, the English Muffin and four bagels, because every donut, muffin and croissant contains milk or egg and the veggie sausage and veggie bacon contain egg and milk.
Vegan options →Wendy's
BurgersWendy's is not very vegan-friendly: there is no plant-based protein on its US menu, every bun lists milk (the Sandwich Bun at select locations), and every cookie, bakery item and Frosty contains dairy, egg or both. The vegan core is sides, namely French Fries, a Plain Baked Potato with chives, Apple Bites and breakfast Seasoned Potatoes, plus an Apple Pecan Salad without chicken, blue cheese and pecans, with Sweet Chili sauce, ketchup and Pomegranate Vinaigrette to go with them.
Vegan options →sweetgreen
Salad and bowl fast-casualSweetgreen is one of the easier mixed chains for vegans: its own menu marks the Shroomami and Hummus + Focaccia as vegan, and its published ingredient lists show the roasted tofu, seasoned chickpeas, hummus, portobello mix, grains, most vegetables and five house dressings contain no animal ingredients. The traps are honey (balsamic vinaigrette, hot honey mustard, honey BBQ sauce and the crispy rice topping), egg yolks in the ranches, garlic aioli, Dill Pickle AYOH! and Caesar, dairy in the ranches and Caesar, and cheese on many signature bowls, so most bowls need a swap or two.
Vegan options →True Food Kitchen
Health-focused sit-down restaurantTrue Food Kitchen is very vegan-friendly for a mixed chain: its menus mark vegan dishes with a V, and the core menu has V-marked bowls, a vegan burger, a vegan pizza, vegan sides, vegan desserts and two vegan weekend brunch dishes. The vegan core is the Ancient Grains, Teriyaki Quinoa and Korean Noodle Bowls (add Organic Grilled Tofu), the Vegan Double Cheeseburger, the Spinach & Wild Mushroom Pizza on the sourdough crust, the Air-Fried French Fries and the Chocolate Chip Cookie with Vegan Vanilla Ice Cream.
Vegan options →Flower Child
Healthy fast-casualFlower Child is very vegan-friendly for a mixed chain: it marks vegan dishes with its own icon on every menu and its allergen chart repeats the vegan flag for the core menu. The vegan core is the Mother Earth and "Forbidden" Rice bowls, the Chopped Vegetable and Ginger Miso Crunch salads, both hummus plates, tofu, six vegan sides and the Chocolate Pudding, plus the Glow Bowl, Spicy Coconut Green Curry and Black Bean Falafel wrap (or the new Flo-Cho Chow and Hoisin Tofu "Bánh Mì" where the fall menu has launched).
Vegan options →&pizza
Pizza fast-casual&pizza is one of the easier fast-casual pizza chains for vegans: Thee Sheriff, Hot in Here and the Vegan Knots are tagged Vegan on its own online ordering menu, and its allergen guide has an Animal Product column for most ingredients. The vegan core is Traditional or Gluten-Free dough, Classic or Spicy Tomato sauce, Vegan Mozzarella, Roasted Tofu, Abbot's Vegan Sausage or Zesty Chickpea, any vegetable, and a BBQ, Buffalo or Truffle Oil drizzle.
Vegan options →Mellow Mushroom
Pizza restaurantMellow Mushroom is one of the easier pizza chains for vegans: its menu has a Vegan section marked with a vegan icon, it uses Follow Your Heart Dairy-Free Cheese and offers tempeh, and its allergen data shows the crusts and Mellow Red Sauce as free of animal products. The vegan core is the Vegan Veg-Out, Vegan Cheese Pizza and Vegan Build Your Own Pizza, the Vegan Tempeh and Vegan Avocado hoagies, and the two Vegan salads with Balsamic Vinaigrette or Oil & Vinegar, while pesto, aioli, beer cheese, the tots and every dessert are off the list.
