Oh. my. goodness... where do I even start? - Edit
I ordered the Crunchy Mac & Cheeze Betterballs, VJFBBQ Heppi Ribs, and Fresh Mint Tea.
Read moreCRUNCHY MAC & CHEEZE BETTERBALLS - filled with macaroni & cheese served with VJFB™ sauce.
These beautiful mac & cheeze bites were fried-tastic! The only thing I disliked was that the noodles inside were a bit mushy. I've had mac n cheese bites before where when you bit into the ball and you can actually see the noodles. That gives it an extra texture. If someone just gave me these without reading the menu, I wouldn't have known they were noodles.
VJFBBQ HEPPI RIBS - the world’s first vegan ribs on black/pink bun, lettuce, pickles, crunchy chipstix, sweet VJFBBQ & hot spicy chick sauce.
Oh. my. goodness. Where do I even start with this babe of a sandwich? I arrived in Amsterdam after a few long, confusing train rides from Berlin. After I checked in at the hostel, I headed straight to the Vegan Junk Food Bar. I was hungry and exhausted, but a bite of this sandwich, and I came back to life. I'm not even joking.
It brought me back to the old McDonald's McRib days! However, this was so much better. The rib was oozing with bbq flavorful and was a nice hefty portion. The sandwich was well-balanced with the accompanies of lettuce, tomato, pickles, and sauce. Also, whoever had the idea to add the chipstix, is a genius! It added a perfect crunch to every bite.
**I wasn't sure if the buns were dyed using natural ingredients or artificial, but they indeed get their pretty color from natural ingredients! sweet!**
FRESH MINT TEA - I loved how simple this fresh mint tea was, literally just mint and hot water. I also enjoyed the little Tony's Chocolonely chocolate treat.
OVERALL - The food was delicious. The atmosphere was fun, inviting, and exciting. I was jamming out with old-school music. Also, the server was friendly, helpful, and kind. Overall, I'm a fan of TVJFB! I took a few points off for the number of paper products they use. Especially for a vegan establishment, it seems like a waste. It's cute for decor purposes, but unless it's repurposed paper, it's not necessary.
To see my visit to the Vegan Junk Food Bar and all of the vegan food I ate in Amsterdam, watch my "eat with me in Amsterdam" video on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VrHHkoYKko&t=479s

Pros: Service, Music, Food
Cons: Use of paper products, If the dye's for the bun are artificial food color

The color of the buns is produced via vegetable fruit and vegetable extracts.

Unique experience - Edit
VJB had been on my bucket list for a while and glad I came here for dinner.
Read moreCons
After telling the waiter that we needed some more time to order drinks, it took a while before the waiter came back.
When ordering our food, the waiter did not properly write down all the items we order, so one item did not show up (which we did not mind, as we probably had overorder anyways, so would not have been able to finish that dish anyways), a friend of mine got the wrong beer (which he did not mind), and I received the wrong sauce (which after telling them, they quickly gave me the sauce I ordered, and we got the keep the sauce we did not order for free)
Drinks are a bit expensive
Pros
Food is very colorful and tasteful, so it is a really unique experience
Nice decoration
They have there exclusive own vegan junkfood bar beer
Conclusion
Would recommend going there at least once to try out his unique dining experience
We paid 54.50 for 2 beers, 2 mains, one side dish and one sauce

The food was amazing, at first the colors scared me, but when i tried it, it didn’t matter. the coffee was great, the locally brewed bear was awesome, i can’t recommend enough!! We had the mac n cheese betterballen (would eat a 100 of those, so good) the fake chicken burger and loaded fries with fake chicken.

Disappointing - Edit
I love a good vegan burger however this is not worth the visit. The fries didn't look and taste homemade. The truffle sauce had a strong beetroot taste, I would have expected a more intense truffle taste.
Read moreEverything was good but not delicious. It's the quality of an average fast food for the price of a good restaurant.

Good Vibes, Fun Food, No Harsh Tokes - Edit
Wha?! My review is the 420th review for Vegan Junk Food Bar - De Pijp location in Amsterdam?! How fitting!!
Read moreWell, after my vegan travelling companion and I had our freshly roasted fix from a nearby coffeeshop we decided we needed to find some Vegan Junk Food and a Beer. We walked a few blocks, turned a corner and There! up yonder, we both laid our ollieballen eyes on the bright light pastel sign: VEGAN JUNK FOOD BAR!! We have arrived!
The outdoor patio in the colorful Marie Heineken Square, near the fountain, was of course, calling our names. Our friendly server was back with our beers in no time and back with our food shortly after that. We tried the Pnut Thai Chik'n Betterballs (Better than Bitterballen!) They were nicely crispy outside with tasty, gooey inside that complemented the beers perfectly. We shared the VJFB™ Heppi Ribs on a pink/black bun with red, spring and crispy onions mix and lettuce, pickles, sweet VJFBBQ sauce and Hot Spicy Chick Sauce (because we're the Hot Sauce Committee) and a side Ceasar Classic salad (to keep it healthy). Definitively satisfied the Munchies!
All in all, Tasty fun food, cool colorful vibes, and a positive experience had by all!
