Are you wondering about the Shake Shack vegan options? This Ultimate Guide will show you exactly which menu items will satisfy your cravings.
Before losing 125 pounds, I enjoyed eating a beef burger and french fries, which I washed down with a large soda and usually followed up with a cookie or two.
Now that I have lost weight and started enjoying a vegan diet, I pay close attention to vegan food offered at restaurants like the fast-food chain Shake Shack.
I know dining out as a vegan can sometimes be challenging, so I am happy to share this vegan guide for those wanting to avoid animal products, limit meat consumption, and learn the Shake Shack vegan options.

Shake Shack Vegan Options
Did you know the Shake Shack restaurant chain gets it’s name from the movie Grease? Yep, just a fun fact that will help you appreciate them in addition to the new plant-based items added to their core menu. It’s not fully vegan yet, but they’re definitely stepping up their game.
Jay Livingston, the Chief Marketing Officer of Shake Shack stated in May 2023, “We take a fine-dining approach to culinary innovation and spent five years testing and refining our new Veggie Shack with our culinary team.”
Shack Shack which has more than 262 locations in the United States, and more than 142 international spots has had several different veggie burger iterations. They now offer a Veggie Shack burger which is made with vegetables like sweet potatoes, carrots, and quinoa at all of its US locations. “It’s packed with garden-variety vegetables and powered by farro and quinoa for a crave-able, substantial bite.” said Jay Livingston
Keep in mind that there could be cross-contamination if you’re a strict vegan, and that bothers you. It’s always a good idea to ask before ordering a vegan meal.
Shake Shack’s website states the following menu items are vegan-friendly options.

How to Order Vegan at Shake Shack
Their new veggie burger is a vegan burger, however you will need to make modifications to the Veggie Shack burger. You’ll need to request it without American cheese, crispy onions, or the Shack Sauce, and swap the bun for a lettuce wrap or a gluten-free bun which is a vegan bun.
You can add avocado, cherry peppers, or yummy pickled jalapenos that are offered at select locations.
French Fries
Shake Shack’s fries are a great vegan option as long as you skip the cheese or bacon toppings. The crinkle-cut fries are deliciously crispy on their own, making them a perfect plant-based option. Whether you’re pairing them with a Veggie Shack burger or enjoying them solo, you can rest assured that they fit into a vegan diet when ordered plain.

Does Shake Shack have Vegetarian Options
Yes! The fast food chain has offered the shroom burger for several years. It’s a vegetarian burger since it includes dairy and eggs.
