I tried the fries and loved it, I did not like the mayo sauce so I just had mine with ketchup. They are huge so they can be shared. Can't wait to go back to Amsterdam and try the fries again read more

I've never eaten mind blowing fries in my life! Whenever I think of Amsterdam now, two things come to my mind. #1. Heineken beer & #2. Super soft french fries coated with finger licking sauce (I didn't lick my fingers because that's a little excessive but you get my point). Wow, I just can't fathom how amazing these fries were. I would've never assumed to pair mayonnaise with French fries but let me inform you, this combination is super good! The special sauce with onions, spicy jalapeño and curry sauces are all worth trying. I literally ate French fries on the daily (carb overload but totally worth it, trust me on this). read more

As good as being in Antwerpen. So many fries places here in Amsterdam and we tried a few but they were miles better. Additionally, they have all the great sauces you can find in Belgium. My Andelouce was awesome and every fry was perfect. I couldn't finish a small read more

Manneken Pis - Can't take the American out of the American - Friterie Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

These fries are just as good if not better than a lot of U.S. fries. I like dipping them in Mayo and catsup but this place has 20 or so different types of dipping stuff from the standard catsup, mayo to spicy hot stuff. read more

Manneken Pis - These fries are as good if not better than a lot of fries in the US. With all kinds of sauces, mayos etc. - Friterie Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Fries on point! Perfectly crispy and crunchy. The service however is what got docked a star. Product is the winner here and you can tell by the constant long lines that it's a must eat. The sauces shine as well. The war sauce with a creamy satay sauce, mayo, and topped with chopped white onions. The portion sizes are big. It's very filling and delicious. I would wait again for the fries even with the rude service. read more

Depending on whom you ask, Amsterdam is known for quite a few things; namely weed and prostitutes shoot up to the top of that list among several things. I'm not a smoker of any type, and I'm not (at least i think) interested in prostitutes, so the big two things that people stereotypically boast about coming to Amsterdam for, don't really apply to me. But food? I'll eat everything in sight, and run a country into famine if I could. From what I could surmise, among the things that I should keep my eyes peeled for were bitterballen, Dutch pancakes and well, frites, or basically french fries. But french fries are delicious, so I kept an open mind about seeking out something so ordinary. It's hard to not be intrigued by a place named after a peeing statue in Brussels that serves french fries in Amsterdam, but my girlfriend and I were quite hungry, so without much hesitation, we came to the place that boasted the best frites in Holland. It's window service only, but the line moves fast. If there's anything at all that separates Mannekin Pis from any old American french fry merchant, it's the abundant variety of sauces to put on them, other than plain old ketchup. On this European vacation, I discovered Andalouse sauce, and I found myself putting it on everything I could, including the gigantic cone of fries I got from Mannekin Pis. And it's dirt cheap; at least compared to some of the food bills I'd been running up all throughout Europe over the last few days. 4 Euros for a huge cone full of fries seemed like an absolute steal, compared to paying 200 for dinner at the Eiffel Tower or something, and I was about as sated afterward. The point is, Mannekin Pis is awesome. It's in a very central location in Amsterdam, near the city's center, also near Grand central station, and multiple rail/bus lines. Fries, I mean frites, are pretty much good at any time, and frankly given a choice, who wouldn't want to go to the place named after a naked little peeing cherub statue? read more

Great fries. Different kind that this would find in the USA. Must try. A different food experience read more

Eating frites was on my husbands list of things to do in Amsterdam. We managed to find this one while on our way back to our Airbnb from Dam Square. There was a short line for it since a futbol game that was about to begin was having a parade. It was fun to watch the parade going by while waiting in line. The lady who took our order was very friendly. She explained what some of the most popular sauces tasted like so that we could make an informed decision. We ended up with two different sauces. She did one drizzle on one side and another on the other. This gave us a chance to try two unique flavors. The frites were delicious; golden and crispy. There was a statue by the restaurant with a couple of little holders to put your frites so that you could grab them with the little fork. The statue was kind of dirty and people were trying to squeeze around with hopes of getting to use it. We tried to use this method, but ultimately ended up holding them ourselves. read more

Manneken Pis - Yum! - Friterie Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Their medium-sized fries are pretty large. My boyfriend and I shared one and it was a bit too much for us. We couldn't even finish it. We didn't try the potatje oorlog, since we tried it at Vleminck and weren't huge fans. So we opted for samurai sauce, which is supposedly super spicy, but it tasted no spicier than your regular old spicy mayo. The fries were nice and crispy but a tad oily - at least oilier than the fries from Vlemink. Manneken Pis isn't bad if you're craving fries and you happen to be in the area. But if you can wait, I'm sure you can find a better place. read more

