Queen & Rook Game Cafe

I love coming here with friends to play games. They have a great assortment of board, card, and tabletop games for $5 per person to play. The staff is so friendly and kind. They have a dedicated gluten-free fryer and tons of naturally gf foods and substitutions available. I've had their kimchi burger, fries, nachos with soy chorizo, popcorn, along with alcoholic drinks and milkshakes. Their whole menu is vegetarian and a lot of it can be vegan. Let the staff know when ordering that you need food gluten-free and they will take precautions to avoid any cross contamination. You might need to make a reservation because it can get busy. They also have gender neutral bathrooms. One of my favorite spots in Philly, I highly recommend.

I got this delivered and the staff clearly knows about keeping it gluten free. I asked for the bacon macaroni with gluten free pasta, but they knew to take off the bacon because it’s seitan and made of gluten. I also had soft pretzel dippers which were very good. The vegan cheese here is just okay.

Their menu is vegan and a good portion gluten free. They use tamari instead of soy sauce, and have a dedicated gluten free fryer. Just let them know when you arrive you’re sensitive to cross contamination, and the manager will alert the kitchen to use a new set of knives, utensils, cutting boards, etc.

Found through a vegan app. Highlight rated. Haven’t been to yet due to, but still visit soon.

You must make a reservation. It’s a game cafe so no fine dinning vibes.
