The Burger Federation in Halfweg

You really need to know exactly how things work here, because if you ask what the chef's special is, you get an irritated response from the guy behind the counter telling you that you have to ask the chef, who is busy making burgers at that moment. So then you make a choice and ask the same guy where you can order to take it away, and you get an even more annoyed response telling you that you have to sit down to order, as if it's the same in every burger restaurant. If you don't want to work, then don't work!

At 16:00 they told me kitchen is closed, while it’s opened until 18:00 and there is no sign showing that the kitchen is closed.

Bad service: slow, unfriendly, not helpful. Food was ok, but not worth the bad customer experience.

Absolutely divine burgers, incredibly generous and hearty! The homemade fries are a delight. A huge thank you to the team who are incredibly kind, even without speaking the same language.

The worst burger restaurant I have ever been to in my life. Even though we confirmed our order three times, it was still brought to us incorrectly, and on top of that, we were treated very disrespectfully by the staff. We specifically asked for the burgers to be well done, but the meat was served medium. Honestly, this is the worst burger restaurant I have ever experienced in Europe. Absolutely unacceptable.

I’m not one to complain easily, but I’m going to do it anyway; this is truly one of the most worthless, overpriced “restaurants” I have ever eaten at. The staff walk around like they’ve smoked one too many joints and are practically staring at you cross-eyed. The sauces are left open on the table outside the fridge all day; the hamburgers, which you pay 18 euros for and are labeled “medium cooked” on the menu, are way too overcooked, greasy, sticky, and tasteless. The staff doesn't inform you that a burger menu can be combined with loaded fries, but you suddenly get a double portion of fries, and they aren't willing to be accommodating to the customer either. A bill of 70 euros for a meal for two is really heavily overpriced for what you get. Four members of staff asked me if we were being served yet, but nothing came of clearing our table. I would rather starve than eat here again.

The service was rather unenthusiastic. Cutlery and napkins were only available upon request. Furthermore, the burger wasn't cooked medium, but well done.

No words for it, found this a miserable experience Very poor value for money

I waited 30 minutes just to be able to order a drink. The staff are extremely overwhelmed with a maximum of 3 customers.

Yes, so we had apple pie with cappuccino, which was very tasty, hence the relatively low star rating for the food. Then I ordered the BLT Classic Burger with regular fries since the sweet potato fries weren't available, and a Coke. The pie arrived. The burger didn't. After 35 minutes, I finally spotted a staff member and asked about it. Another woman came over and apologized, saying there had been a communication problem with the kitchen, and offered us each a free drink of our choice. Within a few minutes, the burger and fries arrived. The burger was more rare than medium-rare, and the fries were extremely salty. Furthermore, the burger was quite small for €17. Payment is by card only.

The atmosphere is pretty good, and the staff is super sweet. The food, is amazing! And pretty good for the prices set.

The girl working there was very rude. She wasn't helpful...we left without eating...she seemed a bit racist.

Nice burger place Rafal the chef prepared two delicious burger Amsterdam burger And Wild West bbq burger One of the best burger I had in town .

Service was terrible they we couldnt Split the bill which i Never saw before and they didnt Tell us so very Bad

The food is delicious, but unfortunately you cannot take the leftovers with you.

Terrible experience and a huge waste of food. We ordered two burgers and loaded fries, but the staff never mentioned that the burgers already came with fries. When we asked to pack up the massive amount of leftovers, the staff rudely told us they don't do takeaway. Their excuse was that the fry inclusion was "on the menu," but it wasn't clear at all. On top of the awful service, the "medium" burger was served bloody raw. Save your money, we won't be back.

A regular stop whenever we are at this outlet Always good. Both the burgers and the fries, as well as the sides, are highly recommended. I have no idea where all the negative reviews come from. I have been here multiple times and it has never disappointed.

