Anyhoo, I love just about anything that is fried. So of course, De Frietketel is right up my alley. We managed to stop by twice during our stay in Gent. It's fast food and it's cheap. Enough said. The fries are delish and the portion is huge. We also had Bitterballen, Bicky Burger & Bicky Rib. All were good. We stood in a fairly long line once. You order, get a number and pick up your food when called. The folks here are friendly and helpful. The place gets full with college kids. Cheap eats! Seating can be hard to get, but we never had a problem. Don't come in expecting gourmet and you won't be disappointed.

We were in Ghent for a day tour. My husband and I are strict vegetarians, which is fun in a country…read morelike Belgium where it's not all that common. In addition to that, we don't eat onions, garlic, leeks, or chives (it makes it that much more fun). I did my research and found out that Ghent was supposedly the most vegetarian-friendly city in Belgium so I made a list (not long at all) and this place made it. Then I found out that they would be stopping in our next city for lunch so when we were let out to roam, we walked the 16 minutes from our starting point to get sustenance before our meet up time. It's fairly easy to find with a GPS and we got to see some of the back roads. Thankfully, they had recently opened and though I would have preferred to dine in, we needed to hoof it back to the group so we asked for the items to be bagged. Their menu is clearly posted on the wall. There were two guys working and the guy taking our order knew English (thank you). After explaining our restrictions and confirming that their fries are vegetarian (YES), we ended up ordering the walnut burger (he said it was their popular item) and their broccoli burger with veganaise (it's extra) along with an order of large fries, which he said would be more than enough to share. The patties were deep fried and placed in these white buns along with lettuce and tomatoes and very generous dollops of mayo (I guess I can't really complain about paying for the condiments then). They each got their styrofoam container and were very well sized. I watched him grab a paper container only slightly bigger than my hand, fill it with fries, place it on some food grade paper, then he topped it off... until you couldn't see the paper container anymore. In went a good almost 1/3 cup container of mayo and the entire thing was wrapped in paper before he tore a small hole at the top to let out some steam. I had a couple of fries fresh from the fryer on the way back. They are unsalted and were quite good. With the mayo, it added something extra and perhaps more vessel clogging properties to my bill of "health". When we got close to the meeting place, we sat down and wolfed down our burgers. They were good and quite filling. There was a huge walnut in my patty that hadn't processed completely and it was delicious - not all too seasoned but still good. I would have liked to add pickles next time for extra acidity. Hubby's broccoli patty was well seasoned and I didn't see much green from broccoli but I saw something that might have been carrots. It was good as well and could do without added acidity. Turns out mine was made in-house but his wasn't. In the end, I'm glad I finally got a taste of (vegetarian) Belgian fries as well as something of good nutritional value for lunch. I'm also very thankful to this place for giving us edible choices (just because something's vegetarian still doesn't mean we can eat it). It's also reasonably priced! Yay!

The fries were nice but nothing special. They have good belgian beers. The place itself is quite nice, modern, black-and-grey kinda atmostphere. Service was kind and efficient. A good spot!

Ditto to the other yelpers, perfect location and spot for people watching when outside, but the interiors is fairly big, but I'd imagine you'd run into trouble with larger groups. I feel like this place took a page from the UK's version of "bacon" on my burger. It wasn't crispy, or fatty, it was just a round ham-like imposter. I didn't think this kind of bacon faux pas would existing in Belgium as my hotel up the way had real bacon. Despite the Bacon abnormalities - really enjoyed this place and would definitely come to another one in any of the other locations the Benelux areas.
