L.A. Burger Amsterdam , Burgerbar Service & Kwaliteit — Restaurant in Amsterdam

Extremely poor service and very disappointing food. As a restaurant manager myself, I know what good service looks like, and sadly, this was far from it.

From the moment we arrived, the staff seemed disinterested. Most of the waiters were standing around the bar talking amongst themselves, not paying attention to the customers. No one came to check on us once during the entire meal… no “how’s everything?” or “can I get you anything else?”. Just completely absent.

My husband ordered a burger without onions, and instead of just removing the onion, they also removed the tomato. Who decided he didn’t want tomato? That kind of carelessness shows a lack of attention and basic communication.

The food itself was greasy and low effort. The “loaded potatoes” were basically frozen fries with a handful of unseasoned minced beef thrown on top. They were soggy, bland, and honestly looked like something thrown together without care. Zero taste, zero creativity.

When I ordered a Coke, the waiter only offered medium or large, as if small wasn’t even an option. When I asked for a small one, he looked annoyed and made no effort to adjust his attitude. The other waiter served me a burger soaked in sauce, so much that it completely masked the flavor of the meat. And the patty was so overcooked it bordered on dry. A good quality piece of meat ruined by poor execution.

We left without leaving a tip. And not because we’re stingy, I usually tip, even for decent service. But this time, I honestly felt it would’ve been undeserved. It’s a shame, because with better training and attention to detail, this place could do much better.

I hope management takes this seriously, because right now, both the food and service are way below...

After a nearly 24-hour journey to Amsterdam, my first instinct wasn’t to explore the city — it was to find something quick, comforting, and within a short walk from my hotel. L.A. Burger Amsterdam, sitting conveniently just around the corner, ticked all the boxes.

Service: The welcome was warm and friendly. This particular stretch of road is a hotbed for tourist-friendly eateries, all vying for attention, yet the staff here didn’t just smile for show — they delivered. From the moment I ordered to the moment my food arrived, it was less than 10 minutes. For a burger joint in a busy tourist zone, that’s impressive.

Food: I went for the Ultimate Bacon & Cheese Burger with a side of potato fries and a small Orange Juice. Honestly, it was one of the best burgers I’ve had anywhere — thick, juicy patty, well-seasoned, with smoky bacon and melting cheese wrapping everything together beautifully. The fries were textbook perfection: golden-brown and crunchy outside, pillowy inside. This was comfort food done right.

Price: Here’s where reality bites — my meal came to nearly €30, including a 10% tip (optional, but I felt a subtle nudge when the proprietor watched me tap my card). In the city’s more local neighborhoods, I could have enjoyed a similar set for €15–€20.

Verdict: If you’re in central Amsterdam and craving a reliably good burger without wanting to hunt around, L.A. Burger is a safe bet. Just be prepared to pay a “tourist location” premium for the...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at a charming restaurant in the city center. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the most delightful and attentive waitstaff. The waiters and waitresses were not only professional and efficient, but they also exuded warmth and friendliness that made me feel right at home.

The service throughout the evening was impeccable. The waitstaff anticipated my every need, ensuring that my dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. They patiently answered all of my questions about the menu and provided thoughtful recommendations.

Not only were the waitstaff attentive, but they also had a genuine passion for their work.

Their attention to detail, such as refilling my water glass without me even asking, truly impressed me.

I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience with...
