Stach Food - Overveen

So, I finally made it to Stach after hearing all the hype. Unfortunately, that's all it is ... hype. Started off on the wrong foot as it took more than 15 minutes for someone to even acknowledge our presence. The place is small, so that's just bad service. I had to get up and ask if we could place our order. After that, service was friendly and timely. Sadly that couldn't make up for the clubsandwich we ordered. My God. It was embarrassing. It was basically a bread sandwich. I had to open it up to find the 1 slice of bacon and two small chicken strips, along with two tomato slices and soggy lettuce. Thought it could be a mistake but my daughters sandwich was the same. It wasnt even busy. I'm glad I finally went so I know I don't ever have to go again. Truly a waste of our time and money for an offensive excuse of a simple sandwich.

We just got off a 10 hour flight and our first meal in Holland was at STACH and it did not disappoint. The waitress was very nice and patient...answered all our questions in English and made us feel at home. My daughter and I had burgers, perfectly cooked on a fresh bun with yummy toppings. We made ours menu so they came with Frits (French fries) and a side Caesar salad. My wife had that evening 's special ribeye steak with salad, potato, and delicious grilled tomatoes still on the vine. My beer was very cold and my wife 's wine was good. I could see the chef preparing our food and it came to our table quickly. The restaurant is also very clean, but rustic and charming. Unfortunately, we were too tired and full to try dessert. They have a fridge on the side with many prepared foods for carry-out: salads, pasta, sandwiches, pizza, drinks, chips, etc. I also thought the value was good. What a great start to our 9 days in Haarlem/Overveen! I suspect we will have another meal there.

We kwamen rond 12:30 binnen en bestelden alle drie de Meatball Truffel burger. Na 3 kwartier wachten hoorden we ineens dat het vlees op was en dat we geen burger kregen. Dit had veel eerder gemeld moeten worden. We hadden hierdoor geen tijd meer om ter plekke te eten en moesten ineens wat anders bestellen. De bestelling kregen we mee en klopte alsnog niet. Verkeerd belegd en verkeerde broodsoort. Slechte service. We hebben echt lang gewacht en kregen alsnog niet wat we wilden. Jammer.

Disappointing breakfast at Stach. Visited 9:30 on Sunday. Stach no longer offer a big breakfast (they used to have boiled egg, croissant, jam, ham, cheese, juice, coffee in one special. So we asked for the ‘Smashed avocado w/ eggs’. Unfortunaetly the cook wasn’t yet in (not clear why . And wouldn’t arrive until 10am (an hour after opening time , but we were told he wouldn’t be cooking immediately when arriving. So we took the ‘Koffie croissant sapje’. Also disappointing, croissant with no jam or butter, not really fresh juice. Could be so much better. Used to be Service: Dine in Meal type: Breakfast Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3

Prachtig plekje. Vaak ook lekkere koffie. Maar vandaag echt vieze koffie. We hebben het zelfs niet opgedronken. Ik hoop dat dat eenmalig was. Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: €1–10 Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 4
