De Patatzaak in Sloter-/Riekerpolder

Tasty fries and friendly staff. However, sometimes it takes a long time for your fries to be ready when it's busy.

Not long ago I ate some fries here... they tasted pretty good. A while back, I went there for fries with peanut sauce... unfortunately, a large portion of the fries turned out to consist of small, hard pieces! I mentioned it... 'Well... it's the potato...' I heard. Nothing was offered as compensation! Then fries are 'Expensive'!! The service itself is decent. But it is not my favorite place to go for a meal or a drink.

Mega friendly and welcoming staff!

Ice cream with Daim was delicious and not expensive! Friendly service, relaxed atmosphere on the terrace.

You can get the best fries in Amsterdam right here!

1.5 staff members is impossible for them... needs more staff. Regards, Frank

Quick question, is it just fry sauce or do you also have regular mayo?

Beautiful view of the windmill up close! And on top of that, some delicious greasy food on the terrace. What more could you want? Well, being served by super friendly staff who work with a smile. Especially the young man Kai who donated a portion of fries to me!

I just stopped by this place to get something to eat. The last time I was here was maybe three or four years ago, maybe even five years ago; to be honest, I don't remember exactly. I remembered that I had eaten a burger with fries back then too, and that the quality was already very low at the time. After all those years, I thought: let me give it one more chance; maybe I was just unlucky back then, or it was my taste at the time. So today I stopped again and ordered a burger with fries, one for my daughter as well. My daughter took one bite and immediately said: “I’m not eating this burger.” Then I started on my own burger. It was completely covered in sauce. Sauce in itself isn't a problem, but there was so much sauce in it that it ran down your hands and ended up everywhere. It was just a mess to eat. Additionally, the quality of the burger itself was very low. To my surprise, it even looked like the burger had been deep-fried in oil instead of just grilled. That really surprised me. The fries were also very disappointing. You could tell the potatoes were probably cut fresh today, but the quality of the potatoes themselves was just very poor. It didn't even really taste like potato, more like eating cardboard. In the end, I threw everything away because it was simply inedible. What surprises me even more is that I drive past that bridge so often and always see that spot packed with people. I don't judge anyone eating there, nor the people selling such products, but to me, it does show how low expectations regarding food quality have sometimes become in society. For me, this was without a doubt the last time I ate there.

The best fries I have ever eaten!! Excellent!

The fries had a bitter aftertaste, as if old oil had been used. The cheese soufflé was soggy and had the same aftertaste. I felt really nauseous on my birthday 😟

Worst fries, kaassoufflé, and bamischijf we have ever had, so oily and the oil seems to be very bad quality because the aftertaste of everything was just bitter and disgusting, fries were like the leftover ones we get rid off, we threw away everything just like we threw away our money, do not recommend!

Fries way too dark. And if you get takeout, the whole lot sticks together. Better to eat there.

Good fries in a beautiful location

Pay €2.50 for a waffle cone, get a mini mini ice cream in return!

Ordered here for the first time, and I found the staff very friendly and fast/efficient. The chicken satay, cheese soufflé, croquette sandwich, and fries were all excellent quality and served with fresh buns and a tasty sauce. I was able to enjoy the view while eating in the cozy, sunny seating area.

I found the owner & manager all mediocre they don't even greet you when you go & if you greet these kind of people twice they don't do anything what is going on these days the respect is starting to disappear more and more in this world & I will never go there again & I am glad I have come to convert 🤢🤮🚽👎

Great fries! Cut and pre-fried in-house. Fried in fresh oil.

The tastiest fries in Amsterdam

Fries are great. Older staff is great. The younger staff are mostly inattentive and chatter a lot with each other, like three of us had at home, forgot the bald hotdog sauce, etc. I understand that staff can be difficult. But this staff is difficult for you customers. Pay a little more attention and be attentive, deliver what you order, and give the correct order.

One of the better chip shops in Amsterdam

A wonderful, fun and good business

March 2025 Remains good. It takes some time but it's worth the wait. Fries are excellent. Expect a line during dinner time and some waiting. Jul 2023 What's good and remains good ... Snacks could be upgraded though, that would match the excellent fries. Dec 2022 Remains a good place for your fries. Busy as always. The waiting for your order is the only minus ... Again I should have ordered in advance... Old Top 3 snack locations looking at fries. They have been here for as long as I can remember. Some staff is working there for years. Especially their fries are very good and you'll get more than enough.

Excellent fries, served by extremely friendly staff, situated in a beautiful location, for those who love fresh fries, a must go.

