Meneer Smakers - Utrecht

Love. Just love for Meneer Smakers. As a vegetarian I obviously had the Goat Cheese burger and as Oprah would say, I had an Aha moment . I took one bite of the burger and was immediately faced with the thought: Why did I never think of this?? . I love that Meneer Smakers has gone completely outside of the box when creating their veggie burger, so a tip of the hat to you! Another huge plus for me: deep golden, crispy chips. I am always a happy girl when I have chips that crunch and crisp in my mouth, so I was a lucky ducky here too! Meneer Smakers has a simple but delicious menu and I will definitely be back for more! P.S. Check out the menu 's on the counter, they 're also in English and tell you what the specials and extra toppings are. ;

I thought my burger here was very good value, but not great tasting. I got the no-toppings burger with house sauce, a fried egg, and bacon. The first few bites were quite good but then it seemed to be pretty bland for the rest of the serving. It was a very large burger that was sort of challenging to eat, as well. They give you a good portion of fries if you order them on the side. I thought the meat was good quality but somehow the whole assemblage lacked volume; I prefer Pickles to this place for taste, but they are quite a bit pricier.

The burgers were tasty and large, but a little dry. I know that cook them all the same but maybe take request for less done. Even with that, I'll go back because it was a nice meal. KW

I was excited to go to a new burger place in Utrecht glad the the burger craze is coming to the Netherlands. Meneer Smakers is cool I like the design and envy the simple menu. The prices are resonable too. So... how's the food? The Smakers burger I was suprised to see cucumber and roasted eggplant on the burger non tradiitonal burger toppings. Just take them off when you get your burger and eat them as sides. The burger consistency is more meat loaf than it should be. Sauce was okay nothing special. Fries they seemed darker than usual. delicious and they nailed it. EDIT: went several times, not blown away, moving down to 3 stars.

Absolutely excellent! Meneer Smakers is exactly what you are looking for in a burger restaurant. The beef tastes great, and they 'll cook to your specifications if you ask. The toppings are fresh, tasty and compliment the burger very well. The bun is also quite delectable but doesn 't fight the burger as many fancy buns tend to do. The fries are also top notch, thick, crispy and full of flavor. They have many sauces to choose from including things like BBQ sauce and vinegar as well. The staff is very friendly, and they 'll actually give you tap water without a fuss. $10 for a solid burger and fries that could potentially feed 2 people is a very fair deal. I eat here at least once a month and will continue to do so.
