These 25 Chain Restaurants Have Some Pretty Legit Vegan Options

Feel like eating vegan on-the-go pretty much always involves ordering a side salad sans the meat, cheese, and dressing? Plain lettuce and a few tomatoes gets old fast.

With eggs hidden in "special sauces" and lard in the French fries, finding animal-free meals in restaurants requires a lot of detective work—especially at fast food joints and nationwide fast-casual chains that may not have all of their menu's ingredient info right out in the open for you to sift through.

The next time you're on the road, visiting friends, or just feel like grabbing a quick and easy bite to eat, go for one of the following vegan-friendly eateries. With easy (and delish) vegan options on their menus, you can order and enjoy your eats without having to whip out your magnifying glass. Go ahead and kiss those sad side salads goodbye.
