    My new favorite cheeseburger!
    Gary H.

    We accidentally found Burgermeester, while looking for a different restaurant. In short, we didn't like what we saw at the other restaurant, and picked Burgermeester instead. The first thing we noticed was the staff was very friendly, and so were many of the customers. We were very comfortable. I ordered the cheeseburger deluxe and some frites with truffle mayo. The burger arrived, and it was much bigger than I expected, and when I took a bite, it was absolutely DELICIOUS! They must put super-magic-sauce on the burger, because my mouth starts watering if I even start thinking about it. This burger was so good, that two days later, I had to go back and have another. Usually, when vacationing, I like to eat a different place each day, but this was my exception. Best burger in Amsterdam, for sure. Best burger anywhere, quite possibly.

    Raw meat

    I would not recommend this restaurant. The burgers were raw in parts of them. Our drinks came out after our food, only when we notified the waiter we didn't have our drinks yet. The staff were dealing with all food and other kitchen/table tasks without gloves or washing their hands. I am very disgusted.

    This is a gourmet burger place with interesting combinations. It is one of the better burger places in Amsterdam if you're craving burgers. Food: 3/5 Their ingredients are fresh and you can really taste it from the food. Some of their combinations were a bit strange in flavor but they were very creative (example, feta and watermelon burger). The meat was a bit overcooked and though it was juicy, it didn't melt in my mouth. Their milkshakes are really strange and the flavor combos don't work. Do not order... Atmosphere: 4/5 There is an outdoor patio that you can sit and people watch. Alternatively, you can sit inside and watch them make your burgers. Overall, a really nice location. Value: 3/5 You can order a trio of different burgers for 11,50 and that allows you to try different flavors.

    I am a burger lover from the US that now lives in AMS. I know I have to scale back my expectations whenever I have a burger abroad. Based on the initial reviews on Yelp, I had some expectations that this joint would be respectable to good, but I was very disappointed. I ordered a regular beef burger with all the fixings and a baked potato. The burger bun was about the best part of the whole ensemble. The beef patty was maybe 1/3lb which is quite sizeable, but it unfortunately seemed to be of the frozen patty variety. There was nothing fresh about the beef and the fixings although plentiful also weren't the freshest. The bake potato I ordered was sizeable as well, but it was overcooked. In the US, I think places like Five Guys & IN-n-Out make good fast food burgers and I have no problem filling a craving at Fuddruckers as well. Burgermeester has a similar décor and color scheme as Five Guys, but they completely miss when it comes to the quality of the burgers. I crave burgers intensely and I would not go back here again and would be ok taking my money to McDonalds, because I think the beef there might actually be of higher quality which is surprising. Atmosphere & Decor: Very plain in my humble opinion. I thought the place could have been spruced up a bit and cleaned up as well. There is only a small bathroom that is shared by both men and women. Sound Level: There are tables out on the sidewalk which face the street, which will be accompanied by the typical levels of sound. Indoor seating is quite peaceful. Credit Cards: They accepted my US issued AMEX.

    Lamb burger!! They don't do lettuce wraps but they can salad ur burger for couple euros more, def worth it!!
    Carla G.

    Great burgers! Try the lamb burger as a salad option. Free WiFi, good wine for under 4 euros...

    Salmon burger with mushed peas and stuff. Loving it!

    Four stars because, of course there's some place where the burgers are even better, but this is my favourite place for burgers! Amsterdam is basically divided between lovers of Burger-bar (which I reviewed earlier) and lovers of Burgermeester. Everything that's wrong with Burger-bar is RIGHT at Burgermeester. The meat/fish/poultry is fresh and from sustainable farms (I believe mostly even biological/ecological certified) as are their other ingredients and you can taste it. They have a set number of burgers and a burger of the month, created by one of their guests. Everyone can send in suggestions for burger recipes and one is picked each month. If you can't choose between their regular offerings and the burger of the month, simply choose a trio (or duo) of mini burgers. Super easy to eat, not too small not too big. There are three locations in Amsterdam so you should never be too far away from one (-: My favourite until proven otherwise. (guess who missed the Yelp Burgertour last year!?)

