    Walked in Monday afternoon as after few hours of shopping a pit stop was required (by me, beloved would happily keep going on). Surprised that some of the restaurants in the street were taking a midday break, the Chicken bar was happy to accommodate us. Nice rustic decor and the roasted chicken smell was definitely a welcoming experience. The place was very quite and clean. The no nonsense menu was great and to the point. We opted for full roasted chicken, fries and salad. The order was taken very quickly. Despite being almost alone in the restaurant it took almost 20 minutes to be served. Surprising, as I assumed one of them spinning chicken would jump quickly to our plate... The chicken was perfectly cooked and moist but I wished it has some extra kick in taste. Maybe too many years of peri peri has ruined our ability to enjoy the plain roast... the accompanying salad and fries could have been more generous IMO but for a couple (one of whom more eager to shop than food) it was fine. Good experience but it can be easily improved for a great one...

    The half chicken was very tasty, juicy and filling. But it was warm when it was served, not hot, so it got cold quickly before finishing the dish. Service was very kind and nice. Worth the price overall. Sometimes there were a bit of the smell of the toilet when its doors are open even though we weren’t sitting that close to it.

    Tasty chicken in Amsterdam - Make sure to reserve in time, seats are limited! Fried chicken burger was good, personally not a big fan of eating an entire chicken (takes a lot of patience to get to the last piece of meat) - Burger was a good alternative.

    The Chicken Bar in Amsterdam is an absolute delight! I had the pleasure of trying some of the most delicious chicken paired with heavenly gravy sauce at this spot. Situated in a bustling shopping area, it's a perfect oasis for a satisfying meal amidst the city's buzz. The prices are reasonable for the quality and portion sizes you receive, making it a great value for money. A fantastic little gem that offers exceptional flavors, a convenient location, and a cozy atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit for anyone craving top-notch chicken in Amsterdam!

    Unexpectedly delicious! We shared a nice meal with the three of us. The taco's where a great and tasty start. But then the roasted chicken, wow! Succulent and flavoursome. Nearly lost my fingers eating it. The spicy pulled chicken burger was just perfect. The side dishes were super too. Crispy fries, freshly baked warm bread and perfectly roasted veggies. You have to reserve as they are extremely busy! But absolutely worth the wait!

    Super cozy chicken restaurant. Better reserve a table in advance for dinner, otherwise you might have to wait for some time. We shared a whole roasted chicken between 2 girls and it was really juicy. Though if you only like certain parts of chicken like wings, legs, it’d make more sense to order just those parts.

    Overall I would rate this restaurant 3 stars. We came to the restaurant because of the high rate on google reviews. However, the food itself is a bit lower than our expectations. The pulled chicken taco: Taco is not crispy but very dry and hard to chew, although the pulled chicken inside tasted good. The fried chicken wings: The outside crust is a bit over cooked, as it is shown on the picture. The roasted chicken: as the signature dish, I expected it at least crispy skin with juicy meat inside. However, the skin tastes a bit salty while the meat inside tastes very plein. I understand the chicken is supposed to be enjoyed together with the sauce. But I would expect the signature dish has its own taste and sauce is just to add more flavor not to provide the essential taste. The fries: just normal. Served together with mayonnaise or ketchup as standard. 3 stars ⭐️ are given because of 0.5 ⭐️: the food itself. 1 ⭐️: the friendly staff, very nice and patient to answer all my questions. 0.5 ⭐️: price is reasonable compared with the neighborhood. 1 ⭐️: location is not hard to find and access.

    We had tenders, wings and the half chicken. The wings were good, but lacking in any tang, given they’re advertised as Buffalo, but the half chicken was sublime - moist, salty and the lemon + herb jus absolutely delicious. Staff quickly helped us decipher the menu and kept us refreshed throughout. Highly recommended; 1/2 chicken some of the best I’ve had in ages.

    Great dinner here last night. Was worried about the limited menu but they really know how to serve good chicken well. Would highly recommend the tacos and tenders for starter! Will be adding this place to my favourites in the city 🤌🏽

  • 5/5 Sandy L. 6 months ago on Google
    The chicken here is delicious and great service! We enjoyed the fresh bread and all the other sides. Our family had just flown into Amsterdam and this was our first meal here. Thank you for the hospitality.

    Best chicken in Amsterdam. This was my first time here after so many reviews and I must say the food was great. I ordered pulled chicken tacos and fried chicken burger and OMG, the best hands down. The atmosphere was very nice too and the service was great as well. Highly recommended and will visit again.

    Both the grilled chicken & fried chicken are good. Tender, moist, and well marinated. The crispiness of the fried chicken is also good. Just nitpicking for improvement: there's still a little bit of poultry smell on the chicken, this could be further removed. Service is pretty OK for us, it was not busy though.

