Manneken Pis in Wijk 06 Binnenstad

Undisputedly the best fries, at least in the Netherlands. Today: special with double the sauce. Thanks!

If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by and enjoying a delicious cone of fries with a sauce of your choice. Snacks and soft drinks are also available.

The smallest portion is still twice as big for me. I'd like to go back to the old smaller portion size.

I bought a veal croquette. It was so soft that it broke in two when I picked it up and got all over my clothes. And the replacement croquette I received was simply cold. A bad experience where I was fobbed off with junk. In conclusion, a waste of my 3 euros.

Very expensive indeed, but they get away with it

Nice quick service,best food one can have

A must-stop in Utrecht: excellent potatoes and fish at a reasonable price.

The fries are a bit thick, which is a personal preference, but they're definitely delicious! There's a wide selection of sauces, and the portion of fries was generous. I've had better fries than these, but nothing wrong with that. The staff were friendly and hard-working, as it was very busy.

It’s been a while since I became a customer here. They have the best kibbeling in Utrecht — maybe even in the whole Netherlands 🇳🇱! Always fresh, tasty, and served in generous portions 😍. I always know what to eat when I’m at Utrecht Central and feeling hungry.

Not the best fries we had in Europe but still acceptable. Love the fritessaus! Fries were salty as too much salt.

Waited 15min for fries and left when I ran out of patience and had to catch my train. Didn't seem like the staff was able to handle the que since they didn't even respond when I tried to ask if they forgot my order or something. It's just fries from the deep frier that you put in a bag... not really sure how this is goes so wrong. Also shouldn't the staff at least wear gloves?? 2.11.2025 approx 13:15.

HELLO WHAT IS THIS. I HAVEN'T EATEN ALL DAY. I ORDERED A PORTION OF FRIES FOR €5.60. I CAME HOME. I SEE THIS. AM I A RABBIT? WHY TF DON'T I EVEN GET A NORMAL PORTION OF FRIES FOR THAT MONEY?! I COULD HAVE BETTER BUYED AN AVIKO BAG. THIS IS VERY VERY IGNORANT AND RUDE. VREDENBURG ON THE OTHER HAND, KNOWS PORTIONS. BUT THIS? THIS??!!!!!!!!!!! 5 FRIES, BY THE WAY. I DEMAND A NORMAL FRIES BACK. AND THEN YOU GUYS ARE ALSO UNREACHABLE BY PHONE. IT'S JUST THAT I LIVE FAR AWAY OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE COME BACK SOON.

Wow, don't expect anything, potatoes are potatoes 😅 but the sauces are delicious.

The portion size is adequate, with a small option available for 4 euros, excluding additional items. The taste is indeed quite pleasant.

Excellent fries/chips with lots of sauce options. Snacks are available from the vending machine; my satay croquette could have been crispier. The people behind the counter were friendly (despite the line), and the place looks very inviting.

Verdict: Super Lekker 🤤 @mannekenpisofficial in Utrecht is a whole vibe. Located just outside Central Station, it offers fries AND Fish & Chips. The man who took my order was honest and told me if I ordered fish & chips I’d be looking at a pretty big meal. So he saved me some money and I got just fish nuggets. This was the large portion, and it was enough for 2 people or two large meals. If you’ve never been to one of these fries-in-a-cone places, you might not have seen the hole-y tables. They are made so you can put you fries cone in them & chill while you’re eating your food. 🍟 The first location I ever visited was in Amsterdam. It was really good too! Definitely go check them out. Oh!! I almost forgot! At this location they also have these hot snacks vending machines. You use your phone or chip/pin/credit/debit card & self-serve. I tried a chicken something. It was the best one I’ve had out of Smullers, FEBO, and now Manneken Pis

I have the fish and chips, everything is perfect and amazing! And also the friendly staff!

Some of the best fries I've ever had, with a variety of sauces available. The price is a bit high compared to my local snack bar, but I tasted the quality in every bite and it's significantly better than my local snack bar. The bamischijf (noodle disk) is also very tasty and I definitely recommend it. Definitely worth repeating and highly recommended if you're in Utrecht.

