With no plant-based burger and no non-dairy milkshakes, the vegan options at Steak n’ Shake become pretty scarce. If you’re vegan at Steak n’ Shake you’re going to be choosing between a side salad or a random collection of sides.
Here’s to hoping Steak n’ Shake jumps on the plant-based burger bandwagon that is becoming more and more popular.
We wouldn’t be mad about a non-dairy milkshake either 😉

Steak n’ Shake’s official statement regarding cross-contamination:
While a particular ingredient statement for an individual product may not list one of these allergens, our products may be prepared in an environment that is shared with products containing one or more of these allergens.
Accordingly, Steak ’n Shake cannot assure that any menu item will be “allergen free.”
While we can’t confirm this (yet), based on experience we would imagine this would be especially true for the fries and hash browns in the fryer. Make sure to check with your server if this may be an issue for you.
Steak n’ Shake FAQ
Are Steak n’ Shake’s Onion Rings Vegan?
According to Steak n’ Shake’s ingredients list, their onion rings contain whey. This means they are not vegan. Whey is also the last ingredient listed meaning it’s the smallest amount of any ingredient in the onion rings.
So close Steak n’ Shake. So close.
