    Truffle mac n cheese, pulled pork fries, if only I had a heart
    Maggie W.

    Very kitschy Wizard of Oz themed burger joint next to all the touristy spots in Amsterdam! Definitely for the American crowd, they know their audience and opened in prime real estate. Unfortunately, part of the reason I know why this is catered towards Americans is that they have a mandatory 15% surcharge. This would not fly in traditional Europe. Unfortunately, as a Bay native, I will say that I am used to this. I will say, the quality of the food was really good. If you're craving a place with a bit of flair and high quality ingredients while also having a taste of home after consistently eating your way through European cuisine on your vacation, this is the spot for you. My boyfriend and I got the if I only had a heart, along with the truffle mac n cheese and fries with pulled pork. I can feel my arteries clogging as I type this out. The pulled pork was plentiful and quite sweet; it went well with the fries after being mixed in. This did prove a tad difficult to do without creating a mess, since the container was on the smaller side. The truffle mac n cheese was creamy and not watery, just the way my boyfriend and I like it. The burgers themselves are probably some of the best, we've never had avocado and tortilla chips in a burger for free (granted, this is already baked into the retail price). The veggies are fresh, and each bite you take has such an insane amount of texture and flavor packed in it. So savory and indulgent. I took a photo with my hand for scale just to show how difficult it can be to get all of that in one bite!

    Freakshake is enormous.  The cookies are a bit hard and you will need a fork and knife to dig in. It's good but definitely shareable

    First, let me start by saying it is pricey. They charge for still water and condiments (read:ketchup) is considered a "sauce" at €1,5. Hubby and I shared "The Scarecrow" which is double 180g beef patty,!brioche, crispy bacon, cheddar cheese, carmelized onions, pickle, tomato and romaine lettuce (€26/46 for wagyu). We added avocado for €3 and regular fries which are hand cut daily at €7,5. For desert, we ordered a chocolate shake (€7,5) and upgraded to a "freakshake" (€7). The interior decor is very cool and has a nice vibe to it. A definite must-try restaurant and we are glad we stopped in. We are even happier that we shared the entire meal because it is a LOT of food. Total bill for one hamburger, one order of fries, ketchup, a shake, the jitterbug iced tea and a beer: €70,50 + 15% surcharge is ........€81,08 Overall impression: Worth it!!

    After a long day walking around the city, we found this cute themed restaurant very close to the Van Gogh and Rijksmusuem. A relaxed room with interesting decor. Staff were friendly and helpful with suggestions. I tried the waygu burger sampler with three sliders. Excellent tasting burgers. The table shred a prefer of fries. My gf had a burger of her own design and loved it. All burgers were cooked to order (medium rare). We'd definitely stop back when next in Amsterdam.

    I stumbled upon The Burger Room when I was in the museum district during my holiday in Amsterdam. They have an Alice in Wonderland theme at their restaurant. Don't get it twisted,The Burger Room is a high end burger spot. I ordered the Back to Kansas burger(14 Euros) with the waygu beef upgrade(An Extra 10 Euros) with fries. The burger was good not great. It could have been more flavorful for the high price of it. I didn't taste a major difference with the waygu beef upgrade and it was cooked well done. It should have been cooked to medium or they should have asked how I wanted it cooked. The fries were nice and crispy as expected(they love good and crispy fries in Amsterdam).The Yellow Brick Road cocktail(15.5 Euros)was very refreshing and worth the money in my opinion. The service itself was very good and I did like the decor. The major issue was the 15% surcharge they are going to charge you. The food is a little overpriced for what you receive. It's an okay spot that I would not revisit the next time I'm on holiday in Amsterdam.

    Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow...at The Burger Room Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore..but if you want delicious burgers in a Wizard of Oz-themed eatery, you've come to the right place. Our server told us that the owner is a huge Wizard of Oz fan (and very tall as well) and you'll note it in the menu, the decor, and of course, the downstairs. I had the Cyclone burger (black angus) which comes with foie gras, truffle mayo on a brioche bun. It was juicy, decadent and delicious. We shared an order of fries (very good). The burgers came out very fast, were towering on the plate, I ate it with a knife and fork (we fancy). The food was good, the ambience is fun. They brought us mini burger candies at the end and sent us off with stroopwaffles too. Whether you are an Oz fan (I am) or not, a meal Somewhere Over the Rainbow may be exactly what you need!

    How is it possible that the best burger I've ever had in my life was in Amsterdam? I've eaten burgers in the American South East and if you were to challenge a Texan that the Dutch could take the prize for best burger from a roadhouse outside of Dallas or Houston where the perfecting of beef for the highly discerning public falls somewhere between art and religion, they would scoff, shake their heads, smile, and offer a kind "bless your heart" in response. In a past lifetime, I worked in Texas for years. Burgers, BBQ, Beer.... Brilliant. I never would have believed it had I not walked by The Burger Room after being truly amazed by priceless artwork a few steps away at the Van Gogh museum and suggested we go inside. So now, when I think of Dutch cuisine, I won't forget the Bitterballen, the Pannekoeken, the Kibbeling, or the Stroopwafels... nor will I forget the burgers.

    The Burger Room is located right near the Van Gogh museum. The decor theme is "The Wizard of Oz" - some interesting photos and memorabilia, but I'm not sure what the burger connection. The decor and prices are upscale for a burger joint. One can choose between Wagyu and angus beef for a burger. The Wagyu is twice the price. We all tried the Wagyu. The burgers were good but I have had better. For those who do not want beef, there are veggie burgers and chicken sandwiches. 19 year old loved the chicken sandwich. The restaurant charges extra for everything-ketchup, pickles, sauces. It all adds up. Service was super fast. We enjoyed our meal but not worth the over $200 price tag. Next time I would try the angus beef!

