Ellis was one of the worst dining experiences I have had in years. The food was overpriced for the quality we received. The burgers were overcooked compared to what we asked for and the nachos did not even have cheese on them. What really made Ellis atrocious was the service we received. It took 30 minutes after we ordered for us to receive any food. Even then, we did not receive a significant portion of our meal. After I talked to our waiter about the subpar service, she made numerous excuses and offered no apology. She didn't even offer a free dessert or appetizer as a way of showing remorse. Stay away from this place at all costs. You are better off eating out of a dumpster than coming to Ellis. You will leave impoverished, dissatisfied, and depressed after this dining experience.

Calamari. Rings.

Don't make the claim I stopped here twice during my trip. Walking past at lunch, the outdoor seating drew me in. I stopped inside and was told that I could grab a seat. I sat down and waited about 10 min but no server came out so I continued on my way and dined elsewhere. I'm all for second chances. I made the hike back for dinner as I really wanted to try the best burger in town. I grabbed a seat at the bar and ordered a beer and app. While waiting for the app, they filled up inside with just one server. There was a manager present when I came in, but at this point he had disappeared. While I love a good burger, the halibut special was intriguing. The server recommended against it and we got our order in before the wave of others. The calamari app came out and had a frozen look to it. Shaped like onion rings, they were chewy. My burger was served up and I'm sure I frowned. It didn't have a good bun to burger ratio. The flavor of the toppings on the Special 2.0 was good, but it was cooked on the well side, not medium as per the menu. The fries and dip were very good. The manager did eventually reappear and helped out, but I think the rush killed the kitchen. Dinner at Cannibale Royal was far better. Given a choice, I wouldn't stop back.

Good food and a nice wait staff...place was decorated well too. Good location to people watch off the typical tourist beat.

Really good burger, but unfortunately, in my opinion, not a gourmet burger. From a gourmet burger I would expect more. Nice place, not crowded, and a plus for that you can sit outside by the canal.

Three alternative veggie burger available

We walked by this nice restaurant the night before and decided to give it a try. It was really nice here and we cannot understand the previous review that the service should be better. The service was really good; friendly, attentive, funny and always smiling. We liked also their T-Shirts; some had "Order here" others had "Running for you" written on their back. The food was really good and they had 3 burger variations for vegetarians in their menu. Also awesome: the fries and the Gin&Tonic! The interior very nice. The bathroom was also brand new and spotless clean.

A nice burger place located on the Prinsengracht just a short distance from the Leidseplein. They have an interesting selection of burgers including a couple of vegetarian choices. I liked that they had large picnic style tables outside next to the canal that were under a large tree so that you could sit in the shade if you wanted. The burger I had had a large thick meat patty. It wasn't cooked medium rare but closer to rare. They also have milkshakes so I had to try one. It was essentially ice cream blended with a little milk. They must have used chocolate chip ice cream being there were little chocolate chips at the bottom of my.metal cup. The service wasn't bad but neither was it great. I'm going to give them another shot seeing as some people had a good experience.

Worth it

Great burger. Super friendly staff. Yes it maybe costs more than your fast food burger but it's good. Tyner forget to ask you how you like your burger but that's the only con we found. We just told them.

Bad burgers and even worse service. The server kept sighing and rolling her eyes when my kids asked her not to put mustard in the burger. We got our burgers at least 20 minutes after placing the order and then after 3 reminders still didn't get the fries for another twenty minutes. We finally asked for the check and they brought us the fries after half of us had finished the burgers.

Meat lover burger with bacon and cheese. Delicious.

Pretty good burger. We ordered the bacon burger and the lamb burger. Meat was juicy, paired with onion rings and a bier. Tasty lunch!

The fact that it overlooked a canal and I could people watch and also eat my burger was just a bonus.

There is almost *no* room to sit inside comfortably. Just a handful of bar stools around the sides,…read moreyou'll be cramped uncomfortably next to your neighbors. 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!

Our group of 6 went for dinner, it's more like a bar vs pub based on the few drafts they had. The…read moreone I chose was on draft but only bottle available Affligem was yummy. We enjoyed burgers; mine had yuzu and ponzu sauce which doesn't sound great but it really was & tasty; lettuce & tomato, pickles which were diff & so good, seeded brioche bun. I'd get again. Husband got the sliders, there was 2; had Serrano ham, shredded pork; mine was our fav.. Service was not great but not terrible. Fries were crisp and hot and had a green type sauce, a bit herbal went well with the fries. All enjoyed! Any Water must be bought.

I rule from Southern California - the Capitol of Burgerland. So maybe the level of the bar in my…read moreburger reviews is inflated. 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.
