I thought at first this place looked like a tourist trap but it was really quite lovely and I had a delicious burger. The owner is super into Wizard of Oz and there is memorabilia everywhere as well as some fun artwork. Make sure you check out the bathroom before you go. I would definitely recommend.
Very kitschy Wizard of Oz themed burger joint next to all the touristy spots in Amsterdam! Definitely for the American crowd, they know their audience and opened in prime real estate. Unfortunately, part of the reason I know why this is catered towards Americans is that they have a mandatory 15% surcharge. This would not fly in traditional Europe. Unfortunately, as a Bay native, I will say that I am used to this. I will say, the quality of the food was really good. If you're craving a place with a bit of flair and high quality ingredients while also having a taste of home after consistently eating your way through European cuisine on your vacation, this is the spot for you. My boyfriend and I got the if I only had a heart, along with the truffle mac n cheese and fries with pulled pork. I can feel my arteries clogging as I type this out. The pulled pork was plentiful and quite sweet; it went well with the fries after being mixed in. This did prove a tad difficult to do without creating a mess, since the container was on the smaller side. The truffle mac n cheese was creamy and not watery, just the way my boyfriend and I like it. The burgers themselves are probably some of the best, we've never had avocado and tortilla chips in a burger for free (granted, this is already baked into the retail price). The veggies are fresh, and each bite you take has such an insane amount of texture and flavor packed in it. So savory and indulgent. I took a photo with my hand for scale just to show how difficult it can be to get all of that in one bite!
First, let me start by saying it is pricey. They charge for still water and condiments (read:ketchup) is considered a "sauce" at €1,5. Hubby and I shared "The Scarecrow" which is double 180g beef patty,!brioche, crispy bacon, cheddar cheese, carmelized onions, pickle, tomato and romaine lettuce (€26/46 for wagyu). We added avocado for €3 and regular fries which are hand cut daily at €7,5. For desert, we ordered a chocolate shake (€7,5) and upgraded to a "freakshake" (€7). The interior decor is very cool and has a nice vibe to it. A definite must-try restaurant and we are glad we stopped in. We are even happier that we shared the entire meal because it is a LOT of food. Total bill for one hamburger, one order of fries, ketchup, a shake, the jitterbug iced tea and a beer: €70,50 + 15% surcharge is ........€81,08 Overall impression: Worth it!!
This was recommended by the hotel. I couldn't believe I'd come to Amsterdam and my first meal would be a burger. Well, it was and it was good. The vibe inside is Oz - I didn't get the reference but lots of Wizard of names for the burgers and such. I got the most basic one and it was still loaded!! I ordered mine with sweet potato fries. Can quickly and really cooked to perfection - burger and fries. I dined solo so I was directed to the bar. Not the most comfortable seating but it wasn't terrible. This place is in the heart of the museum district so if you find yourself here after hitting up one of the museums, it's a good find for lunch or early dinner.
After a long day walking around the city, we found this cute themed restaurant very close to the Van Gogh and Rijksmusuem. A relaxed room with interesting decor. Staff were friendly and helpful with suggestions. I tried the waygu burger sampler with three sliders. Excellent tasting burgers. The table shred a prefer of fries. My gf had a burger of her own design and loved it. All burgers were cooked to order (medium rare). We'd definitely stop back when next in Amsterdam.
I stumbled upon The Burger Room when I was in the museum district during my holiday in Amsterdam. They have an Alice in Wonderland theme at their restaurant. Don't get it twisted,The Burger Room is a high end burger spot. I ordered the Back to Kansas burger(14 Euros) with the waygu beef upgrade(An Extra 10 Euros) with fries. The burger was good not great. It could have been more flavorful for the high price of it. I didn't taste a major difference with the waygu beef upgrade and it was cooked well done. It should have been cooked to medium or they should have asked how I wanted it cooked. The fries were nice and crispy as expected(they love good and crispy fries in Amsterdam).The Yellow Brick Road cocktail(15.5 Euros)was very refreshing and worth the money in my opinion. The service itself was very good and I did like the decor. The major issue was the 15% surcharge they are going to charge you. The food is a little overpriced for what you receive. It's an okay spot that I would not revisit the next time I'm on holiday in Amsterdam.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow...at The Burger Room Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore..but if you want delicious burgers in a Wizard of Oz-themed eatery, you've come to the right place. Our server told us that the owner is a huge Wizard of Oz fan (and very tall as well) and you'll note it in the menu, the decor, and of course, the downstairs. I had the Cyclone burger (black angus) which comes with foie gras, truffle mayo on a brioche bun. It was juicy, decadent and delicious. We shared an order of fries (very good). The burgers came out very fast, were towering on the plate, I ate it with a knife and fork (we fancy). The food was good, the ambience is fun. They brought us mini burger candies at the end and sent us off with stroopwaffles too. Whether you are an Oz fan (I am) or not, a meal Somewhere Over the Rainbow may be exactly what you need!
How is it possible that the best burger I've ever had in my life was in Amsterdam? I've eaten burgers in the American South East and if you were to challenge a Texan that the Dutch could take the prize for best burger from a roadhouse outside of Dallas or Houston where the perfecting of beef for the highly discerning public falls somewhere between art and religion, they would scoff, shake their heads, smile, and offer a kind "bless your heart" in response. In a past lifetime, I worked in Texas for years. Burgers, BBQ, Beer.... Brilliant. I never would have believed it had I not walked by The Burger Room after being truly amazed by priceless artwork a few steps away at the Van Gogh museum and suggested we go inside. So now, when I think of Dutch cuisine, I won't forget the Bitterballen, the Pannekoeken, the Kibbeling, or the Stroopwafels... nor will I forget the burgers.
The Burger Room is located right near the Van Gogh museum. The decor theme is "The Wizard of Oz" - some interesting photos and memorabilia, but I'm not sure what the burger connection. The decor and prices are upscale for a burger joint. One can choose between Wagyu and angus beef for a burger. The Wagyu is twice the price. We all tried the Wagyu. The burgers were good but I have had better. For those who do not want beef, there are veggie burgers and chicken sandwiches. 19 year old loved the chicken sandwich. The restaurant charges extra for everything-ketchup, pickles, sauces. It all adds up. Service was super fast. We enjoyed our meal but not worth the over $200 price tag. Next time I would try the angus beef!
Very fun Oz themed burger joint with incredible burgers! The decor is fun and dark either way wood panels and lots of green. The service was variable, some servers were more attentive and polite than others. There's a full bar. And get ready to pay for water and condiments! But it's worth it.
Oh it's a super cute place. That's about it. If you're going because you want to take photos, do it. Don't go for the staff! Run in the opposite direction! Food, you can find better at FEBO! Meh. Let's start when we walked in, shall we?! My daughter is a dual citizen. So, she goes into a NL establishment speaking Nederland. Don't. The guy there is extremely rude about NOT speaking it. Okay as an Ami, I get it. It's Wizard of Oz themed. Based in Kansas. But, you're in NL I expect it to be a THEME based thing, maybe speak the native language. His demeanor was just rude. We saw & heard him be arrogantly rude to two other customers after us. It just left a bad vibe. Now the waitress just acted like she was called in on her day off, & her pay was cut in addition. I'm sure that's not the case, but it felt that way. The food was warm & okay. I enjoyed going with my daughter. Would I ever go back or recommend this place? Absolutely not, but simply based on the staff, not the food. The food was ok. Replace the staff, & I could see a big improvement. Period. Also, with so much seating, maybe let customers sit further apart & not right next to one another. Neat place Mediocre food Staff sucked
The drinks were excellent and the burgers delicious. The truffle Mac and cheese was also excellent. Chatted briefly with the owner who was very excited to hear we were from Kansas. The wizard of oz theme came from his love of the movie and there are some nice touches of the film sprinkled throughout the restaurant.