    After an all night flight, minus sleep, nothing better than one of the best hamburgers I've ever eaten. Playful decor, food and drink names/descriptions. And a tiny itty biddy cheeseburger to take home.

    Kansas burgers: one soy patty and one angus with guacamole. Regular fries.

    Very fun Oz themed burger joint with incredible burgers! The decor is fun and dark either way wood panels and lots of green. The service was variable, some servers were more attentive and polite than others. There's a full bar. And get ready to pay for water and condiments! But it's worth it.

    The drinks were excellent and the burgers delicious. The truffle Mac and cheese was also excellent. Chatted briefly with the owner who was very excited to hear we were from Kansas. The wizard of oz theme came from his love of the movie and there are some nice touches of the film sprinkled throughout the restaurant.

    So much seating
    Dee C.

    Oh it's a super cute place. That's about it. If you're going because you want to take photos, do it. Don't go for the staff! Run in the opposite direction! Food, you can find better at FEBO! Meh. Let's start when we walked in, shall we?! My daughter is a dual citizen. So, she goes into a NL establishment speaking Nederland. Don't. The guy there is extremely rude about NOT speaking it. Okay as an Ami, I get it. It's Wizard of Oz themed. Based in Kansas. But, you're in NL I expect it to be a THEME based thing, maybe speak the native language. His demeanor was just rude. We saw & heard him be arrogantly rude to two other customers after us. It just left a bad vibe. Now the waitress just acted like she was called in on her day off, & her pay was cut in addition. I'm sure that's not the case, but it felt that way. The food was warm & okay. I enjoyed going with my daughter. Would I ever go back or recommend this place? Absolutely not, but simply based on the staff, not the food. The food was ok. Replace the staff, & I could see a big improvement. Period. Also, with so much seating, maybe let customers sit further apart & not right next to one another. Neat place Mediocre food Staff sucked

    The Waygu burger trio, Parmesan fries, and the Good Witchcraft drink!!
    Camela A.

    We got right in despite not having a reservation!! We had a blast with our server - Thomas!! The Parmesan Truffle fries - perfect!!

    Slider combo
    Sandy M.

    Very very good and quirky burger shop in the museum district in Amsterdam. There is am Alice in wonderland theme which is very fun and done in an exaggerated way. My husband is a big burger guy and loved his slider assortment. I loved my Kansas burger, fresh, juicy and perfectly cooked. Our friends enjoyed theirs as well, another slider sampler and a salad. This is a great spot for lunch in Amsterdam, a bit expensive as everything including Mayo is an extra charge, but it's excellent if burgers are your thing and worth a splurge once in a while. There cocktails were also very good, generous sized and the right mix. If back in Amsterdam we would definitely go back, solid 4 star spot.

I wasn't confident that the drinks would be made separately from the non- gluten drinks so I opted not to get one. My friend got the bees knees and said it was really tasty.

I got the Beeswax Old Fashioned(17 Euros).It was very good and a nice twist on an old fashioned. My second drink was the Paradiso Manhattan(17 Euros) and it was a tasty cocktail with something extra. It came with a piece of chocolate that was made with mushroom powder. They paired well together. I can't give it five stars for one reason. The drinks were very good,but they were a little weak. I felt very little to nothing after my second drink. I'm not a big drinker and I have a low tolerance for alcohol. The drinks need to be a little stronger. More of a kick to them. I would still recommend Super Lyan to anyone that has the pleasure of visiting Amsterdam on holiday.

The drink menu is interesting, based on the concept of growing up, with more basic tastes to start and more mature complex tastes later on in life. (The drinks are more complex the later in the menu). I ordered the Awake at Last, and my husband ordered the Ruby Stone. Mine was sweet and coffee flavored and his was more tart and sour cherry flavored. When I tried his drink, I immediately felt nostalgic because it reminded me of umeboshi (pickled plum in Japanese food), so we ended up trading drinks. Both were great for supping. Sitting at the bar was fun, watching the bartender at his work. He was silent, focused, skilled, professional. So glad we checked it out!

Our wait was very short, and someone promptly came, greeted us and took us to our seats at the bar. Because a reservation, I believe is required, (not 200% about that), we were wondering if it would be a bit stuffy. It was not at all, everyone that we spoke to was very friendly, and great service at the bar. There were other couch settings and a few different set ups, but as usual, we love the bar.

Tucked on an old…read morecanal in a historic inn, it feels less like a bar and more like a small salon devoted to Dutch drinking culture. The rooms read like a cabinet of curiosities: intimate, storyful, quietly romantic. The team centers Dutch spirits, especially genever, and treats the menu as a narrative rather than a list of brands. Seasonal themes frame the drinks by flavor profile and history, and even the snacks stay in character, with simple Dutch-leaning bites that support what's in the glass instead of competing with it. The craft is serious. Most of the cocktails look disarmingly plain in the glass. No umbrellas, no edible terrariums, no theatrics for their own sake. Then you take a sip and the bouquet opens in layers, and the mid palate carries on a long arc that rewards attention. It is the rare bar where you keep drinking more slowly because the drink keeps revealing itself. The menu is a pleasure to read on its own, the kind you can happily peruse between sips as you decide whether to follow the thread of genever, lean into a vermouth frame, or chase something herbal and saline. Service is warm and informed without hovering, which suits the room's scale and keeps the experience personal. Practicalities shape the vibe in a good way. It is small and seating-only, which preserves the hush. Entry skews first-come, and the crowd trends grown-up and conversation-forward rather than boisterous. Taken together, it adds up to a bar with a clear voice and a point of view: unassuming appearances, rigorous composition, deep roots in Dutch tradition. If you love elegant, sophisticated and distinctive cocktails, this is a destination.
