Decent burgers. I prefer the ones at Burgermeester. They take quite a while to prepare them as well. This is definitely not fast food. It took almost as long as a burger in a sit-down restaurant. read more

Nice variety and selection of burger meats (and non-meats). The prices are fair. Overall it was good. Service seemed slow compared to American burger joints, but the end product is tasty and the staff were nice and helpful. I seem to remember the fries were 'eh' and even though there were a lot of sauces, none of them appealed to my natural instincts (read: heinz was available, but no organic ketchup, yellow mustard not dijon, etc.). Burger Bar Breakdown: Location 5+ (great for pre-Pathe eats) Service speed 3 Finding a clean place to sit (or not) 3 Service overall 4 Price 4 Fries 1 Overall 3.5 read more

I was craving a burger, and Burger-Bar seems to have the best reviews. The burger was pretty good (but we have high standards from Jack Brown's Burger Joint in Harrisonburg), but just know the burgers come with lettuce, tomato, pickle, some sort of sauce, and onion maybe. The patties seems to be hand-made and mine didn't come close to filling the bun. It had a good flavor to it, but a tip is that it will come medium/well, so be sure to tell them if you want it any other way, and if you want to take it with you, be sure to tell them to-go! My main issue was with the fries. My husband thinks the second time they went in the fryer it was too hot, but there was just something a little off about them. This place is kind of small and noisy, but it was worth stopping into. And all those poor folks at Burger King don't know what they missed! read more

First things first, my favourite burger place in Amsterdam is Burgermeester. A friend of mine, who probably has the best taste of all my friends, recommended this place to me assuring me Burgerbar was much better than Burgermeester. So when I had the opportunity my partner and I went there after seeing a film. At the Burgerbar you order a basic burger and add your own toppings to create a burger catered to your taste. This may work for many people, just not so much for me. The burger was well done while I would rather have had it medium/rare. During the ordering process we weren't asked how we would like the meat done. And to be honest I didn't specify (lesson learned). The fries that were served with the burger weren't very tasty unfortunately. For a quick bite after seeing a film, perhaps, but to enjoy a really nice burger I still prefer Burgermeester. As a tip. If you're planning to go there after seeing a film. Best get there sooner rather than later as there can be quite a queue when the cinema empties. read more

My wife and I ate here on 12 April 2014. First of all the price is a little too much. We spent 29 euros for 2 burgers, 2 fries, and two cans of soda. Secondly, my wife asked for her burger well done. When she cut into her burger, it still had a lot of pink on it. The fries were nothing more than decent. The crew working was pretty good. I regret going to the Burger Bar. It does not come even close to good burger places in the US. read more

Nothing beats a perfectly medium-rare burger that melts in your mouth. It's exactly as you'd expect: you choose a type of beef (or chicken!) in 200 or 270 grams, cheeses, and then toppings. Make your own monster creations, or just go with a simple burger + cheese. They'll come with lettuce, onions and pickles already. Do get the egg on top; anything and everything tastes better with a fried egg. Eat it as the locals do: with fork + knife. Considering how large my burger ended up being, it was actually quite convenient to eat it in that manner. I would actually consider this place significantly better than most burger places in America. read more

Received the wrong order, completely. This wouldn't have been a problem if I wasn't received back at the bar with both the threat of violence & being told to speak in Italian. read more

Delicious! I had a chicken burger on brioche (pay the extra 25 cents!) with fries. The chicken burger was tender, cooked perfectly, and had their signature sauce (almost like a Big Mac sauce). The fries were thick cut and very good. The place is tiny so be ready to squeeze into the small bar or onto a small table against the wall if you want to eat there. Ketchup is extra. read more

Solid burger that you can customize with a variety of toppings. They even have a topping of the month. Choice of brown bread or standard roll. Fries could have been a little crispier and were a bit too salty for my taste. Their Kobe beef is actually wagyu - just nitpicking with that comment. read more

Great variety of meat and non meat. The fries are very good!! Service was not too quick though. Good food, beware of pick pockets! read more

Wow, worth every penny. They have a selection of beef and chicken, they are all good. The prices are very fair considering the quality. I would def recommend to anyone in the area. The only problem is that the wifi is not very good and there are no bathrooms there, only a faucet to wash your hands. read more

Excellent burgers, best in Amsterdam. Better than burgermeester. Best to call ahead and take food home... Dirty feeling interior and stressed out staff near rembrandtplein read more

Best burgers in Europe...sure thing! Do not miss out on this place when in Amsterdam!

