Picture it - a glorious wall of vending machines containing all things bad for you. Cheeseburgers, hamburgers, potato croquette looking things, fried veggie patties, and other miscellaneous artery-clogging deliciousness - all at your fingertips for just a bit of pocket change. A perfect spot to hit up after a night out, or in our case, a night of roaming around Amsterdam until our legs were jello. Everything looks delicious, and everything is placed into the vending machine freshly made. You'll even get a glimpse of the hand placing in the freshest items which I would assume makes the decision on what to get much easier. Some Febo locations are open 24/7 which is terrible and amazing at the same time.

The food sits neatly displayed behind small glass windows, each item looking like a perfectly portioned prize waiting to be claimed. You tap your credit card, pop open the door, and pull out something hot, crispy, and ready to eat. It's quick, quirky, and still one of the most uniquely Dutch food experiences around. This spot also turns into a popular late‑night stop after the bars. You'll see people grabbing their kroketten or burgers, hanging around the entrance eating, laughing, and recharging before heading to the next place. It's chaotic in a fun way -- the kind of street‑corner energy that feels very Amsterdam. Beyond the wall of doors, there's a walk‑up counter serving juicy fried chicken, golden fries, and milkshakes that hit the spot after a long night out. It's a great balance: instant snacks on one side, freshly prepared comfort food on the other. It's not fancy, and it doesn't pretend to be -- but it's clean, fast, and reliably tasty. For a quick bite, a late‑night recharge, or just the novelty of grabbing food from a little door, FEBO delivers exactly what you expect with a bit of extra charm.

Some items are vendor machine style where you charge your card and the door unlocks so you can pull your food out. Some items and drinks you order at the counter. Their croquettes are tasty and crispy. Our favorite was the Sate. Almost had a curry type flavor. Surprisingly I also enjoyed their fries "Special" which is also known as "The Dutch Way". It had mayo, sate sauce, and chopped onions. It was delicious and the fries come out super fresh and hot! Very small eating area with a counter along the window. It's more of a grab & go place, or quick bites. Definitely need to try this place while in Amsterdam.

Tip 1: If you ask for the fries to go they will put the salt separate, this apparently keeps the fries crispy for longer. FRY SCIENCE! Tip 2: The "small" fries is big enough for a man-sized craving. Anything larger is probably enough for 2 people. Or 1 fatty.

I was pleased to see clearly marked vegetarian items and elected to try the two they had in the location we visited. I literally had no idea what to do at first and sweat beaded on my forehead as I tried to not look like an absolute imbecile in front of the crowd that was in there. I felt their judgmental glare. I slipped my chosen items out of the window and stacked them on top of each other. We had a dessert stop to make on the way so the consumption of our treasure would have to wait. I do wish there is an option to have some sort of enclosed container for portability. When I finally was able to sink my teeth into it, it was one of the best things I've ever had. Don't ask me what I ordered because god only knows but both blobs were breaded with a very crispy crust and filled with a delicious filling. One of them is cheese, I'm pretty sure. I really had to harness all of my willpower to not destroy them immediately but they were meant to be a snack tomorrow on our way to the tulips. I will be going back again before we depart. Maybe more than once.

I didn't like that they put the ketchup on top of my fries. I like my ketchup on the side so I can dip them. They also charged $1 extra for ketchup. However, I did appreciate that the ketchup in Europe tastes more like tomatoes than sweetened corn syrup as it does here in America. I liked the outdoor seating. It was nice to people-watch, and I enjoyed the scenery. The fries themselves were okay, nothing special. I wasn't going to rate them as I only got the fries. However, I felt I could, based on the fries and service alone.
