Burgers
Luckily, Shake Shack has a new veggie burger. It has a vegan patty and is topped with cheese, crispy onions, pickles, and ShackSauce. With changes, this burger can fit in with a vegan diet.
- Veggie Shack - This can be a vegan option with modifications as the veggie patty itself is vegan. You need to order it without the American cheese, crispy onions and bun as all three contain dairy.

FAQs
Shake Shack started as a hot dog cart in New York City's Madison Square Park in 2001. It got super popular, so they built a real restaurant in 2004. They expanded to serve more than hot dogs and shakes, adding yummy burgers and fries.
People loved the fresh food and friendly vibe. Shake Shack's idea of "enlightened hospitality" made it special, and it spread to different cities and countries. "Enlightened hospitality" means making sure every customer has an awesome experience. They cared about the planet too, using eco-friendly materials and giving back to communities.
Unfortunately, no. While the 'Shroom Burger is vegetarian, it is not vegan. It is stuffed with both muenster and cheddar cheese and the bun contains dairy products.
No, unfortunately the ShackSauce contains eggs and is a non-vegan sauce. Hopefully in the future they can make a version with vegan mayo instead.
Surprisingly, the regular burger buns contain dairy. However, their gluten-free bun is vegan or you could also choose a lettuce wrap,
On the Shake Shack website, it states that its meatless burger is made with the following plant-based ingredients: mushrooms, sweet potatoes, carrots, farro and quinoa. It's a veggie burger, not one that completely mimics meat like an Impossible burger or Beyond Burger. Even with the veggies I found it to be meat-like.
No, their only hot dog option is made of animal products.
Summary
Shake Shack isn't just your regular burger joint. Two vegan dessert options...vegan shakes and frozen custard? That's pretty much unheard of in the fast-food world. With several delectable vegan options including burgers and desserts, Shake Shack proves that fast food can be indulgent without using animal ingredients.
