Have you decided to enjoy a life of veganism? Not sure where you can enjoy a meal with your friends and family who don't share the same values? Don't worry. We have a list of vegan options at popular chain restaurants you can enjoy guilt-free.

Olive Garden

Choose salad (with oil and vinegar instead of "Italian" dressing). Enjoy bruschetta (request it with no cheese). You got breadsticks (which have a garlic topping made with soy, not butter). Gobble up minestrone soup, and you got all the pasta and marinara sauce you can fit down your gullet. Request some veggies to top it with, and you have a vegan party.

The Cheesecake Factory

There are plenty of vegan options spread throughout the giant menu, including the Vegan Cobb Salad. Although there are no vegan cheesecake options offered (yet), you have to admit, your diet will thank you.

Freebirds World Burrito

There are more than 70 locations across the U.S., so people all over the country can enjoy this chain's yummy vegan burritos, bowls, and salads. The restaurant has also teamed up with Beyond Meat to offer Beyond Beef Crumbles in the Feisty flavor, which you can add to any Freebirds order. All the tortillas are vegan, and the only things you need to avoid are the queso, ranch dressing, the BBQ sauce (which contains fish, for some reason), cheese, sour cream, and (of course) meat.

Mellow Mushroom

Pizza chain Mellow Mushroom offers a vegan menu that includes tofu, tempeh, and Follow Your Heart cheese. Vegan sauces include red sauce, olive oil, sweet chili glaze, black truffle oil, and jerk sauce. With the meat-free options, vegan cheeses, and all the veggie toppings you could ever want, this pizza joint definitely delivers. It also offers hoagies (the French and multigrain pieces of bread are vegan) and salads (the balsamic and herb vinaigrettes are vegan). Swap out all the nonvegan meats, cheeses, and sauces for their superior vegan substitutes.

P.F. Chang's

In addition to P.F. Chang's already long list of vegan options, such as the Harvest Thai Curry, Coconut Curry Vegetables, and Ma Po Tofu, everything on its menu can be made with tofu instead of meat. The many options for vegan appetizers and entrées will leave you spoiled and satisfied.

Buca di Beppo

It might seem vegans don’t have much business being here. However, there's actually quite a bit to choose from. Start out with an appetizer like the bruschetta—hold the cheese. Your main course options include the pasta puttanesca (penne pasta with tomatoes, onions, green peppers, black Kalamata olives, green olives, and capers), which must be specially requested because it's not on the menu. Or create your own using either marinara sauce or garlic olive oil. Add veggie toppings as well as crushed pepper and/or poached garlic. You can also get a mixed green salad—substitute oil and vinegar for the Italian dressing. Other vegan sides include steamed green beans and broccoli.
