Ever since the news broke that Burger King would be rolling the Impossible Burger out to all 7,200 of its locations nationwide, it’s like everyone in America has caught Impossible fever.
And in addition to BK, there are thousands of restaurants across the U.S. that are serving the Impossible Burger and/or the Beyond Burger as we speak.
So whether you’re Team Impossible or Team Beyond (or both, because YUM), there are all kinds of options!
Here’s the ultimate guide to all the restaurant chains across the U.S. that are grilling up plant-based burger perfection:

Side note: Eating just one Impossible Burger (instead of beef) saves the equivalent of 75 sq ft of land, 1 half tub of bathwater, and 18 miles of emission in a car.
And, one Beyond Burger generates 90 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions, requires 46 percent less energy, has more than 99 percent less impact on water scarcity, and 93 percent less impact on land use than a ¼ pound patty of beef.

You should update your Bareburger info!
their menu is now 50% vegan and the Impossible has several vegan preparations with vegan mayo even!
Done! :)
Thanks for this great list. Just tasted my first Impossible Burger and must say it had all the pluses of the burgers I used to like before I got smart, minus any sense of gore. It's now on the menu at Earl's Kitchen. Though they have scores of restaurants by the same name in Canada, they have ten restaurants in the U.S. Only important detail: Are all these impossible burgers being served with vegan mayo? I suspect not, though Earl's Kitchen assured me theirs was all plant-based, as stated on the menu.
Thanks so much for the tip Victoria! I'll add Earl's to the list. :) Most of the chains on this list do not have vegan mayo (unless otherwise specified) so generally you have to order without to make it vegan!
How do these chains cook the IB? On the same grill as meat or separate grills? Or nuke them in a microwave?
You'd have to check with them individually! I'd doubt they ever use a microwave, but they probably vary as far as the grill goes.
