Heading to a Nationals Park, home of the Washington Nationals, and looking to see if they have vegan options for the 2025 baseball season? You are in the right place!
We have shared each vegan option along with where you can find it in the ballpark along with a few items from their concessions menu we have questions about.
We’ve also collected CBP’s policies regarding bringing in your own food and drinks as well as a couple of suggestions on nearby vegan spots to eat at before or after the game.
If you see an addition that can be made or a change to this guide, please let us know! 🙂

The following have NOT been confirmed vegan.
Melissa’s Field of Greens^
^In the past, Melissa’s has offered vegan options; however, this vendor was NOT listed in the vegan section of the ballparks concessions guide. It is listed in the vegetarian section and from the other dietary information the guide gives, all of their items contain either dairy or egg except for the veggie dog WITHOUT the bun. If you stop by and learn that they do have at least 1 menu item that is vegan-friendly, please let us know what that item is!
- Section 136
Veggie Dog^
NOT vegan. I chose to share this here because I know many of you will have questions. From what I have gathered, the Veggie Dog’s bun contains dairy. Could you order it without the bun? Possibly, but we have not confirmed if the dog itself is 100% animal-free.
- Section 136, 229 & 301
Chips and Dips^
NOT confirmed vegan.
Los Cincos Tacos has chips and dips on their menu. What that means, we’re not sure. Is it chips and salsa? Chips and guacamole? If you stop by and ask, please let us know!
- Section 309
Please reach out if you know of any other vegan options we can add to the guide.

If you’re thinking about bringing your own food into Nationals Park, here are a few policies you need to know. These were pulled directly from the Nationals A to Z Guide.

See their prohibited list in the Bag Policy Guide.
Outside Food and Beverage (as of 4.7.25)
- Single-serving food items may be brought into the Nationals Park, as long as they are contained in one of the approved bags under the Nationals current bag policy, or carried in your hands so the food items can be safely screened by security.

- Only one water bottle per person will be permitted.
- For the safety of everyone, no frozen water bottles will be permitted into Nationals Park.
Vegan Options Near Nationals Park
We also did a bit of research on the area around Nationals Park. We found a couple vegan spots that could be great for grabbing a bite to eat before or after the game. This is not a comprehensive list, just a couple places that piqued our interest.
PLNT Burger
101 H St SE, Washington, DC 20003
Located only a half-mile north of the stadium is PLNT Burger, a location that is high up on our bucket list to try. This location is right inside the Whole Foods so it should be pretty easy to find.
PLNT Burger is a growing chain with around 10 locations now, mostly in Virginia. We’ve heard their burgers are amazing and can’t wait to try one ourselves. Definitely worth checking out if you get the chance.
HipCityVeg
712 7th St NW, Washington, DC 20001
HipCityVeg is another up and coming vegan chain located primarily in Philadelphia and DC. We got a chance to try HipCityVeg a few times while we were living in Philly.
All the burgers we tried were great, sweet potato fries are really good and we both were especially fond of the Banana Whip. If you’ve never had it, banana whip is an ice cream like dessert that uses only bananas and then you can choose various toppings. If you’ve never tried it, we highly recommend it!
There are actually two locations not two far from the stadium, the location on 7th St being the closest.
