Me and my friend go there occasionally, like once a month or so. The food in general is quite good,…read moreusually 8/10 for the hot wings but at least when going through the drive through the order almost always comes out wrong. They either forget entire buckets, forget mayonaise, salt, or all of the above. At least 4/5 times we had to go back to ask for missing items... The staff isn't too sharp but once they do help you out they do it well. They don't ask for receipts but just trust you on your word which is good service I'd say. In the end, the food is good but most of the time you'll end up having to go back inside (coming from the drive through) to fetch missing items which is a real bummer.

When my partner first suggested that we drive up to the Netherlands for KFC, I laughed. American…read moreKFC is greasy, plastic-ish, stale, dirty and just a general health hazard. He talked me into it though, and I'm glad. The food was obviously fresh. The chicken was real chicken. It was crisp and juicy. The restaurant was clean, even the bathrooms. I was pleasantly surprised all around!

Anyone who has ever been to basically any country in the EU knows that people take their fries…read moreseriously. RPEL is a cool hipster joint that serves fries made from organic potatoes here in the city of Eindhoven in the southern part of the Netherlands. The vibe is cool and ambience is hip and casual. The Dutch people consider fries to be their main course, not an appetizer. Therefore places like this are quite packed during lunch and dinner times. RPEL also has gourmet dipping sauces to accompany your fries with such as mayo, Belgian mayo, BBQ, curry sauce, applesauce (a German thing) and their new citrus and truffle mayos. The citrus had the nice touch of actual lime zest sprinkled on it, and the truffle mayo was definitely delicious. They also have a variety of other friend foods to snack on. Yes. Yes I would definitely go back.

Fries are one of my major weakness. In fact, it was my only food source for lunch in high school. I…read moreliterally had fries every.single.day. I managed to remain thin though. Go figure. Anyhoo, I love just about anything that is fried. So of course, De Frietketel is right up my alley. We managed to stop by twice during our stay in Gent. It's fast food and it's cheap. Enough said. The fries are delish and the portion is huge. We also had Bitterballen, Bicky Burger & Bicky Rib. All were good. We stood in a fairly long line once. You order, get a number and pick up your food when called. The folks here are friendly and helpful. The place gets full with college kids. Cheap eats! Seating can be hard to get, but we never had a problem. Don't come in expecting gourmet and you won't be disappointed.

We were in Ghent for a day tour. My husband and I are strict vegetarians, which is fun in a country…read morelike Belgium where it's not all that common. In addition to that, we don't eat onions, garlic, leeks, or chives (it makes it that much more fun). I did my research and found out that Ghent was supposedly the most vegetarian-friendly city in Belgium so I made a list (not long at all) and this place made it. Then I found out that they would be stopping in our next city for lunch so when we were let out to roam, we walked the 16 minutes from our starting point to get sustenance before our meet up time. It's fairly easy to find with a GPS and we got to see some of the back roads. Thankfully, they had recently opened and though I would have preferred to dine in, we needed to hoof it back to the group so we asked for the items to be bagged. Their menu is clearly posted on the wall. There were two guys working and the guy taking our order knew English (thank you). After explaining our restrictions and confirming that their fries are vegetarian (YES), we ended up ordering the walnut burger (he said it was their popular item) and their broccoli burger with veganaise (it's extra) along with an order of large fries, which he said would be more than enough to share. The patties were deep fried and placed in these white buns along with lettuce and tomatoes and very generous dollops of mayo (I guess I can't really complain about paying for the condiments then). They each got their styrofoam container and were very well sized. I watched him grab a paper container only slightly bigger than my hand, fill it with fries, place it on some food grade paper, then he topped it off... until you couldn't see the paper container anymore. In went a good almost 1/3 cup container of mayo and the entire thing was wrapped in paper before he tore a small hole at the top to let out some steam. I had a couple of fries fresh from the fryer on the way back. They are unsalted and were quite good. With the mayo, it added something extra and perhaps more vessel clogging properties to my bill of "health". When we got close to the meeting place, we sat down and wolfed down our burgers. They were good and quite filling. There was a huge walnut in my patty that hadn't processed completely and it was delicious - not all too seasoned but still good. I would have liked to add pickles next time for extra acidity. Hubby's broccoli patty was well seasoned and I didn't see much green from broccoli but I saw something that might have been carrots. It was good as well and could do without added acidity. Turns out mine was made in-house but his wasn't. In the end, I'm glad I finally got a taste of (vegetarian) Belgian fries as well as something of good nutritional value for lunch. I'm also very thankful to this place for giving us edible choices (just because something's vegetarian still doesn't mean we can eat it). It's also reasonably priced! Yay!

The combos are a little different there, but what made me so happy was the dipping sauce for the fries. I ordered fries and she asked if I wanted any sauce. Never been asked that in Canada. I asked what kinds there were. Many were similar to McNugget sauces, but they had Fritessaus! If you're there, you must try it! I'd only seen it in Canada at Dutch stores, never a restaurant. Wish Canadian McD's had it!

There is an automatic machine for payment using a credit card with touch screen which is really nice. We tried using our corporate card which was rejected and I assume it may be on the companies do not use list since it is a rest stop and had a unique name, our cards work everywhere in Europe normally. It said declined on the receipt but then said to go to the counter. We tried the card several times each and then was concerned later that multiple orders were placed. The receipt should just say declined in my opinion to prevent confusion. The environment is modern and nice.

They also have Belgian mayo here (a bit more sour), along with all the other sauces that most fry shacks in Holland carry, such as speciaal (mayo, curry ketchup, & onions) & oorlog (mayo & satay sauce). My only gripe is that I never know when they open. They seem to be closed most of the times that I want to eat from them... which I guess is pretty much every time I pass by the area. haha. :P ok. nevermind. This was my absolute favorite thing to eat in Holland. I have been forever spoiled by these fries. I will surely miss them!
