Burgerbar Warmoesstraat — Restaurant in Amsterdam

May 2022 experience: Having seen the high score, I visited this place in May 2022. Let's deep-dive into it. One might possibly have a better experience if they do a takeout order, and eat at their own place. If I were able to do that, it would have added one point to the score (+1).

This place is located on a busy street, in a very attractive location in Amsterdam.

Here is some of the self-service etiquette I observed: I received drinks in their original emballage, and the glass, ice, and lemon slices are available — if you want them, just take them yourself. It is the same with utensils — you will get the food, and if you want utensils, take them yourself. You will get a buzzer disc, which will buzz when the food is ready. No rating for this, it is just information.

With that out of the way, let's get to the common review. The staff was very professionally-friendly. That is 5/5.

The music is on the moderately loud side. I couldn't have a good conversation in here. Also, the space is on the small side, and relatively uncomfortable. Ambient: 2/5.

My order consisted of a Cheesy Burger (burger + fries), with BBQ sauce and some Coca-Cola. The portion is on the tight side for the price, and overall the taste had the note of something not on the menu... see, the Cheesy Burger has at least two types of cheese, caramelized onions, and arugula. What I tasted was some sour-sweet note that — in my intuition — translates as something wrong with the meat, which I will attribute to my individual interpretation. Anyway, I expected a meaty and cheesy taste from this burger, and that did not happen. Fries were on the ashy side in terms of taste. The drinks were standard. I am afraid that, altogether, this is 1/5 to...

During our visit to Amsterdam, we decided to try Burger Bar, known for its selection of tasty burgers. While our experience was generally positive, there were a few aspects that left room for improvement.

We opted for the Deluxe Burger Wagyu, which offered a promising combination of flavors. The burger itself had good taste and quality, showcasing the richness of the Wagyu beef. However, we were disappointed to find that it was cooked to a well-done level, resulting in a slightly overcooked patty. The desired medium-rare or medium level of doneness, which would have preserved the juiciness and tenderness, was unfortunately missed.

On a brighter note, the fries served at Burger Bar were delightful. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, they were a satisfying accompaniment to the burgers. The well-seasoned fries added an extra layer of flavor to the overall meal and were a definite highlight.

The atmosphere at Burger Bar was pleasant and inviting. The restaurant had a casual and laid-back vibe, perfect for enjoying a burger with friends or family. The seating arrangements were comfortable, and the friendly staff added to the welcoming ambiance.

If you're looking for a standard burger experience, Burger Bar delivers in terms of taste and variety. However, it's important to note that the level of doneness for the burgers may not always meet expectations. If you prefer your burger cooked to a specific degree, it's advisable to communicate your preference clearly when...

Update 17.03.: I received a voucher and gave them another chance.

The burger is very well done. I recommend, quick, tasty, good money-to-value!

First review:

I cannot rate the food as I wasn‘t able to try it.

The staff is unfriendly, slow, not professional. I own cafes myself, hence I know a bit about customer care and also how things can be stressy. However, when I entered the restaurant approx only 4 tables were occupied and rather little was going on.

I asked for how long it‘ll take to prepare the food: 15 mins. Perfect, I had a train leaving in 30 mins. So I ordered food to take away.

After roughly 13 mins I wanted to check in about the status. The waiter told me ‚you only ordered 13 mins ago. I told you it’s 15.‘ I kindly told him that I just try to check in about the status. He answered ‚it‘s in preparation, another 7-8 mins‘

This would mean that I miss the train if I wait for the food. So I told him that I need to leave now and he can enjoy my burger (which I already paid) and I left the store.

As stated above: I cannot rate the food. But I can rate the service. It‘s 0 stars. When I see a busy customer I take my time in a non-stressful environment in order to assist. This person today failed high times. And playing cool didn‘t help at all. It‘s not cool to treat customers like unwelcomed. His whole appearance was ‘I don’t care’

Thanks for nothing. I‘d be happy if you donate a menu to a homeless person or something.
