Serves meat, vegan options available. Counter service fast food restaurant with vegetarian veggie burger that can easily be made vegan when removing cheese and sauce. Removed January 2024: Limited vegan options.
This burger chain place had no vegan burgers listed on its menu. They do offer a vegetarian burger with cheese. A HappyCow listing for another location of Shake Shack says "a veggie burger can be made vegan by subbing gluten-free bun or lettuce wrap and omitting bbq sauce, crispy onions and cheese"--but then what are you left with? Furthermore, the staff here is overworked as it is, so good luck in getting a complicated order straight.
Vegetarians might not mind this place, providing that they're not bothered by the cross-contamination, since the burgers are clearly cooked on the same grill as the meat burgers. In all, this is the type of place that I would avoid even if I were very hungry and stuck at an airport.

no vegan burger - Edit
they are offering a portobello burger but it’s stuffed with cheese and they can’t take it out. JFK  is zero out of 10 for vegan food.

A lot of veggie burgers have eggs or egg whites in them, I wouldn’t trust a place like this to have a vegan veggie burger…
