    We visited this little restaurant while site seeing at the city center. We were told Fritland was a “must-visit” while in Brussels, but with their recent reviews online we opted out of the long wait and went around the corner to Manneken Frites. We do not regret our decision. The staff were friendly and offered food recommendations. They serve great fries much like other restaurants in the area. I paid €3.70 for a “small” cone of fries and they were fantastic. Highly recommend visiting while in the area.

    I would highly recommend NOT eating here. The employees were extremely rude and I felt as if they looked down upon us when we ordered in English. The price they gave us was not the price listed on the board. The gentleman picked up my burger bun with his bare hands and placed it on a dirty counter. This is also the same person who handles money and he did not wash his hands afterward. The food was terrible and I felt gross after eating it. Everything in my gut was telling me to leave while he was preparing our food but they had already started and I felt like it was already too late. I wish I would have read the reviews before I went in. My girlfriend took one bite out of her burger and threw it away. This has to be one of the worst food experiences I have had in recent memory. Trust your gut if it tells you not to eat at a place. I feel so unclean after eating here and can't believe I spent money on this. There are much better places in Belgium, do yourself a favor and eat elsewhere.

    I don't understand how it's called the best fries place. the fries were incredibly bad. It was as if they had used the same oil for years. I got an upset stomach because of potatoes.

    Walking down the streets of Brussels and we were always passing by kebab shops. We were getting super super hungry so finally we stopped by this place that looks pretty nice and it was here at Manneken Frites. We ordered durum wraps and took it to go. It was pretty nice to eat and tasted good.

    Every Sunday, we stop at our favourite fries parlour: Manneken Frites for our weekly dose of exquisite Belgian Fries! Chill loves Samurai sauce, while Fluffy’s fav is Andalouse. There are a ton of different sauces for all palates. They also sell typical Belgian fast food. Fast service! If you ever come to Belgium it’s a must! 🍟🇧🇪💛 👊🏼⭐️💙

    The service is horrible. The food tastes like dog food. Most of the sauces taste like water. Please do yourself a favor and eat somewhere else.

    Clearly you need to very very careful at the prices. The price announced is Not what is written on the board (i.e 3.5 instead of 2.2). Once corrected, the cash back is AGAIN mistaken, not at your advantage. The waiter suddenly pretend not to speak french and try to switch to english to trick us. Bad luck. So be verrry carefull if you spend your money there !

    6,50€ for frites spécial is overpriced. The fries don’t taste good. Kinda blend. Way to much mayo and only a dash of ketchup in comparison. Don’t recommend. Not worth it. The combination just doen’t work at this restaurant.

    Very nice staff and great food! So far the only spicy food (I requested for it to be extra spicy) I actually got in Europe, and I have lived here for two years! Would come back.

    The fries were so fresh and crispy, great sauce options (would recommend the curry ketchup). The guy behind the counter was friendly and the service was quick.

    Staff were rude and argumentative. Serving size was a ripoff - the greek salad looked pathetic for 12 euros. I would rather go hungry than eat here again.

    A fusion of American and Arabic cuisine, like burgers with koft. The prices were between 1€ - 10€. And delicious. Thanks for the excellent service.

    Not such a good value for the price due to low quality I had a cheesburger combo for € 9 - that comes with a cheesburger, fries and a softdrink. It was enough, the fries were good, but the cheesburger was not right. My main issue was the cheesburger's patty, which was seemingly not a beef patty. I don't know what it was - but I know that it does not belong in a cheesburger. All in all, the burger was not very enjoyable - therefore the meal wasn't very enjoyable.

    Frites are tasty, not the best in Brussels but still enjoyable. Went for the spéciale (mayo, curry ketchup and onions) which was pretty reasonable at around €5, not too bad for the centre of Brussels. There is indoor and outdoor seating and a toilet too if eating in.

    Fair prices. Staff turned surprisingly unfriendly after ordering in English (over the preferred 'French') and the quality of the fries, and quantity of the sauce was disappointing. Look further, I'm sure you can find something cheaper/better/more authentic!

    Nice crispy fries and mitraillette for reasonable prices and great service. Probably not the best fries in Brussels but well worth the while (and not as horrible of a queue as other places). We were here twice in a day!

    Large menu. I didn't like fries. Having tasted the food, the oil was used too many times for frying when I ate there. There is plenty of choice. Vegan and vegetarian dishes. They have a very large choice on sauces. From my experience, there was a very long queue. They accept card payments for an amount greater than 10 euros.

    Tasty fries but the Bicky burger has nothing to do with the original recipe, it is just a burger & you decide on your ingredients; also, it would be highly appreciated if the guy taking the money wouldn’t help with the preparing of the burgers without gloves, as we are still in a post pandemic world and we should respect some hygiene measures

  • 3/5 Kalliana K. 9 months ago on Google • 101 reviews
    Average at best. Chips were freshly made / hot and crispy but really the whole Belgian fries thing is just not blowing me away. Just felt like getting chips from the local fish and chip shop back home and tasted like it too - which is not a bad thing, it’s just not special!

