Maria - Argentinian Steak House in Burgwallen-Oude Zijde

The food was excellent and the service was spectacular. Carlos Valencia took great care of me and I felt right at home.

It was cold because the door was always open, the meat was very good

Great place for steak and seafood. Staff are very friendly. Had the sausages and prawns on a BBQ for starters and the 3 beef main... Excellent. 3 years later... Still great!

Absolutely amazing!!! I had a 400g rump steak and my partner had a very meaty one, around 300g (three different cuts of meat). The meat was impeccable: tender, perfectly cooked with that delicious grilled flavor. And the fries... mmm, fresh and delicious. A place not to be forgotten.

Of the dozens of steakhouses, we decided to try this one on one of the main streets. The place is a bit chaotic with tightly packed tables; they're trying to maximize revenue; it didn't feel like an Argentinean location. The meat wasn't bad, in fact, better than others in the area—the ribs are especially good—and the price was quite reasonable. Unfortunately, however, it's clear that hygiene isn't their strong point. The tables had been dirty for ages, even the plates and glasses didn't look very clean, and the grill where they brought our meat was dirty from food from at least the morning, if not earlier. It's a shame, but in general, it's like this everywhere, especially downtown.

The restaurant is amazing with a friendly spirit from all the staff and the food is delicious and awesome

Best steak in Amsterdam also service super good and professional will always come Beck

Excellent service, Carlos Valencia was very attentive. And the meat was perfectly cooked 👌

Ordered one large steak to share with my son plus sides. The waiter didn’t listen and brought one each, then walked off. When I asked for one to be taken away, he was not happy. No apology, didn’t get the sauce we asked for. Bad attitude and dismissive.

Steaks were great and service was even better, even with a full restaurant. Carlos Valencia made us feel like family and his recomendations were perfect.

Excellent service from Mr. Carlos Valencia and the Argentinian soup was super delicious and highly recommended 👌

The food and serving was amazing! 💯 The staff Carlos were friendly and accommodating. The place is also cozy. Highly recommended!! 👌

The food was great and the service was good too ❤️ Carlos was friendly and very accommodating 😊 will surely recommend to my friends!

Excellent food, I loved the chorizo ​​and ribs, everything was delicious. The place was very clean and had a great atmosphere, and Carlos Valencia's service was incredible.

The food was delicious; I highly recommend the mixed meat platter. Carlos Valencia's service was superb—perfect. I recommend it 100%.

Excellent, and Mr. Carlos's service was excellent.

I came here on Sunday on my last day in Amsterdam. I was welcomed by the cook and Ahed, the waiter who even let me stay a little longer whilst I waited for my train to London. Lovely service and meal x

Carlos served us and what a great vibe! Very friendly, excellent customer service, and the food was delicious. 100% recommended, the ribs were super delicious!

From the moment we walked into the restaurant, the customer service was fantastic. Mr. Carlos was very friendly, explained everything to us, and gave us great suggestions for what to eat, always with a smile and making conversation. I would 100% recommend stopping by the restaurant to enjoy the grilled meats.

Great service by Carlos Valencia. Good food and atmosphere

They have good deals. It's not bad, but it's nothing special. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Thank you for the great food! And Service from Ahed and Staff!

The food was delicious, and the service was excellent; Carlos took great care of us.

Carlos provides excellent service and the food is delicious. 100% recommended.

It was delicious, but when I ordered garlic bread, I thought they'd serve it already spread and toasted with garlic. Instead, they served a regular grilled loaf with garlic butter in a plastic bag next to it. The salad wasn't very good, just some chopped vegetables and cabbage on the side. Everything arrived fairly quickly. But it was very cold inside. I had to wear a jacket.

The best steak hpuse,because of the meals and the staff. The waiter was the most simpatic and kindest, felt like in heaven. Next time in Amsterdam, will daily visit this Restaurant like this time. Thank you very much

A real surprise, a warm and welcoming reception. And the food... delicious. The meat was more than delicious, and it had been a long time since I'd eaten flavorful vegetables.

Very nice to be here. Good food, good atmosphere and very kind and professional staff! We were very happy to be here and can give only 5 stars!!

