Swingers in Hollywood isn’t just a diner—it’s a slice of LA history with a side of sass and really good fries. This place has been serving up late-night eats and early-morning recoveries since the days when indie bands and studio execs shared booths. It’s got that lived-in cool without ever trying too hard: checkerboard floors, jukebox charm, and the low hum of a city that never quite sleeps. The food? Way above the curve for diner fare. Think golden pancakes with just the right chew, fresh arugula tucked into a breakfast burrito, wild-caught tuna melts that taste like someone in the kitchen actually cares. Whether you’re vegan, gluten-free, or just hungover and looking for comfort, they’ve got something legit—and made with better ingredients than you’d expect at 2am on Sunset. What really pulls it all together is the staff. Engaged, sharp, always game for a little banter if you are, or just genuinely attentive if you’re flying solo. They know their regulars, but they’re just as warm to first-timers. Swingers is the kind of place that keeps its edge without losing its heart. A diner that feels like home—if your home had really good huevos rancheros and cooler people hanging around.

Went here on a Thursday for lunch after hiking in Griffith Park. Lots of free parking and no wait to order. Pizza done in just over 10 minutes. Many free tables to sit at. Gluten free Hawaiian was fantastic. Gluten free crust only comes in medium. Soda with endless refills.

Ivey Hardin

The gluten free pizza dough was insanely good. A must try for pizza night!

Natalie Hampton

Labeled menu, knowledgeable staff, really yummy food!

Mary Cellini

Always delicious and plenty of vegan/gluten free options, so I am here a lot. Great staff and music. My visit is always a treat.

Charlotte Thompson

Gluten free waffles aren’t coeliac safe, not cooked on a separate fryer

Julieta Rodriguez Groves

The best? They have a gluten-free menu. But I don't know how to find it in the main menu, you have to scan a QR or ask the waiter.

Trey Patterson

Server natalie j was a gem! She was very careful with my Celiac disease. The food was great, the short rib was a little over done, however, the beverages were superb, and I had a great time overall!

Danielle Drummond

Such a cool place! The server was doing it all and doing such an amazing job! They had gluten free options, which was a plus for us! The food was amazing and a great price!

Ana Carla

The food is delicious, and place itself is awesome, they have board games that we can play while waiting for the food, and they also have gluten free food.

Gemma Rose Brandt

Amazing gluten free options, especially for those with a sweet tooth. Best GF doughnut I've ever eaten. Great spot for something to eat and drink after a hike.

Elen Carpenter

Such a unique idea executed perfectly. Vegetarian and gluten free options available. Atmosphere is clean and full of fabulous satire. Parking is limited, as well as seating.

Cheryl Lindsey

We were very happy with the food, service and welcoming atmosphere. Our server Chahat was accommodating, flexible, kind and quick! Their prices are very reasonable and there are plenty of vegan and gluten free options. We were there for a birthday party and everyone had a great time. Thank you Electric Karma - we'll be back.

Andrew Grone

Anything but a safe restaurant - got terribly sick here last year and after many discussions with management, we realized the culprit was an item they marked and advertised as gluten free that straight up had real soy sauce in it. They were clueless as to what had or didn’t have gluten - and yet kept the item marked as gluten free for weeks until I finally got them to change it. Strong recommendation for celiacs to avoid after management changed years back. Eat at your own risk!

Leany Le Feu

A delightful LA local spot. Perfect for brunch with friends or an afternoon date. They serve alcohol here and have dairy free/ gluten free options.

Jake Z. Chang

We recently dined at this restaurant and were thoroughly impressed with the attentive service, especially regarding my daughter's gluten allergy. The staff took extra care to ensure her dietary needs were met. Additionally, I had forgotten to request no cheese in my tacos, but despite the food already being prepared, the restaurant graciously remade my order at no extra cost. The food was excellent, and the ambiance of the restaurant was both pleasant and lively. Highly recommend for both their outstanding service and delightful dining experience!

Natalie Hampton

Great gluten free options, knowledgeable staff, and even a selection of gluten free baked goods! The mochi cookies are AMAZING!

