    Beautiful food and a lovely friendly atmosphere 😊

    This restaurant is a must‑visit for roasted chicken lovers. The meat is incredibly tender, full of flavor, and perfectly seasoned, with a crispy skin that makes every bite unforgettable. The sides are fresh and well-prepared, and the staff is warm and attentive. A simple concept executed brilliantly—highly recommended!

    Really glad we booked! Super busy but no issue with service. Everything was delicious! Between 4 we had a whole chicken, 2 fries, 1 portion of onion rings, 1 portion of sweetcorn and a portion of grilled veggies! I had an extra beer and the rest had chocolate brownies- delish! Will be back next time in Amsterdam!!

    Service was slow but they were busy. Food was ok, not hot when it arrived indicating it had been sitting in the side for a period of time. The chicken we had was tasty.

    Food was good but the service was mediocre at best. Not a great welcome (tried to put us at the table next to the door that was opening the entire time - and a table clearly no one wanted), no explanation of the menu, had to ask to clear the table, no offer of more drinks, and had to ask for the bill.

    Juicy rotisserie chicken. Crispy award winning Vlaminckx fries. A nice seasonal beer. No space for dessert!

    All the starters and the fries was excellent as usual, but the chicken this time was not completely cooked inside (some "pink") parts. We started to eat at the beginning of the service but the waitress was never smiling and only doing her job as she was annoied. Not the expected and usual way of serving people in this place. Probably not the best day for everyone in general but always a place where to go.

    Spicy pulled chicken is amazing. I wouldn't think a chicken burger would be my best burger ever.

    I realized that the reviews were exaggerated. We paid 70 euros for two, and unfortunately, the food and taste were not worth that price! I won’t go again.

    The staff were friendly and hospitable, which makes the whole experience more enjoyable on top having the juiciest, most succulent rotisserie chicken I've ever had! Casual vibes in the restaurant, good music and atmosphere.

    Music was less loud than last week. Conversation was possible. Chicken juicy but little bit bloody inside. Taste as always yummy

    Food was delicious & cooked freshly. The staff were amazing & friendly. Went for my husbands 60th birthday. They brought him a piece of cake with a candle & sang happy birthday to him, which was a wonderful touch.

    I would highly recommend this restaurant, especially if you have children as the staff went over and beyond for us. We was a party of three with our 1 year old son, not only did they move our booked table to the door so that it was cooler was our son, they also gave him some paper & pencils to play with and apple sauce to have whilst we waited for our food to arrive. The food itself was delicious, the chicken was so juicy and tender, probably the best chicken I have tasted in a very long time. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience here and would go again.

    Im a local now, but… The country music, the smell of chicken, friendly staff and comfy seating makes this a place I will now go to feel like I’m back in my old hometown in Tennessee. I really loved the food and the music. Cozy spot off the beaten path of the tourist shopping streets!

    Couldn't get in the night before because it was packed. The next night I saw it come up again and they had a table of 3 available within the hour. I was so glad we went. The chicken is truly delicious. I got the half chicken with corn and bread. My friends got the fried chicken burger. We all loved our meals and would recommend eating here!

    Everything is good here. Go for the full chicken and plenty of sides and enjoy a meal to remember. There's no other place like it in AMS

    The chicken was good, very juicy and good portion sizes. Service was helpful and quick. A little disappointed that they didn’t have tap water available

    Cozy diner in a side street of the Spui focusing on rotisserie chicken, other chicken dishes and an extensive cocktail menu. The food was delicious and the service was delivered with a smile!

    We ordered burgers and fries. The fried chicken in the burgers was warmed up from the night before and had a terrible taste. The fries with mayo were OK but all in all really disappointing.

    Very cute and cozy restaurant in a great location. Both suitable for families and also group of friends kicking off Saturday evening with a filling dinner. Only thing we would point out,that at the section we were seated there was a strong septic smell which you sometimes cannot avoid at ground level in Amsterdam. Not really what you would look for in a restaurant...