  • 5/5 Nico 2 months ago on Google • 84 reviews New
    Nice fries and sauces - recommend the joppie and samurai. Staff also very friendly and happy

  • 1/5 ten_ s. 6 months ago on Google
    Scammer for tourists and they are racism toward asian, specially when u talk out in English. The shopkeepers even don’t understand a single word of Dutch. Still they won’t miss any chance to let you pay more. For example, we ordered a fricadelle and requested them to put the fries separately, which costs 7 euro according to their own menu; but they finally charged us 8.5 euro, playing tricks with us customers. But the most important part is that the fries are even worse than McDonald’s.

  • 5/5 Jackson P. 8 months ago on Google
    This place is great! My wife and I were in Brussels and ended up eating a late night meal here every single night. The prices are reasonable and the staff is very friendly. I will definitely be back next time I’m in town!

  • 5/5 R. H. 8 months ago on Google
    Good food, friendly service. Less crowded than the neighbor (when we four were there on a Monday evening) We had fries and fricandels.

  • 5/5 Rebeccat T. 5 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    best fries in Brussels!!!!! try the aioli and the andalouse sauces

  • 5/5 Elena 11 months ago on Google
    The chips here are delicious. Crispy outside, fluffy inside! You get a little fork to eat them with so no worries about getting hands dirty. Good value for money too, reasonable for the location. Staff are friendly and the only downside is the popularity! If it's a tolerable wait, you should definitely try these chips!

  • 1/5 William G. 2 months ago on Google New
    These people are thieves. They never take bank cards and have been pretending for 8 years (which is how long I have lived here), that their card machine is broken. In short, they do not declare the money they make, even though it is MANDATORY in Belgium to accept bancontact card payments. They should be flagged to the tax department! Also, they are super rude.

  • 5/5 Anupam R. 1 year ago on Google
    These guys are amazing. I tried f Belgium fries from them. Two young guys were handling counter and was so polite and entertaining. Food quality was superb 👌

  • 1/5 Eirini P. 2 years ago on Google
    The fries don't really taste like authentic Belgian fries, they don't have that special flavor you're looking for, they're instead just plain French fries. Also, the person who served us made a mistake in our order (used the wrong sauce). The cheese croquet was good.

  • 4/5 SEBASTIAN'S S. 2 years ago on Google
    Heart of Brussels + fast service = fantastic delicious fries 🍟. Swing by for a quick bite as you explore this magical city.

  • 5/5 Witold S. 2 years ago on Google

  • 1/5 Anastasiia F. 2 years ago on Google

  • 1/5 Hémilly T. 2 years ago on Google
    I had a bad experience in this place. The guy was agressive with me and my husband and was unpleasant with his Young employee. Avoid this place! I am Pitty of his employee, who was really Nice with us. There are several better frittur around the city. I never Saw somenthing like this in my life!

  • 5/5 Betharia A. 4 years ago on Google
    Tasty Belgian french fries with dipping sauce on top, they also serve many fast food such as kebab, burgers, fried chicken stick, etc.

  • 5/5 Aura M. 2 years ago on Google
    Good belgian fries, crunchy and tasty, the taste is a bit different from what I am used to but in a good way, it's special! It was comforting to get those warm fries in a cold rainy day.

  • 1/5 dhurba k. 2 years ago on Google
    The one star is too much to give. The workers were rude. I repeated my order thrice to the guy, he served me wrong food and when i confronted they were not ready to accept their fault. They make fun of their clients.I feel disgusted and offended by their behaviour and I didn’t eat their food because I was not sure what was in there. I don’t recommend this place to any tourist or locals. Worst experience ever. Money wasted.

  • 5/5 Asha C V. 1 year ago on Google
    I really liked the french fries. affordable price range

  • 5/5 Younes F. 2 years ago on Google
    I highly recommend it. I was this Friday around 11:00 p.m. I took a marinated chicken plate, it's an unforgettable experience. go go go

  • 1/5 Dreama 2 years ago on Google
    The fries were very soggy and the grease tasted old. Find a more authentic spot and try all the sauces. There’s great fries in Brussels but this is not the spot.

  • 1/5 Alvin V. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow! What can I say. If I could give zero stars, I would have. I ordered a cheeseburger and fries and they were the worst! Stopping here was a mistake. The burger was terrible and I couldn’t even finish it. The service behind the counter was the worst that I’ve ever experienced. You the young man was rude, obnoxious, and was difficult to deal with. My instinct told me to leave but I didn’t. Follow your instinct. Do yourself a favor and eat somewhere else.

  • 4/5 Liam 1 year ago on Google
    Not sure what all the bad reviews are about? Tasty cheap burgers and chips, staff aren't premium waiters and the food isn't haute couture but it's 5 euro for a burger chips and drink, I'd say you get above what you pay for.

  • 4/5 TAWFIQ A. 1 year ago on Google
