Finding delicious vegetarian entrées when dining out is now a snap, and we salute those restaurants that go the extra mile to accommodate vegetarians, semi-vegetarians, and active meat-reducers who number in the tens of millions.
America’s Choice: Most Widely Available Veggie Burger
Burger King BK Veggie™ Burger
 11,200+ locations worldwide
The only nonvegan product to receive a Golden Bun, the BK Veggie™ is the most widely available vegetarian entrée on the planet. A fast and easy choice for non-vegan diners on the go, kudos go to BK for offering its patrons this healthy alternative to the chicken- and beef-based items on its menu. Many other restaurants have rolled out veggie burgers in recent years, but the BK Veggie™ remains a trailblazer.
Best Veggie Burger in a Restaurant Chain
 1. Johnny Rockets Streamliner
170 locations nationwide
Who doesn’t love Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, and the Big Bopper? Add to that a singing staff, twirling straws, ketchup poured out in a happy face, and free nickels to choose your own musical backdrop from the jukeboxes on every table, and who needs food? OK—we all need food, and the hands-down winner for the best chain veggie burger is Johnny Rockets’ Streamliner, which even our meat-eating judges thought was the best burger on the restaurant’s menu—veggie or not. If you have a meat-eater you want to convert, Johnny Rockets is the place to go for what is quite possibly the meatiest faux burger ever!
 2. Ruby Tuesday Veggie Burger and Mama Mia Burger
805 locations nationwide
To the joy of the staff at PETA’s Washington, D.C., office, which sits directly across the street from a Ruby Tuesday’s, this chain’s vegan veggie burger is back. Couple the burger with Ruby Tuesday’s stellar French fries and second-to-none salad bar for a meal that will keep you coming back for more.
3. Chili’s Black Bean Burger (not vegan)
 975 locations nationwide
With a wonderful mix of spices and a crispy texture, Chili’s Black Bean Burger makes for a mouth-watering meal, especially when served with guacamole.
See the Best of the Rest.