I think the service is very good! It takes some getting used to how you eat the fries. But overall, I think it's a good place, and also a busy one.

1 portion of fries without salt, 1 portion of cheese, and 1 small container of peanut sauce. Arrived home without peanut sauce; my dining experience was ruined immediately. Too bad, I did ask; does everything come with it? Next time I'll check if it's included.

Simply a top-notch place, used a lot of salt this time but fries remain fries fresh and tasty!

Waited 45 minutes for a portion of "patatje oorlog" (fries with mayonnaise and onions) and a cheese soufflé. Only to find out at home that there was no salt in the fries, they were greasy and inedible. Normally I always get good fries here. But since small children started working there, it has become very bad. This is my last time too. It just gave me heartburn.

Remains a lovely spot for delicious fries and more. For years, a go-to place for real fries.

Usually, fries are fried well, but unfortunately, the students behind the fryer made a mess of it. Not fried properly, too much oil.

Great fries, but unfortunately not a single vegan snack or mayo (sauce).

The fries are good. Reasonable portions with plenty of sauce. You can definitely taste that these aren't frozen fries. Friendly staff. During busy times, such as dinnertime and dinnertime on Saturdays or Sundays, it's definitely not recommended, as wait times can be more than half an hour. If you arrive hungry, your stomach won't make it. It can sometimes still be busy here after closing time during peak times.

This was inedible. I got two small fries and one large, with one "war" (no onion), one "war" (with onion), and one "special curry." I only got the special curry. The fries were fried in old grease and were rock hard. You have to buy a drink because they had so much salt on them. The milkshake machine was broken when it worked. I got a milkshake right away and had to wait another 20 minutes for my order. The milkshake wasn't cold anymore. I also ordered a chicken burger. The picture showed cheese on it. When I opened the box, the chicken looked like it was from Albert Heijn and was drier than a desert. I'll stick with Febo.

Normally, the fries here are delicious. But yesterday they were inedible. There was so much salt on them; the kids aren't picky about fries, but even for them, it was too salty. Such a shame.

The fries were heartbreakingly bad. They didn't even look like fries. They were fake fries. As if they weren't even made from anything resembling potatoes. They were hard and fried in stale grease. The croquette was also unidentifiable. The satay was made from? Dog or something? Just rubbish. I'd say don't go there.

I've been getting fries here for almost 14 years now, it's fantastic! I moved here seven years ago, but this remains my favorite snack bar!

What a disaster, the fries were so greasy they were inedible! I threw half of them away. With a name like "the chip shop," you'd think the fries would at least be good. But no, you're better off getting your fries somewhere else! Never getting my food from here again.

update: is weer als vanouds druk dus dat zegt genoeg De beste patat in de omgeving. Kan in het weekend wel erg druk zijn. Bestelling telefonisch doorgeven kan maar wel al in de middag doen.

Great, classic chip shop where I often grab fries when I cycle past. Much tastier than the Febo and old-fashioned ice cream I used to get at the snack bar. Discodip, yeah. It's not perfect, like an old-fashioned chip shop, so no real hamburgers, folks! We used to think a soft white bun with a frikapuck was a hamburger. I like to go there when I'm cycling along the Nieuwe Meer to the Amsterdam Forest.

Delicious fries (the softer ones). It's just a shame there were a lot of harder pieces. Perhaps a combination of the frying fat and overcooking.

Good day, unfortunately your fries are really not what they used to be lately, I've been getting too many double-fried fries lately, what a shame?!

Nice location and delicious fries! Fries are prepared separately in two chip ovens. Useful to know for halal eaters. I specifically asked about this. Snack is baked separately in adjacent ovens. Explanation was also given with love compliments.

Delicious fresh fries on the edge of Amsterdam.

Very good chip shop, I recommend you order the special peanut sauce, excellent. The fries are fresh and homemade. As a Ch'ti, I recommend it!

Have gotten fries here quite a few times. Consistently high quality. Because I always order online I never have to wait long.

Always very tasty snack food and always very friendly staff. Food is totally worth its price. I'll be a regular guest here.

Atmosphereless tent. The ladies are actually friendly when you see them because they spend most of the time in the back of the kitchen I think. The frying fat is really so old that it should no longer be called frying fat. And that is also reflected in the fried fries. Harder and far too well-done fries! Really absurd. After eating the products from this chip shop you will have heartburn for the rest of the day from here to Tokyo. It's a shame to have such a nice bag at such a nice spot. I also don't understand how the ladies who work there get a good feeling about what they serve their clients. My advice: go get your fries somewhere else. Because this is a drama! 😩

Divine fries! Blessed to spoil myself!

