The Waffle Fries are vegan and one of the best fries in fast food. The wraps can be made vegan with a little effort and the English muffin is vegan if you’re in a pinch for breakfast.

Our Picks
Ryan’s Pick: Update: All this nonsense that I describe below is just the Cool Wrap with no chicken, cheese or dressing.
I’m not totally sure this is even helpful, but I’m going to go completely off the board. We get Chick-Fil-A catered at work and they started bringing in a vegan option for me.
It’s a wrap that appears to be filled with the majority of the Southwest Salad. It’s lettuce, beans, corn and peppers. Could have something else in there, I’m not sure. I’m also not sure if this is something they can do on the fly if one would try to order it at a restaurant or something they can only do through catering.
I promise I’ll ask some questions the next time they cater here and try to find out more info. So, like I said – I’m not even sure if this is helpful. I will say this: I add a little Polynesian sauce to it and IT IS DELICIOUS!
Jen’s Pick: The couple of times I’ve eaten here since being vegan, I got the Waffle Fries and Superfood side. Both equally delicious!
