And they brought seconds, thirds and more if you wanted (meat only). Outside, it was pleasant enough. Inside, like an American dive bar - not an appealing atmosphere from my perspective. But the real issue is that these greasy ribs were a gut-bomb. Yes, you got exactly what you ordered -- but in the end, save this for when you're at home in the states and the ribs are better quality. These were ok, but pigging out on greasy ribs of middling quality really isn't that great an experience, is it? There are so many good local alternatives -- if you long for American food, I guess this might be a temporary answer, but I think you'd do well to go elsewhere.

Ok.. been in Amsterdam 5 days. To be honest, the customer service has been fair... BUT TODAY... was…read morethe worst ever!! Went to this "cafe" to watch the NBA Christmas games. The server was so clueless that even though Sangria was on the menu... she had no idea what we were talking about and kept having to ask the bartender( will discuss her later ). After numerous reminders, and her asking us to close out every time we placed an order... again... came here to watch at least 2 NBA games... we decided to order food. Nothing difficult... an order of chicken tenders and sweet potato fries. After an extended amount of time... the tenders arrived... and we were told the fries were right behind... Well, think you can guess... 25 minutes later.. NO FRIES! When we asked... we were told that there was an error with the order and the fries would be out soon. Wait for it......... 10 minutes later... no fries! But then, we see fries .. and the guy comes out, and gives it to the group that just paid their bill and were getting ready to leave( they took them of course) !! Is this joke? We ask him if they are ours, and the bartender informs him that they are. At this point, there has just been too many negatives, so I decided to approach the bartender(Fatima). Yeah, I know you may think she would be apologetic, trying to right the insane amount of wrongs..... NOT!! I told her that at this point, at the VERY least, she should not charge us for this fries.. given the numerous errors and that it took over 35 minutes for the fries to make it to our general area..lol.. and if we hadn't said anything... that group would have walked out with them. Fatima tries to explain this and that.. but in the end.. chalked it up to training new people. When I asked if that was my fault, she HAD THE NERVE to respond, "is it my fault"? Hell yeah it is!!!!!!! You are running the bar... I'm a customer... take responsibility. That's what a business that wants to succeed and make money does!! Lesson learned... stay away from this place... it smells like the sewer, service is clearly AWFUL, and there's no accountability for their screw ups!! Only saving grace was that Quincy was nice and was actually helpful.... what a concept!! Horrible place!! DUTCH TRANSLATION SO THE LOCALS KNOW: Oké... ik ben nu 5 dagen in Amsterdam. Om eerlijk te zijn was de klantenservice tot nu toe redelijk... MAAR VANDAAG... was echt het allerergste!! We gingen naar dit "café" om de NBA Christmas games te kijken. De serveerster was zó clueless dat -- ook al stond Sangria op de kaart -- ze geen idee had waar we het over hadden en telkens de bartender moest gaan vragen (daar kom ik later op terug ). Na talloze reminders, en het feit dat ze ons élke keer vroeg om af te rekenen zodra we iets wilden bestellen... nogmaals... we kwamen hier om minstens 2 NBA-wedstrijden te kijken... besloten we eten te bestellen. Niets moeilijks... gewoon een bestelling van chicken tenders en zoete-aardappelfriet. Na een belachelijk lange tijd kwamen de tenders eindelijk... en werd ons verteld dat de friet "er zo aankwam"... Nou, je kunt het al raden... 25 minuten later... GEEN FRIET! Toen we ernaar vroegen, kregen we te horen dat er een fout was met de bestelling en dat de friet er snel aan zou komen. Wacht maar...... 10 minuten later... nog steeds geen friet! Maar dan zien we friet... en die man komt naar buiten en geeft het aan het groepje dat net had betaald en klaarstond om weg te gaan (en ja, die namen het natuurlijk)!! Is dit een grap? We vragen hem of dat onze friet is, en de bartender zegt tegen hem dat dat inderdaad zo is. Op dit punt waren er gewoon te veel negatieve dingen gebeurd, dus besloot ik de bartender aan te spreken (Fatima). Ja, ik weet het -- je zou denken dat ze zich zou verontschuldigen en zou proberen al die bizarre fouten goed te maken..... MAAR NEE!! Ik zei haar dat ze op z'n MINST die friet niet moest rekenen, gezien de talloze fouten en het feit dat het meer dan 35 minuten duurde voordat de friet überhaupt in onze buurt kwam... lol... en als wij niks hadden gezegd, was dat groepje gewoon weggelopen met onze friet. Fatima probeerde dit en dat uit te leggen... maar uiteindelijk schoof ze het af op "we trainen nieuwe mensen". Toen ik vroeg of dat mijn schuld was, durfde ze te antwoorden: "Is het mijn schuld?" Hell yeah, dat is het!!!!!!! Jij runt de bar... ik ben klant... neem verantwoordelijkheid. Dat is wat een bedrijf dat succesvol wil zijn en geld wil verdienen doet!! Les geleerd... blijf weg van deze plek... het ruikt naar het riool, de service is duidelijk VERSCHRIKKELIJK, en er is totaal geen verantwoordelijkheid voor hun fouten!! Het enige positieve was dat Quincy vriendelijk was en daadwerkelijk behulpzaam.... wat een concept!! Vreselijke plek!!

Great Tv's for watching a sports game and surprisingly very good food. The music that they were playing didn't really go with vibe of the place, but I didn't mind.

There also other soccer related items on the walls and a television on the back wall for your viewing pleasure. For us, the bartender made this place great. The young lady behind the bar who told her if she had been working there for the past 19 years had a great personality, knew how to pour a beer, and had a certain way about her, that made it clear that she was in the right job, and at the right place. If you stop in you also meet "McQueen" who is the bar cat. From what we understand because the buildings are old, a lot of the bars and other establishments have cats to manage any potential problem with mice. The bar is noisy and can get crowded very quickly because it is pretty small. If you are in Amsterdam and are looking for a place to sit down at the bar and have a few beers this is a good place. I don't think we were the only tourists in there, but I think the tourists were outnumbered by the locals. We enjoyed this place very much and I think you will too.

The waiter that served us was alright, but we came across one waiter who was super rude. Cos the table was so small, we asked one guy that passed by if he can kindly take one empty dish away. Instead of saying yes, he gave the most ridiculous reply ever. This is what he answered ' Hmm.. not really, cos i work at the bar and not a server. But if u insist to give me, then i guess i can take it' Even the dutch couple that sat next to our table, turned to us and said what the guy said was super impolite.
