Great food but horrible service - Edit
First of all I want to appreciate the great food they make. Everything is unbelievably tasty, looks incredible (very instagrammable) and makes your overall experience already great. So food wise - 5 stars, amazing! This used to be the place I went to with every friend I took to Amsterdam.
Read moreSadly the staff can change your whole experience for the worst.
The last two times I went there I was treated as if they wouldn't want me to be there. First of all I was told in a very rude and snappy way that we have to wait at least half an hour to get a table but that we'll get called. We never got called so we went back after 40 minutes and the same waiter seemed very annoyed by us but then gave us a table after all. If I wouldn't have known the food I wouldn't have gone back for sure since he seemed like he hates people and is happy if you just go away.
The second experience, which made me vow to never go back here, was with the same waiter sadly. I went with a friend that doesn't earn so much money, so we asked for the cheapest option to have beer together. The waiter was very rude and snappy and didn't want to help us deciding if a pitcher or just two single big beers was the better option. He gave us wrong information about the size of the pitcher and when he came back outside he said to me that if we look for cheap beer we could just go to the supermarket next door where they sell canned beer for 1€. I have never felt so humiliated by a waiter. It seemed like they only want rich people to eat there and if someone is open about looking for the cheapest option you get treated like you're nothing and not welcome. I am aware not everyone will have this experience but I want to share this since that turned this place from my to go to restaurant to never going back.
Pros: Tasty food, Looks great, Awesome if you want to take pictures for Instagram
Cons: Rude, Felt treated like they don't want me there, Only interested in your money

Would give this a miss - Edit
Food is fine but it's really expensive for what it is. Having now read about the owner treating staff poorly and opening non vegan restaurants, I would also give it a wide berth because of that.

Amazing 👏 - Edit
Visited back in 2018 with my non vegan husband and this restaurant was the place he started being more open to eating vegan food. We were both mind blown by the burgers 🤤

Great quality vegan burger - Edit
A great quality vegan burger! We both had a Notorious burger with Frites uit Zuyd - tasty, saucy, juicy and fun with the black and pink buns. A generous portion for the fries. We ordered to collect through Uber Eats and the food was ready very quickly. Would have loved to try their other options.

One of Amsterdam’s Vegan Legends - Edit
Vegan Junk Food Bar will always be one of the OG spots serving actual good vegan junk food, with their own signature recipes. The classic kapsalon is always a must-order! I don’t go as often these days, but it’s always a "feestje" when I do, usually when friends from abroad are visiting. The vibe inside can get a bit loud, so I prefer coming in summer to sit outside on the terrace. It’s a shame the other branches have closed #rip, so I really hope the one at Marie Heinekenplein stays around for a long time. Even if I don’t visit as often as I used to, long live the VJFB, one I’ll never forget. ✌️

Fab menu and location - Edit
Third time visiting this restaurant, and I just love the atmosphere and menu. The new sharwarma wrap is so good but really spolit for choice and left feeling full and happ, which is partly down to the lovely cocktail options.

Fun Junk Food - Edit
Go here for a vegan junk food option in Amsterdam. We were satisfied with the food although the onion rings seemed to be mostly batter and minimal onion. They make food look fun with all the brightly coloured sauces and buns. Maybe more gimmicky than actual value to the overall flavour but still a nice little spot if this is the type of meal you’re looking for.

Junk options for vegans - Edit
Everything is in the name of the restaurant. You can find many kinds of fast food-inspired options but vegan, like chicken wings or burgers. Probably not the best for diet but nice for comfort food. It would be nice for vegetarians who still miss meat

Good food but not very exciting - Edit
We came here because of being recommended to by many people.
Read moreWe do not really understand the hype, to be honest. The food was good but also tasted pretty generic. The colors were fun, and since it's been around for a relatively long time it was still interesting. But we probably won't come again. Also the "wingz" were more like Nuggets

Amazing vegan chicken wings! - Edit
The Sumo Platter is perfect if you want to try a bit of everything. We were glad to try the vegan bitterballen, but the real star was the vegan chicken wings — absolutely amazing! The sauces were delicious too. Great atmosphere with fun music. Can’t wait to come back and try the burgers next time!

Very good burgers - Edit
The burgers were very delicious. The vegan cheese was very tasty but also not sticky at all. The fries were perfectly fried. Everything’s vegan so you don’t have to worry about ordering something wrong.
Read moreThe price is fine for what you get, maybe a little bit pricey.
All in all was it a very nice meal.
Pros: Tasty vegan Cheese

Solid burgers with a colorful touch - Edit
Everything we tried tasted very delicious.
Read moreThe vegan fish on our second burger actually tasted like fish, a good alternative!
The spicy chicken bars as a starter were super tasty and crunchy, amazing!
We had a pink garlic sauce which sounded good, but did not really had a flavour at all, it was just cute looking. Also, the prices seemed high for us tho - so that this meal was a very delicious but pricy experience.

Delicious vegan food - Edit
The vegan shawarma loaded fries and the one with „fish“ were amazing. I had a burger with blue cheese sauce and a chicken patty which came with fries. Everything tasted so delicious, it really makes you want to try everything on the menu. I went there with my non vegetarian family and they loved it as well

Amazing, make sure you go! - Edit
Brilliant food, a must go if you love a proper junk food spot.
Read moreAll burgers come with fries, and a wide range of sauces, including vegan cheese sauce.
My partner had the loaded fries which came in a massive portion, plenty as a meal by itself.
Drinks are also excellent, with a good variety of soft drinks.
Slightly pricey, but the service was great and food arrived very quickly.
Pros: Great portion size, Excellent taste, Fast service