I ordered some fries here with mayo (naturally) after bar hopping and wasn't exactly thrilled with the product... my fries seemed stale and had a totally unappealing soft/hard texture that weirded me out. I still want to try a burger here, but I'd rather hit up ANYWHERE ELSE for fries. read more

I had heard great things about the burgers here, but after trying them I think they are pretty standard. Not good, not bad, just standard.

after a 3 hour bike tour of amsterdam, we were very hungry. we discovered burger bar on tripadvisor, and after having traveled in no-beef india for 3 weeks, we were pretty excited. we laughed at someone's review on tripadvisor that said "several bites of my black angus burger were the most amazing to ever happen my mouth-hole." clearly, we had to try this place... let me tell you, i'd leave the same review. the place was just picnic style benches and a couple tall barstool tables. you pick your meat and your burger just comes with lettuce and tomato - or you can pay for all these other delicious toppings. mine ended up being the 200 gram black angus burger with cheddar, grilled onions, and avocado (california girl). i also got fries with garlic sauce and i made my s.o. order a different sauce so we could swap and share. he went with the samurai which was a creamy reddish orange spicy dipping sauce. we probably should have shared an order of fries... and maybe even a burger... but everything was so delicious we managed to do a pretty good job of finishing everything. we had to cut ourselves off eventually and by that point my hands were covered in burger juices. luckily, burger bar comes complete with a sink, soap, and paper towels just for this issue. read more

Gobble gobble gobble. Perfect food after dancing, drinking, partying :) Must have to take the edge of whatever alcohol you downed that evening. But seriously, I first tried Burger Bar as dinner before a movie date, and it was awesome :) The satisfaction of eating a good burger gave me good vibes and made the crappy movie we watched less crappy :) read more

Best burger you will find in Amsterdam. You can choose from a selection of quality beef; Irish, Black Angus and my personal favorite Wagyu Beef. And there fries are good to. read more

Best burger place ever!! just my favourite, I go whenever I can, I recommend the Kobe burger, it worth the money! Angus burger also won't disappoint you! and the good thing is that you can choose the toppings! read more

Liked this place, stopped in for some spontanious lunch... Was contemplating burger king or mcdonalds, glad they grossed me out in time for this place. I just went for the irish beef burger with cheddar, fries n ketchup. Great and affordable burger, meat tasted great, like meat. Not like that processed crap. Will return soon, to test that wagyu burger they are all raging about. Then the 4x might become a 5x. read more

Had an okay time. Had a weird experience with two workers there (they later apologized for their behavior) but other than that it was okay. The beef had an unusual taste. Perhaps it is because of the freshness of the ingredients. Could expand their veggie selection a bit more. More toppings and more for non-meat eaters. read more

Having that craving for a burger?! You just found your place! If you're looking for a place with junk food which actually gives you a satisfied feeling, go to the Burger Bar! For all the people whatching their calories, they are worth every calorie! read more

Kobe beef burger and fries, absolutely worth it! Didn't think a burger joint would be on my must haves when I visit Amsterdam, but now I can't come here without stopping at Burgerbar. Plus, you meet some interesting people if you sit at the communal table. read more

Freshly cooked burgers with a choice of high-quality meat, makes this the best place to get a great burger in Amsterdam! Highly recommended!