For a fast-food chain, the flavor wasn't bad. Even though it wasn't very busy when I went, the fries were hot. I was satisfied, and the price was average.

The fries/fried fish and the kibbelings were excellent, simply delicious and fresh. The shrimp were also perfect with the chili sauce. ;) The service was very friendly. ;) The only drawback is the outdoor area. It's unfortunately a bit neglected – the tables weren't clean, and there were leftover food on the floor. Regular cleaning would significantly improve the impression. It's not like customers have to clean their seats first.

Friendly staff, always nice and tidy. Excellent!!

I was craving fries and a croquette. I hadn't had one in years. I asked for medium fries without salt. No problem, I was told. Even though it was incredibly busy. To my utter amazement, the container the fries come in was meticulously cleaned before I received my portion. Fresh, crispy, and absolutely delicious. And...not a single crumb of salt! Then came the beef croquette. I have to say: I've rarely had such a delicious croquette. A divine crust with a fantastic filling. What quality and what service! No wonder there was a long line of people patiently waiting for their food. So, the tastiest Manneken Pis can undoubtedly be found at Utrecht Central Station!

I wanted to eat fries at Mannekin Pis, but this location is especially dirty. This is the second time I found hair in my food. I came back because it’s close to my office, but the hygiene problem remains the same. Employees don’t wear hairnets or any protection, and some even touch their face or beard while working. This is not a healthy environment, and I will make sure my colleagues don’t come here either.

Ate there with the kids on Wednesday. Ordered 3 small fries and 3 snacks. I guess I wasn't paying attention because 26 euros were debited from my account?! Or has it really gotten that expensive?

Amazing staff, amazing (fresh) fries

Always delicious when we are in Utrecht, never disappoints!

I've been going to Mannekenpis in Utrecht for years. Friendly staff and fast service.

You can always get a good, tasty fries here at the station!

Great food. Friendly, dedicated people. I always enjoy having fries or a snack here during my work break. They even tell me that some snacks are vegetarian, but are fried in the same fat as the non-vegetarian snacks. Super nice! Compliments!

I ate at Manneke Pis today, and the friendly and polite staff helped me well. The food arrived quickly despite a large order, and it tasted excellent.

A wonderful experience at Manneken Pis. I was very pleased with my visit to Manneken Pis. The staff was incredibly friendly and created a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The food was also delicious! Well-seasoned and beautifully presented. Definitely a place I'd love to return to!

Bad, limp fries, dirty, filthy location. Manneken Pis had well-fried fries in the past, unfortunately this is no longer the case, I will go to another one next time.

Famous Dutch fries shops almost always serve fat fries, which are very filling and filling. There were so many sauces I didn't know what to choose, so the owner suggested peanut butter and onion dices, which was surprisingly good. The most surprising thing was the interesting perforated design on the tables and countertops.

Not freshly fried, very expensive,I saw weird staff eating things with bare hand behind the counter.

Fish and chips with good sauces

Received the wrong order. No apology. When I complained, they canceled my order. I also told him I hope he improves his skills soon. If you can't even handle frying fries and fried cod, life is going to be tough.

I occasionally get fish and chips here. The quality varies: sometimes it's very good, other times it's disappointing. The fries aren't always fried properly; the insides stay soft and lack a crispy bite. The kibbeling (fried fish) is also good sometimes, not so much at other times. The prices are a bit on the high side, but that's understandable given Manneken Pis's reputation. My advice: try it once, but a good local fishmonger often does a better job. If you're just going for fries, I recommend the branch on the other side of the station (towards the city center, near the square or the main street). They don't have fish there, but they do have better fries in my experience. Regarding the surrounding area: it can sometimes get a bit noisy in the square with shouting people and homeless people, although I personally didn't experience any problems. All in all: it's worth a try, but there's definitely room for improvement.

Dirty tables, rainwater everywhere, overpirced

We both got very sick after eating here. The quality of the food was absolutely terrible. We would absolutely not recommend this restaurant. We don't normally write reviews, but this experience was so extremely negative that we want to warn others.

