FEBO Amsterdam - Nieuwendijk 50 in Burgwallen-Nieuwe Zijde

If you want a snack before continuing your journey, this might be the place for you. What can you eat there? Croquettes in different flavors, hamburgers, fries, desserts... I tried the croquettes. Very crispy, large, and full of flavor. Everything is made fresh daily. You'll find the food in small, transparent lockers. These lockers/boxes are arranged like columns. You pay with your card and open the door you want in the chosen column. A column might have about eight transparent boxes with one croquette in each, or hamburgers, or whatever the item is. It's certainly interesting, and I think a snack is more than enough. The croquettes were €3 each, and I think the most expensive item was around €5. The place is well-lit and very clean. On my next trip to Amsterdam, I'll definitely make it my go-to spot.

I had a cheeseburger, but I feel like the flavor wasn't that great, and it would be better to eat at McDonald's for the same price.

Great late night food in Amsterdam! Very reasonably priced.

The cake was very good, very fresh, well-seasoned, and the place is well-organized.

The burger was freshly made, everything was tasty and overall the food was good. However, the bun was very cold. I politely asked if they could warm it up a little in the oven, but they simply told me that it was “very fresh” and refused to help. The staff were also quite rude and unpleasant. It really ruined the overall experience. I don’t feel like coming back here again. The food is good, but the way customers are treated leaves a lot to be desired.

Very tasty fresh chicken, we'll be back for it 🐔

So good, we're still here after 3 hours. They set up a table with a tablecloth for us. At a certain point, a waiter in black came to ask us to leave. We asked him to come sit with us. He said no at first, but after asking a few more times, he came and sat down. We cleared the entire wall. Rolled out the door. Unfortunately, I overslept for work the next day because of the good times in this place.

It's incredibly delicious. The taste is perfect for Japanese people. Croquettes are always great for a light snack. You can buy them from a vending machine, so it's easy to purchase even for people who are not good at talking. The staff generally leave you alone. Great for eating on the go too.

It is, what it is. A quick, convenient place to get fairly cheap food. Always plenty of options, clean and a person working the counter. Open late. Decent food. Worth a try.

We and an overnight layover and stopped here right after taking the train from the airport. It’s a short walk from central station. Food was excellent and fresh. Fully stocked and restocked quickly. Great selection. We loved the individual portion sizes as it allowed us to try several different things. Prices were reasonable. Restaurant itself was a little dirty, looked like the trashed needed to be emptied and the counters had garbage left on them. But it was after midnight and I think they were working with limited staff. Either way would eat there again!

Fabulous, my brother loves it more than his own family.

Absolutely love febo!! This one is great, wasn’t too busy when we went, we were able to sit inside. We kept getting lots of fried cheese😍🧀⭐️very reasonable prices

The staff were nice and could use English very well. The food was very good and hot. I love it. For the price, it s unbeatable

Nice to have a Febo on the corner.

Not the best Febo around, but certainly not the worst. Depending on the time of day the food may or may not be fresh. Usually quite good quality. There’s been a couple times now where the card machines have been down at this location, which is inconvenient considering its card only. Definitely worth checking out for a bite to eat

Can’t visit Amsterdam without stopping here for a snack.

I’ve been eating at FEBO for more than 40 years and this was one of the most disappointing visits I’ve had. Ordered a patatje oorlog without onions. It arrived covered in onions. Even another customer nearby confirmed I had clearly requested no onions. Instead of replacing the fries, staff handed me an empty container and suggested I sort it out myself. The bigger issue was the quality of the fries. Many looked overcooked and refried multiple times—dark, shrivelled, and far from the fresh fries FEBO was once known for. At €4.85 for a small portion, expectations are not unreasonable. This wasn’t a disaster, but it felt like a classic Dutch institution that has stopped paying attention to the details that made people love it in the first place. A disappointing experience from a long-time customer. — Lucien Verne

It's fast food, ready to eat, it's inexpensive, it's takeout only, they don't accept Amex.

I had beef croquettes (Rundvleeskroket). They weren't exceptionally delicious, but they were the kind of taste that makes you want to eat them again. The convenience of being able to eat them right away is a plus. You pay with a credit card and then press the button next to the door to open it.

I didn't like it, but that's a matter of taste.

A cashless-only croquette vending machine. A popular chain with multiple locations in Amsterdam. The croquettes have a crispy coating similar to a minced meat cutlet and are filled with plenty of meat.

Quick Dutch food. Extremely good though. Try any of their Kroketten's. Perfectly crispy on the outside, inside hot and flavourful.

Tasty hot fast food, a good late night snack

If you can’t decide, what you want to eat but you want it quick and fresh, this is your place.

Cool food spot that has fried snacks. Try it if you're in Amsterdam.

You can't visit Amsterdam without stopping at FEBO, and this location on Nieuwendijk is excellent! The concept of grabbing fresh snacks from the 'vending machine' wall is so much fun and incredibly efficient. I had a great meal here—everything was piping hot and delicious. The kroketten and grillburgers are a must-try! The place was clean, the service was fast, and it’s the perfect spot for a quick, tasty, and authentic Dutch snack. A 5-star experience for anyone looking for local flavor on the go!

