Vegan Options at Johnny Rockets (Updated 2024)

Vegan Options at Johnny Rockets

The vegan options at Johnny Rockets vary based on location.

Some offer the Streamerliner Burger while others offer the Streamliner AND an Impossible Burger.

Sides like Fries, Tots and Sweet Potato Fries are also vegan, but cross-contamination is present which is no different than most chain restaurants that do not offer a 100% vegan kitchen or cooking space.

In addition to the Impossible Burger, some locations also offer 3 dairy-free milkshakes (Chocolate, Vanilla & Strawberry) featuring Craig’s hand scooped ice cream!

Johnny Rockets Vegan FAQ


Johnny Rockets

Is Johnny Rockets black bean burger vegan?

Yes! The Gardein Black Bean Burger itself is vegan, however Johnny Rockets DOES NOT have a vegan bun. If you want a burger you’ll have to order it without a bun.

Are Johnny Rockets fries vegan?

The fries, tots and sweet potato fries are vegan but may share a fryer with animal products.

Is Johnny Rockets Streamliner vegan?

So, here’s the deal. Based on what we’ve learned, the Streamliner was a veggie Boca burger that was in fact vegan straight off the menu. Currently on Johnny Rockets website there is no mention of the Streamliner burger so we’re not sure whether the Gardein Black Bean Burger replaced the Streamliner or if it’s still being offered or not.

We’ve reached out to Johnny Rockets for clarification and we’ll update here once we get more information.

Does Johnny Rockets offer an Impossible Burger?

Yes! For the summer of 2021, Johnny Rockets is offering an Impossible Burger (with Vegan Daiya Cheddar cheese for an additional upcharge). Be aware though… they currently do not offer a vegan bun.

You must order this burger or the Gardein Black Bean burger bun-less or with a lettuce wrap. And do not forget to order with NO mayo!