Got 3 fries with mayo. They were old and had small, old pieces of fries that had been fried multiple times. Frying the fries multiple times burned the grease. A waste of money, and we also had a huge stomach ache. Absolutely terrible! The staff was friendly. But they can't sell old, fried pieces of fries in old grease! You should expect fresh fries for your money!

The potatoes weren't fresh. You realize this when you eat them. You feel the hard texture when you chew them. The taste is behind those in Germany. The sauces and spices are good. The staff is nice.

The food was not food yesterday we were very sick last night because of that we don't get fries there because banks and our hard don't eat

Too bad you are eating you are bothered by homeless people who want to have food (then I still hold back. swearing Roman or pols) If you say no). And that is not all, the zipper of my bag is broken so I had the phone in my hands to prevent it from being stolen but even then you are addressed strangely by people that you have the phone in your hands! The kibbeling I have had better But but there is not 1 star but the total picture What a fun day in Utrecht was, ha ha

🍟 REVIEW – MANNEKEN PIS, UTRECHT CENTRAL “Fries with a crunch, flirts with a hint of annoyance” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ (4/5 – fries are great, flirts… not so much) So there I was, standing in the famously long line at Manneken Pis Utrecht Central and trust me, the wait gives your date plenty of time to try some smooth talk while you’re just trying to focus on those golden fries. Not much of a romantic here, so when I’m ready to enjoy my crispy fries, I’m not exactly up for a love speech with a fry in hand. The fries themselves? Crispy, perfectly golden, and seriously addictive. And the sauce selection… where do you even start? Truffel mayo is my go-to, but they have a whole arsenal of sauces, from sweet to spicy, enough to turn even the dullest fries into a party in your mouth. Sauces galore. Honestly? Sometimes the fries are my best date, those flirty lines are easy to tune out with a big bite. Bonus: the fries fill you up nicely, even if you’re a slow eater like me. 📍 Conclusion: Manneken Pis at Utrecht Central is the spot for fries that make you forget there’s a lovebird fluttering next to you. And those sauces… an absolute party. Flirts come free, but you can totally ignore them when you’re all about that fry life. Until the next bite from Tafels & Tories 🤙

We didn't find them as tasty as other famous Amsterdam brands.

Visited around 20:20 and received my order barely ten minutes later. Fries were a little soggy and very generously salted. Not my preference, but to each their own :) staff is friendly & like I said, swift service

Dirty settings and incredibly rude service

I used a croquet vending machine. When you pay with touch payment, the door of the box containing the croquet opens and you can take it yourself, but the door of the empty box opens. I told the clerk that if I touch my card, the door will open. When I tried again, the door below opened and I was able to buy croquet. However, when I looked at my card's payment history, I saw that the payment had been made twice, and the amount that did not include the first croquet was also debited. It was partly because of my poor English skills, but I lost out.

Fries are not crunchy. MannekinPis sauce was good though.

Very good service and of course the fries

They are fresh fries and tasty mayo, but 5.60 euros for a small mayo fries is really ridiculous. I understand that everything has become more expensive, but this is no longer fun. And they fill one bag much more than the other. so it was a small half bag that I got. And 1.25 for a little mayo?

A quick, fast food, fatty meal. A takeaway place with acceptable prices.

Delicious fries. Fries were cooked well. The bami bite had a nice taste, slightly sweet. In appearance they have a nice corner where you can sit, but in February with wind it is not full of atmosphere. Get friendly and efficient help.

Tasty snack. Friendly staff. Some customers are noisy so something can be said.

Wow first time having kibling and it was so good!! Fish was tender and flakey. Batter was light and crispy with lots of flavour. The tartar sauce was literally to die for. Definitely my favourite thing I ate in the Netherlands so far.

Big disappointment. We expected it to be very good. We had much better ones in Belgium. The oil was burning even though it was early. smiling face and warm welcome zero. very ordinary fries and service.

Never having fries there again. Poorly cooked, tasteless. A lot of nuisance from youth smoking cannabis.

