7Bone är en klassisk burgarkedja som idag har tio restauranger i södra England. Vi testade dem redan 2019 och gjorde nyligen ett återbesök under Burger Fest UK, där de bland annat serverade sin nya burgare Loyal to the Bone. Efter festivalen besökte vi även deras restaurang i Brighton för att testa burgaren igen. Den bestod av 200 gram av 40 dagars hängmörat kött, American cheese, strimlad sallad, picklad rödlök, rostad lök, miso- och benmärgsmajonnäs samt svartpepparranch och kostade 14 GBP (180 kronor).

Burgaren var en mäktig skapelse som nästan var lika hög som den var bred, och vi såg direkt att detta var en burgare där mycket skulle handla om köttets kvalitet. Det hade massor av hängmörad smak, en härligt luftig textur och otroligt mycket saftighet. Det sesamtäckta brödet höll ihop allt bra och var följsamt att hålla i handen. Tyvärr tyckte vi inte att de andra ingredienserna lyfte köttet så mycket som de borde. Den picklade rödlöken var för syrlig och svartpepparranchen för tung och dominant, samtidigt som miso- och benmärgsmajonnäsen drog iväg med ytterligare en kraftig smak. Den strimlade salladen och rostade löken gav i alla fall allt lite krispig textur, vilket vi uppskattade.

7Bone har något väldigt spännande på gång med sina ganska unika, tjockare köttpuckar, och restaurangbesöket visade ännu tydligare hur bra själva köttet faktiskt är. Loyal to the Bone hade däremot för många kraftiga smaker som stod i vägen för det, och vi hade gärna sett en enklare kombination där det hängmörade och ultrasaftiga köttet fick stå i centrum. Efter vårt senaste besök har vi sett att det nu går att få alla deras burgare med en stor köttpuck, så vi ser fram emot att testa en mer välbalaserad burgare hos dem i framtiden. För det här har potential att bli något riktigt speciellt som sticker ut på Englands burgarscen.

In English

7Bone is a classic burger chain with ten restaurants across southern England. We first tried them back in 2019 and recently revisited them at Burger Fest UK, where they served their new Loyal to the Bone burger. After the festival, we also visited their restaurant in Brighton to try the burger again. It came with a 200-gram patty of dry-aged beef, American cheese, shredded lettuce, pickled red onions, crispy onions, miso and bone marrow mayo and black pepper ranch, and cost 14 GBP (19 USD).

The burger was an imposing creation that was almost as tall as it was wide, and we could immediately tell that much of it would come down to the quality of the beef. It had loads of dry-aged flavour, a wonderfully airy texture and was incredibly juicy. The sesame bun held everything together well and was soft and easy to hold. Unfortunately, we didn’t think the other ingredients complemented the beef as much as they should have. The pickled red onions were too acidic and the black pepper ranch was too heavy and dominant, while the miso and bone marrow mayo added yet another powerful flavour. The shredded lettuce and crispy onions at least gave everything a bit of crunch, which we appreciated.

7Bone has something very exciting going on with their fairly unique, thicker patties, and our restaurant visit made it even clearer just how good the beef actually is. However, Loyal to the Bone had too many powerful flavours that got in the way, and we would’ve preferred a simpler combination that allowed the dry-aged and incredibly juicy beef to take centre stage. Since our latest visit, we’ve seen that all of their burgers are now available with a large patty, so we’re looking forward to trying a more well-balanced burger from them in the future. This has the potential to become something really special that stands out on the English burger scene.

En blek MeatLiquor-kopia.

7Bone Burger Co. är en engelsk hamburgerkedja med tiotalet restauranger i den södra delen av landet. Inredningen känns starkt inspirerad av burgarkedjan MeatLiquors rockiga attityd och dåliga belysning, fast med lite mindre egen karaktär. Här serveras burgare gjorda på hängmörat kött, och du får själv välja om du vill ha en vanlig 170-gramsköttpuck eller två smashade 85-gramspuckar.

Vi beställde en Ronald’s Revenge med en stor köttpuck, ost, hackad silverlök, pickles, senap och ketchup för 8,25 pund (100 kronor), tillsammans med lite tillbehör. Precis som namnet antydde så var detta en kopia på McDonald’s klassiska cheeseburgare, men även här lös jämförelsen med MeatLiquor igenom, mycket på grund av att de hade ett liknande bröd – en mjukfrallig skapelse som höll ihop förvånansvärt bra. Och tur var väl det, då burgaren var ganska hafsigt hopbyggd.

