A Royal Win: White Castle Inducts a New Vegan‑Friendly Slider—and It’s Delicious
The power of the crave from compassionate consumers is bringing vegan‑friendly options to White Castle! And how’s this for a royal win: Starting June 15, 2026, every Castle nationwide will offer the Southwest Veggie Slider—a crispy Dr. Praeger’s patty made from six seasoned vegetables, wrapped in a golden brown‑rice coating.
How to Order the New Southwest Veggie Slider Vegan
To keep your Southwest Veggie Slider fully animal-free, simply order it without cheese. White Castle previously reworked its bun recipes to make them entirely vegan—earning the chain a Kind Fast Award from PETA—so the rest of the sandwich is already good to go (although we’d love to see the burger joint bring back the GOOD PLANeT Foods dairy‑free cheese it briefly offered at NY and NJ locations).
What Else Is Vegan at White Castle?
- Crinkle-cut French fries
- Hash Brown Nibblers
- Fountain soda
- Orange juice
- Apple juice
- Signature coffee (plain black)
- Hot tea
While White Castle’s menu could definitely use an update, it’s still beating McDonald’s in one key area: Its fries are vegan. (McDonald’s … can you please stop seasoning your fries with “beef flavor” already?!)
Eat Your Way to More Animal‑Friendly Options
Every time you choose vegan options at fast‑food chains and restaurants, you’re sending a clear message: There’s a growing demand for kind cuisine, and businesses need to meet it. Your choices help spare gentle cows who want to raise their babies, hens who naturally live in rich social hierarchies, and countless other living, feeling individuals who value their lives. This new slider is a great step forward —but we want more.
