Cafetaria "De Fijnproever" in Zuid woongebied

After leaving Zaandam with a good friend of mine and my wife, we were actually supposed to stop by last Sunday because my friend unexpectedly couldn't make it. We decided to do it on September 27, 2025, when we arrived in Breda. We first went to Monkey Town with the little one. Once we were entertained, Cafetaria de Fijnproever was on the list. Once inside, you're immediately greeted, and I was allowed to choose a table. Cutlery is immediately brought out, and a coloring page is given to the little one. We ordered drinks, which we received promptly. Then we ordered our food, and while there was a huge selection, I decided to go with my friend to the Fijnproever. I looked at the plate and thought, "Man, I'm never going to finish this! So many fries!" But I have to, and I will, eat everything on it. Don't ask how, but we managed. My friend had the exact same thing, and he had the same attitude. I'm not leaving until I've finished my plate. The woman had peanut fries with onions. And a chicken nugget. It was delicious, better than I expected. Despite it being five o'clock, the cafeteria got busier and busier, but the service was still good. Finally, I wanted to pay and ended up with a nice amount. I wanted to give the guy a tip, but he wouldn't accept it because we'd all been on a long journey, and he was grateful for it. The only thing that might be nice would be if they'd asked if they could offer more drinks. Other than that, I really have nothing to complain about. Everyone got back in the car with a satisfied, full stomach and headed back to Zaandam. We'll definitely be back. 100% my compliments on the delicious food.

`not baked well bad milkshake too watery and disgusting food

We ordered fries (war fries) twice here. You get a good portion, but it's a shame if you think it should come with onions, you have to pay extra for them. That's not the case at many other chip shops.

I happened to stumble across the adventures of Luuka the Gourmet on YouTube and was surprised that people even drive for four hours to visit this place. I thought that wouldn't happen to me, despite the menu. The team thought otherwise, and it just so happened to be on my way. The place was neat, with plenty of seating and clean tables. The restrooms could have been a bit cleaner, and the cleanliness and smell were more important. No smell of shit or pee. Some of the team asked if the vegetarian snacks could be fried separately from the meat snacks. They could, but when they saw that there was already a meat snack in the fryer, they decided against it. Fries are generously served. This is also evident in one of the videos where someone orders two large portions and can't finish them. The team had a Gourmet (meat a bit bland), burgers (you have to eat them quickly and don't let them cool down), snacks (also eat them quickly), fries with mayonnaise, ketchup, and onions (the sauce could be more generous), fries with Belgian mayonnaise were nice and tangy and fresh, and the fries with special sauce (which was delicious, a mix of onion, curry, mayonnaise, and mysterious herbs) was delicious. The fries were typical snack bar fries and weren't super crispy, but they were doable. Sometimes there were soft bits in between, which were flavored by the sauces. And for dessert, we had ice cream from the vending machine. The ice cream was delicious. Some team members had a Sundea with chocolate or strawberry sauce. A tip: add nuts or chocolate chips! The sundea had to be eaten quickly, otherwise the sauce (which was generously served) would spill over the edge of the container. A few had thought about ordering a dame blanche and expected fresh scooped ice cream. It was just ice cream from the machine with chocolate sauce and a cookie. Too bad. Luuka was kindly helped, though he can be very direct in his communication or act too quickly. It took some getting used to seeing him walking around with a collar and a camera. Luuka's mother was also there, helping another group order. There was also a (new?) young lady who apparently wasn't in the mood that day and just walked around in circles. It's a place that can be addictive. There are some areas for improvement in hygiene (a black border around the window by the sink/ice machine) and to improve the quality of the dishes. Note that there are two menus on the table: one with the special assortment of dishes, etc., and one with the snacks. The food here is worth trying once.

I'm following this on YouTube. And via the D-route, fries, hogweed satay sauce, and a coke. On the motorcycle, through rain and wind, from Amersfoort - Etten-Leur via to Antwerp, NovaStar concert, Lotto Arena. Careful ⚠ driving (the vlogger) (+ 172km/15 years/no-claims 29 years), definitely have the VRO-R (2009 certificate, #knmv), and at the beginning of the ride I had to dodge a "ghost driver"... the VRO-R has saved my life six times now... I quickly went to the toilet and left things on the table, also secured... I stopped by briefly between 2011 and the present, See you in 2026! And I'll be back with the motorcycle club, and the parking lot. Is there enough space for about eighty (80) parking spaces? tables... Don't worry, I'll inform the mayor (Mayor Marina Starmans-Gelijns) if it applies. Sincerely, Yours sincerely,

Very friendly staff. And the food is delicious.

