    Very nice decor, staff is polite and attentive. The boozy milkshake was incredible, the truffle burger was delicious and the crispy chicken was pretty good. Also the prices aren't too high for the wonderful view you get of the ocean.

    The food is not so nice compare to the price. Spicy checken salad is way too dry. So I changed to spicy beef salad, the portion is big, just beef is really salty. My friend had burger medium cooked. But the burger coming with well done. The meat is also dry, no juicy taste at all. But he still finished it. Waiter walk with straight they never see we wave to him. Waitress are nice, smile and friendly. Environment is okay outside has the reflecting of the window light. It leads to super hot as well. But it could have recover view. As a result, for this average price I will not coming to this restaurant.

    The food is very delicious and priced fairly for the quality. The drinks were good too! I really enjoyed the atmosphere and it's right next to the ferry for Amsterdam so it's a great location.

    Burgers and fries were great. Cheesecake was also good. Pricing is okay, considering the location. Staff was nice and very quick. Everything came fast and hot eben though it was pretty full. Be aware of the cocktails! They were amazing but certainly didn‘t lack punch👌

    Came here for breakfast. My latte and porridge (oatmeal) with fruit was amazing. The service was also very attentive and friendly. It has an incredible view of Amsterdam Central Station! It got a little warm in there (another table mentioned it too) but it seemed to be addressed as it cooled off as soon as other table said something. Update: Came back and it was just as good as the first. I see people complaining about the buffet prices but also know that you can order a la carte and it is not too expensive. Sure, it’s a little pricey but you are in Amsterdam center essentially.

    The place is very spacious inside with nice decorations and music. Especially in the late evening, the light changed and they started playing songs that made it almost turn to a club! They had a lot of different types of burgers, which is nice that we had many different options but the burger we ordered was average. we ordered the Daddy burger with the butcher sauce but it seemed that they just forgot to add any sauce.

    We reserved via the website for breakfast and to sit outside. We're not guests of the hotel. When we arrived we were not allowed to sit outside, while the weather was great. Reason was that breakfast is only served inside. Well then don't allow to make reservations to sit outside?! The eggs Benedict was nice but very small. The staff seemed to want us to go away really fast I wouldn't recommend coming here for breakfast if you're not a guest. The peanut butter smoothie is delicious!

    You need to take a ferry of 3 min from across Amsterdam Central Station. The interior is nice, bit crowded but decent distance between tables. The waiters are proffesiona and responsive. Had the daddy burger along side sweet potato fries - Best combo!

    We went for dinner on a Friday evening after visiting the Eye Film Museum. The staff was very friendly. Food was good: we had the Butcher Cheese Burger, Butcher fries and the Spicy Chicken Salad. Both were tasty! Atmosphere is special, kind of a disco style with lights and music. Overall it was a good experience!

    This place is a hip burger joint that seems like you could watch a FooFighters show at. But you’ll have to settle for playing the FF pinball machine until they get booked for a show. Video games, ping pong, a great view and lots of libations. Oh! Did I mention an awesome burger and fries??? Definitely recommend visiting this joint.

    A nice place to hang out with friends. I tried fish and chip. Chickend wings is nice as well! Burger original but fried pork is too dry for me (not my order) :)

    Massive portion of sweet potato fries which were very tasty. The burger was good, but nothing super special. Service was quick and kind. Would go back.

    Loved the place,the service but even more the burgers they make..Tried another restaurant from this chain and even with this one they never miss a spot! The Butcher highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Ikben T. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is only a stone throw ferry ride from Amsterdam. Super friendly staffs, great outdoor seating with huge covering in case of bad weather. Some seatings are communal seatings on picnic tables. Good spot for people, ferries and boats watching. Quite a burger selection on the menu(thus the name I guess) but didn’t try them. Touchless QR code food and drink menus are a great plus. Indoor gaming consoles, pool and pingpong table seems all so awesome. Wonder how busy it would get after the restrictions is off. Would love to come back with friends. It was advised to make reservation on our next visit.

    We slept at Sir Adam Hotel and the breakfast included was by The Butcher. Because of corona you are served à lá carte. Isn't much variety but you can always refill. Not so good price/ quality ratio. Friendly staff. Forgot to take photos. Sorry guys

    The food was pretty good, prices are okay. The location is amazing, nice view and interior is also great. The staff was friendly. Meniu had quite a few choices. Not very suitable for quite time, but nice to go with friends.

