What are some good meatless meals at fast food restaurants ?

Question

I am trying to become a vegetarian, but I'm always on the go. What are your favorite meatless meals, that you've created, or a restaurant offers that you like ?

Answer 1

bean borritos at taco bell.

plain baked potato at wendy's, side salad

Answer 2

Taco Bell:
1/2 lb. Cheesy bean and rice burrito
Bean Burrito
Pintos & Cheese

Wendy's:
Baked Potato
Side Salad (NOT the Ceasar, it has bacon)

Burger King:
Veggie Burger

Subway:
Veggie Delight

Sonic:
Tater Sammich (not an actual menu item... I just order a meatless burger and stuff tater tots in it)
Jalapeno Poppers
Cheese Sticks

Pizza Hut/ Pizza Inn/ CiCi's...etc.
Any vegetable toppings (as long as there isn't meat in the sauce)

You can eat just about anywhere if you don't mind making special requests. Most fast food places have meat in almost everything, so you have to be creative sometimes.

Answer 3

Well, you can always be on the lookout for ethnic fastfood places, they might offer things like a vegetable curry or cucumber sushi rolls. As far as the major chains go, I think KFC is actually kind of good for vegetarians- they have coleslaw, macaroni & cheese, biscuits, potato wedges, and other meatless sides. I've long been a fan of getting a meatless whopper with cheese at Burger King and filling it with fries- sounds weird, but it's yummy, and french fry sandwiches as such are actually really popular in the UK and Australia. Taco Bell will adjust many of their menu items so that they are made with beans and not meat as well. Good luck in finding something that you like!

Answer 4

At sit down resterants... I go for the veggies...and anything pasta...you can always get plain pasta and add in veggies...fetuchini alfredo plain or with veggies is wonderful. Don't go to any steak houses...Texas Roadhouse has nothing else but rice, green beans, and a salad...steakhouses SUCK. I eat SUBWAY..or a wrap minus the meat at ARBY's...I eat whatever I want at TACO BELL...I pick what I want and tell them to replace the meat with beans ONLY. I get veggie burgers at BURGER KING. Make sure you tell them to cook them in the micorwave..they are supposed to but I have had a few messed up....if you don't care if it was cooked on the grill with meat then that doesnt' apply. I also get breakfast items at all of places...and there is always the salad...I really don't eat much of those though...You can also get burgers without the meat too but those are not much good..but will work when there are no other options.

Answer 5

The Subway veggie delight rules all.

If you get out of the big name chains and go to local fast food your better off getting vegetarian meals. Ethnic food restaurants are the key.

My favorite local Chinese food take-out deli always has a seasonal veggie bean dish, I like. Japanese Sushi restaurants usually have a tofu dish or two. Middle Eastern restaurants serve Falafel, which goes great with humus. And Indian restaurants have too many vegitarian dishes to name.

Answer 6

Most fast food restaurants have some sort of a side salad- though that's not very filling. Taco Bell's bean burrito is okay. I tried BK's veggie burger and to me it seemed kind of soggy and gross. Subway or any other sandwich shop is always a good bet for filling vegetarian food. Places like Noodles and Chipotle have a lot of great vegetarian options.

Answer 7

At Chipotle, the black beans, the rice, the tortillas, the taco shells, the salsas, and the fajita veggies are all vegan. The pinto beans, unfortunately, are made wtih pork.

Subway's Veggie Delight is good in a pinch.

I have heard that Wendy's Side Salad and their fries are vegan.

Answer 8

I find my best bet for fast food is anything Asian or Mexican.

In fact, all the Mexican restaurants I've eaten at lately even ask me whether or not I want cheese on my meal. I'm vegan, so they get brownie points for that.

But on the go I would definitely have a big fruit smoothie.

Answer 9

I eat a lot of bean burritos at Taco Bell, and that is about the only place I eat. Maybe a salad and fries at Wendys every once in a while.

Answer 10

I'm not a vegetarian, (yet, I'll start soon enough),
but one thing alot of people are going to say are "french fries."

I, however, won't say that, because french fries at fast food joints such as mcdonalds or burger king add beef flavoring to their fries, hence what makes them taste so good...

so, as deceiving as 'french fries' alone may seem, DON'T reach for them, they're not truly vegetarian. :]

Answer 11

Cheese and egg buiscuts at tim hortons or mcdonalds. broccoli soup at tim hortons. Pancakes at mcdonalds .. fries, every fast food chain .. i don't eat meat and i dont support KFC OR taco bell since they have the nerve to serve GRADE D meat.

Good luck.