A good place to take a break and have some good fries in a quiet place. Really recommended :)

The fries are incredibly tasty and the rendang croquette tastes great

The food is very tasty, service is just okay but not amazing and it is just quiet.

Hands down best fries in Amsterdam. And I don't say that after staying in ams for 5 years and trying most of the famous (and not so famous ones). Dutch do take the fries seriously and no offence to Belgian but this may be even better than most in Belgium 😂

Tasty fries for 20 years, but they should clean the tables more often and the floor could also be swept properly

My little son and i waited an hour and 15 minutes for one order of fries. Then i was very descent when i asked if this is normal. Quite rudely i was told that this is perfectly fine for them. Then when i got my order they didn't give me the mayo i paid for and then the guy slammed it in front of me on the counter. The fries were nothing special also, so ya great place!

the fries were delicious, highly recommended, I was helped well by a friend of mine: sjackie scheafers. what a goat

A real pleasure I'm really excited about the frikandels, croquettes and fries. They were perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside and nice and juicy on the inside. The taste was simply great. The portion was generous and the price was absolutely fair. The service was also friendly and quick. I'll definitely be back!

Queue of more than half an hour for fries, which are saltless and extremely greasy. The chicken satay is minimally fried, whether it will make you sick or not. I baked this again at home. Too risky! When you ask when your order is ready they have no idea, it seems that people who order online are helped faster.

The food was was not bad the chips had potential to be really good and they were good but, it felt like the oil they were fried in was sitting around for a while. the service was good however, the guy at the till used his hands without gloves or anything to pick the food up before it got cooked and then used the same hands to touch the till and money. This is really not hygienic and for this reason, I will likely not go back. If the oil was not old, and the hygine was increased, I think this place would be good.

I buy my lunch there 1-3 times every week, very friendly staff, easy to order and consistent patat every time. Would recommend 10/10.

Delicious fresh fries, highly recommended! (And of course various snacks)

The food was unpalatable, the fries were left in it for far too long and the hamburger tasted like an expired frikandel. The bread was tough, the fryer is cleaned every other year if I taste it like that... Very disappointing. It was so dirty and greasy that it was better to put it in the garbage and close the tent. The atmosphere was a 2, but that was purely because of ourselves and not because of anything from this crappy tent. A few comments also came to mind while we were sawing and tasting. One of us said I wouldn't do this to my dog ​​and the other said even children in Africa during famine wouldn't eat it. You won't see me again

Haven't been to this place in a while... Normally always great, but today... 3 young guests behind the counter and they forgot the satay sauce with my (loose) Mexicano, no curry with my chicken corn and the Mexicano sandwich literally had a drop of satay sauce on it, so I don't know whether the satay sauce was gone or whether they wanted to save on it. .. The only thing I do know is that if I have to pay almost €40 and then I come home and there is no sauce, I am really disappointed. Reading a receipt shouldn't be that difficult, right...

Small old Dutch fries shop. Don't know if I would call it good, but it felt familiar to me. Run by a few nice, pleasant, hard-working ladies. Here's around noon break and it was quite busy with lots of people with large orders for work, but the ladies work like a well-oiled machine. So before you know it your order will be ready. And even if it's snack bar food. I have often experienced that frying tasty fries and making a good hamburger is very difficult for some snack bars and their staff to deliver in the right condition. Not for the ladies... Just the way everything should be Even my Surinamese rasta colleague was more than positive about his Hamburger Special. And believe me, he is not easily satisfied when it comes to his food. Dusbdat says it wrong

Nice place in a prominent place. They do it their own way and are proud of the fresh potatoes. The extremely tasty (Surinamese) peanut sauce is striking! Still, I have to say that the fries could be better: nice and crispy, but the fat tasted a bit old. Hence not 5, but 4 stars.

Great place, nice service and delicious home-made fries. Good menu, fast workers and nice crowd, the customers. Definitely recommended if you want good quality for a fair price in a fresh store.

Delicious food. Had to wait a while for the food, but it was worth it. Very busy indeed.

Delicious fries and it's always busy.

Ordered food today and once again they forgot something. When I got home the large milkshake wasn't there, but it cost 4 euros. And this is not the first time that part of the order was not included. It's great if you have fun with your work and with each other, but check your work so that no one is disappointed.