    It was an amazing experience also the food was outstanding.Especially the lamb burger it has a strange and lovely taste in the seem time. Moreover, the wings it was unique. I highly recommend it

    The food was excellent! Absolutely recommend their adult milkshakes -- we loved the strawberry one and wanted more! Heads up though, they advised us that they stop making any milkshakes after 9pm. I got the Daddy burger and my fiance got the Benedict burger. I thought the Daddy burger was spot on(5/5), though my fiance said the Hollandaise sauce on his Benedict burger wasn't as tangy/flavorful as he was expecting (he rated it 4/5, since he said otherwise it was tasty). We also got some Bitterballen, which was served with mustard -- we thought the Bitterballen were pretty good -- but personally we maybe would've opted for some coarse style mustard to dip in, for some contrasting textures (if they had it). Service-wise, everyone was fairly nice but getting the attention of our primary waitress was a bit tough (however, it did seem that they may not have been fully staffed for the amount of people dining -- even so, the shakes and burgers were worth the wait ☺️). We honestly LOVED the other waitress that was checking on everyone, and she was absolutely awesome to chat with and gave us some suggestions based on what we liked. Overall we would probably go back again, but maybe not during peak dinner rush.

    The burgers are amazing. Tasty and juicy. The service is friendly and tends to be fast. The prices are fair. The place is pretty cool and you can pair up burgers with some really nice cocktails. I Def recommend and I come back regularly.

  • 5/5 Rimta D. 2 years ago on Google
    Oh yes! The tastiest the juuciesr burger I have ever eaten is in this place. Little costly but worth trying. And the bailey's smoothies was the bestest of bestest. Never had anything like that before.

    We visited the butcher social club for NYE and was blown away but the attention to detail and service. Every guest was greeted with a NYE goody bag and we were also given 2 free shots of our choice. The DJ played excellent music for New Years and the food was delicious. My party of 4 all had the steak and it was cooked to perfection. When midnight struck we had the best view in the house of all the fireworks displays that went off over Amsterdam (14 different displays in total!). Would highly recommend!

    This is a beautiful bar with a great atmosphere because it's a nice balance between bar and restaurant. It was really fun to watch football there and the service was excellent! Non alcoholic cocktails are quite nice, the chicken dishes were okay but perhaps could use a bit more balance. Would still recommend for a chill hang-out spot!

  • 4/5 Alice 1 year ago on Google
    The atmosphere is great! The food is tasty, there are also vegan and vegetarian burgers, and the staff (despite the other reviews) was very friendly with us. Only thing: the place is a bit too expensive.

  • 1/5 Simply. I. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly service: 2/5 Fast service: 1/5 Tasty food: 3/5 Value for money: 4/5 To get some service you need to get up and chase the staff otherwise they don't notice you. We waited 30 min for the dessert, turned out I was forgotten. The food was tasty, though it arrived luke-warm. Picture: I ordered Veggie Delight with portobello mushroom and avocado. Turned out that avocado was mashed, something that should be mentioned on the menu. (You can see in the comment below that the company asked me to contact them about my experience. I did send them an email the next day but did not hear from them for over a week now, still waiting.)

  • 2/5 Emirhan Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Right next to A'dam's look out. So, a nice spot to wait for your slot. However, the volume of the music so disturbingly high that you have to shout in order to communicate with someone less than a meter away...

  • 4/5 Tachú S. 1 year ago on Google
    A very comfy place, lots of spaces and with a great view to the IJ. Burgers are tasty but in my opinión a bit pricey for their size. They have vegetarian options 🌱

  • 5/5 leanah a. 1 year ago on Google
    Totally good classic burger. The beef was cooked in a very good way. usually some restaurants has a smell in the burger or fat, however this one was perfect for me. Also the location is good near to the look out swing. I would totally recommend this location.

  • 4/5 Steinar J. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a late lunch here on a rainy Monday. No problem getting seats. Most likely busier on weekends and in good weather since there’s a large terrace here. Had a cheeseburger with added bacon. The meat was tasty. It was too tall to eat with your hands and it was stacked in a way that made it fall apart when eaten with knife and fork. So there’s that. But all in all a tasty burger. Fries were very average. Fine. Nothing special. Beer selection is nothing special. Staff were friendly and service quite good.

👍👍 The perfect place to enjoy high-quality seafood at a reasonable price. Was surprised to see this large restaurant buzzing at 5pm (both inside and outside!) but after seeing the fresh fish on display and trying the sashimi which just melts in the mouth I understood why. The staff were also very well-...
