Cafetaria De Braak in Wijk 11 Helmond-Oost

The coffee machine is supposedly broken; there's only tea. The toilet is also supposedly out of order. And this is at a truck stop on a major highway. No, thank you.

The staff is very unfriendly. When I wanted to pay by card, the man behind the counter said in an unfriendly tone that he couldn't smell that I wanted to pay. And when he asked if he should wrap it up or take it away and I said "eat here please," he reacted angrily with "so don't wrap it up!" So, customer service is very poor. If you park your bike there and don't come inside, they throw your bike on the street or somewhere in the bushes. Even though there is no sign saying you aren't allowed to park your bike there, otherwise people would know. In any case, it is not legal to just take someone's belongings, and certainly not to throw them down somewhere like in the bushes or on the street. If you stand in front of it for even a moment, they come and tell you to leave. The food tastes decent, but there is nothing special about it. Personally, I think it's worthless and I would never come here again.

Owner and owner's wife very friendly and delicious food

The man behind the counter is very unfriendly, really shocked!! The sauce is really ridiculously expensive; I ordered a large portion with mayo, but I got a small curry fries. I mentioned that I hadn't ordered that, and the man said I needed to be clearer and that my bike was in the bushes. The worst part is that I actually paid for a large portion of fries. The woman was nice though; she stopped the man when he started throwing rubber ducks. I AM NEVER COMING HERE AGAIN!!!!!!!!

An old-fashioned cafeteria with a wide selection and reasonable prices. And top quality. And plenty of parking space.

The guy behind the counter is very unfriendly and grumpy; upbringing is nowhere to be found. The food was otherwise fine, but nothing special.

You just scared some children I know with your childish behavior. I still have a spot available. Then I'll teach you how to deal with children. This is not allowed. From what I read, you hate children. Please put up a sign, "No children." Uh, those children had a good upbringing. When I read here how you treat children, who's to blame? Can you also help by facing the truth? Because you shouldn't blame those children for your behavior. But show clearly how you are accepted. It will save the kids a very bad experience. Answer to your reaction. 1. The way you already react here on your site... no, I will never come. 2. If you know what you're doing to those children... which I have seen... how children are treated... 3. You really need to seek help.

Delicious food, good service and very nice people Frans and Corrine ❣️

What a grumpy staff/owners, very unfriendly and curt with my children, you won't see us anymore

On Friday, August 15, 2025, I stopped by for a few snacks just before closing time before heading to the Kasteeltuin parties in Helmond. The owners were very friendly and receive ducks from customers all over the world. There are plenty of them on display throughout the restaurant. The cafeteria is small, but you can sit inside for fries.

It smelled like poop in there, food was expensive compared to other places and the staff was very grumpy.

What a wonderful surprise, Ducktaria! Instead of a regular cafeteria, you're greeted by an army of rubber ducks. Ducks everywhere! Even the sign says it all: Ducktaria. The fries and snacks were great, and the atmosphere even better. A super fun place with friendly people; you'll happily waddle over!

I brought my own drinks, but I hadn't read that we weren't allowed to bring drinks, and he immediately got angry with me. I'm never coming back. That man was really grumpy, and I barely tasted my frikandel special because there was too much sauce on it. And the regular hamburger I had wasn't even a hamburger; it didn't even taste like a burger. I'm never coming back. (Edit) Now that I see the owner's review, I wish he had had a better upbringing. Wow, oh, oh, oh.

Good service and friendly Staff

Have been making a lot of mistakes lately with orders taken there. You really shouldn't be there when it's busy! Because that will really go wrong. You pay for sauce but you don't get any sauce. Well, I think you should really pay attention to all orders that are placed and really check your order before you leave it there because you can return it at any time to change it.

★★★★★ Cafetaria De Braak is a real insider tip for anyone who loves the classic snack bar style with a special flair. The decorative decor, featuring what feels like 1,000 rubber ducks, is an absolute highlight and creates a unique atmosphere. All the typical snack classics are available here, and the Dutch specialties are especially delicious. Anyone looking for authentic food in a special atmosphere should definitely stop by!

Good hairstyle The price has also become more expensive now

It is a very unique cafeteria when you first come, the hostess and gentleman are very friendly. About the food it was also tasty the royal chicken burger was also surprisingly large

People at the counter are rushed and not polite. They certainly can't handle a little criticism. The answers you give to customer reviews are not how you acquire customers. Shame!

I always go to this chip shop, it's only a 3-minute walk. Nice people, always up for a chat or a joke, my wife always orders the Nazi ball, such a shame that there are so many negative reactions, these people do their utmost, and yes, if you take your wedges with you, then you ask for a response from the owner. clearly a sign stating that bringing your own food and drinks is not allowed. Learn to read gvd. I will keep coming there

Friendly staff, good prices and quick service

Nice wooden kibble with very nice owners.