Had to try it. Made me think of the automata from waaaaaaay back. Not sure what I chose but it was delicious. And only 3€!

The service and the croquettes at this place are amazing. They're incredibly crispy, come in a variety of flavors, and are served piping hot and delicious. Every time I'm passing by Febo, since I'm looking for a quick bite, I always grab a croquette. I highly recommend it.

Delicious small dishes, ready, hot, good. Top place

The bitterballen was delicious, especially with their hot sauce.

I love Febo, theirs croquets are amazing and so affordable. I’ve never tasted the burgers tho

Food is average but cheap for Amsterdam

Considering the price, FEBO’s one of the best fast food places, price-quality wise. The burgers are decent, portions are pretty big and there’s a lot of variety. Tried most of the things, and I simply didn’t have anything negative to point out. Maybe the fact that there are lots ot drunken people, since it’s open till 2am. Apart from that: - great fries - great sauces - an interesting way to order: sort of a mix between a classic fast-food and a vending machine. i enjoyed it. - friendly staff The point is this: if you’re looking to eat something that’s not a usual international fast-food chain, for a lower price, with a more than decent taste, Then definitely give this a shot.

Great experience if you're not familiar with this type of store; prices are a bit high, but it's right in the center.

The best in Amsterdam. Delicious crispy fries.

0 personal service, but I guess that’s the point of this place. Don’t recommend the kroket burger; regular kroketten are better.

the biscoff ice cream is to die for

Gentiaanstraat branch: no specialties, no peanut sauce, fries limp, and a strange aftertaste. I'm a true Febo fan, but this is honestly the worst ever.

I would like to express my disappointment regarding my recent experience at your FEBO branch. Unfortunately, the quality of the food served did not meet the minimum expectations a consumer can reasonably have. For example, the food was often overcooked and not cut sufficiently, making it tasteless and unpleasant. When I specifically requested softer baked goods, they were cooked too softly, rendering the dishes inedible and even having to be thrown away. This inconsistency in preparation and quality is not only disappointing from a consumer perspective but can also be perceived as a deficiency in the provision of proper service. I trust that you will take this matter seriously and take appropriate action to prevent similar experiences from recurring in the future. Sincerely,

A very convenient snack to satisfy my cravings, and it was still hot when I got it.

Really nice museum for street art lovers although I would have liked to see more graffiti too.

amazing simple food, convenient

Today I bought 3 different items in a row and they were all almost cold and strange, not as good as usual.

I love these shops and they're a must-see in Amsterdam! The food was delicious.

I got food poisoned after eating here.

While wandering around the city, we found it to be a convenient and practical solution at various times of the day. Located throughout the city, vending machines offer fast food for those who want to stop for a quick bite. They stock hot snacks, from potato croquettes to hamburgers, and even a few veggie snacks for those who want to grab a bite.

Food was lukewarm and expensive...

We tried some of the snacks from here late at night. The food was very average. But the way you dont have to wait to order is very good for people who want to eat on the go

my quick freeze relief when in Amsterdam

This review is from a Japanese perspective. The croquette-like thing in the photo tasted like basil sausage and was delicious. It cost 3 euros, which seems a bit pricey now with the weak yen, but other restaurants would cost much more, so it's worth coming here to get a taste of the Dutch atmosphere. By the way, they only accept credit cards.

4 euro for like 20 fries, this should be illegal 😂

Does not taste like a real frikandel

Very convenient ordering of food. Tastes as you'd expect but the fries were shockingly good. I also appreciate that most orders come with a bonus underneath.

Delicious fries & great fast service.

How is it possible that ice cream costs 40%%%%%% more here than in Purmerend pfff arrange FEBO is FEBO not careful

The self-serve boxes are the best! Food is great, quick, and priced right. Perfect for on the go with delicious options.

Fries are too salty. Even if you ask for them without salt.

You go to Amsterdam, you MUST have a FEBO. If you don't, did you even go to Amsterdam?

Good place for a late night snack, but service forgot part of the order. Disappointing the cabinets no longer have coin operation but i guess the times have changed.

I wanted to order something at the counter with my father and was greeted with a YES... When I tried to order a croquette, bami, and satay croquette, I was told it was too busy and could only get something from the vending machine. What terrible service, considering we've been coming here for years and know when it's busy. It must have been busy in the gentleman's mind (no idea his age, but a bald gentleman with glasses) judging by the large can of energy drink behind the counter. Unfortunately, this was my last time here. Such a shame, where are the days when the two ladies were still here? And what terrible service compared to Leiden and Zoetermeer, where you're greeted with a smile.

Not so much choice btw Change the menu please. Always only 2 different burgers, that’s it.🥲😄

We, that was my daughter's husband and her 3 daughters and my husband (grandfather) were helped very kindly

Avoid this place at all costs. Terrible food, terrible service, terrible attitudes. Not a good look.

A Febo with 1 security guard does more for the safety of girls/women at night than an advertising campaign by celebrities

Very fun, interesting concept that is new to me. I like the cool idea of getting food out of a vending machine thingy. Food was definitely fast food style. Fried goodness with beef inside. Being only 3 euros i think its pretty worth. Overall pretty good

Friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere and excellent good-to-go box.

