Best Vegan Dishes at Yard House
Spicy Za’atar Hummus
This is the most-searched vegan item on the menu, and it’s officially vegan as served. The hummus is topped with crispy chickpeas, salsa macha, radish and olive oil, with za’atar-crusted pita on the side. No swaps are needed, but it does go through a shared fryer.
Mediterranean Veggie Burger
The veggie burger comes with tomato, onion, arugula, spicy tahini sauce and a side salad with balsamic vinaigrette. To make it vegan, ask for it on a gluten-free bun, because the standard bun isn’t on the vegan list. It’s the heartiest vegan main at about 980 calories.
Gardein Wings and Tenders
Yard House’s Gardein plant-based wings are a good choice for a group. The Whiskey Black Pepper and Lemon Pepper wings are vegan as served. The Buffalo and BBQ wings only need you to skip the ranch. The Gardein Chicken Tenders need no ranch and no maple Dijon.
Gardein Chicken Rice Bowl and Orange Chicken
The Gardein Chicken Rice Bowl is one of the few mains that’s vegan with no changes at all. The Gardein Orange Chicken is also an option, but swap the buttered jasmine rice for spicy rice.
Vegan Appetizers and Sides
Both edamame dishes are vegan as is and stay out of the fryer. Steamed Edamame is the lightest at 180 calories, while the Hot & Spicy Edamame is stir-fried with chili and garlic. The Jumbo Bavarian Pretzel works if you skip the beer cheese sauce, and Truffle Fries are vegan without the Parmesan.
For sides, choose Pinto Beans, Spicy Rice or French Fries. Avoid the jasmine rice, because Yard House prepares it with butter.
What About the Drinks?
The zero-proof drinks aren’t on Yard House’s official vegan list. The Scorched Melon, Hibiscus Mule’ish, Buzz-Free Mojito and Sparkling Refreshers have no obvious animal ingredients in their listed recipes, but ask your server before ordering if you want to be certain.
How to Order Vegan at Yard House
- Tell your server you’re ordering from the vegan menu so the right swaps get made
- Skip the cheese, ranch, aioli and beer cheese sauce, the most common non-vegan add-ons
- Ask for a gluten-free bun on any sandwich or burger
- Swap buttered jasmine rice for spicy rice
- Items marked shared fryer are cooked in the same oil as non-vegan foods
Yard House doesn’t have a dedicated vegan kitchen, so anyone with a severe dairy or egg allergy should ask for allergen information at the restaurant.
