De Egelshoek Cafeteria in Landelijk Gebied

Nice place. Tasty food. Good coffee too. Friendly service.

By the beautiful Hoorneboegse heath, where you can walk your dog well. Nice terrace.

€3.30 for tea in a disposable cup!

The first time I was there, they were very unfriendly. Then I saw it was closing time and thought, "Okay... they're done for the day." The second time, I ordered a vegetarian bami disc and ended up getting a regular one with chicken. The third time was today: Unfriendly again, just like the first time. It took a long time (15 min wait) while there were only 2 tables left in front of me (2 people and 3 people). But the best part of all: The owner just went to smoke right next to the eating customers. When I left, I said, "As an owner, just sitting down to smoke next to your eating customers isn't very polite," and she just replied, "Well, it is what it is!" 😅 So all in all, really not recommended! They are just lucky and are in a good location. I'm just going somewhere else where the customer is still appreciated 🙄👎🏼

Good cafeteria opposite Hilversum airport and right by the forest, ample parking

The soft serve ice cream tastes good, but this is the second summer in a row that the soft serve is way too warm with just a bit of sun; you step out the door and your ice cream has already melted, and the toppings can't be put on because the ice is too soft.

Nice forest cabin where you can enjoy a good meal. Friendly people. Parking right outside. Toilet available.

We had a lovely spontaneous lunch there for two. It was really delicious (fried egg, chicken burger), the staff were friendly and helpful, and it's a great location with a beautiful view. It's situated by the road, so it's a lovely place to spend time for a stopover. Highly recommended!

Good food. Take into account that it can be busy and therefore there may be waiting times.

Waited for one portion of pataat and 1 sandwich for 25 mins. When I came to ask where our food is, they finally started making it without even saying sorry that they forgot about our order. Also tea portion is really tiny- for 3,5 eur you get half a paper cup.

Delicious fries and soft serve ice cream

Always good for a delicious soft ice cream

Snack bar near the Hilversum heath, nice, tasty fries and friendly staff.

Delicious meatball sandwich, salmon, fries, delicious snacks, fish, etc.

Stopped by here on my way home from work. In the mood for an ice cream. Bought a cone with soft serve. Rarely have I eaten such delicious ice cream! Highly recommended!

Great stop for a quick bite and a drink.

Best fries in Hilversum and the surrounding area

Is a good snack bar tasty? The food is good, the milkshakes are good too.

Great food, great service and great atmosphere plus location next to the Airport Hilversum and 'de hei'.

It's fine in itself, really, but if you charge €3.80 for a small can of soda, then you're just outrageously expensive.

After a walk across the heath, pop in for a hot meal, always good!

The croquettes aren't good here. They're either floury or fried in old fat.

Tasty fries, just a shame there are only a few places to sit inside and stay warm

Come on, €4 for a cheese soufflé, is that made of gold or something? And it doesn't really feel like you're eating at the Librije.

Always delicious food and cozy location!

On my way home, I stopped for a quick bite. The menu offers regular snacks as well as more elaborate meals with seasoned meats and specialties. I opted for the Hedgehog Corner sandwich and regular fries. The fries were cooked well, not too long or too short. I often prefer my fries a bit more well-done, but these were perfectly cooked and not too brown. The sandwich was delicious, and it also came with fried onions and mushrooms. After ordering, I was able to sit down. There are neat picnic tables here. Everything looks clean and tidy. I was surprised when my order arrived: not in plastic containers, but on a stone plate with cutlery. Sustainable and more pleasant than eating with your hands. The food was more than enough.

Ordered two coffees, one cheese sandwich, and one fricandeau sandwich. Total cost: €15.50. Absolutely outrageously expensive. The coffee comes in a paper cup. The sandwiches are fresh and excellent, but for €4.40 per sandwich, they deserve some decoration. €3.50 for a plain frikandel and almost €5 for a portion of fries is truly outrageous. Farmers get 0.03 cents per kilo of potatoes, while here at the snack bar, they charge €30 per kilo!

Great for a quick bite, also nice and old-fashioned when they ask, do you want Ketchup or Curry on your fries special, delicious!!

Delicious food, excellent quality

A very nice place, accessible by car, on foot, or by bike, close to the road, right across from the airport. Great ice cream! The food is also good. The service is very friendly, I recommend it to everyone. And don't complain about the price, because it's not expensive at all; they have to make a profit too. Best regards.

Extremely expensive. A croquette €3.85!! Well, ma'am, everything is expensive. A can of Coke Zero €3.85. When I asked if that was okay, I was yelled at by the "always incredibly (not) friendly" man behind the fryer. We're definitely not people who are afraid to spend money on anything, but this is truly outrageous.