The food was great. The amsterdam burger was superb, one of the best burgers I've had. I just few reviews saying the food was crap but mine was spot on. Massive tasty burger, cooked med/well. Fresh salad and burger sauce and crispy bacon 10/10. Truffle chips were pretty good too and their house sauce. Its a bit on the pricy for a burger but surrounded by fancy shops i expected to pay about 25 buck for lunch so wasnt bad really. Service was spot on, itsl was quiet though so they had plenty time to look after me

The quality of the foods are terrible. The coke they served like a water, there are no sparkles. It is not a dog friendly place and the people who worked here even not try to help about this and even say sorry. The prices are expensive.

Didn’t get food but beer was good

The staff are very friendly. The food is delicious. Much better than Burger King, and the atmosphere is great.

We went as a family,two adults and two children. Every single burger that came to our table was dripping with blood. The patties were bright red inside, completely raw, and smelled like spoiled meat. It was disgusting. We didn’t even touch the food. We paid the bill and left. Not once did the waiter ask if there was a problem. Because of this experience, we probably won’t be eating hamburgers again for a long ti

Good service and food, nothing to complain about.

We were here on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't busy. The atmosphere was a bit dull, and the burgers were disappointing, but above all, expensive for the quality. With those prices, it should be a premium burger (€17/€18.50), and it certainly wasn't. The fries were good, though.

The food was delicious, the waiters were excellent. Attentive and hospitable.

Incredibly delicious and flavourful food, great job guys! Only reason for the missing star is there are no bathrooms in the restaurant and you have to walk a bit for them. Without being given wet cloths or napkins, you'll need to make a plan - but small price to pay for such good food

This restaurant is having a terrible issue in serving customers. Rejecting to give tap water and hot water when customer order both food and hot tea. They said u need to order a new order of tea in order to give u hot water...terrible experience in both the result and the way they explain this to you. Strongly suggest guests to blacklist this restaurant.

The Korean burger was really good, even the bun is nice! The service was very slow and the staff taking the orders were dismissive and not very caring or friendly. The other staff bringing the food and doing drinks were lovely though.

Upon arrival, I indicated that I'd like my burger well-done, but was told this wasn't necessary. The burger arrived barely raw. The fries were fine, but the burgers were exceptionally "raw."

Enjoyed my time here, will definitely come again!

There were five of us and at 2pm we quickly got a table, placed our order and the food was delivered quickly. The French Connection Burger was well done. I have to say that I haven't had a burger as good as this in a long time. They have very good tissues, but they could consider offering wet wipes as well.

Had to wait 30 minutes for the order, and the potatoes were brought cold, not worth the long wait, + the prices here are not cheap and the service is not good

The food so tasty and eye appealing . I highly recommend to visit this place.

We stood waiting for five minutes while the three people working continued in an obvious non-work related conversation. Burgers came out super fast and looked great but as soon as we dug in they were extremely uncooked inside. Truffle fries came without truffle. This place is expensive, uncharming and a total waste of money and time.

The restaurant looks amazing from the outside, unfortunate I had a bad experience, food arrived late and not as I asked for. Unfriendly staff, with zero care of clients. Never again!

This was my first time here, and I haven't had a better burger in the Netherlands! I don't understand these negative reviews; in my opinion, they're written by people who have no idea what they're talking about. The service was very friendly, the meat and burgers were the best; I haven't had better ones in the Netherlands. Thank you so much for the pleasant conversation. One of the staff members showed me the meat and was very nice. I recommend it to anyone in the area. I'll definitely be back!

There was a long wait. For starters, we had chicken tenders and cheesesticks, which were very tasty. The burger was okay, but some ingredients were missing. Upon request, they made us a new one. The salad, however, tasted a little lacking, which disappointed me. Unfortunately, the value for money wasn't up to scratch. We liked the restaurant itself, and the service was very friendly.

