Was surprised to see this kind of concept here in Maastricht. It was a classic bbq smokehouse type…read morerestaurant that I would expect in Memphis or Louisville not Maastricht. They did a good job with the decor I will say. With that being said it is kind of smokey inside. Not sure what the deal is with the ventilation but you will leave smelling like smoke. As for the food, the Wings were some of the best I have had. They don't have a thick breading on them but they are smoked perfectly. The ribs were ok at best but kinda burned. I think the sauce they put on the ribs that burned in the smoker. The fries were good. Slaw was more mayo based rather than vinegar but didn't expect much with that. They also had Burrata as an appetizer which was interesting considering the concept but the preparation was delicious. If you are craving bbq check it out. Definitely order the wings they are the star of the show.

I have been coming to In Den Ouden Vogelstruys since 2007 when I had my first experience in…read moreMaastricht and I dare say it is one of the reasons I return. In Den Ouden Vogelstruys is a brown cafe with various claims to historical permanence. Take your pick 1700's...1800's...there's even a canon ball stuck in the outside facade labeled 1670. There are a half-dozen bars on this block all beckoning for your hard earned (or recently converted euros). I have sampled them all and In Den Ouden is by far my cuppa. This time I was not alone and wanted to get a second opinion. Kate was not disappointed. We ordered the 4 cheese plate (Limburger, Brie, goat cheese and bleu). Two wedges of each along with a French roll, 4 slices of fruit and nut bread, apple syrup and a salad of grapes, walnuts and rocket all for $13.50. We accompanied this with her local herbed liqueur coffee and my Le Trapp. We had anticipated this to be a simple bar snack but in fact turned into our lunch of the day. We in particular loved the paring of the apple syrup over the bleu cheese and the Brie on the fruit/nut bread. All was yummy and beautifully presented. This was a perfect meal to linger over and be thankful for your blessings. We will come back.

Great little Italian place on a jumping street in Maastricht…read more This Italian place is legit. Cool thing is each table has a barcode and you can order on your phone if you want. Pizza is really good. Too much for one person so plan leftovers. Staff is friendly and speaks English. Definitely ask for the spicy olive oil to drizzle on your pizza. Lots of different pastas. Their claim is the make them in house.

Excellent pizza! Service was great. Very homely setup. Gorgeous roses and candles on every table.read more

Over the summer July 2019 I found this restaurant in Maastricht Holland…read more It was the night of Andre Rieu's performance so all the restaurants were packed. We found wall stock on the river right off the main road. They are a steak house restaurant. The atmosphere was relaxing. We sat on the patio outside across the street from the river. The inside of the restaurant was a bit dark but we were lucky to find a spot outside. It is a steak house so the decor was very similar to other steak house decor such as country rustic designs. I ordered the steak and it was the best steak I've had since being In Texas. The meat was very tender and cooked perfectly (medium). It came with this delicious cream pepper sauce. If you find you self in Maastricht holland I would recommend eating here.

We decided pizza would fit the bill and there were two open seats at this place on the main square. The staff was super friendly and accommodated our lack of Dutch language skills.

Both light meals were perfect given all of our big meals during 10 days of travel. They also gave a complimentary after dinner drink. A nice touch.

This restaurant is known throughout Maastricht for its ribs - and the ribs are justly famous…read more Although the food in this establishment is first rate - think of this place as a bar with food - to get more of a feel for what the experience is really like. This is one of a long line of brasseries that line the east side of the Vrijthof, one of the two main squares of Maastricht. The entire East Side of the Vrijthof is one extended "hang-out". There are maybe ten maybe twenty brasseries all right next to each other - and nothing but brasseries on the strip. the entire sidewalk is lined maybe eight deep with rows of tables under canopies and umbrellas - and pedestrians wend their ways through the tables to get to the brasserie of their choice. about 3/4 of the places have heaters - so people sit outside in droves - even when it is freezing cold. inside the decoration of most places is "english pub gone dutch". the menus tend to be dutch dutch and dutch with pizza and pasta options since the dutch love pizza and pasta. you are here to drink more than eat -although the food will be copious - and while dutch beer is neither belgian beer nor german beer - the nation that gave the world heineken ain't bad with a brewery. because this is a hangout for spending all night - service is slow. Slow by design. So as the other reviews note - you WILL wait for your food - which is being painstakingly prepared. You are supposed to be getting drunk and talking to your friends. When the food comes, you will die and go to heaven. (or at least you won't need to eat again until you die and go to heaven because servings are ENORMOUS) We started with a tomato red pepper soup for which I would KILL to get the recipe. It was made with the red peppers for which the Dutch are famous but with more red pepper flavor than you get even in a tube of Hungarian red pepper concentrate. The ribs were an unusual take on ribs. They were grilled over a fire rather than smoked - but with the lightest of light of sauces. No thick heavy red stuff with catsup and sugar US-style. No dominant meat-masking Memphis rub. No cloying Chinese pure syrup. The sauce was transparent and put an barely discernible amount of sweet touch on to the ribs -subtle but most assuredly there. The dominant flavor was that of really good grilled meat - but with the glaze making it more suave - giving it a child-like flavor of dessert. I was OMG raving about the ribs all night. And the quantity was HUGE. Lots of places in the US will give you the full rack of ribs - and this was a full rack of rigs. A full rack of ribs from one very very big Dutch pig. I can polish off a US rack and not think twice about it . This was more rib meat than I have had in a meal since I don't know when - Sides easily of the quality - of the soup and the mains. The standard French Fries in the standard wire Belgian French Fry Basket. But their angle? Give you a dipping bowl of standard Belgian mayonnaise - AND give you a dipping bowl of their own house improved kickier mayonnaise. The house improved kickier mayonnaise is tarter than plain old mayo (even good homemade mayo) and was a clearly superior accompaniment for ribs. A cabbage salad is also there - freshly made - not pickled like a kraut but vinegary enough thank you very much. Plus the decorating inside the pub is completely nice with fine wainscoting and beautiful tulip light fixtures. If I am ever back in Maastricht - this is my one clear return-to destination.
