Shake Shack has chosen to add a couple of vegan options to all of their locations in the United States in 2023. Finally!
We knew they had been testing a burger, custard and milkshake since November 2020 at various locations in California, New York, Texas, New Jersey, Kentucky, and Ohio. It appeared the burger did not stay on permanently but we’ve seen the custard and shake available.
Now you will be able to order a traditional burger, fries & shake at Shake Shack. Be aware though, there will be many modifications for the Veggie Shack… aka, their new veggie burger.
Vegan Options at Shake Shack
–> There has been a lot of incomplete info out there about how to make the Veggie Shack vegan. I answer all of the questions below but if you have read information that does not match up, I wrote about it here
.
Burger
- Veggie Shack. Order with NO cheese, crispy onions or shake sauce. SUB the burger bun with either a gluten-free bun (cost extra) or a lettuce wrap … comes with a meatless burger consisting of sweet potatoes, carrots, farro & quinoa and pickles. We suggest asking for ketchup and/or mustard to use as a sauce.
Burger Toppings Available
Some may cost extra. Check with your location.
- Pickles
- Cherry Peppers
- Sliced Onion
- Avocado
- Lettuce
- Tomato
Side
- Fries*
Vegan Shake/Frozen Custard
- Non-Dairy Chocolate Custard
- Non-Dairy Chocolate Shake.
* As with any restaurant that is not 100% vegan or does not offer a designated cooking space for their vegan options, cross-contamination can occur and fryers/grills may be shared with animal products. You can choose what your level of comfort is with these potential issues.

Our Picks
Jen’s Pick: The Veggie Shack on a lettuce wrap; ordered with NO cheese, crispy onions or shake sauce. Add tomato and pickles, Fries and their Non-Dairy Chocolate Shake.
The burger patty is very flavorful! And the Fries with Non-Dairy Chocolate Shake remind me of back in the day (pre-vegan) when I would get a frosty and fries from Wendy’s. Yum!
