Hoping Shake Shack will have some vegan options? Heard they have a veggie burger now and wondering if it is vegan? We share those answers here!
Below, we have the details you will need if planning to order Shake Shack’s Veggie Shack (pay attention!) and can someone tell me why the non-dairy chocolate shake is no longer on the menu?
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*
* 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.
Shake Shack FAQ
Is Shake Shack’s Crispy Onions Vegan?
No. According to Shake Shack’s allergen guide, their Crispy Onions contain dairy.
What is the Veggie Shack Burger Patty made out of at Shake Shack?
According to Shake Shack, the Veggie Shack patty is made from portobello mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, sweet potatoes, carrots, celery, leeks, roasted red onion, roasted garlic, sunflower seeds, cabbage, beets, miso, chives, farro and quinoa.
The patty itself does NOT contain dairy or egg. If you see this as an allergen for the Veggie Burger, that is because of the potato bun it is served on, the crispy onions and sauce. You have to order it modified to be vegan-friendly.
Does Shake Shack Have Vegan Shakes?
No. In 2023, Shake Shack debuted an incredible non-dairy chocolate shake; however, when updating our Shack Shack guide in 2025, it is no longer on the menu. I’ll leave the pic here of my burger, fries & shake. Even though my burger did not have a bun on it, it was a special day in my over 10 years of being vegan to have this combo.
Does Shake Shack Have Vegan Meat?
Yes! Starting May 5, 2023, Shake Shack will offer a Veggie Pattie that is vegan. Be aware though, it is a veggie-filled one (sweet potatoes, carrots, farro & quinoa)–not an Impossible or Beyond type patty.
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 (no longer offered–very sad face) remind me of back in the day (pre-vegan) when I would get a frosty and fries from Wendy’s. Yum!
