Updated March 2023! Harvey’s is one of the largest fast food restaurant chains in Canada, with locations in every province. They’re well known for grilled burgers and a good selection of toppings. On our last update, Harvey’s allergen guide was a little piece of chaos with some errors. It looks like they have fixed it with a cleaner menu guide on their website. But be warned that there is still an old allergen guide floating around online that isn’t very accurate. And always double check before ordering – you can’t be too careful!
Harvey’s Dairy-Free Menu Guide with Allergen Notes & Vegan Options
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.
Butter Note: It is not standard practice for employees at Harvey’s to butter the buns and bread with dairy butter. But individual locations can take liberties, so make sure no dairy is used on the buns at your location.
Fryer Note: Harvey’s does reportedly use shared fryers for certain items, and they do have at least one fried menu item that contains milk. Check at your location if concerned about potential cross-contamination in the fryer.

Awesome
Did the online app, drove up, grabbed the food and headed home. Food was done exactly right and ate a tasty Vegan meal. They made it easy and their app is the best/easiest one I’ve used yet. Pretty amazing. Also none of their packaging contained any plastic. Awesome. You guys are rockin’ it. Thanks.