Honestly, I never write reviews, but I had to here. Service was amazing, Ahed (i hope i got his name right🙏) is just perfect at his job, he was the sole reason we went in the restaurant. We were looking at the menu outside and he came to us and told us what we should expect. Even though he was the only waiter and the restaurant was full he gave everyone enough attention, gave us recommendations, and served everyone with a smile! Food is 10/10 as well. Price is reasonable especially because it’s Amsterdam.

Food was great!!! Tony good service. And the armosphere is great, calid and dishes prepared quickly and verde tasty!

Very friendly staff and gave good advice. Food was top class, fried sardines with a nice crust and fresh lime, ribeye steak cooked to perfection at a live bbq at table.. Definitely worth a visit..

The atmosphere was cool, the food was good but it didn't blow my mind.

such a lovely place!!!! Staff are amazing, especially Ahed our server. Food is to die for including all sides, I would definitely recommend if you are in central Amsterdam!

The staff were very welcoming, helpful, and friendly. The food was very good. I highly recommend it.

Wow, this is so delicious! 🤩 BBQ steak, great atmosphere. I was welcomed like a friend but treated like a prince 😎. Thank you so much 🫶. Next time, I'll take a picture when it's still on the barbecue and I haven't started yet 😂🤪. I couldn't wait 😂👍💪🏼

Good food and service, thank you.

This is a tourist trap. Terrible experience, vibe and atmosphere of the restaurant was very bad. The waiter (old person, poker face) was rude and told me and my group bad words when we were leaving.

It is incredible how this business makes money from us customers but it does not pay its workers their money. I invite others to leave reviews like these until they pay the salary of former waiter Jose Miguel.

Nice meal with attentive service. I wanted my steak to have more flavour! It is a steak house and for me that means steak is the thing they do best. I felt they were relying on sauce to cover the bland meat. Sorry.

Good place near the centre. Super friendly waiter.

Super friendly staff. The food is delicious. This is my second time here.

Oh, wow. I'm a bit spoiled when it comes to steaks. But this one was really good and probably the best steak for the buck I've eaten for a while now. 20 Eur for 300g rumpsteak is a bargain. I can highly recommend. Especially because they're open until 1am. So, no excuses to get yourself an overpriced junk food döner.

We were wondering where to eat, quite late after a concert (Frazey Ford and special guest Phantom, as it happens) and went in as nothing much else seemed open. Our expectations weren't very high (I was born in Argentina), but the steaks were truly excellent and the place was so friendly. The flamenco music may not have been very Argentine, but the experience was great, and the price very reasonable. It rounded off a memorable Friday night in Amsterdam.

Goed eten and the best waiter ever! Went again today !

Came in with the family, catered to everyone's demands, the kids mainly. 2 different milkshakes. Smile on the face and nothing was a problem. Would recommend to everyone to come in and try. Will be back next time here.

Great service, fast, and good food. Especially for the price.

Thanks for Ahead! The beast one!

Super cozy spot in the heart of Amsterdam! The service was excellent and friendly! Definitely recommended!

Perfect steaks! Fantastic! Good wine.

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. I tried the burger, and it was absolutely delicious perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavor.

Service was fast, Food Good and the Price was fine.

The food was super delicious and Ahed was super hospitable!

Everything was so goood. Ahed the waiter was also really friendly, and professional (and handsome ;)) Thank you for everything.

Their Chorizo was so good. The order came with 2 on the starter menu and we could have had 6,lol. The sauces that came with steak were great and the potato was moist and delicious. A delightful spot that we are so glad we stumbled upon.

It's very small and a bit stuffy inside from the grill smoke, but the steaks are simply out of this world! Great value for money too! Definitely worth trying!

I walked by the place in the afternoon and saw the most beautiful steak- so I had to come back for dinner. I ate outside so I got a show with my perfectly rare, perfectly seasoned steak. Highly recommend the “papa asada con crema” (baked potato with sour cream). I’ll definitely be back- thanks for the lovely evening!

José Miguel's service is excellent, food is delicious, and there's no waiting time. Recommended

Everything was great, great service from José Miguel.

Delicious 😋 and ahid good service and friendly 💝

Very nice very friendlly feels home ❤️

Everything was delicious and the service was very good. Haed served us and it was the best service we received.

Good service, thanks to José Miguel.

