Vegan & plant based Shake Shack Guide
Discover plant based options at Shake Shack. Review our verified guide to naturally vegan sides, refreshments, and custom veggie burger orders.
plant based Fast Food Realities
Eating 100% vegan at Shake Shack is highly achievable with a few easy modifications. Standard buns contain milk and butter, meaning vegan burgers must be ordered lettuce wrapped (Protein Style) or bunless. Additionally, the Veggie Shack patty is fully plant based, but you must explicitly request it without cheese and without ShackSauce to make it vegan friendly. Our world famous crinkle cut fries contain no animal ingredients, though they share oil fryers with breaded chicken.
Vegan Ordering Hacks
- Order Veggie Shack: Request a lettuce wrap, remove cheese, and remove ShackSauce.
- Fries are 100% vegan (potatoes, salt, soy oil) but prepared in a shared fryer.
- Pair with a refreshing fresh brewed iced tea or house made fruit lemonade.