We sat inside and placed our order. There were only 3–4 other tables occupied, so the restaurant was about 70% empty. After waiting for 40 minutes, the waiter came over to inform us that they had lost our order. She didn’t seem to care much, even though she said she was sorry

waited for 40 minutes just for the lady to tell us she lost our order (restaurant was half empty)

Very disappointing service. We waited 10 minutes before anyone took our order, and then another 30 minutes for the food. After that, the waitress came and told us she had lost our order. The place wasn’t even busy, so there was really no excuse.

In contrary to most of the reviews, we had a great time here - food was delicious, service was friendly and fast and overall atmosphere was great (we came past brunch hours and yet we still managed to order from their brunch menu). A great place to have some food in between of shopping

The best burgers of the neighbourhood, a good selection of beers, the patty is always juicy and everybody is super friendly, a must if you are at the outkets

The five of us couldn't clean up three tables. The manager was really rude. Worst service ever.

It's a nice place, but when it's busy, the staff gets their orders wrong. The food is good, but the price is too high for such a small amount. the cool atmosphere is the only plus

For two people, the standard menu and drinks cost €52. I expect a very tasty meal for that, but it's certainly not more than normal.

I work at the Style Outlet. This was my first time eating here. It was supposed to be medium-cooked, but it was completely raw. I then had to throw up during my break and ended up being sick when I picked it up and went home. I pointed out that the burger was raw, and all I got was a "sorry, man." I wouldn't recommend eating here to anyone, and if you're ever visiting the Style Outlet, choose the snack bar!

Really good service and friendly staff. I was expecting something delicious, like at Burger Federation in Utrecht. But the Amsterdam burger just didn’t taste good. The mix of ingredients didn’t come together, and the bottom bun fell apart from the sauce.

Grilled on the outside and raw on the inside. Apparently, the menu says this is the standard burger. I find it odd that the staff doesn't ask how you want it. I mentioned it to a woman who apparently doesn't like her job, and she wasn't having any of it. One thing's for sure: I'll never eat here again.

The burger was well-cooked. The beer was good. The burger bun had a strange flavor. The fries were good. The service was friendly, and it was quiet.

Really liked the atmosphere and hospitality of people working there Special thanks to Rafal Amir and Ailin Like the taste of burger and enjoyed the kindness of people working there

The service was really poor. Waiting time was long.The staff couldn’t take orders correctly. Plus, a bunch of items on the menu weren’t even available, and every time we tried to order something, they just said, “Oh, we don’t have that,” or “We’re out of this.” Usually i don’t write any bad reviews but this time i had to.

The chicken was a bit overcooked. It's lovely sitting on the terrace in the sun. Otherwise, the service was excellent.

Awesome food we had to wait a bit but it was worth it. I would come here again.

It wasn't a friendly, welcoming welcome: a sort of McDonald's, but sitting down: the staff wasn't exactly super friendly and the food was meh.

Great place, good burgers, good atmosphere and nice service.

Good place to eat if you're near the outlet, very good service 🙌🏻

The staff were rude and slow, with long queues just to pay. I wouldn't recommend it—definitely not worth the money.

The service is poor and the food is not good. Orders arrive all mixed up, with no care or organization, and you don’t even know which dish is whose. The staff is unprofessional and the attention is bad. Hygiene is also a big issue — some workers handle food without gloves and even adjust their underwear with the same hands they use to serve your plate. For anyone thinking about eating here, I strongly recommend reading the reviews and taking them seriously — everything negative written is true. I do not recommend this place. If you have no other option, eat here at your own risk. Don’t make the same mistake I did.

Used to come fairly frequently. Never coming back after the treatment received by an extremely rude lady with short gray-ish hair. They evidently have consistent service issues as other reviews show. Please, check the ability of the people you hire to be in customer services roles. This lady is clearly not up to the task.

The service quality is terrible. The employees are wandering around. We waited at least 45 minutes for the burgers. We added Frue tea. We reminded them 15 minutes later where it was. I will not eat here again. The service is terrible

Rude, never even got a menu after 10 minutes of watching the staff chat in the back. Excuse was they were busy They weren't. Had to walk out. Awful

There were spiders. They asked us how to deal with them. They cut corners on the food they replaced. Don't come here. The service was also indifferent.