Shuccle

Exceptional gluten free celiac safe pizza, in LA !!! I have celiac disease, so finding safe joints to enjoy a warm pie is always tough. I called here ahead of time to ask if they can cater to someone with celiac, and the manager who picked up the phone (his name is Fred) was so nice! Absolutely outstanding customer service. I felt right at home. I'll be completely honest though, as good as the pizza was, I've had tastier GF pizza in LA. However, I'll be darned to ever find customer service as amazing as I did tonight, so I'm not even complaining. 5-stars all-around!

Rose Metcalf

The menu is extensive! I love the Spinach Benedict and the strawberry french toast (both made gluten free) with their mimosa. This is the perfect weekend/ post-hike treat.

Sarah Veggie

Was visiting from out of state and had this door dashed all 4 days I was there! So good! I have celiac and a wheat allergy. They have a clean kitchen and are allergy friendly. The gluten free bun option makes the iconic and big zac burgers a great gf option. The iconic fries are a favorite as well

Hanna Hondzo

I can’t speak to cross contamination but the fries were good and they had the best gf burger bun I’ve ever had in my life! They also had 2 gf dessert options.

Mya Jazel

I took too long to pick up my order so they remade it for me because it got cold! They were super fast and polite. The food was soooo good and apparently completely gluten free which is amazing because I can never eat anywhere so I greatly appreciate the inclusivity! 10/10. Plus I accidentally went to the wrong one originally and all the workers were super helpful in pointing me in the right direction and informing me!

Kelsey Hays

Food was delicious, gluten free bun was great!

Iman Jebara

Three words: GLUTEN FREE WAFFLES!!!!!!!!!

Carol Rose

Beautiful outdoor area. Gluten free options as well. Tasty drink. Anthony was our server and he actually made us feel… at Home!

Brittany

The food is so good and they can accommodate gluten free diets.

Charlie Ratcliffe

Delicious. Gluten free bun a huge win too.

Eva Komarkova

I didn't know that I have such a good restaurant right behind the corner! It's great because you can come here as vegan or non vegan together and both have great meal. The vegan menu is so good, so you can eat regular diet and order it without disappointment! My not vegan husband loved the vegan Korean chicken taco. I loved the vegan Baja fish taco so much. The cauliflower taco was also surprisingly full of flavor, I loved the cabbage and tahini dressing. The side of refried beans was fresh and delicious. My husband loved his mole enchilada, and we both loved the vegan Caesar salad. In the end we got also a yummy vegan dessert, which was gluten-free bread pudding with coffee ice cream! It was all so good! We are coming back! The staff is extraordinary nice and attentive. To everyone who is reading these reviews about high prices, I am adding a picture of our receipt...

Jessica Knowlden

Obsessed with this spot. The energy and atmosphere are super cool, a hidden gem for sure. Staff was incredibly kind and our server was the best, knowledgeable about all the items on the menu, and also helped with gluten free dishes. We tried the red salsa, yellowtail ceviche, scallop dish, Quesadillas and flautas which were all delicious. Drinks were also really tasty. Would love to come back soon! Thank you 😊

Miranda Mondeaux

This place is so cute! Everything is vegan and so yummy! I also don’t eat gluten. Thankfully, it was so easy to make some things gluten free :) The rolls were super fresh and everything was flavorful! We loved our time here.

Cheyenne Padgett

I walked from his coffee and donut shop to his taco cantina after noticing the coffee spot on my way to an interview and had to u-turn following it to actually visit. Both locations were great. The server was very friendly and helped me situate myself somewhere else when I needed to charge my phone. They have gluten-free and dairy-free options in one, I got the pork tacos. I’m usually not a big fan of pork, probably should have went with chicken. However, the hot sauce was amazing. I bought a bottle. I wish I could afford to eat like that all the time.

