Burgershack har stängt sin verksamhet.

Uppdatering: Burgershack har för närvarande stängt.

Burgardetektiven Burgerac (eller Gavin Lucas som han faktiskt heter) är lite av en legend inom Londons hamburgarscen. Han har recenserat burgare i Englands huvudstad i flera år på sin blogg, och hans omdömen har varit väldigt användbara under våra många resor till England. Nu har han inlett ett samarbete med puben The Royal Oak i Marylebone, där hans egendesignade burgare står på menyn.

Valet stod mellan en klassisk cheeseburgare och en lite mer anspråksfull variant med cheddar, bacon och briochebröd. Det blev den sistnämnda Burgershack-burgaren, och den var snudd på fantastisk. Briochebrödet var utmärkt rostat och höll ihop väl. Även köttet var av hög kvalitet, men det var stekt aningen för hårt och var lite bränt på utsidan. Samma sak gällde för baconet, som egentligen var lite för knaprigt för att passa in rent smakmässigt. En vällagrad cheddarost är ju något av det godaste som finns, men denna variant från Keen’s var något övermäktig och tog lite för mycket utrymme.

Det är såklart en smaksak vad man gillar, men det är dessa småsaker som gör att Burgershack inte når ända fram till fullpoängaren. Fast det är ruskigt nära, och Burgeracs gästspel är en av höjdpunkterna i Europas främsta burgarstad.

In English

After years of burger hunting in London, the prolific Burgerac has combined forces with The Royal Oak in Marylebone and opened Burgershack. ”The Posh One”, with Keen’s cheddar, smoked bacon, chipotle sauce and a brioche bun was excellent, even though the patty and bacon were a bit too well-done and crispy. The cheddar was too sharp as well, and its potency overwhelmed our tastebuds somewhat. But overall we were really impressed, and we will definitely come back for another burger as soon as we can.

🇸🇪 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.