The BEST fries in Amsterdam and surrounding areas!!

Quick preparation and tasty fries! Could be a little cleaner inside.

Well located chip shop, impeccable value for money, I recommend

Too busy at meal times, sometimes good and more not. Hard pieces of fries with dark colors, many small pieces that are unedible. A few years ago it was very good, what a shame

Enjoyed delicious fries today, with a nice staff and good portions. However, something went wrong with the order: we were number 9, but got the fries from number 8. This resulted in the employee taking the fries from under our noses, which was quite uncomfortable. It would be nicer if next time we were asked whether we wanted to keep the fries or whether we wanted some more sauce, instead of just taking the food out from under the nose of a person eating. Very awkward but good. All in all, the fries were really tasty and the staff was customer friendly, although this incident was a shame. Nevertheless, definitely worth repeating!

Very nice chip shop, the fries are nicely fried, the croquette ragout is nicely seasoned and the milkshakes are nice and creamy. After all, in these times you pay relatively little compared to other fries shops.

Always delicious fries and snacks. Nice and easy to order. And even though it was busy, we only had to wait a few minutes after the indicated time slot.

Delicious well-done fries with plenty of mayo and a cold can of Fanta. There was also a Telegraaf available for inspection. Until next time.

Nice fries, what more do you need to write.

This is the best place ever, they forgot one of my fries, I went back after I had eaten croquettes and got such tasty fries, I even got a free milkshake and free mayonnaise and the fries are so tasty, thick and not slap the croquettes best ever who writes bad reviews about this well it's not that clear

We loved coming here, delicious fries (team fries!) and snacks. But the staff and especially the owner are very unfriendly and disinterested. In addition, the fries are very greasy and fried for far too long. To top it all off, we had to pay €18 for 2 fries and 4 half-cold snacks. There are better places!

When you take fries with you and you arrive home and find this. Scandalous. You cannot give this to a customer. If I want chips I'll go to the supermarket. Too bad, very sad.

Let’s be honest, you come here for the fries. And the fries are spectacular. The ”snacks” are good but an ”aquired” taste! Extra points for the cherry soda!

Best fries in the area. I'd like to take the lead. Friendly staff. It has become very expensive. Paid parking from June 3!

Great tent! I like to get my snacks and fries here. Quality is good.

I have never waited so long for a fries and it was around 20 minutes.

Delicious fries, totally recommend. Burgers are really bad but in low prices. For medium order we was waiting 30 minutes.

Normally I am easily satisfied. Today I got a large bowl of fries, but they were so limp and greasy, they were completely absorbed. Literally 75% wasted. Was clearly old cooking oil. Asked why it is like that, and young man says it is always like that. If this is the new standard, I will go to another snack bar from now on!

It’s a must go eat here if you are in the neighbourhood!

French fries with Oorlog sauce are delicious.

Hard pieces of fries full of oil. Fries were brown. The frying oil was as dark as a ditch. It's outrageous that they sell this. The owner scolded her staff for all the customers. This was a terrible experience... never again.

Excellent "patat", with a terrace to stop for a short while eating your patat and drinking a beer. It took too long to get the food, but other than that no complaints.

Just picked up fries. Once home I felt seriously cheated. Very greasy little pieces of fries that were inedible. Waste of my money. Not even worth 1 star.

Best fries shop, home-made fries and you can taste it.

Delicious food and fast service, definitely recommended!

I was surprised that I hadn't written a review about this place yet since I've been here several times :) Until 2 years ago, the fries were of variable quality. Especially when it was busy and you had ordered, the quality was a bit less. However, nowadays I think the quality is better. They take this into account if you want it well done. I have to say that I was there during quiet moments. Sauces are sufficient in quantity. The young staff in particular are very nice and helpful. That makes a visit good again.

Some mellow background music to relax while waiting for your order would be good.

And good fries and a tasty satay croquette

The fries were very delicious plus the jobbie sauce is also tasty.

Barto is a nice fast food restaurant where in 10 minutes you'll get croquettes and fries like you've never eaten before. No bullshit, the best fries

The fries are amazing! Super tasty fries. Tried the vegetarian kroket, which wasn't bad. It did take quite long on a Thursday evening around 6pm to get 2 portions of fries, especially for eating in. The place itself is definitely not cute or anything, but in summer it is great to sit outside and have some tasty treats. Overall, came for the food and that's what counts!

Good value for money. The fries were very good and the little extra: menu translated into several languages ​​including French!!! A first for me in the Netherlands!!,👍👍
