Heading to TGI Fridays, hoping they just might have vegan options? Keep reading and we will share what those options are! We also share what modifications you may need to make if a menu item can be made vegan but isn’t as-is on the menu.

The main one you may already be aware of is TGI Friday’s Beyond Burger. You also have the option of a House Salad and if cross-contamination isn’t a concern, Chips & Salsa and Fries. The Kids menu also includes an option.

Our Picks

Ryan’s Pick: I’ve not been to a TGI Fridays since going vegan although, fun fact, I worked at one for a brief stint in college.

Jen’s Pick: The veganized Beyond Burger is really good! I was pleasantly surprised. The Seasoned Fries on the other hand were just ok. I had read so many reviews of people raving about them so hopefully I just got a not so great batch.