Wow, their large size was indeed large!! Too bad in the shuffle of time that I didn't get to take a single full-length photo with these gigantic fries. If I were to hold them up to my head, it'd be bigger than my face! We started munching on the fries immediately. We used our hands (the plastic forks only proved useful afterwards when we were nearing the tip of the cone). The curry topping wasn't a typical yellow curry as I expected but a red curry sauce that was slightly sweet. It was a rich flavour and different from the creamy mayonnaise topping. The creamy mayonnaise topping seemed the more popular topping and accepted by everyone. I wish there were even more of the mayonnaise in here actually to provide coverage for the fries at the bottom of the cone. read more

I'm a self proclaimed fry connoisseur and I've had a ton of fries In my day but nothing I mean NOTHING compares to the soft French fry pillows that just melt in your mouth the way these fries do. The plus is they offer a self serve bar of seasonings and being from LA I must have seasoned salt on my fries. I got the curry ketchup and it too was fabulous. I wish I could take this business home with me. read more

I got the small and it was HUGE. My goodness. Anyway, I ordered the small with the popular sweet mayo sauce and spicy sauce () as well as diced onions. I love fries, mayo, hot sauce, and onions so this was perfect for me. The fries were really thick which was great for all the sauce. The mayo is not as sweet as I thought it would be and lighter than what I am used to and this was good as a dipping sauce rather than a spread. The spicy sauce was sweet with a kick to it. The onions were not overwhelming. It's a great addition - like when you add onions to a hot dog. Overall, pretty good, but it did get a little much for me. Large portions so great for sharing read more

When I saw a huge line of people waiting on a freezing morning, I took it as a good sign. The fries were definitely worth the wait & cold! Super crispy exterior with a smooth and buttery interior, also they had every sauce under the sun! I ordered a small for myself, but received what I could only describe as a pile of fries! I couldn't even finish half before they went cold (there aren't seats nearby). I'd definitely recommend sharing with a few buddies, and trying out some of their sauces! read more

Who doesn't love French fries?? Ordered a small and it was still a hefty portioned cone! Then again, they do cost just under €4. I ordered spicy mayo and the pineapple curry. Nice combination of sweet and spicy. Love that it's so convenient to take on the go. Sad that I decided to throw away the whole bottom of my cone bc by that point, everything was sloshed in the sauces and I prefer to eat fries where I can control the amount of sauce... Ha. At least that's what I tell myself to feel better about eating these! read more

Way way Overrated!!!! the fries at McDonald's are better; not that there bad fries but they advertise like if they got the best fries. It didn't meet my standards. I think the sauce is better than the fries, I was expecting fries from heaven or something with there huge lines . Maybe because I'm American I know how real fries taste; no offense. read more

Delicious fries. Big line at the late hour I went, but totally worth the wait. They seem to have a good system in place so you're not left waiting too long. Sauces are delicious and the fries were freshly cooked and in abundance. read more

I dream about Mannken Pis fries when I'm away from Holland. They're just thick and salty enough, served hot in a paper bag with a mini plastic fork so you can easily walk and eat. If you're lucky enough to visit Holland and pick up some Mannken Pis, you've got to do it right by getting it with mayonnaise, satesaus (a sort of peanut sauce with a kick), or oorlog (a mix of mayonnaise, satesaus, and onions). No ketchup! Now I know you're thinking - french fries with mayo? What's this girl thinking? Um, seriously, try it. It's SO GOOD. The mayo is thicker and sweeter than the mayo we consume here in the states. It's the first thing my siblings and I get when we visit Holland. Just follow the yellow paper bags! read more

Considering this place is right next door to my hotel, I'm surprised I managed to hang on until my last day to try these infamous fries, voted best in Holland. Yes, it's a touristy thing to do but with that kind of sales pitch and a consistently long queue, what could possibly go wrong?? Well, to be honest, I just didn't think the fries were that great. Yes, they are crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside, but unfortunately they were also oozing grease. Plus, they were smothered in mayo and just a little sickly. I didn't even finish them, and anyone who knows me knows that I very rarely leave food. I've definitely had better fries, and I've even had better fries in Amsterdam. read more

'twas okay. I ordered a small and it felt like a medium or a large that I would get in the States. Not that I'm complaining but they put a lot of fries and only a dollop of sauce so the fries to sauce ratio is not ideal. I would suspect that if you got your fries with more than one sauce, it'd be enough but I only went with one and there wasn't enough to go around. The fries are large like steak fries so if you're into that then you're good! I ordered the fries with wietsaus which I thought meant "white sauce" in Dutch but it doesn't mean "white sauce" in Dutch...anyway, I googled it and there's no THC and to be honest, it tasted like tartar sauce. Price was good, service was quick. read more

