About this spot
Staring at Jacob brings authentic New York soul food to Amsterdam's Oud-West with towering stacks of brioche French toast and spicy Nashville chicken sandwiches that feel like a trip across the Atlantic. The menu balances indulgent comfort foods like RASCO Buttermilk fried chicken with fresh options such as the zesty Mango Salad, perfect for cutting through the richness of the aiols.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the Nashville Chicken Sandwich to share, as the generous portion includes seasoned fries and a side of house-made aiols.
- Ask for extra pickles on your sandwich if you want that classic American diner crunch to balance the spicy hot chicken thigh.
- Save room for the NYC Sweet Stack, which features white chocolate ganache and strawberry-peach bourbon jam that pairs perfectly with Dutch coffee.
