What is Carl's Jr Veg It?

A hack that removes or substitutes the meat to make a burger vegetarian.

How do I order Veg It?

Order a burger and ask to "Veg It" — no meat, or a plant-based patty if available.

Does Veg It cost less?

Often yes, since you're removing the patty; a plant-based patty may be priced differently.

Not by default — check the cheese, sauces and preparation for a strict vegan meal.

Can I get a plant-based patty?

Only where the location stocks one; otherwise it's a no-meat build with veggies and cheese.

Is it on the official menu?

It stems from Carl's Jr's alternative-menu messaging but isn't a fixed official product.

Carl's Jr Veg It — Secret Menu Hack

Carl's Jr Veg It is the hack for vegetarians who still want the charbroiled-burger experience: you remove the meat entirely (or substitute it) so the sandwich becomes a vegetarian build of bun, cheese, and all the fresh toppings. It's a flexible modification rather than a fixed product, and Carl's Jr Veg It was part of the brand's lighter/alternative-menu messaging over the years, so many crews recognize the request.

To order Carl's Jr Veg It, choose a burger and ask to "Veg It" — that is, hold the patty and load up on the bun, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles and sauces. Where a plant-based patty is available, you can substitute that instead of just removing the meat. Because you're removing (not adding) the main ingredient, it's typically cheaper than the full burger or priced at whatever the location charges for a no-meat build.

How to order Veg It

Pick your burger and say "Veg It, please — no meat," and specify whether you'd like a plant-based patty (if the location stocks one) or just extra veggies and cheese. Vegetarians avoiding certain ingredients should confirm the cheese and sauces, and those with stricter diets should ask about how items are prepared and whether shared cooking surfaces are a concern.

Is Veg It worth it?

For vegetarians, it's a genuinely useful way to eat at Carl's Jr — you keep the fresh toppings and cheese and drop the meat, often for less than the full burger. It's not a certified vegan build unless you also adjust cheese and sauces, so tailor it to your needs. Pair it with Low Carb It for a lettuce-wrapped veggie option.
