The Best Vegan Restaurant Chains that are Found Everywhere
Vegan Restaurants are on the rise. They have multiplied in numbers and influence. Below I listed the Best Vegan Restaurants that have become big franchises.
Veggie Grill
I would like to say that Veggie Grill is one of the biggest Vegan Franchises ever. It has locations in the states of California, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon, and Washington. This might not sound like a big deal when you think of a “franchise.” But for a restaurant chain completely devoted to plant-based items, this is incredible!
Veggie Grill also offers some of the most extensive menus ever. It offers so much! You can take a bite out of a burger, feast on a Kimchi Beef Bowl, or share some nachos. There is something for everyone from this wonderful place.
The craziest thing on the menu is probably the tuna salad sandwich. It uses a mock tuna that is meant to imitate the real thing. It is rare to see a vegan tuna sandwich nowadays.
Native Foods
Native Foods offers a great selection of vegan classics. People can feast on delicious nachos, gastropub burgers, buddha bowls, and other favorites. One burger I tried was the popping jalapeno burger. This is a sandwich that has a beefless patty, vegan pepper jack, and actual jalapeno poppers served in a pretzel bun. It was incredibly delicious yet super spicy. I absolutely loved it.
Native Foods has locations in Chicago, Colorado, Oregon, and California. Another great catalog of locations! My only thing with this is that I wish these places had other states covered. This is still a great sign that Fast Food chains can survive as plant-based eateries.
What’s exciting about Native Foods is its seasonal items. For Thanksgiving, you can order a vegan turkey to make at home. You can order it frozen and simply heat it in the oven for a few minutes. Native will help you make a successful vegan thanksgiving.
Loving Hut
If you thought these last two chains on this list were big, Loving Hut is probably the biggest vegan chain in the world. Are you ready for this? Loving Hut serves 35+ countries worldwide. That’s right! 35 Countries.
Loving Hut was founded by Ching Hai, a Vietnamese spiritual leader who gained 2 million followers worldwide. She has had a massive influence around the globe! With her fame, she started her restaurant chain that has guaranteed success in sales. This is due to the previous influence and devout followers.
Loving Hut offers an amazing array of Thai food, Viet Food, and other Asian cuisines. Keep in mind that menu options might differ per location since they work independently. I went to the location in Orlando and tried this incredible Thai Pho with Vegan Ham. I was impressed by how flavorful the broth was. The ham was also filling and hearty.
Mas Veggies Taqueria
Many people may want to label this as the Chipotle of Vegan Restaurants. I would not disagree. Mas Veggies offers the best Mexican-inspired food. There are tacos, burritos, nachos, and bowls available to feast. There are authentic tacos that you can try such as the carnitas, picadillo, and even fish tacos. You can also get the Tex-Mex stuff like the Tejano nachos and loaded burritos.
Mas Veggies offers a great alternative for people who are tired of burgers, fries, and other vegan typicals. I was so glad to find a place like this because I love Mexican-style eateries. Ma Veggies offers an experience similar to that.
Mas Veggies has a great catalog of locations. There are Vegan restaurants in New York, California, Massachusetts, Washington, and Oregon. I am sure they will add more locations soon since they are expanding soon.
Plant Power Fast Food
I think Plant Power has the power to give the best vegan comfort food. First of all, I can say that this vegan restaurant is the first legit fast-food chain that is completely plant-based. People might challenge the label of Fast Food on Plant Power. I am proud to say that Plant Power has a drive-thru, automatically giving this place the fast food certificate.
Plant Power offers comfort food classics: burgers, fries, milkshakes, etc. One highlight from the menu is the big Zac. That is correct! There is a vegan version of the Big Mac offered in this establishment. What is even more amazing are the reviews. People have said that this is the closest they have ever been to a regular fast food experience. Plant Power definitely hit the nail in the head in this competition.
Plant Power is an incredible first step into making vegan food accessible. Although it only has locations in Southern California at the moment, imagine having more around the U.S. This will make revolutionize the quick-service industry and give us good wholesome food for the general public. Plus, we get to cut down on emissions caused by animal products.
Cinnaholic
We have heard of Vegan Mcdonalds, Vegan Chipotle, and other vegan casual eateries. Has anyone asked what is missing? Perhaps a dessert place? Well.. get ready for the Vegan Cinnabon star named Cinnaholic.
Cinnaholic offers the best vegan cinnamon rolls ever. You can get a classic cinnamon roll or a wacky one that will blow your mind away. There is a cookie monster, campfire s’more, caramel apple pie, and berries and cream version you can buy. Cinnaholic will absolutely make you go crazy for all of these cinnamon rolls. Did I also mention they are 100% vegan?
Beyond the incredible menu options, Cinnaholic has 50+ locations around the US and Canada. You would not be missing out on incredible cinnamon rolls when you are near a Cinnaholic location. If Cinnaholic and the other chains have made it this big already, I suspect we’d see even more vegan places in the next few years. My hope is that I will get to see veggie eateries even in rural places. Basically to have the same impact as Mcdonald’s or Burger King.
