Ordered the Truffle Wagyu Burger, which caught my eye when I was looking at the menu outside the restaurant. This did NOT disappoint at all. You can tell when a burger is made with some really good meat quality. This was readily apparent here because they were not afraid to cook this medium rare. It really doesn't get better than this! Staff were very friendly here! Even reposted my Instagram stories very quickly! One of my favorite things to do in Amsterdam is to walk around and find a great place to eat. Add another one to that list!

Busy lunch hours seemed to be dropping off around 13:30, about when I was there. It's possible there's an upstairs, but it was roped off on my visit. I decided to go with a unique combination, an unconventional choice, with the "Silence of the Lambs" burger, a patty made out of lamb, topped with goats cheese and sautéed onion. There was just one guy manning the register, and one lady cooking in the back. The first bite was divine, but towards the end I found it to mellow out to a rather neutral impression. I'd like to have tried a beef burger, and was contemplating the Dragon, but when in Ams. Worth a try, if convenient to do so.

It's…read moregot that dark, slightly chaotic, "rariteitenkabinet" vibe that makes you feel like you've stumbled into a hidden club rather than a burger joint. We kept it classic this time: * The Ribs: Fall-off-the-bone tender as always. They don't over-sweeten the glaze, which I appreciate. * Le Cannibale Royale: The pulled pork on top of the patty is a heavy hitter, but the sauerkraut actually cuts through the richness perfectly. * The Fries: Still some of the most consistent in the city--thin, salty, and actually hot. Service was busy (it's Handboogstraat, so what do you expect?), but the staff was super chill and kept the craft beers flowing. It's loud, it's moody, and it's exactly what I wanted for a late-night feed. Plus, I've noticed they actually take the time to read and reply to feedback here, which is a rare find for a place this popular. Keep doing what you're doing!

Didn't have lofty expectations coming from NYC, but was pleasantly surprised - burger patty was juicy and flavorful, had nice balance of lettuce and cheese + truffle mayo, and the chicken was surprisingly juicy as well. Fries fell a bit short and could have been more seasoned, but were crispy and on the better end of fries I had in Europe. Will come back again next time I'm here.

After months of anticipation I one day found myself across the street at Café Ledig erf (review will follow, not a fan) with classmates as a little goodbye "thing" and then suddenly saw it: Meneer Smakers Ledig Erf! It's here! It's open! I immediately texted le boyfriend about having burgers as an early dinner, but he had plans and luckily my two besties were sitting beside me and had time for an early dinner. In fact it was perfect for them as one still had work and the other had plans in Den Bosch. Thus a three-way burger date was born! Now, how does Smakers Ledig Erf compare to the original Smakers? Well, it has everything you already know and love about the original Smakers; great food, great people, great interior design and adds a new elemant; loads of light and space. The Smakers family is a consistent one which means that whether your on this side of town or more towards the centre, you're never too far away from an amazing burger now!

Usually that is how I pick my restaurants, by the fries! Here I had no idea about the fries before we sat down! I ordered the grilled cheese and husband got a chicken sandwich with fries to split. These were the BEST fries I've ever had. They were perfectly cooked. I could tell that they were double cooked as they should be for homemade fresh fries. I am so glad we didn't get a different variety of them so we could really experience the perfection of the taste! Oh and the grilled cheese and chicken sandwich were delicious too! I definitely will be back for more!

Passed a couple of places but the vibe of this restaurant seemed really happening and they had great pictures of their burgers in the window, so next thing we knew had walked in and were putting in our table orders. I decided to get a Burger Menu combo - burger, fries & a side dish for €16.50 and ordered the Asian Chicken Thriller and upgraded to Umami fries and small beet salad. My co-diner decided to do the same and got the Burger of the day along with Truffle paremesan fries and the Green Salad for her side. I enjoyed the chicken - was very well cooked, but initially the taste was too sweet for me. When got extra wasabi mayo, that bumped up the taste level for me. I didn't enjoy the Umami fries and the accompanying Black Garlic mayo was ok. The beet salad was a surprise as assumed it was more of a yogurt dressing but instead it was more like proper yogurt. This while tasty, didn't really fit into the rest of what I had ordered - I ended up having this as a dessert instead. Drink wise I got a ginger tea which was decent, but the glass I was served in was a bit dirty. Service was great, and the food was served very quickly. We split the bill and individual cost was €21 and change, so very reasonable. Also found out that the menu is prepared by a famous Dutch chef (a la Jamie Oliver) but he doesn't own the restaurant or anything, just changes the menu every 3-4 months. Our server also provided us with a comment card and along with the bill, we got these lovely coffee drops, which I much prefer to mint! Had a great time so I'd come back to this restaurant again.

It's a great snack just before or just after a meal...but I'm a big fan of snacking anyway! We have our favorite fry place in Amsterdam and my husband said that these were even better than that one, and that is our go-to spot! These were really good with friendly service with a smile. These fries are double fried (which is the only way for proper fries!), so you get a soft inside and crispy outside. These fries are the kind that you take a bite and are surprised at how good a fry can be! Very reasonably priced too. Don't forget to try a traditional sauce if you haven't before!