Until Burger Bar came to Amsterdam, Burgermeester was the best burger place in town, but they've been beat. Burger Bar takes fresh ground beef and shape it in a patty and throw it on the grill. Simple and delicious. There is one other one off the Nieuwendijk. The fries are good too. Open late. Sorry Bruger King and McDonalds. You lost a customer. read more

Fast food with a home-made feel to it. Because it's always really busy the staff has to work so hard that it sometimes shows in the quality of the burger. It's propably not THE BEST burger of all time but for the money it's pretty freaking great. I have to say that the fries are the absolute best! With Zaanse mayonaise....omg...finally a business that understands. Highly recommend read more

The concept is good - a totally customized burger, starting with not just size but burger type, such as turkey, beef, Wagyu beef or veggie, and then add customized toppings - but execution completely failed. I ordered my smaller (200 g) burger cooked medium, and it came out raw in the middle. Raw. Raw ground beef is particularly gross to me. Hubs' burger, although larger at 270 grams, and also ordered cooked medium, came out something like medium well. How could the larger burger be more cooked than the smaller, and yet neither of them cooked correctly, when all you serve are burgers? Two stars only because my husband's food seemed fine, perhaps 3-stars, while mine was definitely a 1-star experience. I was already suspect of any/all restaurants in this highly touristy area, and this experience confirmed the suspicion, and I will never eat anywhere near here again. read more

The second high rated burger I tried out in Amsterdam. Some colleagues said its the best they ever ate so we went there. It is a good burger, but imho not the best. I ordered the small Kobe Beef Burger simple with cheese. I wanted to have it medium, but got it well done, and the burger itself was a little bit stale. But the hand chopped fries with the spicy dip were really good. So finally it is a good burger with really good fries, but not the best in town I think. read more

My 'go to' quick & easy burger joint whenever I'm in Amsterdam, staying near Rembrandtplein and need a quick feed. Order from multiple types of meat, plus its size, with an array of extra toppings or a wholemeal bun. Certainly recommended if you are jet lagged want to get in out , then into your bed! read more

I have been to Burger Bar on two occasions now and I will continue to go to it whenever I am in the area and craving a burger and fries. A large burger with way too many fries costs around 10 Euros. All the ingredients are freshly made. The burgers are formed right before they are put on the grill and the fries a cooked fresh for every order. Overall I would rate the burgers close to the level of Five Guys or Fuddruckers. The burger is thick and juicy, but they lack a unique flavor component that would put it at a higher standing. The fries are generous and good, but also lack a unique flavor component that sets Burger Bar apart from a true gourmet burger shop. In conclusion, I would visit this place again without any hesitations. read more

Top notch burgers. Made (rolled, patted, cut) right in front of you. They're always busy but servers/service is extremely efficient. Hands down one of the best places to get food in Amsterdam. I will definitely be back !! read more

BEST BURGER SPOT I've ever been to!! nothing compares to the fries and sauce. Wagyu beef was tasty with the fried egg!! Absolutely love the place. read more

Maybe it was because tourist could still use the coffee shops, but I remember having a great wagyu burger here with my friends.

Super tasty hamburgers that you can find with easy reach and good price down town. Love to go there, order my burger with my fav ingredients and sauce! Just delicious! Dont forget to add fries next to it, they are very good as well. read more

Been here in Feb '15. Ordered a 270 g wayyu burger with ham and grilled onion with fries. After waiting a considerable amount of time what we had faced up with was the masterpiece of the burger world. 13 euros for the burger but it is defintely worth. Reddish and juicy inside while more crunchy coating but not burned. read more

Always a nice stop after a day in AMS, you know your actually getting beef AND how much you are actually getting. They weigh the beef and display the weight for the entire restaurant to see. The best comes fresh! read more

I had the angus burger and it was dry and un-flavorful but there is salt and pepper on the tables. Fries tasted different than usual fries and were hard, not crispy but hard. My 6 year old didn't eat them because of the texture and he didn't like the taste of them. read more

Just great! I had an black angus beef with goat cheese and jalapeños! It was delicious for a really good price so if you will be there enjoy it! read more

Large portions (2 chicken breasts for the chicken sandwich) and well executed, but tasted quite plain and every sauce cost extra. Also, we went in the rain and the seating was WAY too tight - could not even lift my hands to eat the sandwich properly. I would only go back if I was very hungry and/or doing takeout. read more

Best burgers in Amsterdam! Burgers are hand formed and cooked fresh! I got the 270g Irish beef, very tasty. Pair it up with a side of friets (with mayo, of course) And you're set! I only wish we had them here in America... read more