My favorite restaurant in the Netherlands, bar none!

I wanted to get something to eat yesterday at 11:00 sharp. Unfortunately, the store was still closed at 11:10, and the employee was calmly putting away his delivery in the entrance area. So I got something to eat somewhere else.

Two very friendly ladies behind the counter. Food is Febo, so good snacks and hangover meal

Incredible. The vending machine works perfectly, the burger is hot and delicious. I recommend it.

Really nice service today 10/10 friendly helpful and courteous thank you really enjoyed our food

If you want something cheap and fast, yes, if not, no way.

A fun experience. An automat for food.

Incredibly fast, able to make purchases with zero employee interaction. I happened to buy chicken so I did interact with the employees, very nice and attentive

I saw a girl being yelled at by a staff member. She did absolutely nothing

Extremely horrible, I politely ask to order something and I am ignored for 2 minutes while the man was standing right in front of me walking back and forth just filling some small things, and I ask again to order something and a man who was standing in the corner (employee) yells: "Can't you wait ****lady?!"

Well, it's not really cooking, but I LOVE cheese croquettes 🤣

Fries satay sauce scored. There was really too much salt on it. Unfortunately I only saw later that Fabel was less than 100 meters away. FEBO, less salt is really tastier

Ordered fries with mayo and a frikandel. Excellent frikandel and real mayo (no fries sauce). The fries were fried very badly though; yellowish, limp and not crispy at all. Very unfortunate.

Bizarre, I don't have another word for it. Just ordered a large portion of fries and I got half a container. And that for 5 euros. I immediately expressed my displeasure and the employee's response was: "That's not my problem." He also said that it's the new FEBO rules, including the foil in the container. Why is that paper in the container? To make it look fuller? Shameless! I literally live above this shop and therefore come here regularly, but you have lost a regular customer. See you never again!

Great place for a quick snack to grab.

This Febo is truly exceptionally delicious. The croquettes are my absolute favorite and really good. They always refill quickly and everything is fresh. The fries are also delicious, and the staff is friendly. I went there several times during my time in Amsterdam.

Good value for money tasty chicken burger. A true fast food restaurant.

top place. we haven't eaten such a delicious cheese soufflé in a long time! the cheese is good, the crunch good, service was fast, we are really happy

I love FEBO 🫶🏽 a warm veal croquet is just a nice treat after a long day

It's mainly a self-service fast food restaurant, you only pay directly with POSS for the dish you want from the display, it unlocks, you open it and you eat faster than that, in Amsterdam it's badly centered in terms of service. You get drinks at the counter where you can also order other dishes to consume such as chips, other types of sandwiches, etc It's clearly not a luxury restaurant but I think it's the essence of FAST FOOD, I find it brilliant. Food as good as other places in that category.

It's just what they promise, relatively cheap and fast food. Very rich, really. Of course, the clerks are quite rude.

The gentleman behind the cash register wanted to be a smartass when I indicated that he had misunderstood my order. Instead of listening normally, he acted as if I didn't understand. Too bad, a little customer friendliness costs nothing.

Friendly, fast, practical. The prices are affordable and the snacks are good.

you pay and are not conditioned…. thank you for the specialists.

Only cash only? No signs that says otherwise

Febo is not just a snack bar – it is a revelation! Where else can you pull a steaming hot frikandel from a wall of gold in the middle of the night as if you were the chosen one in a deep-fried prophecy? The croquettes? Crispy like the Dutch North Sea coast in force 10 winds. The cheese soufflé? So creamy that even Gouda would be green with envy. And the best part? No unnecessary social interaction – just you, your appetite and a quietly humming display case of bliss. Whether drunk, hungover or just hungry for life, Febo never disappoints. The tastiest? Absolutely!

FEBO offers fast food at reasonable prices. The fried chicken is tasty, and the fries could be crispier. Good option to get a quick bite to eat. There are a few bar chairs available and no tables, toilet, or outdoor sitting possibilities.

Just a quick bite... very tasty

The hamburger is good but the place leaves something to be desired due to various situations; The idea of ​​having a vertical distributor of products, ready for payment, is excellent.

Food was good, unfortunately the employees weren't that friendly and unfortunately it was also pretty dirty

Fast food place, where you find a variety of two types of hamburgers, one chicken and the other kroket, different types of krokets, battered cheese and fried chicken, the food is good, I find a fault with the kroket hamburger, the sauce it has does not stick, it is a style of mustard, which instead of improving it, makes it worse, the rest of the food is very good, practically everything is self-service, except the fries, soft drinks and fried chicken, the place has two bars with a total of 7 stools, which really work very well, recommended site.

Perfect chicken burger every time I’d be lost without it we need this in the uk

Came to the Netherlands?? You must try this! In the land of potatoes, croquettes are love, right? The price is cheap, reflecting European prices, and the taste is 100% good.

The concept is nice and practical. The prices are affordable. Kind staff. The food itself is not too great. It really looks very industrial but the burger and cheese croquette are very good! It’s handy for helping out or eating cheaply. There are even chairs for eating inside.
