As chain restaurants continue to add vegan options, it’s never been easier to find convenient vegan food wherever you live. Some rapidly growing chains don’t serve meat and dairy at all. At these vegan chains, you can find loaded burgers, vegan chicken sandwiches, filling salads, and so much more, all made without ingredients that harm animals. Cows, chickens, pigs, fish, and other animals used for food never get the chance to live the way nature intended. Instead, they are kept in cramped and filthy cages, genetically manipulated to grow larger or produce more milk, and slaughtered by the billions each year.
Veggie Grill
Veggie Grill is a fast-casual spot with locations throughout California, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon, and Washington.

Meat-free since 1994, Native Foods is an all-vegan chain with modern comfort food favorites like the Gastropub Burger and chef’s specials like the French Dip. You can find locations in Colorado, Oregon, Southern California, and elsewhere.

Modern Love
Modern Love is a vegan restaurant with locations in Brooklyn and Omaha, Nebraska. It’s run by vegan chef Isa Chandra Moskowitz, who is known for her blog, “Post Punk Kitchen,” and her many cookbooks.
