"Bring friends and family here for the best frites in town drenched in the best sauces, too. It’s a guilty pleasure (only get a large if you don’t plan to eat again for a while) but worth it for that hot chip goodness and the satisfaction of bagging a local food hero."

"Vleminckx has been frying up Belgian fries since 1957, and it shows—these are some of the city's best. The place is just a hole in the wall, and a wait in the queue is well worth it."

"One of the best places to try the Lowlands' famous french fries is Vlaams (Flemish) Friethuis Vleminckx, where the fries are freshly made and delicious. Go native and order a patatje oorlog (war-style fries), topped with mayonnaise, satay sauce, and raw onion."

Lonely Planet

"Frying up frites (fries) since 1887, Amsterdam's best friterie has been based at this hole-in-the-wall takeaway shack near the Spui since 1957. The standard order of perfectly cooked crispy, fluffy frites is smothered in mayonnaise, though its 28 sauces also include apple, green pepper, ketchup, peanut, sambal and mustard."

"They’re usually served in paper cones, always with a generous dollop of sauce—mayonnaise-y fritessaus is the standard, but others are offered too, including the deadly Dutch combo known as oorlog (“war”), a mix of mayo, peanut satay sauce, and raw onions. The supposed battle in your mouth that ensues? That’s a war we’ll stand behind."

"It was a real french fries experience! They were nice and hot and salty. Crispy on the outside and soft as butter on the inside. Simply delicious and a must not only for french fries fans!"

Lizzie Mabbott

"The queue was at least 10 strong and when we got our chips I found out why. They were amazing. Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside and well seasoned, we had ours topped with mayonnaise and diced onion."

Helen Graves

"I’d definitely recommend grabbing a cone of chips at the awesomely named Vleminckx Sausmeesters. The chips seemed triple fried to me as the exterior was thick and crunchy. Topped with a sweetened mayo and diced onion they were excellent."

Ed Gilbert

"I was recommended patatje oorlog aka war chips. Uber crisp and super fluffy chips were double cooked to order. They were adorned with a genius combination of creamy mayonnaise, satay sauce and raw onion. Wow."
