Red Dog Saloon

Red Dog Saloon är en mindre kedja med Texas BBQ-restauranger i England, med två restauranger i London och några andra utspritt i landet. Vi besökte deras restaurang i Liverpool, som var inhyst i en mysig gastropub på restauranggatan Bold Street. Och det var där som vi hittade stans bästa burgare. Vi beställde in en The Smash Burger med dubbla löksmashade 85-gramsköttpuckar, benmärgssmörglaze, burgarost och egen sås, samt en The Peanut Butter Burger med en 170-gramsköttpuck, benmärgssmörglaze, äppelrökt bacon, mozzarellaost, jordnötssmörssås och en rostad vitlöksmajonnäs. Under lunchtid kostade burgarna 12,50 GBP (150 kronor) styck, inklusive en stor läsk och ett valfritt tillbehör. Så vi fick även lökringar och deras Mac & Cheese, vilket får anses vara väldigt prisvärt.

Båda våra burgare var riktigt snygga, med ett läckert sesamstrött briochebröd som hade en härligt smörig smak och en glänsande yta. Men det var köttet som var den absoluta stjärnan här; det hade hängmörats i 30 dagar och var perfekt rosa i mitten på vår 170-grammare. De riktigt djupa smakerna från köttet återfanns även i smashburgaren, men den var tyvärr aningen för salt. Deras benmärgssmörsglaze lyfte verkligen smakerna ytterligare, och den himmelska fylligheten gick igen i varje tugga. Vi föredrog osten i vår smashburgare. Mozzarellaosten i vår Peanut Butter Burger var riktigt god, men den hade en lite seg konsistens som störde. Vi uppskattade även de tydliga, starka smakerna i jordnötssmörsburgaren från baconet och såsen. Och det är just såna här tjocka och smakrika restaurangburgare som vi saknar i Sverige. Båda våra tillbehör var dessutom av utmärkt kvalitet, med en intensiv Mac & Cheese och krispiga lökringar. Pommes frites kändes överflödigt i sammanhanget.

Red Dog Saloon serverar en av de bästa burgarna vi har ätit i England, och vi ser redan fram emot ett återbesök.

In English

Red Dog Saloon is a small chain of Texas BBQ restaurants in England, with two locations in London and a few others spread across the country. We visited their Liverpool restaurant, in busy Bold Street. And it was here that we found the best burger in the city. We ordered their The Smash Burger with two onion-smashed 85-gram beef patties, marrow butter glaze, American cheese and burger sauce, plus their The Peanut Butter Burger with a 170-gram beef patty, marrow butter glaze, mozzarella, apple-wood smoked bacon, peanut butter sauce and a roasted garlic mayo. During lunch hours our burgers cost 12.5 GBP (15.5 USD) each, including a large soft drink and a side-order. So we also got onion rings and some Mac & Cheese, which was a really good deal.

Both our burgers looked great, with a beautiful sesame seed covered brioche bun with a buttery taste and a nice sheen. But it was the meat that really stood out; dry-aged for 30 days and perfectly pink in our 170-gram burger. The smash burger had the same deep, beefy flavours, but we found it slightly too salty. Their marrow butter glaze really highlighted the meaty flavours in every bite as well. We preferred the American cheese in our smash burger, as the mozzarella in the Peanut Butter burger was a bit chewy, but this wasn’t a big issue seeing as it still tasted really good. And we appreciated the other bold flavours in that burger, especially the bacon and the burger sauce. This is the kind of gourmet restaurant burgers that we really miss in Sweden. Both of our sides were excellent as well, with an intensive Mac & Cheese and crispy onion rings. We didn’t miss french fries for a second.

Red Dog Saloon serve one of the best burgers we’ve eaten in England, and we can’t wait to visit them again soon.

🇸🇪 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.

🇸🇪 @rollinbistrosbackyard ★★★★☆

Rollin Bistros started out as a food truck in 2014 and opened their Backyard in Gamlestaden, Gothenburg, in 2020, which we visited shortly afterwards. Since 2024, they’ve also served our favourite burger in Gothenburg. One thing that’s consistent at Rollin Bistros is the craftsmanship, which was evident in both the food and the huge yet intimate venue. During our latest visit, we ordered two burgers: a double Classic Cheese with two smashed patties, cheddar, white onions, dill pickles and burger sauce for 220 SEK (22 USD), as well as the bistro-style Home Run with just one thick beef patty and cheese for 195 SEK (19.5 USD). We also ordered a portion of teriyaki onion rings for 95 SEK (9.5 USD).

It’s always a bold move to serve a burger with just beef, bun and cheese, but the Home Run really let the ingredients shine. The thick beef patty was juicy, with a slightly pink centre and a nice crust. It tasted really good in all its simplicity, although the meat had been salted a little too heavily. The bun from a local bakery was airy, held together well and had a buttery richness that we appreciated. The smashed cheeseburger also had tasty beef, and although it was naturally more well-done, it was still juicy. The cheese was creamy, the onions added a nice texture and the burger sauce was like a more grown-up and mature version of a classic burger sauce. The problem here was their pickles, which were a bit floppy since they were made with regular cucumbers, with a sharp flavour that reminded us more of a Swedish crayfish party than a burger. As always, the star of the menu was their sides, something they’ve never failed at. The onion rings were crispy and served with an addictive teriyaki ripple and an equally fantastic MSG mayo. The soft serve ice-cream also impressed, with interesting toppings such as foie gras and caramel sauce for 115 SEK (11.5 USD) as well as yuzu, toasted sesame seeds and crispy meringues for 75 SEK (7.5 USD).

Rollin Bistros keep flying the flag high on Gothenburg’s burger scene, and we also recommend a visit to Gamlestaden for the sides, desserts and service.