    I tried this place while visiting the Dam from NYC. We decided to spend the day walking around Jordaan. After a long bike ride into Jordaan I got a craving for a juicy burger. This place has a cool flare and bumps hip hop. The menu is straightforward. When I got my burger, I will say it wasn't the best looking but boy was it delicious! The roll was a perfect bread to soak up the burger juice. The cheese was perfectly melted and the jalepenos gave it a kick! Would definitely recommend this burger joint next time you are in Jordaan.

    Trio of burger meister, chicken burger and Spanish burger... And a baked potato in the back ground
    Christie K.

    I've been on a bit of a burger binge later but glad my bf and I checked out this place. Heard it was reviewed by the NY Times so it's gotta be good right? Luckily we got there a bit early around 6 to grab a quick dinner before our comedy show at Boom Chicago. It's cool to watch them make the burgers - especially if you're having it for the first time because you think... they're HUGE.. and looks delicious. I ordered the Meester beef, chicken and spanish burger as part of the trio. I started with the Spanish burger which was full of flavour. Chicken burger was also great, loved the mix of avocado and mango. The Meester burger was good but probably should've started with that because it felt a bit plain. There are no fries but the baked potato is a good alternative. Also probably better that way because the burgers are very filling. The baked potato was nicely baked and do like it was topped with sour cream. Interesting that they don't have diet coke... even if it seems a bit silly to have it when you're eating burgers but sometimes I just prefer it. Would love to try some of the other burgers. They had a special - geese from schipol we would like to try next time!

    They serve very large burgers. The bread is fresh! I wish the fries were a little more seasoned, but overall very good.

It's…read moregot that dark, slightly chaotic, "rariteitenkabinet" vibe that makes you feel like you've stumbled into a hidden club rather than a burger joint. We kept it classic this time: * The Ribs: Fall-off-the-bone tender as always. They don't over-sweeten the glaze, which I appreciate. * Le Cannibale Royale: The pulled pork on top of the patty is a heavy hitter, but the sauerkraut actually cuts through the richness perfectly. * The Fries: Still some of the most consistent in the city--thin, salty, and actually hot. Service was busy (it's Handboogstraat, so what do you expect?), but the staff was super chill and kept the craft beers flowing. It's loud, it's moody, and it's exactly what I wanted for a late-night feed. Plus, I've noticed they actually take the time to read and reply to feedback here, which is a rare find for a place this popular. Keep doing what you're doing!

I originally thought it was the German Burgermeister chain which we really liked in Lucerne. We were even more curious when finding out that it's a local burger spot with only 3 locations in Amsterdam. This one is located on Utrechtsestraat in the city center near Rembrandt Square. It appears to be a small space when you first enter. There's a downstairs kitchen with bar seating as well as a booth at the window. Their actual dining area is upstairs. We were greeted immediately and asked to sit anywhere. Our order was taken at the table. It was great service from the get-go! I think our biggest first impression was the cleanliness of the restaurant and bathrooms. You just don't see that level of clean just anywhere. The burgers here are exceptional. They are gourmet-type burgers that are cooked to order. We thought about getting fries with it, but decided not to after seeing the size of these burgers. I could barely eat it all. Our Mokum Cheese Burger was absolutely delicious and very juicy. I loved every topping. I can't name it all, but I know it had some type of aged cheese with a hint of horseradish in the sauce. The pickles were tasty. I wish I could give you every ingredient. All I know for sure is that it's made with Blonde d'Aquitaine beef. They have a cookbook for sale if you're interested. The drinks are varied from gin & tonic to beer, wine, and lemonade. I enjoyed their loose-leaf jasmine mandarin tea served hot. There's a little room upstairs for creative people who like to sketch. I saw some of them decorating the walls. Having a burger in different countries may seem uninspiring for some people. I've found it to be very telling of the local culture and flavor. Especially in restaurants that have a standard of high quality ingredients. This is one that I'd go back to when visiting Amsterdam. The service made it even better.