It was fantastic! We drove all the way from Limburg, and my parents and I thought it was definitely worth it because of all the videos, and we even got a free ice cream! Great place.

After watching your YouTube videos for a few weeks, my girlfriend and I decided to give it a try. We came all the way from Rotterdam. The food was amazing! Packed with flavor and worth every penny; we only paid €29.60. The atmosphere and service were also excellent. The interior is beautiful, and the gentleman and lady behind the counter are very kind. We were very satisfied with our visit, 10/10.

Simply delicious food, lovely dishes and milkshakes, very nice owner with nice tiktoks keep it up!

Bringing back memories and still delicious!

Food, great! Service, great! Wait time, despite the crowd, was great! We came specifically to meet the TikToker. Very friendly, and to top it all off, we even got a free ice cream (because we were one of them). Thanks again for the great service💪🏽

i often watch youtube videos shorts I see this cafataria the gourmet ette leur nice to see that he shows how he works, some people in that review who see his videos on tiktok, I only see his videos on youtube, I used to have tiktok 2020 best choice of my life that I deleted tiktok I will never use it again in 2025 I am not happy with it from tiktok from youtube I am happy with it you see better contents on youtube such as football videos social experiments funny videos on tiktok I kept seeing dancing girls.... strange pranks?? I'm glad I deleted TikTok :) Keep it up, man, with your videos on YouTube. I enjoy watching your videos. I live in Oosterhout, Brabant. I'll be going to this chip shop at least once in the future. Great! :) But the food looks delicious in the videos. :) Great! You're friendly. I'm friendly too. Your videos are really fun to watch.

Got a quick pickup. Excellent fries and snacks. Our tip: separate the hogweed and onions a bit before frying to ensure everything is nice and crispy.

We've been coming to this chip shop for years. It's great that the owner is so successful thanks to TikTok, but because of TikTok, this place is incredibly busy. Today we had to wait a ridiculously long time for fries for three people. We even called ahead, as always. After waiting 45 minutes in the shop, we finally got fries, but they were super hard. Not what we're used to from this gourmet restaurant. Unfortunately, orders haven't been quite right the last few weeks. It's a shame, because we always liked coming here, and there aren't many good chip shops in the area.

The four of us ate here this afternoon. We found it via TikTok. The guy was super nice, and we received excellent service. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was great. We had a wonderful time. Thank you so much!

Good stew and tasty shawarma with fries. It was very busy and crowded on a Sunday evening.

The food is delicious there 5 stars

From those who work in snack bars, we don't really like the snack brands they buy. This is true for the hogweed and bamischijf, but of course, this is just an opinion. A tip for snack bars: remove one or two pieces of meat/onion from the hogweed and place them loosely in the basket. This way, you can separate the meat and onion, and it will all cook evenly. No ugly white spots on the meat and no raw onion. However, the amount of sauce is more than enough.

After watching many TikTok videos about this cafeteria, we took the time to sit on the terrace, and as you can see on TikTok, the service was very polite. The TikToker himself helped us, and he puts service first. After a short wait, we received our food, and it was more than worth the 160 km drive. We recommend De Fijnproer as a very good cafeteria that focuses on customer focus and quality over quantity. The other staff were also very friendly.

Despite the crowds, we still got our food quickly and it tasted good, but that's why we were there😁

The food was delicious. Friendly and quick ordering. Really great.

This is a great chip shop, it's just like a restaurant, nice staff, great that they also make videos

I've always had good experiences with this free shop, and today was no different! There was a small issue with my order (some things were forgotten), but it was resolved immediately and very efficiently. I was able to pick up the new order right away and even received a discount coupon for my next order. The service was truly excellent, customer-friendly, and fast. You can tell they value their regular customers and do everything they can to make things right if something goes wrong. Highly recommended.

After a lot of tiktok "violence" we arrived in Etten-Leur to test the homemade fries and some snacks as fries connoisseurs and enthusiasts🧐. The cafeteria is easily accessible with ample parking. Everything looks neat inside and we are kindly helped by an employee. The tiktokker himself is hiding in the kitchen 🤭. Too bad... but it's all about the food of course. The fries are of good quality and perfectly fried. On a scale of 1 to 10 we give these fries an 8 🥳. As can also be seen regularly in the tiktok videos, the snacks are often ready before the fries. And that is actually not possible😱. We have now seen the result ourselves, is that some snacks still look raw on the inside! We had a mix stick, cervela and a belcrunch. Tip for the mix stick: slide the pieces apart a little. The pieces of snacks looked the same on the inside as they are on the counter. The belcrunch could be cut further so that it is also cooked properly. Foodie is a good name for the fries, but not yet for some snacks😉.

