Alaska: Pita Place

There's actually no vegan-only restaurant in Alaska, at the time of writing. So, we've gone for the next best thing. Pita Place is a vegetarian eatery that has vegan options. Fairbanks might not be a place you'd expect to find great falafel, but if you arrive skeptical, you'll leave pleasantly surprised. The menu is small, with falafel plates and pitas as the main items on offer. Like many spots in Alaska, it's closed in the off season, so check the website or socials before heading over.

Phoenix might have the most vegan restaurants in Arizona, but UniQ Burger in Scottsdale takes the (plant-based) cake. Long-time vegans and meat-eaters alike rave about this burger joint. The Chick'n Sandwich is crumbed and fried to perfection, while the Classic Smashed Burger is great if you want something similar to a beef patty. Plus, there are wraps, salads, subs, and loaded fries.

Methodology

To choose the best vegan restaurants in every state, we first looked at Happy Cow, a website that lists vegan restaurants and collects customer reviews. This allowed us to find the most popular restaurants. Where some were neck and neck, we then compared the reviews on Yelp, finding which ones got the better rating. When states had too many restaurants to look at each one individually, we referenced Reddit for recommendations or used our personal experience to decide.

Recommended
