    beef patty was small, but flame-grilled
    Tung D.

    The burger was okay. Very limited seating. For the price, the meat patty was a bit small. It was thick but small. They flame grill the meat patty so it was flavorful! A bit on the expensive side compared to burgers in the U.S. I think I got a cheese burger with bacon for almost 15EUR

    The butcher- prime Aberdeen beef, lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, gherkins, & the butcher sauce
    Laura W.

    On recommendation from our Air BnB hosts, my husband and I had dinner at The Butcher and were extremely pleased with our meals. This particular location has very limited seating so you may need to wait for a seat. We were, luckily, able to grab two seats right before our food was served. Order at the counter and it will be brought to you. The ingredients are very fresh and everything is made to order. I had the Butcher (prime Aberdeen Angus beef, lettuce, tomato, gherkin, grilled onions, and butcher sauce. Cooked to a perfect medium, very hefty in size- definitely surpassed burgers I've had stateside. The butcher sauce was comparable to a spicy chipotle mayonnaise sauce. My husband had the Benedict (prime Aberdeen Angus beef, ham, fried egg, lettuce, tomato, and Hollandaise sauce), which was also cooked to a perfect medium. Both burgers were juicy and were well-contained in their buns. We split an order of frites, and found it to be plenty for two. Mayonnaise and-gasp-ketchup are both available for use. I was quite impressed with the freshness and quality, as well as the price of our meal. I would definitely return again and would recommend anyone visiting to see out The Butcher for delicious and hearty burgers!

    In Amsterdam, I was trying to find a really good juicy burger. Now being that it's an American dish, I felt like it could go either way. I could find a really good burger, or a really lousy one. Turns out, the butcher is THE burger spot in Amsterdam. I love my meat all juicy and pink and this burger was cooked to perfection. Bite after bite was just too good. I was so hungry and this food was exactly what I needed. I ordered fries and chicken poppers as my sides. Chicken was super juicy and they used white meat! (Personally not a fan of dark chicken) I love that they have an open air kitchen and you can see all the fresh ingredients they're using. The team looked like they knew how to work together which was appreciated because the line started to get long once I was finished with my meal! If you're looking for a bomb juicy burger -- look no further. This place has plenty of space. Smoke a joint, eat a burger, live your best Dutch life!!

    Burger with their special sauce. Added a fried egg and onions
    Christina R.

    We came here our first day in Amsterdam and after a night of traveling their burgers and fries totally hit the spot! We stumbled upon this place on yelp and it wasn't too far so gave it a try. I actually expected it to be more of a sit down full restaurant, but this location is not. I think the full sit down restaurant of the same name/chain is on the north side by the Amsterdam tower. This location is in de Pijp area and is sort of like a mini shake shack - open kitchen, only seating for probably 10-12 people. Despite being disappointed in the atmosphere at first, the food was amazing! My boyfriend and I got different burgers but both were amazing. I got the burger with their special sauce on it and added a fried egg and onions. It was amazing. We also shared their fries and the regular order was huge! They were super hot, crispy on the outside, soft in the inside. Super perfect. Overall, an excellent burger and fries in a very casual setting.

    Veggie burger and fries, very good
    Chantel M.

    We ate a lot of burger in Europe.. Not sure why but it was delicious! Restaurants in Amsterdam close so early, be cautious about that! We were exploring Yelp and found this spot open past 10 PM, we were starving so we walked two miles to get it. The service was great and the food came out hot and fast! I ordered the veggie burger with truffle mayo and fries, it was so good! Delicious fries (really some of the best fries I have ever had were in Amsterdam, every corner there are fries and they are all amazing!) The milkshakes looked and sounded amazing, I love the fun names of all the burgers as well!

    This burger is like sex, except I'm having it
    Ryan N.

    Have you ever had a burger that made you sweat while you ate it? Have you ever had a burger make you moan louder than the sex you're not having? Boy howdy do I have the place for you in Amsterdam! This place quite simply. Rocks. This is hands down, the best burger I've ever had in my life. And I'm from the United States! Truffle Burger is my poison of choice here. Everything is so fresh and delicious, I have to keep wiping the drool off of my mouth as I write this...because I'm thinking about the burger I just finished. There are a couple of locations in Amsterdam, but this is the only one I've ever been to. I promise you, you have never had a burger like this before. Pro tip - hit up a coffee shop before hand to help make you hungry. These are thick burgers and can have some difficulty finishing them without some assistance.

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.

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!

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.

One thing I've noticed here is that the bread is always high quality--our sandwiches came in baguettes about 8 inches long --I had to cut mine in half to eat it lol. Both were savory and flavorful and satisfying. The meat was tender and well seasoned. We savored every bite! They both had crispy bacon in them as well. Very filling!
