    Really perfect smokehouse food. Delicious and succulent brisket, awesome tender pork ribs and nice smoked salmon all combined in their The Spread platter. Sides are yummy too! And excellent cocktails

    Beef briskets are super juicy and tender. The pulled pork is also amazing. For the sides, we recommend Mac and Cheese as it perfectly balances the whole dish. Also, the waiter was super friendly.

    Something different, cozy, excellent wine/beer/drinks, lovely sidedishes... but most of all the smoked meat! Try it out and you will not regret

    Big, meaty pork ribs that fall apart easily (they're pretty fatty though). Beef ribs that my dining partner got turned out to be one rib :/ Service was friendly and funny.

    American here, enjoyed the pulled pork and highly recommend it. Great smoke flavor! The cole slaw was a bit strange (cut more like a salad than actual slaw), but the flavors were good & paired well!

    Very nice place! The meat is delicious! Very kind people working there. I would recommend without hesitation this place. They have an option to share, it's the best way to try it all. Ribs are great!

    We had The Spread with ribs, brisket, pork cheeks (salad, beans, mac&cheese as sides). Meats were FANTASTIC! Best we've had in years all around the world. Also sides were delish!

    Probably the best barbecue joint in the Netherlands. If they have it, grab a beef rib! It’s pure bliss on a bone 😍

    Best bbq I’ve had in Europe and I’ve tried a lot of bbq places in Europe having lived here since 2010. I try to go every time I’m in Amsterdam.

    Pork cheeks is the signature dish. You can't get 'em anywhere like this and they're super tasty.

    Great food, excellent service. Go for pork cheeks, mac'n'cheese and mash. The spread is genuinely big and will easily feed two grown-up people.

    Great food, ribs and brisket are as tender as can be. Super staff. Be sure to ask for the story behind the name ‘pendergast’!

    Great ribs, if you are in a small group of people, have the 3 meals a and 3 salads - it is enough :)) and really delicious

    Excellent spot in the city. Try the brisket and the Smith Street No 4 cocktail. You will not regret it.

    I tried the pork cheek. The meat was really well cooked and tasty. The service was fast, which was good because I was very hungry.

    Our dish was ok, the pork cheek was good but the ribs were fatty and overcooked. Friendly but very slow service, we booked our table to 8:30 pm but we started our dinner more than one hour later!

    Fantastic food and service. If you're with 2, get 'The Spread' and you'll get three mains with three sides.
