The Playhouse // Swillburger

Great place for a burger, gluten free fried chicken sandwich, an adult bevvie, or a game of pinball

I have celiac disease & had been searching the area for new gluten free restaurants to try out. I came across swillburger and while the menu seemed limited, I was thrilled to see they could make anything on it gluten free, and they had arcade games! Plus the prices?!?! Especially for gluten free?! Beyond insane. When I got there, I started my to explain that I have celiac and was quickly reassured by the owner that I'd be in good hands, that she herself is gluten free for other reasons but understands the complexity of cross contact with celiac. (They also own Pizza Wizard too, and while it states they can't guarantee 100% free of cross contact, they are extremely educated and well informed on how to handle food for those with celiac) Swillburger's GF buns are better than their normal buns (per my non-gluten free partners comparison), so if you know GF bread...you know that's a HUGE statement to make lol. Their chicken sandwich is honestly the best fried chicken sandwich I've ever had, my non-gf father along with my partner also agree. The only downside I've encountered was the noise level, but that's a personal issue I suppose. I have a hard time hearing people talk and the music can be very loud and overstimulating, especially on busier nights. So even if I don't stay for the ambiance...it's easily one of my go-to spots for guaranteed safe, absolutely delicious and extremely affordable meals. I <3 you, swillburger

This is a great place to go after a day at the Strong Museum. They seem to take their arcade seriously and have a great bar. The burger joint has a dedicated gluten free fryer, which meant my partner with celiac could get fried food stress free. I can't recommend this place enough.
