The vegan options at Chick-Fil-A are not that bad considering it’s a fast food spot where the cows are pleading with you to eat the chickens.
The Waffle Fries are vegan and one of the best fries in fast food. The wrap can be made vegan with a little effort and the English muffin is vegan if you’re in a pinch for breakfast.
Here is the full list of vegan options at Chick-Fil-A:
