We were looking for a decent fairly inexpensive place to eat, and thanks to a little research on TA came up with this little Gem. We probably wouldn't have stopped had we not known it was supposed to be good, as it's very small with limited seating inside and a lot of people waiting. The burgers are moulded and cooked... More

This was the best meal I had on me weekend trip to Amsterdam. The idea for the restaurant was a new one in my books. They weigh out the meat (of your choice) in front of you and prepare the burgers with a lot of love and care, for youto see. The burger (I had the Irish Beef, 270g, cooked... More

I enjoyed the burger and the fries. Only thing lacking is the seating, and tables. However, it's a fast food place and if it were not rainy, I probably would have wanted to sit outside. Being across from a coffee house, the smell of pot drifted over. This was not something that I enjoyed. But, it is not the fault... More

Let me preface this by saying that I love a burger, and here I have had several. Once you have gone Kobe beef once, you will never go back from this delicious, juicy burger. The staff are friendly and relaxed, Dutch style, always chatting and joking. There is typically a good range of sauces available with the fries. Simple, but... More

I like places that don't have too many menu options, aren't too expensive and fills me up. The burgers are massive, very juicy and slightly pink in the middle. Can be messy and hardly anywhere to eat it, but it adds to the charm. Great little Amsterdam eatery, especially after a few coffee shop visits.

The burgers are very good, with quality meat and ingredients and generous portions. Maybe it's a little expensive but I recommend it!

First off, let me say I live in Texas and they know how to make a burger there. This burger was decent and since I hadn't had a burger in a month I devoured it. Great add-ons and the sauces are great. I think the best one was called samurai. Worth a visit if you're craving a burger! Also -... More

Having read the wonderful reviews, we were excited to grab a take away burger for our dinner. What I got, after paying 15 euros for one small burger, was horrible slop that I would have happily traded for a whopper (and I don't like American fast food burger chains). The place is very tight and awkward to wait in. Service... More

This place seemed very popular. There is no real sitting area and most people take away but the food is great and you pick and choose your combination of meat and toppings and dip.
