Customer Reviews
On 01/07/2026, we decided to revisit the Queen & Rook for a quick bite. We were in the mood for pizza, and since I had tried every pie on the menu except for the fall veggie, we decided to give it a try. The fall veggie pizza comes with oyster mushrooms, roasted red peppers, red onion, spinach, and garlic housemade marinara with your choice of vegan or regular mozzarella. We opted to add vegan sausage crumbles to take it up a notch. For drinks, we chose a pot of "Computer Eyes" hot tea, which had a cute name that aligned with the restaurant's theme. The tea was made with lavender, Elderberry, peppermint, and honey, and it was absolutely excellent. It was a very relaxing tea that we enjoyed together. We also shared a turmeric golden milk latte with oat milk and honey, which was perfectly d
We tried different appetizer and they were delicious! Their drinks were also pretty good but my oh my did they have many games!! They even have a “game expert” where you’d tell them what you’re searching for and they’ll help you or pick a game for you. Probably more fun with a bigger group because the main floor has huge tables for that specifically. Over all would definitely recommend and go again
Love a solid board game meet-up place with a bar menu! They charge a fee for renting/playing their stock of games spread across three floors. There's a cool arcade in the basement. Please be aware that they don't serve meat—all vegetarian and vegan options. The pizza was surprisingly great and the spinach artichoke and vegan burger was ok. The ambiance is cozy and I dig the old tavern vibe. Knocked a star off for the service. Not sure if it's the staffing but there was only one waiter at the time of our visit and it was busy! My burger came way too late that my party finished their food before I started. We should've asked for garlic and red pepper flakes for the at the time of ordering but it was delivered late and the pizza was almost gone. I'd return to play games but yield to ordering
We had a wonderful evening here. The shelves are overflowing with great games - so much to take in! My daughter is vegan so the menu is perfect for her - with many great pub-grub plant-based options. The wait staff is friendly and they have encyclopedic gaming knowledge. Next time we will hit the vintage arcade game section.
Holy crap, this place is amazing. This is the best board game bar we've been to, and we've been to many places across North America. The food is great, the drinks are great, and the game library is world-class. They're clean, complete, and they have folks on staff there to recommend games. I don't mind the library access fee if it means they can deliver this level of service. I didn't even touch on the arcade in the basement, either. The staff is great and passionate, to boot. If we lived locally we'd be regulars here for sure. The only complaint I have is the ceilimg fans in the main room cast flickering shadows across the entire room. Apart from that, the vibes are incredible. 9/10 would recommend
