Stacks Diner

We absolutely love the atmosphere the dim lighting creates such a warm and cozy vibe. The food was excellent, especially the chicken biscuits. The rest of the meat dishes and the salad were delicious as well. The service was amazing; the staff are incredibly friendly, always smiling, and genuinely check in to see how you’re doing. You really feel welcomed here. Highly recommended!

Dinner on Dec 29, reserved a spot for two via restaurant website. Katie (I hope I got the name right) was kind enough to push our reservation by 45 mins when I called the restaurant since we were running late. Thank you for doing that! When we reached the restaurant, we were told that most of the items that had chicken and fish were unavailable, even fries were out of stock. I would have liked this information when I called to push our reservation because I would have been okay canceling my reservation even if it meant losing 20 euros. The food we ordered was hash browns, spinach, paprika chicken and a biscuit due to the limited options available. Except the paprika chicken everything else could have been skipped. The hash browns were so bad that when we told the restaurant about it they removed it from our final bill. The biggest red flag for me was the Dry Aged Steak w/ Chimichurri; on the menu its priced at 16 euros/100grams but when we wanted to order 200 grams we were told that the minimum quantity for an order is 450 grams. This is not stated on the menu and given the food options were limited, they could have accommodated our request. Strongly suggest that they update their menu and add the minimum quantity requirement or price the dish at 72 euros/450grams so that its not misleading. We skipped dessert since the food was underwhelming and the overall experience was meh. The service professionals were all super kind, understanding and went above and beyond to help us so kuddos to them. Would I recommend stacks to anyone visiting Amsterdam? NOPE

Just moved to Amsterdam and Stacks feels like an elevated taste of home! “We should come here all the time” said my 14 year old. 😆 Steak & eggs was extraordinary, a real standout! The Big Stack was delicious and gave us a sample of everything including a fluffy American pancake. And the fried chicken biscuit with the chili glaze was unique and yummy. Warm and friendly service. We will definitely be back!

So we had a reservation from 17:15 and reservation is valid up until 19:15. The service was friendly and welcoming. Service was well timed and efficient. The food was good but not great. More seasoning goes a long way for us personally. The best dish for me was the pumpkin starter with the spicy peanuts. The rest was decent. My wife had a glass of bubbles. She was introduced to it with an elaborate explanation of origin etc. Dinner continued and we chilled for a bit not sure if we are wanting to order desert or changed our minds for another round of drinks. We chilling and talking and up comes the waiter to tell us if we are not ordering anything else, he would like to turn the table “coz he actually needs it” and “he doesn’t usually do this”. Completely taken a back by it, I obliged. What a way to ruin what was a decent experience. Won’t be going back there. Honour your time slots. I don’t care if I am sitting drinking water until 19:15. Anyways…onto the next one.

Went for dinner. We had a reservation and received a nice table. Would recommend you book in advance, especially for dinner on the weekends. I wanna start by pointing out how amazing service is here. It’s a cut above the service you receive anywhere else in the Netherlands, which makes sense, given the American roots of the establishment. The staff are very kind, attentive and accommodating. The food was also excellent. For those that crave hash browns and can’t find good ones in the NL, Stacks’ hash browns with sour cream & caviar really hit the spot. Delicious pairing! We also got the fried pumpkin. I forgot what the dressing was, but they worked perfectly together. I think this one might have been a seasonal special — so don’t miss it if you see it on the menu! I got the fried chicken biscuit (how could you not when you see it on the menu), and it was excellent! The honey glaze was a nice touch. My partner got the fried fish biscuit, and they really enjoyed it too. Finally, the banana pie is unmissable! It’s so delicious. Make sure to get a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side for a perfect pairing. Overall, we had a great time at Stacks. The diner-inspired ambiance accompanied by good service and delicious food made our night. Will be back!

It was our last night in Amsterdam before flying back to Singapore the next morning. We walked in to a full house Stacks Diner. And thankfully, we were served by Imro who went the extra mile to squeeze out a table for us. And not only that, he made awesome food recommendations too! Thanks Imro for getting us that table. It was one of our bestest dinners in Amsterdam!

We came here thanks to a Turkish influencer’s recommendation and loved it! The staff were super friendly and welcoming, and the place has a cozy, stylish vibe with dim lighting. We tried the grilled steak with chimichurri, the mashed potatoes, and the chicken biscuit. Everything was really good, but I would definitely recommend the mashed potatoes the subtle roasted butter flavor is perfectly balanced.

Stacks Diner is such a fun spot! The food was delicious — the biscuits were the absolute highlight, perfectly flaky and buttery. I also tried the fried chicken sandwich, which was juicy and well-seasoned, and the latkes on the side were just right. The menu has that comforting, homestyle feel but with enough variety to keep it interesting. The decor adds to the charm — cozy, retro-diner vibes with lots of character — and the service was warm and friendly without being over the top. Overall, a great place to relax over a really good meal. I’d happily come back, especially for those biscuits!