Luca is a nice guy. Even though it was very busy he still took the time so my mother could take a picture of me with him. The food was also delicious. Greetings Djoël from Doetinchem

Fast, tasty and friendly! Top 👍🏻

One of the better cafeterias in Etten-Leur. Certainly in terms of atmosphere & appearance. Service is also good. It's usually busy here, but they're always fast. Well attuned to each other. In terms of food, it is unfortunately mediocre, just like the other cafeterias in EL.

Come here regularly for fries. Last time my fries were drenched in mayo. Fries mayo. Wash mayo fries. Had to throw that away. Today hogweed was badly burned, the onions were all black and inedible. There are two women (baking) the rest are watching. I'm going to look for another chip shop.

Had to wait quite a long time for a bami slice and fricandeau sandwich. While there was 1 table occupied in the restaurant and 1 other person was on hold. I think it's pricey.

A cozy cafeteria where you can eat well

Tasty fresh food, nice service. good thing!

The staff is always friendly. The fries are of good quality. Wide choice on the menu.

It has become much more expensive

Very nice to eat with a group. Not only good but also a lot, really a lot that you get for your money. Service is good

Ordering in advance by telephone works great. Fast, pleasant and friendly service. Good quality of products

Here you can eat well for little money, the service is excellent. Everything is nicely prepared and served with care. The steak and the grill dish are really fantastic. The business has just been completely renovated and looks beautiful, they have worked hard on this, sjapoo.

Super clean and super tasty food, lots of variety too. Very friendly people who work here! Highly recommended!

Vanwege familiebezoek in Etten-Leur hier friet stoofvlees enzo besteld. Geweldige drukte in de zaak maar ozo goed georganiseerd. Complimenten van een Westerling !!!!!

Jaaaah hier MOET je gewoon eens je frietje halen. Binnen eten is ook echt top, uitgebreide kaart, snelle bediening, lekker eten!

Snel geholpen,lekkere snacks en vooral voldoende, en keurig toilet

Vriendelijk meisje, lekkere friet, niet vet maar smakelijk.

Erg lekkere friet en snacks, goede en snelle service voor een eerlijke prijs. Top!

Love the fries, love the topping, just great visiting the place after 20 years

Voor mij 1 van de beste cafetaria's

Dit is mijn favoriete restaurant ten alle tijden, Het personeel is heel vriendelijk, behulpzaam en je voelt je gelijk thuis. Vooral de kleine Aziatische meisje met een bril. De prijzen zijn daarnaast relatief goedkoop en krijg je voldoende eten voor wat je betaald

Een cafetaria met passie alles altijd vers en lekker

Tja goede zaak niet verkeert veel keus

Heerlijk gegeten. Uitgebreide kaart. Vragen bediening!

Goede cafetaria. Personeel werkt hard en loopt gesmeerd ondanks de drukte. Zaak is heel schoon. Kortom prima

Altijd vriendelijk, altijd lekker

In korte tijd hebben we hier nu voor de tweede keer gegeten. Eenvoudige, maar heerlijke (& eerlijke) schotel voor een acceptabele prijs.

Goede snackbar. Met vegetarische frikandel. Frietjes zijn lekker.

As a big fan of bubble tea, must say that this bubble tea tastes really bad 🫤

Wat was her weer super Zo heerlijk Een aan rader

Rustig kunnen eten op een doordeweekse dag. Restaurant ziet er na de verbouwing stukken beter uit. Qua menu/presentatie van je frietje is niets veranderd;). Eten is lekker en bediening is vriendelijk.

Sinds ik ben verhuisd is dit mijn vaste caferatia geworden vanwege het goede eten, het vriendelijke personeel en de goede prijs/kwaliteit verhouding. Sinds kort bieden ze ook verschillende smaken bubble tea aan waar ik zeer tevreden over ben!

Je kan erg lekker eten hier. Ik had een frietje oorlog besteld. Die was erg lekker alleen het minpunt was dat de mayo en sate naar beneden waren gezakt waardoor je eerst goed moet zoeken om friet te vinden met sate of mayo erop. Kipkorn hier is ook erg lekker!

Dat was echt lekker bij de fijnproever

Heerlijk eten en wat hebben ze de zaak een mooie facelift gegeven.

Heel lekker gegeten,en gezellig personeel.

Frietjes waren zacht en niet gaar. Erg jammer. Weinig uitjes bij de frikadel. Teveel mayonaise op een klein frietje,middelgrote friet te weinig mayonaise en curry.

Daar kun je heel goed eten echt een aanrader

Lekker eten voor redelijke prijs...
