I visited this place at the end of September 2025 for a morning lunch. My aim were the hot chicken wings, and my order consisted of 1/2 kilo portion of chicken wings with the Louisiana-style hot sauce, potato wedges, and some strawberry juice (Looza).
The juice was great! It's not like I just received juice, there was ice and slices of lime. My goodness, I haven't gotten so much attention to a drink in a while and at the price they serve it at, that is a 5+/5. Shame I can't give 6/5.
About the wings, I am sorry to say this: they felt undercooked to me, and were also devoid of any crispiness that is so characteristic for hot wings. Also, they were served quite cold compared to the potato wedges. The dish was completely dominated by the sour smell and taste of the Louisiana-style hot sauce, whilst I preferred to also feel some taste of the juice from the wings once I got inside, which I couldn't get a slightest hint of. The sauce hotness seemed all right from what I read about it. My belly disagreed with this meal, due to what felt to me like under-prepared and relatively cold-served chicken. That is a 2/5 altogether for the wings. In terms of presentation, one of those paper packs was sticking to a wing (check the image), which was not a great first impression.
Potato wedges were really hot in temperature. I've left them for after the wings, and they were still searing hot. I assume that is good. The seasoning was quite good on them, it must be quite a feat to make it stick so well. What I was missing, however, is moisture in those potatoes. They were quite dry and have felt like sand on the inside. My belly also disagreed with their dryness. That is a 2/5 altogether for the potatoes. In terms of presentation, this has a nice touch. I got potatoes in a newspaper-like wrap, with two sauces.
The cost of those items was very much all right; fair for the quantity of the dishes. The exception was the juice, where the price was on the generous side. Very nice offer in terms of quantity for the price!
This bright space, although relatively mid- to small-sized, has quite a vibe. The colors are bright, the walls are covered in musical album covers, and there is even a mirror ball on the ceiling! The music is on the mid-loud side, but it's possible to have a conversation. The atmosphere must be the selling point here, 5/5.
The staff interactions were okay. I would say possibly a bit distant, but okay! 4/5
I would say the cleanliness of the place is around 4/5; I've noticed some dirt on the floor around my table, but overall it was fine.
So, I can't judge the lunch based on the drink, so together with the fair price and the whole rest of the package it's about 3/5 for this place. The food alone would have been a clean 2/5 from me, it has a long way to go and I think it is the main...
Read moreMy boyfriend and I discovered Belushi’s in Amsterdam whilst looking online for a place to go for food that was also showing the Champions League Final in Madrid (01/06/2019). We got to Belushi’s about 19:25 and it was already incredibly busy with hardly any tables available. We waited a little while before a group of 4 lads said we could join onto the end of their table of 6 as they no longer needed the 2 extra seats. We had a look at the menu and all of the food we had seen coming out looked delicious. We ordered our food and drinks at the same time because it was very busy. I chose to have the Chicken Schnitzel Tower Burger which was €14 and came with fries and my boyfriend chose the Chicken Parmi-Giana (breaded chicken breast topped with Napoli sauce and melted cheese, served with fries and salad) which was also €14. Considering it was really busy the service from the staff was still really food and our drinks came back to our table very quickly and shortly after our food also came to the table so we didn’t have a long wait. The food came out hot and fresh and tasted amazing! The chicken was lovely and the salad was fresh. The fries tasted nice and were cooked well. We did have to ask for more ketchup as it was only a small pot and an extra set of cutlery but the staff again got this to us very quickly. We ordered some more drinks before the football started and watched the football game. The screen to watch the football on was big and clear and the sound was also just at the right level. The atmosphere in Belushi’s was great and we had a really good night. Before the end of the football staff had started to come round with bills for the tables for people to pay which I thought was a food idea and then anything people ordered after that point they paid for straight away. Overall I was really impressed with Belushi’s in regards to the staff, food/drinks and atmosphere, a lovely place that I would definitely go back to...
Read moreI recently had the pleasure of visiting Belushi's bar in Amsterdam, and I must say, it's a fantastic spot, especially for sports enthusiasts and those craving some delicious American-style food. Here's the lowdown on my experience:
My friends and I decided to check out Belushi's on a Sunday night, hoping to catch some American football action. To our surprise, the place was absolutely packed, which was a testament to its popularity among both locals and visitors.
Despite arriving just before 11pm, we learned that the kitchen was closing down. This limited our food options, but we were more than happy with what we managed to get. The bar food we tried was top-notch and perfect for a night out. The vibe inside was excellent, and the decor showed off a great sense of humor.
Belushi's also impressed us with its inclusive menu, offering vegetarian options alongside classic American fare. If you're planning a visit to Belushi's, I'd highly recommend trying the Wings Sweet Chilli Chicken, Southern Chicken Tenders, and Onion Rings – they're all winners in my book. For me, the standout dish has to be the chicken wings – they're a must-try.
In summary, Belushi's is a hidden gem in the heart of Amsterdam, especially for those seeking sports entertainment, mouthwatering American-style food, and a lively atmosphere. The combination of tasty dishes, an extensive drinks menu, and a fun ambiance makes it well worth a visit. I'm looking forward to returning the next time I'm in Amsterdam, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to others looking for a...
