It was quite calm when my friend and I came in at 4:30 pm, one of the servers told us that usually it's packed by then so we we're very lucky. The noise therefore was non-consistent. It only started to get a bit busier around 18 pm when a large group arrived. The atmosphere was beautiful, they have a beautiful ceiling mural where sadly the smoke detector is off center 😅. The atmosohere is amazing, everything is Wizard of Oz themed which is a fun little touch. The burger was absolutely amazing! My friend enjoyed it and I absolutely loved it. The bun tasted fine, just a gluten free bun. The service was really fast, we got both our burgers ca. 10 minutes after ordering (probably because it was so quiet, but still). We also had a fries at the side with mayo and they charged us €1.50 extra for the mayo. I would definitely recommend this place and will come here again.
we went to the van Gogh museum and were hungry. we had no idea the Burger bar was wizard of Oz themed. we love the drinks. their basic drinks. they don't deviate much from the menu but they don't really need to cuz the food is epic. we skip dessert cuz we already had dessert plans somewhere else, here at the fries cuz the burgers were huge! we entirely recommend this place. they also have onion rings that well. we didn't try them. we saw them at another table and they looked phenomenal. don't shy away from the peanut sauce burger. the scarecrow is your basic burger with cheddar and bacon. you don't have to have bacon in it if you don't want and you can add a fried egg, sour pickles and other options. 10/10 recommend.
Top marks from me — and I'm genuinely picky when it comes to burgers. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, with a really inviting atmosphere. The staff are friendly and attentive throughout. We had reserved a table for three. There is a €10-per-person deposit required at the time of booking, which is a bit unusual, but it's simply credited toward your bill at the end of the meal — so no actual extra cost. For the food, we ordered burgers, a blooming onion, fries, and a selection of sauces. After a short wait, everything arrived and it was simply perfect: the ingredients were fresh, the flavors well balanced, and every bite was a pleasure. This place is firmly saved in my favorites — I'll definitely be back.
We really enjoyed our visit! The Wizard of Oz theme gave the restaurant such a nice atmosphere and made the whole experience feel unique and cozy. We made a reservation for the afternoon, but it probably wasn’t necessary at that time — although I can imagine it can get busy in the evening. One small thing: it would have been even more fun if the music matched the Oz/Wicked theme too, but that’s just a minor detail. We ordered the Scarecrow and Munchkin burgers with truffle fries and pulled pork fries. Everything was very tasty, and I especially loved the Munchkin burger option because you can try 3 different burgers at the same time. We didn’t try the cocktails, but the selection looked really good. Our waitress (I think her name was Abigele) was very nice and attentive. We’re looking forward to coming back and would definitely recommend this place!
What a cute little hidden gem! The dining area was on theme and tastefully curated with the Wizard of Oz decor. The staff was super friendly and attentive. The food came out very quickly and wow, for a burger spot, this place was AMAZING! The burger flavors were fresh, flavorful, and the portion was massive! Had to add truffle fries and I can't say enough great things. All the ingredients are so fresh and everything is of course made to order. If you're in Amsterdam I highly recommend stopping in! They do have a fun list of cocktails that looked fun and delicious, but I did not try one so I can't speak to the taste, but if it's anything like the rest of this place, it'll be wonderful!
