I really was doubting whether I should give this place 2 or 3 stars but my starter saved them…read more Just came home from having dinner here. My boyfriend read about it in a local 'East' paper we got delivered. We were a bit disappointed when we arrived as it does look like a beach house (as they call it) but one that was just dropped somewhere, anywhere. We thought there would be water; a bit like the next Roest or Pllek. Instead there was just a lot of sand. Our waiter was nice though you could tell he's not a catering industry kinda guy. We got our drinks and had some bread with aioli and chili sauce (?). I've never had to put chili sauce on a piece of bread before. I had the Jacky D'Chicken as a starter and I must say it was good. Good quality ingredients, good flavours and nicely done plate. My boyfriend choose the corn soup (a bit spicy) with popcorn which I would have loved to take home with me in a big jar and eat tomorrow and the day after. We then had a burger (I didn't want the patty) as they didn't have the ribs (such a shame!). I was expecting more from the burger after the starter I had but nothing special about the burger really though not a bad one. The fries were too sloppy for my taste. Dessert was cheesecake with coconut ice cream which came from Holtkamp - definitely enjoyable. Good to know: they only do bbq's for groups

It's a bit difficult to find this place, as they have no clear signage on the building or on the…read moreroad. But if you follow the signs for land sailing, then they will lead you to this oasis in the middle of nothingness. But it has free parking! Which is kind of a miracle in Amsterdam. Also be sure to wear closed shoes, or else you'll probably get a foot full of sand since the building is surrounded by sand on all sides. But other than that, the food is de-licious! I had spare ribs that were well cooked with decent BBQ sauce, a well cooked baked potato, some delicious and moist BBQ salmon with 'lamb's ear' and lemon wedge, and a simple green salad with a vinaigrette. Based on that I deduce that everything would be good here. They have a decent selection of lambics, i.e. beers made from fruits like strawberry and raspberry, which makes me very happy. And their chef is cute, and a genius. The alcohol had no influence on that opinion. The food is way better than I would expect from a place set up to provide food and shelter to those who do land sailing and the other sports they offer here. So if you're dragged here by a boyfriend or spouse, don't despair, the people at Bij Storm will feed you and treat you right. (Disclaimer: I was here for an event so my food was free.)

We didn't have a reservation, but just arrived after a long flight and were STARVING. They got us in even though the place was very busy. Our server was friendly, attentive and seemed truly passionate about the food. 2. The Food- we only tried the "Stew For Two" which came with a bottle of red, some bread and sauces and the stew with all of the sides (Potato, Cabbage, Roasted Pear). The flavors together were wonderful. My boyfriend actually wanted to go back the next night just to get it again. Alas we have only three days in Amsterdam, and many places to try. 3. Great neighborhood, off the beaten path, but still lively. One of our better dining experiences so far.

February 2018: late night spot to hang out or to eat. We actually made it just in time before the…read morekitchen closed. It was pretty packed in there we were greeted at the door immediately and sat immediately which was nice. We ordered the French onion soup and the burger. Im not sure why I ordered the French onion soup considering we were going to France. Anyhow it was not how I pictured it or how it's made in the US. The soup had two pieces of bread on the top of the soup served with two slices of brown bread on the side. So there wasn't any cheese on top like what I'm used to. The only cheese was the very small amount that had on the small pieces of bread. Well I thought guess it's made different in Amsterdam. It was actually bland it needed salt, I guess maybe because im used to it with lots of cheese. It was still good just not what I was expecting. The burger was something else, it was delicious. They cooked it perfectly it was full of juiciness and lots of good flavors. Simple burger with toasted sesame bun. The fries oh the fries, it was so crispy and good, I couldn't stop eating them. Service was great. Overall good experience and if you're in the area nice to have a late night spot.

For instance, I got a burger and fries which was good but my friend got a salad and it was small (not really worth all the money).