Ballsy branding. I have to ask no one in particular though, is a peeing boy statue really the most recognizable icon Belgium has to offer for inspiration? That's not really on Manneken Pis' head though. Best Belgian fries in Amsterdam as the awards they proudly advertise support. Thick, hot, appropriately salty and smooth. I know people worship oorlog here but I'd stick with the "samuraisaus" spicy mayo. Share a small with a friend or a loved one or a large with an army of starving children, but bring patience if during high season and wallet because these are among if not the priciest street frites in the city. Golden (brown) showers (of fried potato) are not cheap? read more

What's with the hype of this place? Tried the standard fries with original sauce and it was okay. I mean, the fries were fried correctly, but definitely nothing special. Thought there was going to be a party in my mouth, but no one was coming. :-P . Maybe the truffle mayo would have fared better. Skip this place, it's a tourist trap with long lines. Other than that, this place really didn't do anything wrong... it just had great advertising. 3 stars. read more

A must here if you are in Amsterdam. I got the large but should gotten the medium because that was too many fries for this pig. I couldn't finish them at all. I had mustard on them. They were still warm when I got my and tasted good. read more

Manneken Pis - Yummy! - Friterie Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Great disappointment in comparison to the Vlaamse fritteshuis. We stopped here on our way back to Central Station. The fries were of bad quality (lots of black spots) and majorly consisted of small fragments, not large chunky pieces. Temperature was low (and got cold while eating), the fries seem to have waited for me for some time already, even though it was a busy Sunday noon. Sauces are industry-standard, we had Cocktail and Chili, both were really average. There are much better places for fries in Amsterdam, this one felt like a tourist rip-off to us. read more

What's with all the hype??? The fries were fine. They try to be quick and speedy with ordering and getting the line moving but also come off as rude. That already ruined the experience for me. We got the truffle, curry, and green pepper sauce---truffle was the best of all the three. It was good but the long lines are way too crazy and it's not worth it. Luckily we caught it when it was short, otherwise if you see a huge line don't worry--you're not missing anything. read more

Yes, it's a tourist thing to do but you have to visit Manneken Pis when in Amsterdam! The frites are awesome - my favorites are mayo and the curry ketchup but having read the prior review, I may try the Patatje Oorlog next time I'm in town. Head down the Damrak from Centraal Station - Manneken Pis is on the right about 2 blocks before you reach Dam Square. Look for all the people with their yellow paper containers of fries! read more

When I came to Amsterdam first thing that popped in my mind was "I have to try some fries" So on our way to our fun night out we passed by this little place and stood in line, but it was pretty quick. We both ordered medium fries and some sauce - my friends had cheese sauce and I had spicy mayo. First it was too hot to eat, but when I could - it was delish! Every bite was better than the other. Couldn't think of a better thing than grabbing some fries in a cone and walk around the streets of Amsterdam. Not sure if it's Amsterdam no.1 but it was surely tasty! No doubt I'm coming over and trying some different sauce options next time. read more

Biggest portions of all the vlaamse frites shops we tried! We had to ask some people standing nearby if they really were eating a "small" - it looked so much like a medium elsewhere! The guys made a mistake and ended up giving us two "smalls" for only 1.70 each. The chili sauce isn't really spicy, but for that price, who can complain. Double-fried, golden on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Definitely my favorite, and in a prime location to boot. read more

A fries stand that's on the main busy street - stopped by for a snack. I got the truffle mayo dip which came in a cute separate pail container for me to dip my fries in, while everyone else's order got their sauce on top of the fries. I appreciate it was in a separate pail because it was less messy and I could save as a souvenir! Delicious truffle flavor with a strong mayo taste too - but the fries were thick and crunchy to keep you wanting more of that dip :) Definitely worth a try and they have many sauce options to pick from. I had the small which was enough for me because the fries are big. read more

