Best Denny’s Vegan Food Options
⚠ Fried and grilled options are cooked in the same oil and equipment as menu items that contain non-vegan ingredients. You can decide if these fit your dietary preferences.
- Whole Grain Rice – Fibrous option to fill up your tummy easily! 🍚
- Seasonal Fruit – Healthy to snack on, fresh fruits are always a great option.
- English Muffin – Top with avocado slices and you’ve got a delicious vegan treat.