Even though it was busy we got delicious fries. A bit much sauce, which covered all the fries. Sauce in a separate container would be useful (but I understand that that is also a choice of course). Wonderfully salty.

The kibbelings were ok .. only concern was the oil.. not very healthy but a good place to hang out with friends and Share .

Super tasty fries, in 3 different sizes. The fries were not that thick, but not French fries either. Perfect for eating quickly, because they are not so hot all the time

Gets more batter than fish and that for €7. What scammers. The man who works there says casually, that's how I like it. Another young lady says that they have been getting complaints all day long. Sad

Skinny, you know. Passes for Flemish fries, but with Dutch quality. Not well done, lukewarm blob with an excessive amount of mayo. It's like picking mashed potatoes from a mayonnaise pond.

It was an okay chip shop, but quite a bit of waiting time, no seats when it rains and your fries are soaked in the fries sauce. fine for a quick snack but not really of high quality

I was there at 11:57 am and asked if I could order kibbeling yet. But no, that was only possible at 12 o'clock. So I waited and was helped three minutes later and got my quibble 10 minutes later. Outrageous to charge more than a euro for the sauce. Kibbeling was of mediocre quality. At the fish stall on the market you pay less and get better quality.

The employee felt it necessary to speak in a rude tone. We are not happy with this. He also worked unhygienic, which we very much resent.

If possible, 0 stars and there is an Asian employee who will rip you off. I ordered small fries for €4.95. And he told me that I could pay, but he held his hand over the PIN device, but he did not cover the payment side but the screen. I'm waiting. And I receive a notification from my bank that €495 has been debited from my account. I asked him about it and said he didn't know anything about it. While it has clearly been deducted from my account. Then he said it's accidental. Tapped fries 100 times, I don't believe it at all, but I got the money back in cash. This is scandalous. Never heard of scams at a chip shop. Never come back here again

We had fish & chips here. OK quality, but nothing exceptional. Not expensive though...

Bad fries, not tasty at all, way too much mayonnaise, just rancid

I didn't like the fries, a greasy bite as if they had been fried in old fat. There was far too much 'mayo' left over and the fries no longer had the upper hand. The veal croquette also left much to be desired; Taste was cold and not a nice bite. I no longer opt for greasy, weak fries and a croquette that is not tasty. I can spend my money better than with you.

The fries are delicious, but the price is skyrocketing... 6.60 euros for fries with mayonnaise

Fries are not the best, still the staff was really friendly since they changed the sauce because we didn’t like the mayonnaise. There’s probably better places to eat fries.

The fries at Manneken Pis in Utrecht are without a doubt one of the best in the city. The portions are generous and the fries themselves are always fried to a perfect golden brown: crispy on the outside and wonderfully soft on the inside. What makes these fries really special is the combination of fresh potatoes and traditional preparation. Moreover, you have a wide choice of different sauces, from classic to more adventurous flavors, which makes it even tastier. The atmosphere at Manneken Pis is informal and cozy, and despite the often long lines, you are always helped quickly and friendly. Highly recommended for anyone who likes really good fries!

most disrespectful women work this restaurant

Good atmosphere, good service, fries expensive, 6 euros for fries, sauce didn't taste good. Fries nice.

I've been coming to this place for 8 months now, the food is great and I never had any issues. The staff are generally pleasant to deal with. However, today I made an order of medium fries with two toppings, only to receive an order with one topping that I didn't order. I informed them this wasn't what I ordered, only for them to tell me that indeed this is what I ordered. On the third back and forth, the employee very kindly told me that they are "not deaf", essentially accusing me of lying. I left the shop and most likely won't be coming again due to this sour experience. I understand that work can be very stressful, but treating your customers like crap by implying that they are lying is not the way to go.

Fries that were too salted were inedible. Fries also very dry. Threw away two thirds of the bag. Too bad.Tartar sauce was tasty. Then had a beer to wash away the salt. We were also not asked whether salt should be added or how much.

Tasty fresh fries and good service!

One of my favourite spot for fries and kibbeling. Through my experience at different places in Netherlands this is the best one. Always busy as it’s in central station and mid of huge moving crowd. Kibelljng with vis sauce or knooflook sauce is the best

Best fish and chips in NL for the price and portion. Sauces are very tasty too.

