• Love this place...usually.

I've made many a visit to both of Swing's current downtown locations, and most of them have been astounding. The music...swingy, the tables clean, the service quick, the staff nice, the plastics biodegradable, the ethical values stellar and the food tasty, if not a wee bit messy (but that's mostly to be expected with massive burgers and bulging wraps, though I wish they'd cut the latter in two). If I was allowed to change anything, I'd add both 'vollkorn' and gluten-free bread options, a low-carb lettuce 'bun', sweet potato pommes and perhaps a plainer, tidier burger to the menu. I'd also rework the sauces and dressings, as they are a tad sugary, I find. It's a great concept, and I was absoloutely engulfed in Schadenfreude when I noticed that their fourth location is taking over a McDonald's; this place isn't just attracting full-on vegans, and my dear non-veggie friend (who often seems to want to eat here more often than I do) is most certainly a testament to that. I hope they and their peers grow until each and every last relic of the Golden Arches is eradicated from Vienna, Austria, Europe and, hopefully, the planet! (*Insert sinister, maniacal cackle here*) In all of my visits, the food has been expectedly well-prepared too - except for this last instance. After waiting for a rather inordinate amount of time for my seemingly-simple, 'zum Mitnehmen' (take-away) order of gluten-free nuggets and a garden salad and walking to a nearby park because the restaurant (and inexplicably/seemingly all of Vienna, for that matter) was packed, I realised that my nuggets were still very much frozen inside. Obviously I went back and asked for a new batch, which they promptly provided, but not without a strange, dubious look as well. Thinking all had been sorted, I returned to the park and proceeded to eat my salad whilst the new, thankfully-piping-hot nuggets cooled down...until it transpired that they'd forgotten to include a fork. -.- We all have those days! Bottom line: If you're okay with wheat and/or gluten, have mastered the art of burger/wrap-eating, feel like some naughty food and desire to eat it in a really nice ambiance (or to-go without the guilt of being terribly wasteful), then this is a pretty great and increasingly ubiquitous option.
