Is The Cheesecake Factory Veggie Burger Vegan?
The Cheesecake Factory Veggie Burger contains wheat and gluten inside the patty itself (from farro grain), plus milk and egg in the cheese, special sauce, and brioche bun. While milk and egg can be removed for a 100% vegan meal, wheat cannot be removed.
Farro is an ancient hulled wheat species blended directly into the veggie patty. Even on a gluten-free bun or lettuce wrap, the Veggie Burger patty contains gluten.

Cheesecake Factory Veggie Burger FAQs
Direct answers covering the scratch brown rice, farro, and black bean patty recipe, 100% vegan ordering modifications, and gluten status.
01 What is the Cheesecake Factory Veggie Burger made of? ▼
The Cheesecake Factory Veggie Burger ($17.95) features a scratch-made whole-food patty crafted in-house from cooked brown rice, farro grain, roasted mushrooms, black beans, rolled oats, onions, and culinary spices—rather than an ultra-processed soy isolate patty.
On the Glamburgers menu, it arrives topped with melted cheese, fresh sliced Hass avocado, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles, and signature special sauce on a toasted brioche bun.
02 Is the Cheesecake Factory Veggie Burger vegan? ▼
No, as served by default, the Veggie Burger is vegetarian rather than vegan because it includes melted cheese, egg-based special sauce, and a butter-toasted egg brioche bun.
However, the housemade brown rice, farro, mushroom, and black bean patty itself is 100% vegan (containing zero egg or dairy binders). Guests can make the entire burger 100% vegan and dairy-free by requesting it wrapped in crisp iceberg lettuce (or on an unbuttered multigrain roll) with no cheese and no special sauce—.
03 Is the Cheesecake Factory Veggie Burger gluten-free? ▼
No, the Cheesecake Factory Veggie Burger is not gluten-free and cannot be made gluten-free even if you swap the bun.
Because the scratch-made veggie patty itself contains farro (an ancient wheat grain) as a core structural ingredient alongside brown rice and black beans, guests with celiac disease or wheat allergies should choose a 100% beef or turkey burger on a dedicated gluten-free bun instead.
04 Does the Cheesecake Factory still serve the Impossible Burger? ▼
While select regional dining rooms previously listed the Impossible Burger as a separate plant-based substitute, the housemade Veggie Burger ($17.95) crafted from brown rice, farro, roasted mushrooms, and black beans serves as the permanent signature plant-based burger across all Cheesecake Factory menus in 2026.
05 What is the lowest-priced burger at The Cheesecake Factory? ▼
At $17.95 (which includes a full side of skin-on French fries or a mixed green salad), the Veggie Burger is the #1 most affordable burger on The Cheesecake Factory Glamburgers menu, followed by the $18.50 Classic Burger.