Excellent service from Jose Miguel!

Absolutely delicious. Prices are reasonable. And if you can read and think clearly, it's far from a rip-off. Welcome to Amsterdam.

Ahed (damsco) was a wonderful host, great food and great venue

Damsco was a brilliant server - helping us a lot! And damn the food was great - I had the Argentina skewers

A very good steak at a fantastic price! The service is very attentive and courteous. Very happy again :)

If there was 6 stars i would. The food is amazing with the best service by Ahed, he is so welcoming and shares his story. Most lively person I've met, but also the best ribs you could ever get in Amsterdam, my first day here and its already going well thanks to this place. They also have a cat that sometimes appear and walks around the area, the most cutest, welcoming cat you will ever encounter and im not exageratting, she does not bite, she is not harmful to anyone and loves the attention. Going to amsterdam you HAVE to go here

Very good food and very nice staff too.

Very tasty food and child-friendly staff

Fantastic staff top notch ambience

Amazing food and vibe, such a friendly atmosphere there. Loved the customer service by ahed

First time visiting Maria Steakhouse and can honestly say the Fillet steak has been the best me & my wife have ever had! Staff are fantastic, it’s a really nice atmosphere and so I would highly recommend to anybody 👍

Ahid is very helpfull and kind.

Food is good..service is incredible. With a smile. A small place with a big heart. I came here to dine solo. Ordered the trio of steak and salad. As I was making my way through it, the kitchen sent an off menu dish. Something they were eating for dinner. From my earlier interaction, they thought I may like to try it. It was incredible! Potatoes cooked with tomatoes, butter, pepper, spices and chilli. Wow! Authentic food, served with love. I am so incredibly grateful for the team sharing their meal with me. Good people, good food. Def come by if you want a hearty meal.

Ahad the one and only. Great place

Really good food and nice staff, especially Ahed that gave us an exceptional service

Very Nice Service! Great food as well

Very good lunch, the steak was fantastic

Thank you very much, very good quality of meat

Ahed treated us perfectly with their cheerfulness and helpfulness. Excellent service and good choice of staff. I would return to this place because they honored my beloved country with their excellent food.

Everything was amazing, the food delicious and the great service than Ahed gave to us. 100% recommended

The meat is wonderful. A simple, small place, but the service is wonderful and the meat is spectacular. Highly recommended!

Cleanest and tastiest steak in Amsterdam

Very nice food and drink. Reasonable prices, brilliant service from the main waiter especially. Cheapest beer in Amsterdam also. Would definitely recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ahed was amazing, the steak was wonderful and very nice service!

Service by Ahed very courteous and friendly as well as open-minded

Excelent service and food. I had the costillas de cordero (lamb ribs) and beef empanadas, both items great tasting and cooked to perfection. The guy who greeted and served served from a Spain, really good guy and attentive. They place is maybe about 8 tables inside and a couple outside. Highly recommend.

Really great waiter, and service the children loved the experience . Food was very good.

Best place for cheap beers and nice service in Amsterdam

Great place to eat, we recommend the ribs, very good, great value for money and very friendly.

We enjoyed every bite of ribs and steak. Definitely the best in the city. Special thanks to Ahed…

As a barbecue fan who takes meat very seriously, I can confidently say that this was the best meat I've had in Europe 🤤🥹 The guy who served us was very kind and friendly!

Excellent service, the waiter Ahed brought drinks and offered free water and we also had a good and warm conversation. I recommend it to everyone. We will definitely come again.

The steaks were amazing!! Great service from thee waiter

I had dinner with my family and had an excellent experience. Our server's service was impeccable; he was friendly, attentive, and very professional, which made our evening even more enjoyable. The food is of exceptional quality. Each dish was perfectly prepared, with incredible flavor and a very thoughtful presentation. The atmosphere is also very pleasant. As for the value, it's unbeatable. We paid for a high-quality dinner that far exceeded the price. I would recommend this restaurant without hesitation to anyone visiting Amsterdam. A worthwhile experience!

Went 16th August 25 and we had a great meal and our server was really friendly and fun. Even when we asked if we could be moved inside it was no bother. Thank you ☺️

The ribs are super good, I recommend them, the staff is very nice and funny.
