The Cannibale signature burger features locally sourced organic grass-fed beef seared over live flames. The beef is the star — no heavy toppings mask the quality. Reviews praise the tender, juicy patty and the fresh bun. This is the burger people order when they want Cannibale's take on the fundamentals.
Tips from diners
This is the classic burger to order. The beef quality is clear on first bite. Pair it with a craft beer from their curated list.
Cannibale brines and grills their own spareribs, finishing with a signature sweet marinade that caramelizes over the flame. The ribs are tender and pull cleanly from the bone. Multiple reviews call this a must-order — the meat is consistent and the glaze delivers both sweetness and depth.
Tips from diners
Order the ribs if you arrive after 11pm — they're perfect with the beer selection and arrive hot and ready quickly even during rush.
Rotating selection of Dutch and international craft beers on tap and in bottle.
Tips from diners
The beer menu changes — ask what's new. Late-night service is just as attentive as early dinner.
The lamb T-bone is grilled to order, seared on the outside while staying tender inside. The bright salsa verde of parsley, garlic, and olive oil cuts through the richness of the meat. This is a standout non-beef option at a beef-focused restaurant.
Tips from diners
Reserve the table and ask for a recommendation on meat cuts — the server can explain why the lamb T-bone is worth trying if you've done steak every visit.
Slow-grilled rib roast served with creamy mac and cheese.
Tips from diners
Ask for medium-rare — the meat is thick and benefits from slightly less cooking to stay tender.