Typical Dutch potatoes, very good and plenty of sauce.

I really liked the fries and the gourmet, the service was also great. It was quiet and I didn't want any sauce with my fish so I got a bowl of kibbeling to compensate. Price was also reasonable.

The food is always good, but every time it is an atmosphereless, dirty mess

Very delicious potatoes, fast and friendly.

Fries without salt and way too much mayonnaise. Fries just come out of a plastic bag, for that price I expected something more special. Give me the Haphoek in Arnhem, tastier, better, fresher and cheaper. 👌🏻

It would be perfect if the fries were fried a little longer.

Expensive fries, but you also get super tasty fries 8/10

Hmmm, this is a different Manneken Pis than the one from Brussels... I personally thought the fries were a bit disappointing. I personally don't like the peanut sauce, the fries themselves… hmm, a lot of greasy fries… it was good to try it once. I thought the gentlemen who worked there were super nice and socially friendly, when I indicated that I wanted large fries, they told me that it was very large and whether I still wanted that and whether it was for 1 person, they did it in a nice way. , for this reason an extra star, otherwise it would have been two stars for me, unfortunately I am not the target group. We watch out for birds when eating. There is a tiny place where you can eat, often it is full and you have to eat where people leave everything behind and a fight ensues between the birds, all fighting for fries or bickering.

Unfriendly staff... not recommended to get food here.

Tasty potatoes. With mayonnaise with chopped onion.

Very busy, but it was our turn in no time. Few benches on the square to enjoy it in the sun.

The name is a bit weird (Manneken Pis based on the Belgian statue), but the kibbeling and fries are really tasty. The price is also completely clear, especially for the central location on Stationsplein (between Utrecht Centraal and Hoog Kathjarine). Unfortunately there was no seating inside and the seating outside was only 2-3 tables and mostly already occupied. But it's also more of a snack bar. If you want to eat kibbeling and don't want to walk for a long time (there is still a good one in the north of Utrecht and in the city center of Utrecht) you have definitely come to the right place.

Fast and very delicious kibbeling. The best snack while waiting for my train 😋

6 euros for fries, 1.20 for way too much mayonnaise smeared all over your fries. Moderate bickering.

I was looking for a quick bite. This fish and chips location uses noticeably quality products and takes your personal wishes into account. There is even a wooden fork available to prevent you from having to go to your next location with greasy hands. Thanks for the service.

Young girl who works here should get a raise. Super customer-oriented and always motivated. Service with a smile!

Ordered fries, but they were very soggy. So in the end there was more of a puree left. Service was okay. There was rubbish everywhere near the seats, rather antisocial from the customers.

Spectacular chips, with €7 you can get a large portion which is plentiful including the sauce of your choice… Convenient being in front of the station and fairly fast service

We ordered the kibbeling and chips with cheese sauce. Something was definitely not right with the sauce. Tasted like a instant packet of cheese and consistency was like it curdled. All the other sauces we have tried haven’t disappointed us like this one sadly.

Food: 5/5 ⭐️ Price: 5/5 ⭐️ Service: 5/5 ⭐️ This charming little spot serves up what might just be the best fries in the Netherlands, all wrapped up in a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Despite its small size, the place exudes warmth and welcomes you like an old friend. The staff here are more than just employees; they're kind-hearted individuals who go above and beyond to deliver exceptional service. I vividly remember a time when I was in a rush to catch a train, and they prepared my fries in a record five minutes – a true testament to their commitment to customer satisfaction. But let's talk about the star of the show – the fries. Each serving is a hearty portion, promising not just to satisfy your hunger but to tantalize your taste buds with its rich flavors and perfect texture. These are the kind of fries you can tell are made with passion and care, a rare find that makes each visit a special treat. For anyone who appreciates the art of perfectly crafted fries, this place is an absolute must-visit. It's more than just a fry shop; it's a delightful experience, a place where each visit guarantees a warm welcome and a plate of fries that will keep you coming back for more.
