Vegan Options at Dallas Fort Worth Airport

Are you currently looking for vegan options in the Dallas Fort Worth Airport (DFW)?

You’re in the right place!

In this guide we’ll break down each terminal, giving you the best vegan options available, where they are and a couple of menu suggestions.

Finally, we found quite a few local restaurants inside the airport, but couldn’t determine which, if any, offered good vegan options. If you know of any good options that we’re missing, please reach out and let us knowOpens in a new tab. so we can improve this guide!

Vegan Options at Dallas Fort Worth

Many chain location names are clickable and will take you to the complete vegan guide for that restaurant.

Terminal A

TGI Friday’s (Gate A14)

Vegan Options at Dallas Forth Worth Airport

This TGI Friday’s airport location offers a couple of menu items that are or can be made vegan; including a Beyond Burger.  Remember, all restaurants that are not 100% vegan can/will have cross-contamination. You choose your level of comfort. Cross-reference our TGI Friday’s guide to know how to order. When in doubt, ask questions to your server or ask for a manager.

Farmer’s Fridge (Gates A13 & A21)

A vending machine with touchless ordering and offers a reward program with the Farmer’s Fridge app. You can find a variety of options ranging from oats, a burrito bowl, chips & guac and even vegan cookie dough bites. Verify what you choose is vegan-friendly.  These options will always vary.

Whisk & Bowl (Gate A13)

Coffee and Grab & Go items… Whisk & Bowl offers almond and soy milk for your coffee drinks and a VeggL user let us know the Quinoa & Veggie Wrap appears to be vegan friendly. Please double-check the ingredients for yourself. Thank you Matt for the suggestion!

McDonald’s (Gates A17 & A35)

The only vegan option you will find at a McDonald’s is their oatmeal. Order it with NO cream. Technically, you could order a Hamburger with NO animal patty if you really need something but be aware the fries are NOT vegan.

Smoothie KingOpens in a new tab. (Gates A18 & A25)

Smoothie King can be a vegan haven. They offer so many options that are vegan as-is or can be modified and that includes a vegan protein powder. Check our linked guide and cross-reference with what the airport location offers to determine what you can order.

StarbucksOpens in a new tab. (Gates A20 & A 37)

With the many options of non-dairy milk (oat, almond, soy, coconut) available at all Starbucks, there is almost an infinite number of vegan drinks you can order.

On the food side, you have a couple of options including Bagels (plain or everything–ask if they have guacamole or a peanut butter packet to top it with) or Oatmeal. Airport locations may be limited so you can also check the ingredients on their snacks.

Auntie Anne’s Pretzels (Gate A21)

Many Auntie Anne’s pretzels are vegan (Original, Cinnamon and a few others) as long as you ask for them to be prepared with NO butter!

Verify with the airport location that they are able to make you a special order and be prepared to wait. The pretzels with NO butter are not an option that is readily available.

Twisted Root (Gate A25)

A VeggL user let us know about a vegan burger at Twisted Root called the Vegabond. We have not confirmed any other vegan options at the restaurant so double-check when stopping by.

La MadeleineOpens in a new tab. (Gate A25)

The airport menu typically has a couple of vegan-friendly options. We do not have access to it from their website. We suggest cross referencing our guide attached with what their menu at the airport says. Ask questions.

Panera BreadOpens in a new tab. (Gate A33)

Panera is great for fresh bagels, sandwiches, salads and bowls. Look for steel-cut oatmeal with strawberries & pecans or either their Mediterranean Bowl or Veggie Sandwich. A couple of substitutions need to be made; find the most up-to-date info in the Panera Bread link.

Terminal B

Plum Market (Gate B4)

A VeggL user gave us very helpful info for Plum Market! They offer Vegan Cauliflower Tacos with 2 sides. From what we have been told, they only keep one vegan side on the food bar though. We also learned that they offer Unreal candies including the quinoa bites, Justin’s dark chocolate PB cups and a Cali Crunch Wrap that contains kale, hummus, and lentils.

Vegan items, including cold items in the market, are clearly labeled. vn is for vegan. vg is vegetarian.

Thank you for your help, Larry & Marissa!

Dunkin’ (Gate B5)

While there are no vegan donuts, Dunkin’ still offers a few solid vegan options, including Everything and Cinnamon Raisin bagels, hash browns and avocado toast. They also provide almond and oat milk at no extra charge.

TGI FridaysOpens in a new tab. (Gate B9)

We recommend cross-referencing TGI’s airport menu with our linked vegan guide for them. We have been told the airport locations will carry their Beyond Burger but we’re not sure if all airport locations carry it.

One VeggL user, Amanda, let us know we were missing this restaurant on the guide and confirmed she was able to order pasta & sauce with veggies. Yet another VeggL user, Michael, let us know he was only able to get spinach here. It sounds like your options may vary and you will have to ask what they are when you visit.

Thank you for the info, Morgan, Eric & Ruthanna! And more recently, a VeggL’er let us know that they struggled with getting the correct order–was given non-vegan food. Double check your order is correct!

Buffalo Wild WingsOpens in a new tab. (Gate D27)

We suggest verifying which of the items we have listed are available and can be prepared as we have them on the VeggL guide. We say this since locations can vary on what they are able to do in airports.
