Guides to eating vegan at chain restaurants, fast-food places, and more!
Twin Peaks is like a lumberjack-themed version of Hooters. All their marketing is about being “manly,” and their gift cards are called “Man Cards.” I wasn’t expecting a ton of vegan options… But there was actually a decent selection! Vegan options at Twin Peaks: Beyond Burger (Custom Order) Fire Roasted Salsa & Chips French Fries … Read more
Bonefish Grill isn’t particularly exciting for vegans: There’s no mock meats or vegan desserts. Heck, the fries aren’t even vegan. That said, they make it pretty easy to get a bunch of vegetables and rice. And if you’re there for brunch, the avocado toast is awesome.

In my 13 years as a vegan, I’ve been to many ice cream places that offer just 1 token vegan ice cream flavor. Don’t get me wrong—it’s appreciated—but it doesn’t really leave you many options. Bruster’s, on the other hand, is quit a bit better for us vegans. Bruster’s has 8 flavors of dairy-free coconut … Read more
Good Times is pretty vegan-friendly for a burger place. They have two different ways to order a vegan black bean burger, and three kinds of fries! Heck, even their “Cookie Dough” dessert topping is vegan, if you want to make some kind of custom order with that. Vegan options at Good Times: Southwestern Black Bean … Read more
Taco Bueno isn’t very flashy about having vegan options. They don’t have Beyond Meat or vegan cheese or anything. Heck, their refried beans aren’t even vegan. But if you look closely, they’ve actually got some great vegan options, including burritos and a cinnamon dessert. Vegan options at Taco Bueno: Black Bean Burrito w/ Guac (No … Read more

As a vegan with 13 years of dining experience, I can help guide you through it all. Vegan options at Chuck E. Cheese’s: Build Your Own Vegan Pizza … Read more
BurgerIM is pretty good for us vegans. They don’t only have one vegan burger—they have two! I mean, sure, the selection of sides could be better… And the lack of ingredients online makes it hard to plan your meal completely. But two kinds of vegan burgers! I can’t complain. Vegan options at BurgerIM: Impossible Burger … Read more
Pinkberry is a pretty fun place to go as a vegan. Not only do they have a line of dairy-free frozen yogurts—they also have “Just Fruit” sorbets that are kinda almost healthy! The exact options depend on the day and location, but there’s actually a lot to be excited about. Vegan options at Pinkberry: Coconut … Read more
