While vegan offerings are becoming more and more common as there’s more and more growth in demand throughout the US, some restaurants are simply more vegan-friendly than others.
When it comes to fast food restaurants, the category can be particularly tricky – especially if what the fast food joint specializes in is burgers. Whether you’re eating at McDonald’s, Burger King, or Chick-fil-A, you can expect pretty limited vegan options.
Unfortunately, In-N-Out is no different. Keep scrolling to discover all of your options when it comes to eating vegan at this popular burger chain.
Vegan food and drink choices on the In-N-Out menu
Obviously any burgers are out of the question, so that eliminates three of In-N-Out’s main offerings: the Hamburger, the Cheeseburger, and the Double Double. With only four total food items officially offered on the menu, that leaves one item in question: the French Fries.
Lucky for all of the vegans out there, In-N-Out’s fries are completely vegan-friendly! Unlike many fast food chains that cook their fries in lard or animal fats, In-N-Out fries their potatoes in sunflower oil, making the french fries fully vegan.
This is great news, but the bad news is that this is really the only food item you can order at In-N-Out if you’re on a vegan diet. With no veggie patties or plant-based meats offered, and such a small menu of items to choose from, it’s pretty much got to be french fries or bust there.
There is one other option: In-N-Out’s version of a “veggie burger”. While its’ not listed on the menu (or secret menu), this is something you can ask for there – however, it’s simply a burger order without the burger. So this item will come with lettuce, tomato, and onion inside a bun. And you’ll also need to replace the sauce with ketchup or mustard since In-N-Out’s signature spread contains mayonnaise.
Otherwise, if you’re just looking for something to sip on then you have more options to choose from. While the milkshakes and dairy-based hot cocoa are off limits, all of the other beverages available at In-N-Out are naturally vegan, including iced teas, coffee, and sodas.

No, at this time In-N-Out does not offer a veggie burger or any other plant-based meat options that are vegan or vegetarian. While you can order a veggie burger there, it will not come with a protein – just the bun, spread, and fillings without the burger patty.
Yes! Because In-N-Out fries are cooked in sunflower oil and they contain no other animal-derived ingredients, the burger chain’s french fries are fully vegan.
No, In-N-Out’s signature spread that they include on their burgers and in their animal-style orders is made with mayonnaise, which contains eggs.