Amy Jewell

Our group of 7 stopped in here after a grueling day at Universal. The wait for a table took a long time, but we were patient and boy was it worth it! 3 hungry kids and 4 exhausted adults were all pleased as punch with our meals. My husband and I are gluten intolerant and the server was very confident in knowing what would work to be GF. The roasted balsamic Brussels sprouts were delicious! They have GF penne pasta as a substitute for most of their dishes and the chicken picatta I had was flavorful and plentiful!! Everyone cleared their plates and were more than happy. Shout out to our hard working server - a Monday crew during a holiday rush time caused delays but he was attentive despite serving 4 big groups.

Natalie Hampton

Tons of gluten free options (almost the entire menu), very knowledgeable staff, and really yummy food!

Brittany Holmes

Amazing gluten free pizza. Great hole in the wall personal chill atmosphere. Great helpful staff. If I lived here I'd come all the time

Benjamin Pedersen

Fantastisk hyggeligt sted! Maden er vegansk og de kan tage hensyn til gluten allergi. Maden var frisk og lækker.

Tzvika Graetz

Wow. What an amazing experience we had at Araya's Place - Thai Vegan Restaurant. The best Vegan food ever I had. Tasty, healthy and very clean. The Host was so gracious and the food came quickly. I would highly recommend it . I came with two teenagers that were so happy and recommend it as well. And so much on the menu is Gluten Free that was amazing !!! If you keep Kosher like we do, it is an excellent option, although they don't (yet) have Hashgacha.

I had a pepperoni burrata and mike's hot honey slice, plain cheese slice and the squared slice I dont remember. Both pepperoni and cheese were very tasty. Crust had a nice bite and was soft at the same time. Very flavorful, the cheese, tomato sauce and crust ratio was great. (I am a fan of thin pizza.) The honey and pepperoni combo was good, didn't really get the hot part. The squared slice, I wasnt able to eat right away so can't say, but its more of a deep dish style, very thick and crunchy crust. Dark bits are crispy cheese. Onion, prosciutto and garlic. Opted for slices since oredering a pie is approx 1hr wait time. Glutenfree options. Parking lot is small. Line to order moves quickly. Customer service is great! Communication is concise. Definitely will return for a whole pie.

Nandi Cohen-Aponte

Incredible sushi and very accommodating for gluten free!!!

Daniel Ayd

Cute and vintage on the inside, too nice though to not sit on the sidewalk patio. Prices are steeper than indicated--$$-$$$. So much gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan selection though, and safely labeled. As in they seem to really understand cross contamination and not joist call something GF even though it then goes in the frier. Anyway, all day breakfast with both the enchiladas and juevos rancheros we're truly out of this world. The sauces, the fresh guac, cilantro, came out hot and so visually appealing I didn't stop to take a photo. Shakes were unbelievably creamy. Kids had what looked like the best burgers of their lives on fresh toasted rolls, thick melty cheese, and lacy crisp edges on the beef. The onion rings looked, sounded, and smelled amazing but I didn't eat one... gluten. Would absolutely come back, highly recommended!

P. INTUITIVE

Always love this Place... i just dont like the Limited Choices for Vegans, and Pescatarian folks like Me... Also those with Celiac and Dairy intolerance; like Me. Can you Bring Plant based Meats and Cheeses; WITHOUT SOY... Please and Thanks!

Good gluten free options you can get pancakes or sub for gluten free toast. We had the breakfast sandwich and it was delicious!

Jessica Hegarty

The best gluten free pizza I have ever had. The bartender was very knowledgeable and took my gluten allergy seriously which was a reassuring experience.

Kim Bulwer

We ordered a Gluten Free pizza. GF comes in medium only. This would be one of the best GF pizza we have had. We had the Mexican one which left us a little tingly. So yummy. Come to Wellington NZ & open a store here.

Alexa Andraos

Delicious! They had a lot of gluten free options which was great. The gluten free orange chicken is amazing! Will definitely be back

Tricia Pain

This Veggie Grill location is absolutely gorgeous inside and out! The staff is so friendly and helpful and the seating layout is so cute!The outdoor patio area is a perfect way to enjoy the city and the beautiful LA weather.

You’ll definitely be seeing me at this location often!!💚💖
