Scarecrow single
Valerie A.

I thought at first this place looked like a tourist trap but it was really quite lovely and I had a delicious burger. The owner is super into Wizard of Oz and there is memorabilia everywhere as well as some fun artwork. Make sure you check out the bathroom before you go. I would definitely recommend.

Burger and sweet potato fries
Charmie C.

This was recommended by the hotel. I couldn't believe I'd come to Amsterdam and my first meal would be a burger. Well, it was and it was good. The vibe inside is Oz - I didn't get the reference but lots of Wizard of names for the burgers and such. I got the most basic one and it was still loaded!! I ordered mine with sweet potato fries. Can quickly and really cooked to perfection - burger and fries. I dined solo so I was directed to the bar. Not the most comfortable seating but it wasn't terrible. This place is in the heart of the museum district so if you find yourself here after hitting up one of the museums, it's a good find for lunch or early dinner.

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

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.
Jessie W.

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.

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

Ruby red slippers

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.

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

They make you pay for water. They add a 15% service charge. My burger was a greasy mess. The toilets have essentially zero light.

We stopped here for a cocktail. We did not have reservations so we had to wait until something…read moreopened. The server brought over a pinkish liquid and I asked what it was. He said water, so I assumed it was it was tinted from the lighting. When I took a sip it was a flavored water. I asked if it was gluten-free and he was very rude in his response. Basically was like um yea it just has spices in it. Spices may not be gluten free and could be of concern for a celiac. I asked him if any drinks were gluten free and he said all but 2. 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. The server did come back and switch my water to regular at the end but he should have been upfront with what he gave to prevent any exposure to peoples allergies.

Flying Dutchmen is a really cool spot with great cocktails…read more I visited at 4 PM, shortly after opening, and got a table easily. It's a small space and can fill up quickly. The space is really cool, with some neat lit-up signs behind the bar and antique paintings on the ceiling. I tried a few cocktails and they were all tasty. These included the Flying Dutchmen -- their signature cocktail -- and the Umami Margarita. I was a bit hesitant about the Dutchmen because it was with gin and orange, but I liked it a lot. The margarita was unusual with some mushroom dust on the rim. Our server was very friendly and helpful.

Thanks to Iago from NJoy, we heard about this soeakeasy and decided to check it out. Reservations…read morerecommended. Carlota who answered the doorbell, was able to accommodate us at the bar (our preferred seating anyway). She took our coats, placed them in the coat closet up front and led us inside. Once seated, we were given gorgeous ruby red complimentary aperitif (hibiscus, honey, ginger). 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! I didn't post pictures of the entrance or inside because I'll leave it to you to discover! (The fun of a speakeasy).

Epic bar. Social, open until 3am, and overall a fun time. Unique cocktails that were quite tasty…read morewith various flavors and interesting serving cups. Good for small groups or just at the bar.

We ordered beef bitterballen to try this traditional Dutch comfort food. Meanwhile, my husband ordered their signature cocktail called "Beurre Noisette" old fashioned and I ordered a Dutch Negroni (Negronis are my favorite drink to order wherever I go). Both were delicious! Meanwhile, we chatted with Iago the bartender, and Lily the manager. We learned more about Amsterdam and why so many people come here from elsewhere in Europe to work. Iago was super fun to talk to. He'd lived in Amsterdam for 7 years and It was only his first week here at NJoy. He was skilled as a bartender, being able to mix fabulous cocktails and also hold an interesting conversation at the same time. We'd go back just to be able to talk with him again, such a friendly bartender, very attentive, and professional. The beef bitterballen was so hot we had to wait a bit to try it. It comes with savory mustard that is better than any mustard I've tried before. Not sure why. The bitterballen were crispy fried with beef ragú inside. I'm not a fan myself but am glad I tried it. NJoy is elegant and romantic and cozy. There's another bar downstairs with a disco ball above. It would be fantastic to host a celebration event here. Their cocktails are memorable!
