The Playhouse // Swillburger is a vibrant spot that perfectly combines delicious burgers and nostalgic arcade games! 🍔✨ I tried the double hamburger with cheese and was blown away by the rich flavors - definitely worth a visit!

The Cajun tots were a highlight, crispy and flavorful, while my friend enjoyed a creamy vegan burger. The atmosphere buzzes with fun and energy, though it can get a bit noisy.

My only wish? Better-maintained games, as two of the three I played were a bit glitchy. Overall, great food and a super cool vibe! 🎮🍻 Definitely coming back for more!
