OMG! Burger — Restaurant in Amsterdam

Pros: great tasting food and warm greetings Cons: sneaky upcharges and pricier than an across-the-street competitor

Giving 3 stars was a TOUGH choice. The food is AMAZING! But after receipt-checking and trying a competitor (Oh My Buns), my initial 5-stars fell a bit from grace.

Comparison Price: OMG was 24€ for a burger with fries and sauce on the side to dip. Oh My Buns was 20€ for the same size burger and fries PLUS a soda and ketchup/mayo (free). OMG has an amazing burger, and the fries are chef's kiss. The burger is thick and the sauce is plentiful. We were literally groaning eating this feast our first night here. By the end of our trip, we tried the Deluxe, VIP, and The Smokey. There is an up charge to get ketchup or additional condiments for your fries which is normal in Amsterdam (ketchup was 1,50€ and mayo was 1,75€ for a teeny cup. We were also up charged 1€ for a bun that really should have come with the hamburger -this is where sneaky up-charges come in. Other reviewers noted being uncharged even more for said bun. A can of pop is 4€ (keep your peepers peeled, we've found them at other restaurants for 1€ a can). I was curious to compare burgers and tried Oh My Buns. We tried the triple fatty meal. The burger here consisted of three smash patties instead of one large burger. The meat had great flavor. I do wish it had had a little more sauce. The fries were not as good as OMG's -but I like that the meal included a pop and the dipping sauces were free. Final conclusion: we did like the flavor of OMG a bit better for both the fries and burgers. This said, there was a 5€ difference in price -Oh My Buns was cheaper and the soda & sauces were free. You can choose to get just the burger and fries from Oh My Bun and it would be 8€ cheaper (if you’re comparing burger and fries prices only). 2,50€ soda at Oh My Bun's; 4€ soda at OMG. So it's a toss up. I would definitely go to both places again. Side note; you do get a few more fries at OMG with takeaway which is awesome. I recommend OMG a smidge more on flavor even through I really like the smash patties at Oh My Bund -but the sneaky bun up charge at OMG really bothers me. It seems opportunistic and taking advantage of tourists. Versus Oh My Bun who had no sneaky up charges and instead offers free fry condiments. I’d prob more consistently visit Oh My Buns for the price -but you should also...

Excellent food! Excellent service!

We loved it so much, we went back the second day for more. The omelette, scrambled eggs, fries, and oriental breakfast were incredible. The waitress was a very friendly Canadian girl who was helpful, courteous, and efficient.

The scenery is also great. The terrace gives you a nice view of the street and the typical Amsterdam houses there. A great way to enjoy their awesome coffee.

It's a little pricey, but in line with Amsterdam standards and cheaper than a hotel breakfast. A breakfast for two with coffee cost us about 40 euro, but could have been 30 euro if we had gotten cheaper meals. Expect to spend a minimum of 25-30 euros unless you opt for a simple fruit bowl and croissant for 12 euro with a coffee for another 3 or 4.

If I'm in Amsterdam again, I'll definitely be going back.

Highly recommend the oriental...

Possibly the worst experience I had in a restaurant. After we were seated we were told to order by the counter, which we did. After a few minutes, a server came and told us again to order by the counter and then was confused after we told him we already did. After a long wait, it turned out our burgers were prepared to-go and were waiting on the front desk for quite some time. “Kindly” we were allowed to consume it at our table despite this. The Smokey burger did not contain any sauce and was very dry. The joppi sauce - which was listed as 0,80€ - cost us 1,20€ for some reason. The other sauce order was just wrong (we received a weird ketchup-mayo combination instead of “special curry”). Later, we ordered another joppi sauce and it cost 1,00€. Overall, the servers were not-existent, the food was bad and the prices...