Have to be in Helmond regularly for work and always drop by this cafeteria, good food and nice, hardworking people! The meatball is highly recommended here See you again soon!

It’s easy access at the bus stop like commuters like me waiting the bus. The location is fantastic. The service is fast and the lady is friendly. The ambiance is clean and full of duck designs toys. The food is good and fast. Compliment Difinitely for take away food.

Food is not very good service is adequate atmosphere is very bad

Great people that you can have a nice chat with.

I didn't feel like cooking the day before yesterday, so I decided to take it easy and go to the chip shop. Family bag of fries, portion of chicken fingers (for son) and two grilled hamburgers. If only we had never done that! Probably got food poisoning! My son had no problems, so we suspect it is due to the burgers. Diarrhea and stomach cramps for two days. You will never see us here again!

I don't recommend eating dirty food🤮

Very bad people, bad treatment and bad food. I definitely don't recommend them

Been working around the corner there for a number of months. Sometimes a sandwich, other times a greasy mouth or an ice cream. It's all good. Lovely people who provide a good meal and a nice chat. I'm not from Helmond myself, but if I'm in the area and I'm hungry, I'll come and get fries from you! See you next week😉

The fries were very tasty, but the ones who worked there were not worth it

Nice chip shop with friendly people! Don't understand the rude comments! Very tasty food and good milkshakes, I will come back here more often!!!

I got fries, the family bag had more than enough in it. Only the sauces cost more than the family bag itself. Grumpy man not customer friendly. I couldn't believe that I had to pay 7 euros for mayonnaise and satay sauce. I'll hear from him again. Have you ever seen a snack bar in Amsterdam where it costs more? Oh oh never come again

Have had several bad experiences and the owner (male) is always grumpy. We were there with a school, 2 teachers and 5 students. The man came in and just pushed the teacher aside and said: Can't you see or something! Yesterday I had physical education at the tennis club opposite the chip shop, so I park my bike there and the man comes running again: "What's that going on here!!!". I then said: Yes sir, I have gym there. Then he said again: "Yes, only if you buy something here. And if you don't take your bike away now, it will be right there on the trailer!". Then I left my bike at the new swimming pool So in general: Grumpy man, please retire and I advise all my friends/family not to ever get anything there again. You will NEVER see me there again!!

Nice people, affordable and top quality

Bought two very tasty croquette sandwiches here. Case can be called 'classic' - a bit like the famous snack bar of Maaskantje: I felt at home there! The lady behind the counter was very nice - and when I asked she told me about her collection of almost 500 rubber ducks that she started during the corona period, when everyone was on their own. (nice gathering place for a 2CV club, there is a large parking lot behind!) See pictures!

Hier moet je wezen voor een heerlijk frietje of voor een lekkere snack

Super lieve mensen, super lekker eten. Top service.

Voor mij de leukste cafetaria in Helmond, Altijd tijd voor een praatje, en natuurlijk niet onbelangrijk goede kwaliteit producten. Van harte aanbevolen!

Lekkere frietjes en snacks voor een nog betaalbare prijs

Leuke inrichting voor een frietkotje, frietjes waren prima en een attente verkoper.

Des nondeju een goei friettent zeg. en da stoofvlees nog nooit z.n lekkere gehad .en ik ha een gehaktbal zo groot as ene voetbal ...echt top👌👌👌

Helemaal prima, passend bij een avondje Helmond Sport

Prima snackbar. Gezellige eigenaar.

Heel leuk tentje en zeer aardige mensen

De beste frites van Helmond......

Kwamen toevallig er bij langs Prima eten en leuk personeel Lekker buiten in het zonnetje gezeten

Een onaangenaam gevoel bekroop mij toen ik pas geleden binnenstapte. Het interieur is oud en (bijna) versleten. Ik rook een onfrisse bak lucht van oud frituur vet. Toen ik aan de beurt was, vroeg ik mij af of de snacks en friet er niet te lang lagen, wel vers waren en of ik er icm oud vet niet ziek van zou worden. Het viel gelukkig mee, maar ik ga niet meer terug.

Verschrikkelijke lekkere hamburgers.

Friet, frikandel, broodje kroket en de saus ed was top

Lekkere frites in puntzak, smaakt tóch altijd goed! Broodje hamburger goed verzorgd en lekkere kroket. Aardige eigenaresse (denk ik) die gezellig mee buurt en ook van humor houdt. Zie bijgevoegde foto's 🤣

Klant vriendelijk goede kwaliteit eten suoer

Patat en snacks waren best goed. Het vriendelijke servicegerichtheid mag beter

Veel te duur en geen lekkere friet. Niet vers

Lekker gegeten alleen vind ik het personeel niet erg enthousiast. Tijd voor een praatje is er niet.

Voor een lekker frietje moet je hier zijn

Prima snackbar, helaas geen pinbetaling mogelijk

Supervriendelijke mensen en de beste frieten van Helmond