Hot wings were 10/10 no doubt but Chocolate milkshake was not cold. All the server seems to be in hurry and couldn’t get the clear information. Tables around us were not clean for longer time .

The food was fine this time, last time everyone had a stomach ache but we thought let's do it again, but this time the service was worthless. first they do the drinks wrong 😂 that continued then you still forget 2 drinks then the food comes and they forget a burger and the fryer is already off so they can't give you fries with it really WORTHLESS!! besides all the negative things the burgers were still nice and warm and looked nice

The food is fine. Unfortunately I have to agree with many other reviewers regarding speed. First order was left on the counter for 10 minutes. I walked over and took it to the table myself (of course after checking with the kitchen that it was for our table). Too late, already cold. Friendly staff, not to mention, offered to make it again. Very nice but a waste of good food. Second time took >20 minutes again, but was warmer. It all tastes good, but it takes too long. I come to shop, and don't want to waste an hour and a half on a bite to eat and a drink. A waste.

Very bad experience. I have a gluten intolerance and asked for this. I could eat every burger with a gluten-free bun. The fries were not possible. I order a gluten-free burger without cheese, I then get it with cheese and fries. I say something about this, then they say: right, the fries are not gluten-free. But I do not get another plate with food that is completely gluten-free. Very bad. Because of this I got complaints about the food, I still suffer from this all week. Thanks but no way. The others had ordered regular burgers and the buns were even drier and tougher than the gluten-free bun. I did not find the service customer-friendly. It was curt and fast / rushed instead of friendly. For 3 people we spent 70 euros for 3 burgers and drinks. Ridiculously expensive for the quality of the food!

Ordered a milkshake, got a glass of milk and the manager Kemal says it's our recipe. The milkshake was barely cold.

Good service from Amir and from archie

Had a lovely meal this afternoon. They were very helpful and the food was served quickly.

The burger was amazing, fresh, juice and tasty. The attendants were super kind and friendly. Clean and comfy atmosphere.

Not long ago we had a delicious meal here, we were the only ones here at the time. Burger cooked to perfection, delicious milkshake that left you wanting more! Really great. Now we thought we would definitely eat here again, this time a bit busier. Milkshake was very thin and had a light taste, I walked to the kitchen and actually got into half a discussion about how this should be the case, in the end I got a new one that was just a little thicker. After a while we got the burger, cutlery was not on the table and we had to ask for it and put it down. Burger was very well done and dry in taste, bacon was tasteless. My girlfriend had a burger with an egg, which tasted very special. So not nice. I quickly ate it and then paid, not even wondering if it was tasty or something else. Because we had complained about the milkshake once before. You pay a price here, especially for service and location, the product can be good, we have certainly experienced that, but that is only when it is quiet.

Totally disinterested staff who absolutely do not know what to do in the catering industry. Outrageous prices for a mini portion of sweet potato fries. In short: too bad to even give 1 star.

A disaster of a site. It took 45 minutes to serve me the food, which is a regular to bad burger. Raw sweet potatoes. They have no idea about hospitality. On top of that expensive. Better stay without eating than come here

We didn't like it very much because it wasn't medium-rare meat. The atmosphere is very clean and we would like to thank our friends who contributed so much.

Food is horrible and they know it all they can do is offer 20% off , tipping is kind of obligatory . The one they call manager is the worst of them

Bad service, very slow: for a Cesar slad, we waited half an hour. We found dirty cutlery and water, a 33cl bottle, €3.50: madness!!!!!

Not nice, did not care to even ask what we want…

Simply great burger, ready quickly and friendly staff

The waitress was super nice, food came quickly and was very tasty. Our daughter (9 months) was also treated with great care. Highly recommended!

We were helped by Rox, what a great person! She really enjoys her work and you can see that. Good food, super burger, a big 10, keep it up 👍

It was very tasty, the burger was freshly prepared, before ordering I was asked what degree of roasting I wanted the patties, it is valuable!

