The waffles, chicken, and fried fish were all excellent. Will definitely go back next time in SF.

All sweet (mochi) waffles are GF and vegan. I did a 'build your own waffle' to avoid dairy-based toppings. Got a chocolate waffle (it's 2 quarters of a round belgian-style waffle) with peanut butter, banana, raspberries, and coconut-based whipped cream on top. So yummy!!! Maybe a bit too much sugar for my current diet; next time, I would drop the coconut whipped cream. Also got a decaf almond-milk latte. Mmmmmmm. The place was packed with groups (including some little kids, but mostly college-aged adults) happily playing games! If you are going here to eat AND play games, there's a $7/day charge for gaming in addition to the food prices. Oh, and they want us to bus our own tables, but it's not obvious. All the locals know it. :) The staff were friendly and helpful, despite being busy!

Food is safe to eat. But the service here is absolutely abysmal. If I didn’t need to eat and went out of my way to get to this place I would have turned around as soon as I dealt with the front staff. So rude I can’t even.

Although there are some items that contain gluten (beer) or were processed in a facility (some toppings), the kitchen is 100% GF. Glutenous or cross contaminated items are prepared separately and can be excluded from the dishes. The chicken bites were good, but not as exciting as I expected. The mouse trap was yummy, and the plain mochi waffle with strawberries and coconut whipped cream was so good, and so rich. Fellow celiacs tested various dishes with Nima and got all smiles!

Great experience in a fun setting. The food was tasty and the menu is nearly entirely gluten free. The staff is knowledgeable about celiac. I had the ‘reef’ savoury waffle sandwich, with cod fish filets, coleslaw and pickles, with a side of waffle fries. The restaurant has a dedicated GF fryer. Everything was delicious and fried perfectly. I also had a strawberry milkshake which was great, all their ice cream in gluten free. My companions who do not have celiac also enjoyed their savoury waffle sandwiches. There are a bunch of games, and although we did not play, it looked like a fun time.

I’ve eaten here countless times! Always feels safe and is a great go to for someone with Celiac like me. Their waffle sandwiches are all made out of mochi and the waffle fries are cooked in a dedicated fryer. My favorites sandwiches are the king of New York, the tribond, and the chicken coup. My partner doesn’t eat meat and there are plenty of vegetarian options as well.

I've eaten here a few times and I absolutely love it! I will make my family drive two hours into the city just to have my birthday party here. You need to make a reservation on their website and read through the guidelines if you want to make sure you have a spot to play when you come. It costs a bit extra to reserve in advance but it is worth it since they don't have time limits for tables so it could be a very long wait if all the tables are in use when you get there.

The food is incredible and completely safe for celiacs, I'm a big sucker for waffle shaped food. I'm also vegetarian and lactose intolerant and unfortunately they don't have a vegetarian, dairy free sandwich option. I just order the level up with portabello mushroom and provolone cheese and deal with the fact that I have a lactose intolerance reaction to it. I wish they had the option to add dairy free cheese instead. You can sub coconut whipped cream on the desert waffles and plant based milk in the drinks. My favorite is the letter jam drink with soy milk. I seriously dream about that drink, it's so good! I always get the waffle fries too which are to DIE for. Literally, I am dead. If I lived in SF, I would go here every week.

This is actually a game boutique more than a restaurant (at the time I have been there at least). I went for a brunch and had an amazing waffle with waffle fries (hummm yummy !! Unusual for celiac). The place is not really cosy to eat I’d say, but food was safe and delicious !! She told me there was only gluten in a drink with Oreo

Cute spot for board games and tasty sweet and savory waffles. The whole menu is listed as being gluten free. There are some items, like battered and fried fish, that may not be so be sure to ask. But otherwise, the savory waffle sandwiches and sweet waffles are great! Good coffee and tea menu, as well.

I got the munchkins (fried chicken with furikake) and the battleship waffle (black sesame with condensed milk, cream and strawberries). The chicken was delicious!!! I haven’t been able to eat any fried chicken since being celiac so this was a real treat! And the seasoning/sauce on it was delicious. The waffle was nice but not amazing.

Oh my gosh! This was legitimately the best meal I’ve ever had my entire gluten-free life! I legitimately would drive the four hours back to San Francisco just to have this again. I had chicken and waffles, fried fish with waffle fries, and a banana salted caramel waffle for dessert worth every penny. I still think about it all the time and place is dedicated so you can have everything!! I had to question and triple check because it did not taste gluten-free. Tasted like REAL food!

I came for the gluten free food but I also am allergic to coconut which the sweet waffles had when I tried to get a savory waffle (without coconut) without toppings I was allergic to the person taking my order got increasingly miffed and annoyed and refused to let me customize a waffle with toppings I could eat even though build your own waffle was an option. I wound up just getting a coffee

I went to the Game Parlour when visiting SF with family and had a wonderful time. Almost of us ordered the savory waffles, which were crispy and delicious. The sweet waffles are mochi waffles, so they have a much chewier texture, which is something to be aware of. The fries are really good, I would highly recommend! In terms of the ambiance of the place, it seemed hip and the restaurant was busy. Many people were playing tabletop games, but we didn’t since it costed an extra $7 per person to play.
