Wil Graanstra Friteshuis in Grachtengordel-West

Delicious fries in a perfect location. Also a very friendly gentleman in the stall, with whom you are guaranteed to have a nice chat (when it is quiet). I definitely recommend it if you are in Amsterdam.

I had delicious fries last week. As soon as I'm in the area I will definitely come back.

What a drama. All small stumps and very hard-cooked. Far too little sauce and that for 4 euros. I returned it and was told by the best man that he is known for his hard, well-done fries. Worst fries experience ever! I did get my money back promptly.

It was a bit small, both the fries and the mayo for a lot of money. (5.50)

Disappointed with french fries harder than concrete. Not sure what I was served, but it wasn't fresh and inedible.

Great fries and great family establishment. Get the picalilli.

The Facebook page says open until 7 p.m. When you walk there, the man is already cleaning everything at 6:15 PM. 'Sorry, we are closed'. Don't do it a second time either.

Friendly quirky owner. Looks like he makes them fresh there.

On a eu l’occasion de goûter de bonnes frites, l’hamburger était également très bon et le monsieur très gentil! Je recommande ☺️

Al die jaren al: de beste friet in het Centrum! Nu open van do. t/m za.

I live next door. Yet I get fries everywhere but here. Portions are ok, quality is poor and the guy is straight up obnoxious.

EXCELLENT, the owner even posed for a picture with the fresh cut fries. This a food stand by the WestKirk church. Just the fries are a meal in themselves.

Sehr leckere Fritten und Frikandeln. Der Verkäufer ist super lustig und spricht viele Sprachen. Kann einen Snack nur empfehlen!

Je suis partagé. D'un côté les frites maison sont excellentes, et de l'autre les hotdogs sont achetés au supermarché et réchauffé au micro onde devant vos yeux. Bref, si vous voulez y aller, ne prenez que des frites.

Frites maison vraiment incroyables et délicieuses, bien meilleures que toutes les prétendues "meilleures frites Amsterdam". Par contre les hot-dogs vraiment pas bon, du surgelé réchauffer au micro-ondes.

The best👍très sympas le chef, 👍

Großartige Pommes serviert mit einem Lächeln. Herausragendes Geschmackserlebnis.

Sehr nettes Pläuschen mit dem Besitzer! Leckere, knusprige Pommes die frisch gemacht wurden ! Nur zu empfehlen!

Sehr gute Pommes und eine grandiose selbst gemachte Soße!

Wil Graanstra is een grappige frietverkoper met markante verschijning (kale kop, rode bril) en typisch Amsterdamse humor die toeristen mogelijk als 'brutaal' zouden kunnen opvatten. Zijn frietjes zijn jammer genoeg niet super, erg prijzig, niet bijzonder van smaak en met maar een klein likje mayonaise erover. Wie echt lekkere friet wil eten, loopt door naar Vlemminckx of Manneken Pis.

Realmente las mejores patatas que probamos en Amsterdam. El dueño sabe hablar castellano y es muy agradable.

Top friet best fries of amsterdam

Was haben wir gelacht! Der Kollege hinter dem Tresen ist auf Zack und kann mehrere Sprachen. Werde diese Bestellung nie vergessen! Danke für diesen Moment an den Herrn mit der schönen roten Brille! P.S.: ich werde an meine Aussprache im Englischen arbeiten ;-)

Sehr freundlicher Herr der mehrere Sprachen kann. Den Imbiss führt er in zweiter Generation. Immer frische Fritten aus frisch geschälten Kartoffeln.

Super Pommes, netter Verkäufer!

Altijd een leuk praatje en lekkere friet.

Chip shops are springing up all over Amsterdam, but there are only a few really great ones, of which Wil Graanstra is amongst the best. Located in a stall in front of Amsterdam's Wester Church, the Graanstra family have been serving French fries here since 1956, prepared from freshly cut potatoes of the best varieties. French fries in fact originated in neighbouring Belgium where, according to historians potatoes were already being fried in the late 1600's. Although the stall sells soft drinks, hamburgers, hotdogs and other snacks people travel for miles to sample the chips which are perfectly crunchy while remaining deliciously soft on the inside. These are served with a wooden fork in paper bags, topped with a wide variety of sauces, of which real mayonnaise is the most popular. Patat Oorlog which translates as War Chips, a peanut sauce-mayonnaise combination, is also worth trying. You have the choice of small or large portions.

Fries were amazing, some of the best I've had. Owner is a total character, love him! Do recommend.

Not recomended. Fries are badlly made, Small portions and they dont give a lot sause.

We thought this place had great pommes frites. Cooked to perfection and tasty. A great place to get a snack while waiting in line to go into Anne Frank house around the corner
