Thrill Grill

We quite like this place relative to other Dutch restaurants. The service is always quite good, the burgers are nice, and they have a favorite beer of mine: Anchor Steam (albeit absurdly overpriced compared to its cost in San Francisco).

Ok burger. nothing too special coming from the US, but satisfying.

I’ll just get straight to it this time. no long story telling about my experience. so here it goes:
This was a disappointment!
After reading everyones raving reviews about this place I thought ‘yes i have to try it’ well I tried, I saw, and I was impressed.
Maybe we came on a bad evening, where their whole staff was off their game? Maybe our taste buds were off? Maybe the expectations were to high but the fact remains it was a sad, yes not bad, but sad experience.
It was my friends birthday so wanting to do something special for him as he was here from London visiting me I decided to take him to this place for a good hearty manly meal. The moment we sat down I already noticed that it must have been our waitress her first day. Poor girl was dropping things, forgot to up sell and if you asked her a question well she just couldn’t really answer you. Since we all have had a first day at some point in our lives she was forgiven, I mean we all need to learn right.
But the out came the burgers, these were dry. Yes dry! there was nothing special about them and I had taken the culinary Kranenborg, well I am sorry Mr Kranenborg but if this is your signature it is not a very good one.
Even the chili cheese fries where tasteless.
Next time it is back to the Butcher or Rotisserie if I want a burger.
Reason for a 2 star? well 1 star just seems to harsh.

French fries the way I like ‘em: skins on, thin but not overly long, in a generous portion and well crispy! No thick Flemish style frites here. DELICIOUS!
My son devoured his classic «thriller» and declared it flavorful while I took one look at the thick piece of salmon on mine and took off the bun! The fish was perfect, tender and moist and the butter lettuce soft and fresh. Only nit picking criticism — could have had more sauce as the fillet was not small. Our server was nice but not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Just ok. Nice venue and terrace. service was great… burgers are average and on the bland side

While the place itself is at a nice location, staff is friendly– the burgers though need to step up their game a notch. Pijp has a high competition for quality burgers in this area and Thrill Grill might be on the list for «burgers » tag, but not at its top… Yet?

Right by the Albert Cuyp market, this is a nice place to get a little bit away from the crowd. With seating indoors and outdoors, you have an option of scenery. The inside is rather nice and chill for a burger joint and the out side area is rather small, but still nice to be out and enjoying the weather if it’s nice.
It was a beautiful day when my friend and I had lunch here. They open at noon, so just keep that in mind. The menu looks like a newspaper which was kind of fun, but without all the small print. It’s very clear that they only do a few things… but I like those kind of places. All kinds of burgers, and some hot dogs are what most people probably get. The burger was a decent burger. Is it the best in Amsterdam? Not in my opinion. Would I go there again? Yes! I want to take my husband there now.
I had the classic burger with bacon and cheese. Very good. But the one tiny piece of bacon was disappointing. At that point, you only get two bites with bacon in it. The burger was cooked well and had a better consistency than most I’ve had in A’dam. I also got an order of fries which are not the typical fries you find in these parts, but they were good! Right on Thrill Grill. I’ll be back.

i was very very pleasantly suprised with this place! I had walked by it a couple of times and thought… oh a new burger joint. Then we needed a place to take my partner’s kids (3 hungry boys), my partner and I. I called to see if they take reservations, but they don’t so we decided to take a risk and see if we could get seated on a thursday evening. We arrived about 7pm and shortly after that it got packed!
We all got the classic burger, a burger with cheese, bacon and all the fixings. It was delicious. Good quality meat, well seasoned and nice bun. Only criticism is that the bun/​beef patty ratio was not equal. The bun was quite bigger than the patty. We also got normal french fries and one with parmesan and truffle oil. They were delicious, especially the cheese fries. Next time I will try their milk shakes, hoping they are a proper thick milkshake and not the watered down ones you often find in the NL. But judging by everything else, i’ll bet they make a good proper one. They also have heinz ketchup on every table, something you don’t normally find.
I believe one of the top chefs is the founder of this joint. There was something written about it in the menu (which btw, is written only in english) but i was too hungry and excited to eat so I didn’t read it.
Service was also quite good here. I’ll be back to try more since they have a handful of other dishes such as hotdogs, salads and other types of hamburgers such as chicken and pull pork burgers.

Nice little hipster burger joint in De Pijp. I got the classic beef thriller, herb fries, and a large vanilla milkshake. Boyfriend got the classic hot dog, regular fries and a large strawberry milkshake. Everything was great. Servers were nice. Lunch for two people and it was just under € 30.

Pulled pork was dry, as was hot dog, and buns could have been purchased from Jumbo. No love for food, tasted and looked like a corporate exploitation of the hamburger trend.

Very nice burgers and great atmosphere. It just opened and this is already very popular so make sure you come early.
