Amsterdam Cafe

Located in Amsterdam Walk, this big restaurant is located in the cut at the back of Amsterdam Walk. First impressions, it seemed like a neighborhood dive bar/​restaurant. They have a huge outdoor patio to bask in on those sunny days.
I had the Super Nachos and it was huge. My only qualm is that there was a much higher ratio of chips to cheese sauce. I end up with a plate of many naked tortilla chips. The chips that were loaded were pretty tasty.
They have a pool area if you would like to get in a game or three. Overall pretty average spot to hang. Looking at the menus upon entry, they do weekend brunch.

Who knows how their food is. We went for lunch mid-​afternoon on a Saturday. It was quiet there, but after we were seated our waiter never returned. We didn’t even get waters. We left after waiting for thirty minutes and being completely ignored. I won’t be back.

The location, patio bar, and atmosphere were great. The food was good, but over priced. The service by our waiter was slow and slower. The other server was great and did more for us than our own server. The funny thing is that our server, when he finally would check on us, would as us what we needed then whisk away after we told him. Only thing was he would never do it but the other server would finally get it for us. The guy asked us if he could take our order when he had already done it, then we watch him frantically put our order in after he told us he already had. He was nice but not very good. We will not return.

Love everything from the food, location, staff, to the pet-​friendly patio! Anywhere I can take my dog and enjoy a sunny day outdoors is a win in my book. You have your classic bar food at this joint and a great beer menu. The wings are delish, but their house made fries are amazing! The Mango Margarita fish bowl was a tad too sweet for my liking, so will maybe try the Voodoo fish bowl next time! I recommend plenty more «next times» to all :).

Bartenders very grouchy! They definitely should be working in a different industry. This review is not based off the food. We left because of the rudeness.

We went there for Sunday brunch, and my daughter requested their Amsterdam omelet without the meat. they came back and said they couldn’t modify their menu. all we did was ask them to leave out one item from their omelet. …we went elsewhere.

The location is really cute. The person who served me was also a nice person. Prices are very reasonable. Salad sauce was really good.

Service is extremely slow but the dog friendly patio makes up for the service. Food is just ok. They give you water bowls and treats for your dog though!

Pretty much the same story as the others… Service is subpar at best… Were told to sit wherever, and then waited for 15 – 29 before someone came. Ordered drinks, that too like 10 min. We ordered food at the same time, and… It never showed! We finally said something after an hour. They said it got lost in the kitchen? Needless to say we said we would pay for the drinks and cancel the food. The waitress was
Definitely overwhelmed.
The only reason I am giving 2 stars instead of 1 is because the manager was very understanding and comped our 2 beers and offered to buy another round. We politely declined as we were starving. Too bad, nice location, we’d come back if service got better.

Like many others who reviewed this restaurant, my husband and I were extremely disappointed by the service. We had to wait 15 minutes to even be seated (Saturday afternoon– not busy) and no one would even give us an idea of how long the wait would be. We had to leave after 5 minutes of sitting and not being waited on. EIGHT other people who got there the same time we did left before being served as well because the wait was so long. It’s disappointing because it’s a great location and the menu looked good, but there’s a lot of business being lost when people aren’t able to be seated and served within 20 minutes. Here’s to hoping for vast improvement at Amsterdam Café !

If I could give zero stars I would, but we literally didn’t get one item to review before we had to leave.
We Went here on a Sunday afternoon. It wasn’t busy.
Should have known it was a bad idea when we saw another table get up and leave after not being served.
When a waiter finally came by he brought one menu and offered to bring us waters. 20 minutes later we left because he never came back.
I am generally really patient when at restaurants because as a service industry worker I understand that something could be going on, but this almost felt like they didn’t care enough to help us.

I am a little annoyed because I was COMPLETELY IGNORED this past saturday afternoon. I asked if I could enter the porch with my dogs. The server said yes and to take whatever table. I sat, unattended, for almost 15 minutes, maybe a bit more. I really do not understand how this happened, but a couple of men and their dogs sat 2 tables away from me a minute or 2 after I sat, and they were brought: Bowls with water and a treat for each of their dogs, drinks of red wine, and menus. Meanwhile, I patiently looked around hoping the servers (2 of them out there) would come to me. Not even the one who directed me to enter the porch, bothered to take any notice to serve me or offer to. My dogs were behaved, I was behaved.. . I feel like I was made of glass and nobody could see me! I ended up walking, a bit indignant, but too proud to bother bringing up my lengthily wait. I walked 4 miles to Ponce City (and I live across the way on the other side of Monroe). It is not acceptable to ignore patrons, especially when they very well knew I had sat there and obviously needed service!

This is a great place to come! Friendly people and smokers outside… Good food… Oh! Did I mention show tunes nights on Tuesdays? Amazing!!! And the beer selection is for the record… MUY BUENA!

Ordered a chicken tender wrap with fried chicken which was definitely mediocre at best. The fries however are flat and very crunchy and were the star of the show.

Burgers here are very delicious and a must have crime the menu! Location of the place is right next to Piedmont park which is a plus.

I walked in after work to grab a drink and it was smokey and dark and I couldn’t see where I was pissing and I immediately wanted to write a bad review, then I ordered a beer and it was indisputably the coldest and most delicious beer I’ve ever had.
Redeemed.
Also apparently it’s a gay bar? Oh well.

I would only go back if another friend invites me for their birthday. I ordered the hummus wrap with a side of the twice backed potato. My party had about 17 people in it. And somehow they didn’t make mine and the birthday boy’s food. They had to go make ours after everyone had been served and started eating. They gave me a discount, which was definitely needed because the hummus was not very good. The potato however was pretty good, after I asked for more cheese and sour cream.
I think this place is more of a bar to visit than a place to dine.
There was also a very random drag show starring Sharon Needles, no not THAT Sharon Needles. The one that looked like the fourth member of the Golden Girls. It was not dragtastic and the MC was racist. He promised me a free drink after making a certain remark. I never got that drink.

The food is good and at a reasonable price. it’s not a nonsmoking location and leave your phobias at home for a great burger.

Oh Amsterdam. The location is great. The outdoor beer garden is awesome. Tasteful decorations, natural shade, and music played at a level that allows conversation.
Oh Amsterdam. The service is horrible. This is my second time here, and right now I’ve been waiting 25 minutes for an appetizer order of chips and queso to be delivered. The jalapeño margarita reminds me of the time I was swimming in the Dead Sea and accidentally got swallowed some of the water. Last time I was here I ordered nachos. They took took even longer. I understand that it’s laid back here, but come on.

Ok great day today ! People waiting in the door to be «seated» and no one comes to greet no body! I just saw a bunch of people wait and waitress walk by and ignored them !!! Of course they left”. Great way to do bussines for the owner ha! We finally have to grab a table and still waiting for cleanup a dirty table