    Food was genuinely good, although they took quite a while to serve tables. Food came out really quickly, though. £1 for the sauce extra was expensive. £5.00 extra for fries that don't come with the meal was really over the top for the amount and texture of them.

    Long review short, was the best chicken I’ve ever had. Juicy, tender and the taste was on point! Service was good, no long waits. Food was received piping hot and I have nothing to add except, well done staff! I’ve discovered this restaurant by luck but I will definitely return.

    Chicken is my favourite meat and source of protein. When I spotted this restaurant on google map I was like, this is exactly my kind of place! 😍 I wasn’t disappointed! I ordered half a roast chicken with grilled vegetables. I didn’t eat the skin but it didn’t look like the crispy kind. It was thin and wasn’t too fat. The chicken was SO juicy and tender, with lots of flavors too! Not eating the skin didn’t affect anything. The grilled vegetables were asparagus, lots of bell peppers , cucumber and eggplant. The portion was generous. I wish I could eat at this place every day!

    More than pleasantly surprised by the tender juicy chicken that is being served here. Fell right off the bone and it had a nice crispy skin. Took the grilled vegetables on the side and was more than enough for one person.

    The restaurant has nice and cosy atmosphere, it is nice to be there. We ordered two half of chicken. So moist, tender and crunchy from outside. It was the best version of chicken. And bread - we ordered three portions - it was so good!!! Warm, crunchy, full of taste. The waiters are super friendly.

    The staff were very welcoming and friendly, and the place has so much potential. Firstly, it seemed that they are super understaffed. It took a long time to have anything we asked for (water, napkin, etc) The chicken tenders were unseasoned, it had no taste, just crispy The bread had no taste, but fluffiness level was great The half chicken was normal and didnt taste seasoning in the meat itself, just the skin The chicken burger might’ve been the best dish, the bun was great and the added sauce gave it a nice kick

    Delicious good and friendly staff! We walked in without a reservation and were seated right away. I really enjoyed the fried chicken burger and chicken tacos - but the tortilla was quite dry. Still delicious though!

    The Chicken Bar has friendly staff and fabulous food. The roasted chicken is their specialty and it's truly special. You can really taste the pickling that they use to make their chicken tender, as well as the herbs. The best value for money is definitely their chicken half. Sides and other menu items are priced a little high, but this seems relatively acceptable considering the placement in the heart of Amsterdam. Try it out for an American-style experience! 🐔

  • 5/5 Elena B. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place with delicious food, good service and reasonable prices. We ordered 2 spicy hamburgers, grilled veggies, French fries and beers. Everything was tasty and fresh. I highly recommend this bar.

    Great service and delicious food. We had the Crispy Chicken Burger and the Spice Pulled Chicken Burger. The waiter were super friendly too, bringing the huge board to our table and explaining us the menu.

    Attended back March for my birthday weekend. Was recommended this place by a few fiends. Food was ok didn’t think it was amazing. The taco had 3 small pieces of meat in them, wouldn’t recommend. Overall, an ok experience. Personally won’t come back again.

  • 5/5 Xia H. 2 years ago on Google
    A rotisserie that serves amazing marinated chicken and veal ribs. The side dishes are also delicious. You have to try it if you are in Amsterdam. Prices are affordable and the service is great.

    Best chicken I ever had. Even the veggies are delicious here. Definitely recommended! People who leave bad reviews because of Corona safety measures: What is wrong with you? You are a guest, follow the rules and let's all stay safe.

  • 4/5 Khiragni T. 1 year ago on Google
    This was our first visit to the chicken bar and we had a nice time. We ordered chicken tenders and chicken tacos for starters. The best chicken tenders we have ever eaten, much recommended. Chicken tacos were alright, not bad but nothing great in it. We ordered a rotisserie half chicken for main course and shared. The chicken was quite fresh and juicy. This place is definitely a try. We would definitely come again with our friends and try out other items.

  • 4/5 Reynaldo N. 1 year ago on Google
    The name of the place is definitely what is it. :D We tried chicken and was very tasty, and big enough for 4 people not specially hungry. The same as sides as onion rings, french fries, salad or tacos. We were a big group and they didn't have any problem. Even they had high chair for toddlers. Staff very professional and helpful.

  • 4/5 Nac V. 1 year ago on Google
    Good. The grilled chicken is the best dish. It is very juicy. The chicken Tacos was not bad but nothing special. The chicken came a bit dry already. Overall it is a well upgraded ‘fast food’ restaurant. The food is good but still missing a ‘home made’ taste.

  • 5/5 Yaqi X. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely staffs and amazing chicken wings! The roasted chicken is also really tender and juicy. Tacos are also worth a try.