The drinks were tasty. The burgers were expensive and average. Think of Red Robin in the States. I'll take a pass the next time around. read more

Wonderful food, wonderful service, fabulous Wizard of Oz atmosphere. I'm almost embarrassed to say this, but in case it helps, here's a tip for non-europeans- if you ask for water anywhere, they will bring you a 7€ bottle of water. I had no complaint- the bottle was large and gorgeous, but I had no idea until it had arrived . The burgers were creative, large, yummy and Wizard of Oz themed. read more

Nice burger restaurant/bar with a Wizard of Oz theme located centrally located near the most popular Amsterdam Museums. My family and I stopped in after a day at the Rijksmuseum and enjoyed some tasty burgers and milkshakes. The restaurant even had a cute mini Wizard of Oz museum in the bathroom with a replica of Dorothy's ruby slippers. When it comes to the food, the burgers were nicely cooked to temperature with very fresh and flavorful cheddar cheese. The patty itself could've used more seasoning though. The onion rings were crispy and tasty and the milkshakes were delicious. I was a little taken aback by any sauce even ketchup being an additional charge. All in all it's a nice restaurant and I'd come back if on holiday again. read more

Best hamburger I might've ever had. service was wonderful, inside the bar was fun, all based off The Wizard of Oz. All the hamburgers and drinks with theme related. We couldn't stop turning around because everything was so cute to see, from the ceiling to the walls to the menu. We both had the.Back to Kansas burger, which is 6 oz beef patty with cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, which you order both in angus beef or wagu beef. The whole menu can be ordered that way. Couple people around us got the 12 ounce burger and it was absolutely enormous smiles all around with everybody laughing when they were brought to the table, and I don't even think it was that expensive. read more

This place was close to our hotel room, open and got good reviews...all the things that'll make us try a place! It was quiet the night we went. The drinks were pretty good. Food was alright. It was interesting cause the bartender was giving shots to the tables that seemed to be only women. Where as the Mrs and I got no shots offered to us. read more

Came here my last night in Amsterdam. Had an early flight and wanted a nice place close to our hotel to grab a meal. We were actually like looking for comfort food. Somehow I love eating the great American dish, the hamburger in foreign countries. We started off with the nachos which were pretty good and then we got our hamburgers. They were a little rare but it was also very good. The restaurant it self was very comfortable and had a nice vibe. Love the wall in the back with all the celebrities eating hamburgers. read more
