Burgers are good. You probably know this whether you partake in eating red meat or you’re a diehard vegan.
That being said, some burger joints are better than others according to those who lean toward a more vegan lifestyle.
Worst Burger Joints For Vegans
PETA has assigned grades to several fast food restaurants throughout the U.S. and Canada. Let’s first start with the locations that received a D letter grade for their overall friendliness toward vegans.
Sonic Drive-In at night
- Sonic Drive-In
- Culvers
If you’re thinking “wait, those places actually do have vegan and vegetarian options,” you’re not wrong. The website notes both Sonic and Culver’s serve veggie burgers, but they are either not available at all locations or not listed on all menus.
There is a little more company among the burger joints marked with an F letter grade.

- Steak ‘n Shake
- Wendy’s
- Whataburger
Are we surprised by any of the names on this list? I mean, Hardee’s serves something called the Monster Thick Burger.
Unfortunately for one restaurant, an F grade wasn’t the lowest on PETA’s scale. The lowest-rated restaurant was awarded an F- minus