Vi ångrade nästan omedelbart att vi inte valt två smashade köttpuckar, då den större varianten var alldeles för rund för att burgaren skulle hålla ihop ordentligt. Smakmässigt så tog senapen över tillsammans med deras tjockskurna pickles, som visserligen var goda och passade riktigt bra ihop med den finhackade löken. Det hängmörade köttet, som vi beställt medium enligt deras egen rekommendation, var fint och rosa, men varken saftigt eller särskilt smakrikt. Vår portion med Dirty Fries för 4,5 pund (55 kronor) innehöll sås, sallad och kallt bacon, och var mest en soggig röra. De veganska rökta ”blomkålsvingarna” – lite varm blomkål med vinägrig hotsauce för 5 pund (60 kronor) – var verkligen supertråkiga och en riktig besvikelse.

7Bone Burger Co. lyckas precis nå en godkänd nivå, och vi gillade deras attityd och stämningen inne på restaurangen. Men det finns alldeles för många småproblem som håller dem tillbaka och hindrar dem från att nå upp till samma nivå som sina förebilder.

–

7Bone Burger Co. is a British burger chain with about 10 restaurants in the south of England. The interior design is highly resemblant of MeatLiquor’s punk-rock esthetics and bad lighting, but here it has been scaled back a bit. Their burgers contain dry-aged beef, and customers are given a choice of one 6 oz (170 gram) regular patty or two smashed 3 oz (85 gram) patties.

We ordered a Ronald’s Revenge with a single patty, cheese, minced white onions, ketchup, mustard and pickles for 8.25 GBP (10 USD), and some sides. And just like the name implied, this was a copycat version of the classic McDonald’s cheeseburger. But even here the similarities with MeatLiquor shone through, much thanks to the similar bun – a soft roll that held together surprisingly well. For this we were thankful, since the actual burger had been assembled pretty carelessly.

We quickly regretted not ordering two smashed patties, since the larger variety was oval shaped and made the meal difficult to eat. There large amounts of mustard and thickly sliced pickles took over a bit, but at least the pickles they tasted great with the minced onions. The dry-aged beef was medium cooked after their own recommendation, but was neither juicy nor very flavoursome despite being nice and pink in the middle. Our Dirty Fries for 4,5 GBP (5,5 USD) with dressing, lettuce and cold bacon were a soggy mess, and their vegan cauliflower ”wings” were a real letdown – smoked cauliflower doused in a vinegary hot sauce for 5 GBP (6 USD) felt like a rip-off.

We appreciated the friendly service and the nice atmosphere over at 7Bone Burger Co., and they just manage to meet our expectations. But there were far too many small mistakes holding them back from reaching the same levels as their role models.

Hos oss är det sommar året om! Och du behöver faktiskt ingen grill för att göra en BBQ-burgare. Burgerdudes Summer BBQ Burger kombinerar Sweet Baby Ray’s Original Barbecue Sauce med sallad, tomat och picklad rödlök. Den picklade rödlöken ger både krisp och syra som balanserar den söta och rökiga barbecuesåsen, medan grönsakerna lyfter smakerna. Vi smashar köttet på en stekplatta på grillen, men det går lika bra att göra det i en gjutjärnspanna i köket.

🍔 Burgerdudes Summer BBQ Burger
4 portioner / 30 min

Du behöver:
800 g grovmald högrevsfärs, 20–30 % fetthalt
4 hamburgerbröd, gärna briochebröd
8 skivor hamburgerost
Sweet Baby Ray’s Original Barbecue Sauce
4 salladsblad
4 tomatskivor
1 rödlök
1 dl ättiksprit, 12 %
2 dl strösocker
3 dl vatten Smör
Salt och grovmald svartpeppar

Gör så här:
1.) Pickla rödlöken. Koka upp ättiksprit, socker och vatten och rör tills sockret har löst sig. Låt svalna. Skiva rödlöken tunt och lägg den i lagen i minst 30 minuter.
2.) Dela upp färsen i 8 delar à 100 gram och forma löst till bollar med händerna.
3.) Smält en liten klick smör på stekplattan eller i stekpannan och rosta insidan av bröden. Lägg åt sidan och torka av plattan eller pannan.
4.) Höj till maxvärme, cirka 250 grader. Lägg på köttbollarna och pressa med jämnt tryck till cirka 1 ½ cm tjocklek med ett smashverktyg i cirka 10 sekunder. Salta och peppra generöst.
5.) När små bubblor börjar bildas på köttets yta vänder du köttet med en vass stekspade. Lägg två skivor hamburgerost på varje köttpuck och stek ytterligare cirka 1 minut.
6.) Ringla Sweet Baby Ray’s Original Barbecue Sauce på brödets botten och lock. Lägg ett salladsblad på botten, följt av två köttpuckar. Toppa med en tomatskiva och picklad rödlök. Sätt sedan på locket.