The service was friendly, but the experience was disappointing. We had to wait a very long time for our food, even though it was not busy. In addition, we sat at the bar overlooking an unkempt and unsanitary place. If this is a reflection of how hygiene and food safety are handled, then unfortunately we will not be back next time. Hopefully something will be done about this soon.

Great staff and delicious burgers

Very poor service, all tables dirty and just fries for 6.00 ice cold. Avoid this company

To begin with, 10 minutes of waiting to receive the cards even though the restaurant was by far not full! It was 3:40 p.m.!! 40 min to receive an almost cold and tasteless burger! My friend, who eats gluten-free, made it clear to the waiter her intolerances and she received a Caesar salad with breaded chicken... and they wanted to charge us for the salad that she couldn't eat and which she had to send back to the kitchen! Just scandalous incompetent staff and underwater to avoid!!!! One of the worst burgers in the Amsterdam region....

Tasty fries, well done. Hamburger well topped, also very tasty!

Pure Waste of time and money visiting this store.

Never experienced this bad service we waited for 1hr and our order did not come. And when we asked the lady said we are preparing, it was purely racism or they forgot to place the order at the desk, we don't know. People who came after us were getting the order. . Super pathetic experience.

Had to wait more than 50 minutes for our order. Saw several people leave the business because it took too long, angry people who wanted a discount for waiting or because the food was not good. My burger was supposed to be medium, but was lukewarm and completely dried out. You could easily squeeze the fat out of the fries and they were also lukewarm. My wife's cheese had not melted and when she got it back it had become a hard slice of cheese (microwave?). Very unpleasant experience, and they will not see us again. We did receive a discount and a drink on the house as compensation, but this was completely unnecessary, because it was not even full yet.

Absolutely bad service! Waitress rude and can't serve! Waited 1 hour for drinks to arrive and 1.5 hours for food to arrive, and the restaurant wasn't full. Food is very good, but that's about it.

Slooooow service! with only few table busy, waiting time was: beer 20 min, burgers 40min. (Burgers was cold)

There were 3 tables sitting outside literally and yet they managed to confuse orders and serve cold, missing and multiple burgers to each table :) We were two persons, they brought 3 (one hour almost between one and the other two) and they asked us to pay 3 burgers at the end for their mistake. Not sure how long this shop will survive..

I came to this place to eat a good hamburger. The black waiter, after taking my order, he didn't serve me even after 20 minutes! While they had a very, very good laugh with the kitchen guy. Otherwise the burgers are overpriced!!!

We ordered the dutch burger. It was really tasty! Fries were also included and tasted good. Service was also good & the food came fast.

The food were excellent! I definitely recommend it!

The only good thing about the burger is the minced meat, the only thing over which the inept staff has no influence. While you look into the open kitchen and see the chefs move so slowly that you lose your own energy, orders are being served incorrectly left and right and people are walking out of the tent angrily. When, after what feels like an eternity, you are presented with your own order, it is also the wrong way around because the waitress has no idea what she is holding. After a disappointing meal, you are asked for a tip at checkout, what do you think? All in all, the experience was as sad as the pace at which the chefs move. Definitely not recommended.

I have been here a few times, the Austrian crunchy chicken burger is my favorite, but today the service was quite bad, the fries were very cold we asked for straws and they forgot totally.

Really good burgers for the Netherlands. The fries are also great. Sadly no gluten free. There is a nice outdoor seating area. They were quite understaffed but handling it well. The manager Vanity was really helpful and even helped with my Dutch language pronunciation!

Super good burger, Caesar salad and sweet potato fries. Everything fresh. Very friendly service. Atmosphere a bit less good, but that is mainly because there were too few customers. So: go here if you are in the area!

We had to call the waiter ourselves. It took an awfully long time for our food to arrive. The waiting time/price/quality was really bad. Never again.
