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.

I love the different variation of sauces that you could choose from. I got the standard mayo and my friend got the ketchup/curry which were both very different so seems appealing to whatever mood you are in! I have had Belgium fries in Brussels but honestly I found this to be much better. The truffle croquettes were VERY crispy on the outside and the filling brought me to flavor town. The truffle was very prominent and the sauce melded perfectly with the crisp exterior. The staff is super friendly and knowing that it was our first time trying the spot checked to see if we liked the food. It might seem like a snack but it was pretty heavy so great bang for your buck! I highly recommend stopping by here if you're in the area.

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.

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.

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.

Since 1945. Van Dobben is most famous for croquettes, but also for its typical Amsterdam "broodje"…read moresandwiches. It's the most classic Dutch sandwich bar I have found in town, and almost everything is homemade. I think this is my favorite classic Dutch "fast food" restaurant in Amsterdam, mainly because my mother grew up in Holland and she always used to talk about eating steak tartare broodje with hard boiled egg, onion and mayonnaise in the 1950s. Their homemade steak tartare broodje is outstanding. The homemade Dutch pea soup is only available during cold months and it's also fabulous. In summer they have a mushroom soup, but I haven't tried it yet. If you wanna be really Dutch, order a glass of buttermilk with your broodjie. They also have regular milk and lots of soft drinks. It's just classic and delcious traditional Dutch food; really good and so fresh and you can watch it being made. Everyone that works here is also so nice. Try the kipsaté croquette which tastes like a Thai saté stick. Don't forget the yellow mustard. The server may tell you it makes it taste even better. So fun to sit at the bar counter inside, and they do have a few tables outside for sunny days. I love the decor, the funny expressions about croquettes on the tiles, and the super 1950s black-and-white photos from the restaurant on the walls. This is such a wonderful place and every time I come to Amsterdam I make a pilgrimage here. It's also on a really nice and slightly diagonal street, right in the city center, that still has its old charm. They have the full menu and also a small "classics" menu; one thing I've never tried, but would like to next time, is the curry chicken salad.
