Stacks Diner

We were fortunate enough to get a table when we arrived around 5pm. Many others after us were turned away, so best to reserve ahead. The food and its flavours were on point, my only critique is that the fried chicken breading and hash brown crust was way too hard. If they fixed that the meal would have been perfect. However, the salmon roe and cream dip was amazing, the cocktails were very good, and the steak was incredible. Service and the atmosphere were excellent.

The people, the food and the vibe are all coming together for an amazing experience. A must-visit for Brunch/Lunch or Dinner in Amsterdam. This has just got in my favourites list. The food was high-quality and delicious. The vibe of the place matches the food, is cosy and people are great. Just visit it…you will see for yourself

As an American in the Netherlands, Stacks Diner feels like home. The food has a Southern American vibe that truly hits the spot. Their biscuits are incredible, and their Thanksgiving feast was fantastic—the turkey was juicy, and every dish was divine. * also shout out to the hot honey butter. Instead of pumpkin pie, they served Key lime pie, and it was so good salty and sour and sweet. The margarita was strong, and the service was warm and friendly, with many American staff adding to the welcoming vibe. One small drawback: half the seating is backless, so if you need a chair with support, it’s worth asking in advance. Overall, Stacks Diner Amsterdam is o my shortlist of places to eat out. The prices are reasonable, the atmosphere is cozy, and I hope they stay in Amsterdam for years to come. Highly recommended!

What can I say about Stacks Diner? I had the privilege of dining there last Saturday night and let me tell you how great of an experience that was! I was blown away by the wedge salad and the creativeness of its cheesy sauce that embodied the flavor of blue cheese while not overpowering the dishes flavors but complementing them. The steak tartare was also delicious, but the real deal was the chilaquiles. It was my first time trying the dish and honestly I don’t think I’d ever want to try another because I don’t think this one can be topped. For the main we had a biscuit with fried chicken and a steak that was cooked to absolute perfection. The biscuit and fried chicken combo was not my favorite but the flavor and taste of both components was still exceptional. We ended on a high note with the lemon pie that was to die forrrrrr🤤. We also had some cocktails and I can say that their Negroni are definitely worth a shot. Their Paloma’s are exquisite and their margaritas as well (considering I’m not the biggest fan of margaritas). I can definitely recommend stacks diner as one of the best places in Amsterdam to have a fulfilling dinner. Their service is impeccable and their staff is so friendly. If you get lucky you may get a chance to have seats overlooking the bar and kitchen and let me tell you that augments the experience ten folds. Can’t wait to go eat their brunch menu next!!

I’ve been wanting to come here for a long time and I was not disappointed. The staff are so wonderful and attentive (not very common in Amsterdam) - the atmosphere inside is 10/10. The food was great, perfectly cooked eggs and crispy bacon, the biscuit out of this world, great hashbrown. The sausage gravy and grits were a tiny bit underseasoned but this also might be personal preference - and luckily great hot sauce and hot honey were available too. Can’t fault it and reasonably priced. Will be coming back VERY soon.

Nice spot for brunch. The prices are a little high for the portion sizes, but overall good quality food. The pancakes with seasonal fruit (blueberries in this case) were fluffy. The egg and cheese biscuit was great and there’s in-house hot sauce on the table that I added for more flavor. The bacon comes more Canadian style than American bacon. The patty melt was rated pretty okay. Our server was super helpful with any additional requests.

Overall experience is just okay no more than that. The stake was chewy, chicken burger was way too dry and heavy by itself. The burger needs some acidity otherwise it’s too heavy and dry. Porsions are tasting size. It is on the expensive side considering the porsion sizes and general taste. If you are around and no place to go you could try. Maybe.

Everything we tasted were so delicious, incredible food and well prepared, my favorite comfort food dining in Amsterdam, also amazing staff, so knowledgeable, kind and helpful. Never had better grilled dry aged beef and also the biscuits, actually even the most basic starters are exploding with flavors.
