"Soul food is from South America" "uhhh.... you mean South…read moreof America right" Ah, what a difference a single word makes... so they serve Southern style American comfort food. It isn't super authentic but the food is tasty and hits the spot. Stick with the typical Southern food choices and you'll be having a great meal! The dishes are small portion sized and made for sharing, so you may need to order 2-3 dishes per person. Food: 4/5 Their fried chicken, corn on the cob, and baked potato were very tasty, but sadly their gumbo and pumpkin risotto weren't so... So stick to classics and you won't go wrong. Their home made iced tea is super delicious and the perfect answer to a hot summer day. Service: 3/5 Typical Dutch service. We were seated outside and it was a bit hard to get the attention of our servers, especially when we wanted to pay. Atmosphere: 5/5 Their menus were made from cool vintage vinyl disks! Also the outside seating is right along a major bike path and you get to watch bicyclers whizzing by. Value: 3/5 The dishes are small and you have better control over how much you spend. For a moderate meal, about €25 per person.

Chill neighbourhood, friendly staff. Food is 'okay' but quite slow…read more Good for afternoon drinks in the sun, and if you are not in a hurry or hungry. Drinks probably around 10-15min to arrive even if not very busy, food probably 40-50 min except the bread basket with 2 dips (4 Euro) which comes faster. Menu rotates daily, but the dishes are not varied - all fish come with same salsa/lemon wedge, grilled and salted. Given the fact they function with a griddle and oven it's ok, but really wish there was at least few different sauces (eg buttered herb, lemon, garlic, spiced, etc.) so that people sharing at a table can have more than one taste amongst different dishes. Even though I can appreciate fresh seafood, the menu almost consists of a single dish served with different fish, meaning there is no appeal for me to come again to try other things. I feel like they could really benefit from a fryer for some salt/pepper squid, fish and chips for the relaxed pace and location for the restaurant, and to add variety to the griddle. Cocktails are not very strong, but otherwise fine to drink, nothing very special (Mojito, Long Island Tea, Gin & Tonic, etc. @ 9 Euro each) Dessert is also just 'okay', really nothing special or desirable to come again. (between 3.50-5.00 Euro) The atmosphere is well thought out with lights and blankets, that would be the main appeal of this restaurant.

But it's actually both and there's a restaurant side. The owner is very friendly and enthusiastically invited us inside. There were no English menus and the owner spoke very little English but he graciously helped us pick out some seafood for our meal. This was honestly some of the most delicious and fresh seafood I've ever eaten. My wife and I shared a large platter for only 14 Euros. So it's also a very good value. A small note-- if you're looking for drinks/alcohol, they don't sell any. But the seafood is so good that you won't miss it. Highly recommend this place.

The food is great, but the service was a joke, particularly from a male waiter (Spanish speaking,…read morewith tattoos). He was extremely rude to all of us. When he was taking the orders, some of us were talking to each other, as one usually does in restaurants. He made some of us shut up in a very rude manner, more than once. I think this was extremely disrespectful. I have eaten in Hamburg before and the service is always good, so I hope this was a one time thing.

Meh, this place was just ok…read more Let's start positive : Friendly service, and clean location. There's a small place for the kids to play and watch TV. The fries were good. Not so positive: The fish was very undercooked. The burgers tasted funny and the kids refused to eat them. They do NOT brew their own beer. The food took very long (almost 40 min) to be ready even though we were the only ones there at the time. It was overpriced for the quality of food. Would not returned again.

The pulled pork was also very nice. I didn't eat the burger one (it was missing the cheese and I was full) but my friend said the meat was pretty good. They have multiple selections of fries, thick, curly and thin, so I find that to be very nice! They have lots of coffee options including a coffee deluxe that comes with a cupcake! They are open for lunch which is awesome as we haven't found too many places here open during lunch every day and not just the weekend! I very much look forward to going back and trying other things on the menu such as the salmon club!

Also the food was well presented, but the first bite told me it was going to be a bad experience. We had the burger, which was too raw and under seasoned. I don't mind raw meet, but for a burger you need to use the correct seasoning. Plus we had the blue cheese on it and the little flavor it had disappeared within the sauce of the burger. This was not a good burger. Finally, the fries were few and a bit burned. The service was from plain to poor, the waiters were either annoyed or in some kind of mood since they were anything but plain. A smile and nice vibe can do a lot for a pleasant eating experience. Sadly ours was not good.

Tables are put very close so need some adjustments with how you can fit your body accordingly , but it is very cozy. I liked it. We drank two beers and enjoyed vegetarian bitterballen with it. Their menu has a lot of options to select from which is great and a reason for multiple visits. Anywho, bitterballen was good. As per beer, my partner chose De Koninck Bolleke and I went for Sijf's Eigen. We both loved our own choices and couldn't agree on which was better! I loved Eigen's smell and the way the bitterness of the beer slowly became sweeter. Definitely going for more in coming days. De Koninck Bolleke has a 'jumping' feel to it. I could smell barley (hop, malt) and sensation of bubbles in your tongue like when we drink soda was refreshing. But I still preferred Eigen. Recommended! (You might have to wait a little longer for the service, though!)
