Whether you call it Chick’n, Chik’n or ChickUn, vegan chicken sandwiches are a staple item on the menu at many of St. Louis’ plant-based restaurants. Below are some of our favorites.
For those who haven’t been to Station No. 3 yet, everything on the menu is vegan except for a couple of flexitarian options. However, if you just stopped in and ordered something, you’d never know the dish was vegan. The restaurant has indulgent comfort food down to a science – this is the kind of fare we all treat ourselves to from time to time. You don’t have to be vegan to eat here as everything tastes great, and the plant-based aspect is an added bonus. Take the crispy chick’n sandwich for instance – the simply seasoned and house-battered chick’n portion is fried and topped with mayonnaise, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes and onions. it’s the classic chicken sandwich – just plant-based and extremely tasty.
