Updated March 2022! When I was a teenager, my dad and I would meet up at Burgerville every week. He’s always been really into health, but loves to enjoy a burger as his weekly treat. And Burgerville was his favorite. Since moving from the Northwest, I haven’t visited this popular chain. But it looks like they’ve been doing some amazing things. Beyond the usual order, they now serve veggie burgers, turkey burgers, truffle fries, and even vegan milkshakes. In fact, they’ve even added plant based, dairy free ice cream sandwiches to their everyday menu! All of the options are outlined in the dairy-free menu guide below.
Burgerville Dairy-Free Menu Guide with Allergen Notes & Vegan Options
We won’t tell if you have dessert first, but you might want to know about their savory items too! Burgerville is known for locally-sourced ingredients and a commitment to sustainability. So it isn’t surprising that their menu boasts several healthier options, including plant-based and dairy-free choices. This menu guide includes dairy-free menu options first, followed by custom order components. Be aware of special order requirements in parentheses () next to the menu items, and see the Heads Up notes to help fill in the blanks.
Other Allergen & Dietary Notes: For vegan options, see the Vegan Menu Guide at the bottom of this post. Also see the Vegan Menu Guide for egg-free options. The fried chicken items are also made without eggs, and the burgers and sandwiches listed can be made egg-free if BBQ sauce or ketchup are subbed or the mayo-based spreads. All of the following items are made without peanuts. Aside from the obvious nut-containing items, all items are made without tree nuts. Some items do contain coconut, like the shakes.

The base soft serve blend for the Bliss Shakes is made with coconut milk and organic cane sugar, and it was created by Coconut Bliss exclusively for Burgerville. The dairy-Free shakes are reportedly made on a dedicated Bliss machine at each participating location, which is separate from the dairy milkshake machine.