A giant soft ice cream for only 2.20

Stopped there for ice cream with a motorcycle buddy. It's a fantastic location. A nice spot across from the airport. And the portions of fries and other items I saw passing by looked delicious.

Wonderful food stand, with a menu of standard Dutch food. I consider it to be what a fast food stand is, but the food is actually very good, the terrace is wonderful, the staff is very friendly. Overall, a wonderful place to grab a bite on your way, in the shade of the trees.

Nice terrace, right next to Hilversum airport and the forest.

If there's one thing that's cool, it's the LCD gauges in the oven/baking/deep fryer. These things, ubiquitous these days, make heavy things light and are a relief in that sense that they bring a smile to your face, even in a warm baking environment. More reviews like this, please!

The best soft ice cream of our vacation

Good place to enjoy a snack after a walk or a visit to Hilversum airport. Just an old-fashioned good snack bar with the accompanying food. Ice cream and continue walking. You can sit outside, covered and sheltered.

Very expensive! And mediocre quality frikandellen. I think these are really cheap Makro frikandellen where there are 40 of them in a box for € 10.00 Snacks are way too expensive. Croquette € 3.50 Frikandel € 3.50 Mexicano € 4.00 Bottle of water € 3.80 (are bottles from Lidl that cost € 0.15 there)

Outside with covered terrace, long tables with benches.

Good portions of food for a good price, good start or end of a walk on the heath

Really great snack bar, delicious ice cream and the half and half sandwich was also great.

Ate here today,....... Only a bit shocked by the prices. They are a bit lower where I live in South Limburg, 😇. The order was taken by a friendly lady, and you could sit down and get a message on a buzzer when it was ready..... I had a small portion of fries with mayonnaise, and that small was more than enough and quite a bit of mayonnaise separate from the fries. The fries were perfectly fried and very tasty. The snacks were also well fried and tasty. Despite the crowds, everything was ready fairly quickly. All this made up for the higher price. If I were in the area again, I would definitely come back. Beautiful location, and well and neatly maintained.

Now nice new benches in a covered area. Delicious food and quickly on the table.

Use to go here in my childhood with my parents, nothing have changed same taste , good service . We had a good moment of memory lane

Unfortunately we were cheated with the payment. We paid a little more than € 19,-. Now we have redrawn everything at home. It should have been € 16.80. We asked for 3 fries (2 with sauce) she charged the Jumbo price!!!! The croquette and frikandel were also more expensive than on the menu!!!! The lady could not even smile either. So we will not come here anymore.

The best fries in the meadow area

It was a stop for us on a bike ride. Delicious ice cream!

Well cooked fries/fries, neat, everything prepared with care....can't find anything to give even a bad point

Here you really get THE most delicious Halfom sandwiches, pickled meat and liver with bacon.....we drive there especially for that!!

Had lunch here on Thursday. Coincidentally, it was the first thing I ate that day after a banana in the morning. Got sick at night, diarrhea, vomiting... In any case, I will never eat here again.

Satay menu (pork tenderloin) and spring roll special menu. Tasty large and affordable portions. Value for money.

A real "old-fashioned" snack bar in a cozy spot!

Delicious snack after a beautiful walk!

Super fries! Short but clear...

Hamburger 🍔 hmmm ok idea is nice but too much sauce and too fat so your sandwich falls out and you have to put it on a fork with a lot of fuss and fuss

Super nice people behind the display case tonight. Delicious fries and stew, highly recommended. And the croquettes are beyond entertaining. Highly recommended

My mother comes from this region, she spent the last years of her very long life in Zuylenstede. A fries at Egelshoek was an outing, then watching planes on the other side. We still go there even though we live in Franeker. The food is always good and the service is friendly. Of course it is always busy because we are guests in nice weather.

Really good snacks and sandwiches and very nice owners/service. Fries are delicious and sandwiches with fresh interests are great!

Good food but quite expensive, with toilet but not very clean. Not very pleasant either along the main road on the edge of the forest

Delicious food and pleasantly busy

After a lovely walk we had lunch with super tasty fries. I was shocked at the price for the cans of soft drinks.

Really too expensive. Eu 3.30 for a cheese soufle???? Excellent quality but out of proportion

Great place to chill after a good walk in the nearby forest. Outside seating and friendly service.

Good quality and nice employees

Brought back childhood memories here

A stopover around lunchtime. Excellent fries, well cooked, a nice place to eat them outside Large quantity, the snacks were also excellent. Located opposite the airport.