Manneken Pis should be your first stop off of Centraal Station. What better way to refuel than to stuff your stomach with a fistful of verse vlaamse frites (or fresh Flemish Fries according to Google Translate). These fries are crispy, thick cut, full of potato (not just hollow and full of air), piping hot, and fresh. Even if there is a crowd, the line goes quickly and you will have your frites within minutes. This is a fry stand and you will be eating your frites on the sidewalk or walking. Unless you are sharing with a group, don't be greedy. Get a regular sized one or the small. The large is truly bigger than your head. I was like, "Whyyyyy did we order this? Are you crazy?" But we finished that large sucker and used every bit of the fake tasting cheese we ordered. It was delicious. I didn't think I would love it as much as I did but it is a novelty thing and really, you gotta be in the mood for frites. They are not light fare. The price is right. It won't break the bank. For about 4 euro you will be getting about 4 fried potatoes. That's about a pound! Aughh! ***** Manneken Pis moet uw eerste stop off van het Centraal Station zijn. Welke betere manier om te tanken dan naar je maag vullen met een handvol vers vlaamse frites (of verse Vlaamse frieten volgens Google Translate). Deze frieten zijn knapperig, dik gesneden, vol met aardappelen (niet alleen hol en vol met lucht), gloeiend heet, en vers. Zelfs als er een menigte, de lijn gaat snel en u zult uw frites hebben binnen enkele minuten. Dit is een bak staan en je zal eten van je frites op de stoep of wandelen. Tenzij u het delen met een groep, wees niet hebzuchtig. Krijg een normaal formaat een of de kleine. De grote is echt groter dan je hoofd. Ik was als, "Waarom hebben we dit bestellen? Ben je gek? "Maar we klaar dat grote sukkel en gebruikt elke bit van de nep smakende kaas we bestelden. Het was heerlijk. Ik dacht niet dat ik zou graag het zo veel als ik deed, maar het is een nieuwigheid ding en echt, je moet wel in de stemming voor frites. Het zijn geen lichte kost. De prijs is goed. Het zal niet breken de bank. Voor ongeveer € 4 u krijgt ongeveer 4 gebakken aardappelen. Dat is ongeveer een pond! Aughh! read more

Fries are not fresh. They sit under a heat lamp and then they pour what appears to be salt over them. Try a better business. This review was for the Utrecht store. The woman took my order, then helped another she obviously knew, then after about five minutes decided to make (dump them in paper) my old fries. read more

Fries are junk food they said. Fries should be avoided they said. They clearly haven't had heavenly fries from one of Amsterdam's finest and busiest fries shop. Many times I have walked past it trying hard not to look at the fresh fries sizzling out of the fryer. Many times I have succumbed to getting just a small portion. It's the oil that maketh good fries, and they use good oil. I like to say that it's peanut oil but I am not sure. Anyway, the fries are spectacular. They have a bunch of sauces and toppings as well. I love the peanut sauce. I used to like curry sauce but lately I dig ketchup more. Oh, and you can't go wrong with onions on top of your fries. Especially tasty with the peanut sauce. Portion is good, although you could even make a meal out of fries if you get the large cone! In any case, never let anyone tell you that fries aren't healthy. They are just jealous that they don't get good fries where they love. read more

Came here after a friend of mine recommended it, and as another reviewer mentioned, it's a very tourist thing to do. It is, but do yourself a favor grab some of their famous frites. They have signs saying that they were voted #1 in Holland, and I could see why. Their fries are thick, crispy on the outside, and a little soft on the inside. They are a little bit salty, but overall, the flavor is just right. And yes, they smother your fries with whatever sauce you order. Their fritesauce is a delicious addition to your fries. I also had some with cheddar, but that was alright...it didn't really taste like cheddar. I recommend eating your fries as soon as possible, because they're not as great when they're cold. It's located on the same street as Dam Square, and prices start at around 3 euros. read more

Hubby and I came across this fries place on the boulevard in front of Amsterdam Centraal. There was a long line, so we figured it has to be good. It did not disappoint. The fries were warm and crispy. Sauces were additional, but a good value nonetheless. Generous portion and enough to share. Service is no frills, but it is a food stand. read more

Manneken Pis - Medium fries with ketchup and mayonnaise - Friterie Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

The fries were hot, fresh, and crisp. The sauce selection was insane, but I stuck with the house sauce. Loved the little wooden fork for digging the fries out of the bottom of the paper cone. DELICIOUS! read more

The line for this place was ridiculous. I only decided to wait the third time I walked past, as there were only about 20 people headed of me. To their credit, they are a well oiled machine and the wait was only about 10 minutes. They have three sizes and 24 different sauces that range from ketchup to more interesting options. I kept it simple with ketchup. The fries were just okay. Nothing remarkable, no real flavor/seasoning, and overcooked. I'd had some fries at my hotel the night before and they were fabulous. So, I don't know if one was more authentic (cooking process) than the other. It's pretty difficult to mess up fries but it shouldn't be rocket science to cook great ones, especially when you promote your fries as being voted the best in Amsterdam. BTW, if you're alone get a small. A medium is a lot, unless you haven't eaten dinner. read more

I saw a long line and heard from my friend about this. It's just fries to me and comes with different dipping sauces. It gets soggy towards the end. It's good but nothing memorable. read more
