Came here for a quick bite with a friend and the staff were really friendly. Nothing fancy on the menu but honestly that&rsquo;s what I liked about it. Simple and just right for a chill catch-up 😊

The Hertog Jan on tap was spot on, and the spare ribs went well with it. Cozy spot, though the service was a bit slow when it got busy.

`Nashville chicken chunks` and `Asian beef roll` were amazing&mdash;incredibly tasty! Will absolutely eat there again. The prices are also very nice.

The terrace is the real selling point&mdash;comfy chairs and you can watch the town hall. Coffee was fine, but you&#39;re paying for the view. Decent spot to sit for a while.

Stopped by for lunch and the portion felt fair for what you pay. Nothing fancy, just a solid no-fuss spot when you&#39;re nearby. I had the grilled chicken salad&mdash;greens were fresh, not wilted, which I always appreciate. Maybe not the most exciting meal, but it hit the spot.

The glasshouse out back is a solid spot to park yourself for a few hours. Food was decent, service friendly. Wish they had a better wine list though, beer garden kinda calls for something lighter.

Nice spot, decent food. Service gets a bit slow when they&#39;re packed though. We waited a while for our order, but they did bring a free drink to make up for it.

Solid beef and the dessert really stood out. Location&#39;s super central too. Just felt a bit touristy for my taste, but can&#39;t complain about the meal.

Stopped by for a coffee and ended up staying longer than planned. Place is small but tidy, and the guy behind the counter was super chill. Prices felt fair for what you get. Didn&rsquo;t try the food but the tea menu looked solid. Maybe next time I&rsquo;ll grab a beer instead.

The caramello sundae was solid. Sweet but not too heavy, and the caramel sauce actually tasted like caramel. Got it as a quick stop and it hit the spot. Place was busy but the line moved fast. Would grab one again if I&#39;m in the area.

Stopped by for a quick lunch. Got the Surf and Turf roll &mdash; pretty solid, nice twist on the usual sushi stuff. They&rsquo;ve got enough non-sushi options too, which helps. Service was friendly and fast enough for a work break. No complaints, I&rsquo;d grab it again if I&rsquo;m nearby.

Solid beer list, always rotating. Bartender knew exactly what to suggest when I couldn&#39;t decide. Quick pour, no fuss. Good spot for a fast drink.

Been coming here for years. Quality never dips. Currywurst is solid, staff keeps the line moving fast even when it&#39;s packed.

Been to a few whiskey tastings around town, but this one stood out. The host actually knew his stuff, walked us through each bottle without rushing. Snacks were solid too, not just an afterthought. Came here with a couple of friends last month and we&#39;re still talking about it. Place gets busy later in the evening, so grab a spot early if you want a proper chat with the staff.

Cozy little place, though it gets cramped when busy. There&rsquo;s extra seating upstairs which helps. Warm vibe overall.

Stopped here after the gardens. Terrace looks right over the river, decent spot to just sit for a bit. Had a drink and a sandwich, nothing fancy but fine. Service was okay, a little slow but we weren&#39;t in a hurry. Pretty good for a relaxed stop.

Decent spot for a casual beer. Good selection, and the place has a warm feel to it. We just stopped in for one, didn&#39;t eat. Service was fine, nothing special. Prices are fair for the area. I&#39;d probably come back if I&#39;m in the neighborhood again.

Went for the all-you-can-eat at &euro;31.50 each. Desserts are included, and honestly they&#39;re the best part. Not a bad deal for the price, though I wish I&#39;d saved more room before the main courses.

Loved the loungers outside &mdash; perfect for a lazy drink when the sun&rsquo;s out. Menu looked good on paper, though our food took a while to come. Not mad about it, just something to keep in mind if you&rsquo;re starving. I&rsquo;d still go back for the vibe alone.

The French onion soup was the standout. Rich, deep flavor, proper amount of cheese. Rest of the meal was decent, nothing wrong with it. Service was quick and friendly, no complaints there. I&#39;d come back for that soup alone.

Stopped by for lunch and grabbed the wild pasty special&mdash;still as good as the last time I had it. Place hasn&rsquo;t changed much, which I actually like. Staff recognized me, which never hurts. Only thing is it gets a bit busy around noon, but that&rsquo;s kind of expected. Solid spot if you&rsquo;re in the area.

Decent spot not far from the German border. Food was pretty good and prices fair. Service fine, nothing to complain about.

Found this spot on a side street - really cozy inside. Had the spare ribs and they were proper good. Staff left us alone but were there when needed.

Stopped by for coffee and a slice of pie&mdash;staff were super friendly, even helped us pick since we don&rsquo;t speak Dutch. The pie was solid, though I wish the portion was a bit bigger. Coffee did the job too. Nice little spot if you&rsquo;re in the area.

Stopped here after wandering around the chapel area &mdash; such a pretty spot to just sit and chill. Had a coffee with a slice of Limburg flan, which was nicely sweet without being too heavy. Staff were friendly and quick even though it was busy. Only thing is seating outside fills up fast, so grab a spot when you can 😄

The terrace really makes this place. Sat outside with some tapas and a glass of wine, didn&#39;t want to leave. Food was decent, nothing mind-blowing, but the vibe outside was just right. Service was a bit slow though, had to wait a while for the bill. Still, lovely spot for a lazy afternoon.

Fish and chips were solid, crispy batter and decent portion for the price. Staff didn&#39;t hover, which I liked. Good spot if you&#39;re in the area.

The tuna bagel was fresh, really fresh. They warmed it just enough, which I appreciated. Nice to find a spot that doesn&#39;t drown the fish in sauce. Music was a bit loud for my taste, but the vibe was fine. Staff friendly enough.
