You cannot go wrong with stopping at a Yard House for vegan eats. Be aware that most, but not all, of their vegan-friendly menu items do share a fryer with animal menu items. What we do appreciate is how transparent they are with what is vegan-friendly, how to modify and what shares fryers.

You, of course, can choose your level of comfort. Personally, I’m a big fan of their edamame with their Garden Chicken Rice Bowl. Currently, these two items are vegan as-is.

Let’s get into all of their options!