Very tasty food, nice snack bar and nice people. The snack bar is suitable for a wheelchair, but I doubt the toilet. Oh yes, the hot meat sandwich is highly recommended

After a walk across the flowering heath, we thought it was time for a drink and something tasty. We were helped quickly and received a "beeper", as soon as the food was ready the "beeper" went off and we could pick up the food. The bouncer tasted great and the croquette sandwich was also tasty. Also used the toilet. The toilet was very dirty and smelly. The floor was dirty and completely wet, the door could hardly be locked.

Nice fries shop, good location and tasty fries.

I stop here quite often when I need to clear my head on my motorcycle Today was a little less I had two soft serve ice creams together with my grandson I thought it was watery, later two ladies came and reported this to the staff after consuming the ice cream Oddly enough, they simply admitted that they knew about it??? I still wonder, if you know that a product is not 100%, why do you just sell it? My grandson had a sundae so he didn't taste it I would have thought it would have been nicer if the staff had warned about the quality, then I would probably have taken something else

Delicious fries, large portions. Nice benches to sit on in all weather conditions. Soft ice cream with real hot chocolate sauce available

Had a delicious soft ice cream during a bike ride

Always nice here during a cycling trip from Utrecht. The place is great, (gliders) planes come close and they are not childish with the portions here; big tubs of good fries, big dollop of soft ice cream on the cones. You can get back to it with a cold beer with your fries.

Daughter just threw up because of the nasty food. I think the frying fat is hardly replaced. Staff is also very rude to customers. Once, but never again.

Good cafeteria with pleasant service. Very varied and combined range of fries, sandwiches and all kinds of snacks and ice cream. We have been here a number of times over the years, also with the children and grandchildren. There are also plenty of opportunities to sit and eat under the parasols.

Accidentally ended up at the cafeteria. Surprisingly no Chinese behind the counter and therefore fries the Dutch way. Great.

Beautiful place and delicious food.

It was a good experience, bought fries to take away. Was delicious, no plastic used either. It's important now. Nice crispy fries with good taste. Helped quickly and was very busy. Received a tag with number and that worked fine. Large portions, which is nice.

Very expensive for the food you get!

Just a good snack bar. Always okay.

Friendly owner and huge portions

Nice outdoor dining but an expensive chip shop. Lots of water bowls for the dogs and lots of places to sit.

Too salty chicken satay and fries for our taste. Good large portions. Delicious lettuce on the side. "Boss" was friendly to customers but unfortunately very grumpy to his staff, which made the atmosphere not very pleasant, I thought. Was less than normal today.

Nice snack bar near the forest/heath. Great before and after the walk. Ice cream and something edible. The system with the beepers is always pleasant

Very good cafeteria opposite Hilversum airport where you can eat well.

If you come at 7:50 PM, the gentleman won't even help you anymore because he wants to turn off his machine before closing time to clean it. If you don't want to sell, just close an hour earlier or something. Worthless tent and not customer friendly either! I'll go to De Schakel in Loosdrecht next time!

It's not what it used to be unfortunately. Got a milkshake and found out at home that it was super dirty and had absolutely nothing to do with the milkshake, it seemed to have expired or something. A few weeks later I got a soft ice cream, it was also junk and I got sick from it. But I think that was cross-contamination. Because first the employee picks up meat and then makes an ice cream without washing his hands.

Easy parking for quick service.

It has improved a lot and was again as usual, very good and large portions.

Just fine. After a walk in the forest you can get a snack here. Good terrace where you can sit and a lot cheaper than the restaurant at the airport.

€4 for a frikandel sandwich, €5.50 for a milkshake. €14 euros for a frikandel, a beer and a chicken burger. Unprecedented rip-offs, prices that make them 400% crazy. Bah.

Very delicious food, very friendly

Casual. Good products. Possibility to visit the toilet.

New owner ? Charges 9.50 for a ball and a milkshake.....of course And then deliver a dry ball and look stupid when something is said about it...... Too bad.....another less messy customer!

Nice for after a walk. Tasty ice creams.

Worst service ever, got the wrong food, called and was allowed to get a new one, but then I didn't get any new food and a whole discussion, drove there twice for nothing, never come here again, the rest of the food was tasty, but otherwise there is nothing good to this tent

The sun was shining warmly today, so when we passed this cafeteria we couldn't resist a soft ice cream. Enjoyed the ice cream on a bench in the sun.

I ate all the fries with mayonnaise Was very good and a lot

Snack bar, you can sit comfortably there. Tasty ice-cream. Nice after a walk in the woods if you fancy something tasty