Servera direkt och njut av smaken av sommar! ☀️

🇸🇪 @noahsburgare ★★★★★

We first visited N.O.A.H’s Burgare in Södertälje in 2024, and they’ve been high on our ranking of Sweden’s Best Burgers ever since. Their small white food truck has now been replaced by a much larger container, and the menu featured around ten burgers. We ordered our favourite, the Double Bacon Burger, with two 110-gram beef patties, cheddar, bacon, tomato, burger sauce and BBQ sauce for 138 SEK (14 USD). We also tried their SSK Meal, featuring a Bacon Jam Burger with a 135-gram beef patty, cheddar, bacon jam, pickles and Mac sauce. It cost 185 SEK (19 USD), including fries, a dip and a drink.

The burgers arrived quickly and looked just as inviting as we remembered. The Bacon Burger delivered crispy bacon and deep umami flavours, while the diced tomato worked surprisingly well with the other ingredients, adding both juiciness and a distinct texture. The Bacon Jam Burger had a pronounced sweetness and smokiness that we really enjoyed. The thicker beef patty had a crispy crust and a very juicy centre, and together with the generous amount of bacon jam, the proportions between the beef, toppings and bun were really good. However, the Mac sauce faded into the background and didn’t quite get a chance to shine. Both burgers were generously seasoned with salt and coarsely ground black pepper, and we particularly appreciated how they had adjusted the thickness of the patties to suit the toppings. The flavourful bacon jam worked perfectly with a thicker patty, while the classic Bacon Burger had better proportions with two thinner patties, each with an amazing crust. The fries were well-cooked and almost impossible to stop eating, and the included Mac dip paired really well with them.

N.O.A.H’s Burgare just keeps getting better with every visit, and they continue to impress from their small car park on the outskirts of Södertälje. If you love burgers, they’re definitely worth a detour.

🇺🇸 @familyfriend20671 ★★★★☆

Familyfriend is located in a residential neighbourhood in South Seattle and serves American comfort food and Guamanian fusion cuisine. They’ve been named the home of both Seattle’s best smashburger and corn soup, and the restaurant itself has a cosy interior with a large and airy courtyard. The menu consisted of small plates, medium plates and mains, and we ordered the only burger on the menu. The Da Kids Kewpie Burger came with beef, cheese, onions, pickles and miso and cost 20 USD, including a portion of Truffle Shoestring Fries. We also added an extra beef patty for another 5 USD.

The burger was served on a small plate and looked really cute. The beef was juicy with a crispy crust, but we would’ve appreciated more salt to make the flavours pop. The bun was nice and surprisingly airy, but should’ve been toasted harder on the inside. Ratio-wise, it worked really well with double beef, and we think a single would’ve been too bun-heavy. The diced onions were exceptionally crisp and flavourful without taking over, but they’d also diced the pickles, which made them feel more like relish. So even though the flavour was there, we missed their natural crunch, and the burger felt a little too soft overall. The flavours were simple but tasty, and we liked that they dared to keep the burger this simple. Their truffle fries were thinly cut and fried until crisp. Luckily, they’d only been lightly tossed in a fresh truffle oil, which added umami without taking over. We genuinely couldn’t stop eating them.

Familyfriend is a cosy little neighbourhood restaurant that’s well worth a visit. Come for the burger, but make sure to order several of the medium plates to share as well. We tried everything from tacos and empanadas to the burger and their corn soup – and the latter really did live up to its award.

🇸🇪 Burger House Homemade ★☆☆☆☆

Burger House Homemade is located right by the E18 outside Kristinehamn and is hard to miss from the road. The restaurant is decorated like a colourful American 1950s diner, with a large menu where the burgers come in several sizes. The prices were steep, with a burger containing 120 grams of beef costing 189 SEK (20 USD) and a 200-gram version a whopping 289 SEK (31 USD), meaning an extra 100 SEK (11 USD) for just 80 grams more beef. However, we struggled to find a burger where the ingredients felt thoughtfully put together. In the end, we ordered a Cheeseburger with 200 grams of beef, double cheddar, caramelised onions, tomato, lettuce, pickles and burger sauce. Fries were included, but with a soft drink the final bill came to well over 300 SEK (32 USD).

The burger was sloppily assembled and covered in sauce when it arrived. The two smashed patties, made from Swedish chuck, had a lightly grilled flavour, but they’d been pressed too hard and had a compact, chewy texture. The beef was also oversalted and tasted really dull. In contrast, the burger sauce, onions and, strangely enough, even the pickles were very sweet, and none of the flavours worked particularly well together. The lettuce had been placed underneath the beef, where the heat had turned it translucent and limp. The sesame bun had been coloured yellow with turmeric and grilled hard on the outside in a sandwich press, while the inside was left almost completely untoasted. This made it soggy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The result was a messy burger with poorly handled beef at an outrageously high price. The fries were at least okay and the portion was very filling, but that was the only positive part of the meal.

Burger House Homemade felt more like a trap for hungry motorists than a craft burger place with homemade burgers, and we found nothing that justified the unreasonably high prices. We recommend holding out a little longer and finding something tastier and better value further down the road if you’re craving a burger on your journey.
