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.

Royal, cheese, and zalm burger trio

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.

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

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

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.

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!

Go for the lamb burger. Beef burger is, ok. Cute place. Good area. Cool music. Decent prices.

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

Busy lunch hours seemed to be dropping off around 13:30, about when I was there. It's possible there's an upstairs, but it was roped off on my visit. I decided to go with a unique combination, an unconventional choice, with the "Silence of the Lambs" burger, a patty made out of lamb, topped with goats cheese and sautéed onion. There was just one guy manning the register, and one lady cooking in the back. The first bite was divine, but towards the end I found it to mellow out to a rather neutral impression. I'd like to have tried a beef burger, and was contemplating the Dragon, but when in Ams. Worth a try, if convenient to do so.

This was our last meal in Amsterdam and I have to say, they had the best burger i have ever had! I…read moremean, no joke! I ordered the cheesy freak, my daughter ordered the silly cheesesteak and my other daughter and hubby got the classic plus we ordered a side of roasted potatoes. Our burgers were cooked PERFECTLY to medium rare! The three cheeses were so nicely melted and complemented each other beautifully. The burger was juicy but somehow not greasy! We realized this just be the difference between American beef and grass fed Dutch beef! And the potatoes were to die for! I do not typically like roasted potatoes, but these were perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked so they were slightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The service was spot on! When we walked in, there were not enough seats, but the staff took our order, and assured us that there would be seats by the time our food was ready. As soon as other patrons finished their meal, the staff called us in from outside to come and take our seats. Minutes later, our meal was delivered! They were so friendly and accommodating to us and made conversation. The vibe is very inviting and cozy. It is amazing that they were able to rotate all of the patrons in and out in an appropriate amount of time. I loved the music too! I am so glad we came here! It was a perfect end to our visit to Amsterdam!

Husband got the sliders, there was 2; had Serrano ham, shredded pork; mine was our fav.. Service was not great but not terrible.

I believe the level burgerdom at Ter Marsch is good quality - yet mediocre in taste. The bun is stale. At least mine was. I'm not sure if it was intended to be in that condition. The burger is thick and juicy, but lacking in the fresh beefiness that I wanted. What sets it apart is the aioli sauce - really top notch. The lettuce fell out. Shredded lettuce would have been better. The problem was the hockey puck burger sat high in the middle of the bun. When you bite into it, you get a mouthful of bun, and the hockey puck gushes out the side. If you bite into the hockey puck the rest of the ingredients gush out the side and down your hand, and you're left with disintegrated stale bun pieces. Sweet potato fries were ok, and the truffle sauce sent it over the top. But honestly, it's middle of the road in Southern California Burger Land.
