Updated 2019! White Castle is a hamburger restaurant chain with locations dotted all over the Midwestern and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. They provide full ingredients and allergen disclaimers for each component on their menu. This allows you to “build your own” from their simple menu. Basically, you can enjoy many of their burgers without cheese but with one of their many dairy-free sauces.
No Dairy (Milk-Based) Ingredients (see disclaimer below)
- Sliders – Veggie (with dairy-free honey mustard), Impossible (no cheese)

Other Allergen Notes: Their traditional bun contains wheat, but not egg. So the veggie patty (contains soy) and newer Impossible slider (no cheese) might offer a good option for vegan diners on the go. They do cook their meats and meat alternatives with buttery flavored oil, but they do not call out any milk ingredients in it. It is a soy-based oil.
