A Naturalist’s Guide To The Best Places Featuring Natural Foods, Products, and Experiences
Chick-fil-A has been serving up chicken sandwiches since the very first restaurant opened in Atlanta in 1967. Despite being closed on Sundays, the chicken chain is consistently ranked as the best and highest-grossing fast-food chain restaurant in America. The restaurant focuses on freshly prepared food with hand-breaded chicken and regular produce deliveries. Salads and lemonade are prepared throughout the day using simple ingredients.
As a vegetarian, Chick-fil-A is one of my favorite restaurants. I get that it is a chicken restaurant but it is still nice to have options especially as more people go plant-based. Chick-fil-A has few options to choose from but there is something for both vegetarians and vegans. I highly recommend the southwest veggie wrap with the creamy salsa. It is one of the best veggie wraps that I have ever had proving that Chick-fil-A can do vegetarian right. I would love it if Chick-fil-A had more plant-based options but in terms of their current offering of all-natural, delicious food we give it three and a half stars out of five.
Here’s what to get at Chick-fil-A as a vegetarian or vegan:
Vegetarian-Friendly Food At Chick-Fil-A
It is important to note that Chick-fil-A does not designate vegetarian-only prep surfaces but maybe they will implement them in the future if the demand is there. The waffle fries are fried in canola oil.
Breakfast: Biscuit with egg and cheese, biscuit with egg, biscuit, fruit cup, and hashbrowns
Lunch and Dinner: Southwest veggie wrap and creamy salsa, any entrée salad without chicken, cool wrap without chicken, fruit cup, berry parfait, waffle fries, chocolate chunk cookie, Icedream cup, milkshakes, frosted lemonade, and frosted coffee
The southwest veggie wrap isn’t on all menus but it is allegedly a secret menu item than can be ordered at almost any location.
Vegan-Friendly Food At Chick-Fil-A
Breakfast: Fruit cup and hashbrowns
Lunch and Dinner: Any entrée salad except Cobb that does not have chicken or cheese, select salad dressings (fat-free honey mustard, light balsamic vinegarette, light Italian, and zesty apple cider vinegarette are seemingly vegan and can be confirmed here), cool wrap without chicken or cheese, fruit cup, and waffle fries
Sustainability Practices at Chick-fil-A
For the carnivores, Chick-fil-A sources their chicken from farms in the U.S. and has a commitment to source only 100% cage-free eggs by 2026.
