III Forks Steakhouse: What’s Vegetarian Editorial Review

III Forks Steakhouse is a Texas steakhouse that labels the few vegetarian and vegan dishes it makes, and the list is short. Four dishes on the August 2026 dinner menu carry a mark: one vegetarian starter, one vegetarian burger, and two vegan entrees. A vegetarian can eat dinner here, at steakhouse prices. This profile uses the Frisco restaurant at 1303 Legacy Drive as its example, and the brand also runs restaurants in Addison, Austin, and Jacksonville, Florida.

Start with the Spinach & Artichoke Dip ($24), marked vegetarian. It’s the only vegetarian dish in the Beginnings section. Salads cost $16 each: the III Forks Salad (toasted pecans, blue cheese, Granny Smith apples, and maple pecan vinaigrette), the Wedge, and the Caesar. None carries a mark, so ask about dressings and toppings before you order. French Onion Soup ($14) goes unmarked as well, and the menu doesn’t name its broth.

Two entrees carry a vegan mark. Roasted Garlic Bucatini Primavera ($28) tosses heirloom cherry tomatoes, roasted baby carrots, asparagus, portobello mushrooms, and fire-roasted red peppers with the pasta. Charred Cauliflower Steak ($32) sits in the Seafood & Specialities section with no other description. Both let vegans eat a full course, which most steakhouses don’t offer. If you eat dairy and want a sandwich, order the Crispy Veggie Burger ($22). III Forks marks it vegetarian. You get a lentil cake with lettuce, red onion, and pickle, plus fries.

Build a meal from the sides if the entrees don’t appeal. Mashed Potatoes ($14), Sautéed Spinach ($13), Sautéed Mushrooms ($15), Fried Brussels Sprouts ($16), Seasonal Vegetables ($16), Fresh Asparagus ($17), and Off-the-Cob Cream Corn ($15) all fall under Sides. None carries a mark, so ask your server how the cooks make each one. Lobster Mac & Cheese ($28) and Six Cheese Potatoes ($18) are the heavier choices.

Skip the rest. Beef, seafood, pork, and chicken fill nearly every other line, from the Filet Mignon and the Tomahawk Ribeye to the Chilean Sea Bass and the Roasted Chicken. Truffled Mushroom Burger ($28) sounds meatless, but it’s a beef burger topped with portobello mushrooms and King’s Butter.

Plan on a shared kitchen. A steakhouse grills prime beef all night, and the menu asks guests to take food allergy concerns to the manager before ordering. I found no published cross-contact policy for vegetarians. Tell your server you eat no meat, and ask how the cooks handle your dish.

Frisco opens Monday through Saturday from 4:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Bar service starts at 3 p.m. daily. Call (972) 267-1776. You can reserve through OpenTable or the III Forks reservation page, order online through Toast, or ask about private dining, since two private rooms can open into one large room. Expect a special-occasion check. Dinner entrees run from $22 for the veggie burger to well over $100 for the large steaks.

Order the Spinach & Artichoke Dip to start and the Bucatini Primavera for dinner, then add the Fried Brussels Sprouts to share.
