Burgarkedjan Archie’s öppnade sin första restaurang i Manchester under 2010, och har numera cirka tio ställen runt om i England. Inredningen och konceptet går i rosa, med en inredningsestetik som känns som gjord för att fotograferas och läggas upp på sociala medier. Vi beställde en Royale with Cheese för 8 GBP (100 kronor), med två smashade köttpuckar, ost, pickles, tomat, sallad, lök och burgarsås i ett sesamtäckt briochebröd. Till detta beställde vi även deras crincle fries för 2,25 GBP (25 kronor) och en Billionaire Milkshake för 5 GBP (60 kronor).

Vår burgare serverades hårt packad i rosa aluminiumfolie, och allt såg rätt snyggt ut innan vi packat upp den. Men när vi försiktigt tagit av folien så dolde sig en riktigt ful och hoptryckt skapelse. Tur var väl då att smakerna var riktigt bra. Köttet var smakrikt och välkryddat, med en rejält tilltagen stekyta. Det var dock lite kompakt och aningen torrt. Salladen var krispig och tillförde en del fräschör och burgarsåsen hade en fin syra. Men den tråkiga och plastiga osten var väldigt trist, och hade inte smält ordentligt heller. Deras milkshakes var däremot helt fenomenala. Supertjocka, dekadenta och riktigt goda. Och deras räfflade pommes frites var rejält tilltagna och ordentligt kryddade.

Vi gillade mycket som Archie’s hade att erbjuda, men med tanke på att deras koncept verkar rikta sig mot tonåringar så kändes det ganska synd att de inte erbjöd någon meny, då vår måltid kostade runt 200 kronor totalt. Det kostade helt enkelt lite mer än det smakade. Men milkshakesen testar vi definitivt igen nästa gång vi är i närheten.

In English

The burger chain Archie’s opened their first restaurant in Manchester in 2010, and now operate almost 10 places in several English cities. Their interiors and palette is pink, and their aesthetics lend themselves perfectly for today’s social media. We ordered a Royale with Cheese for 8 GBP (10 USD), with two smashed patties, cheese, pickles, tomato, lettuce, onions and their burger sauce in a sesame covered brioche bun. We also ordered their crincle fries for 2.25 GBP (2.5 USD) and a Billionaire Milkshake for 5 GBP (6 USD).

Our burger came tightly wrapped in pink aluminium wrapper, and our meal looked pretty nice until we unwrapped it. Because when we’d carefully removed the wrapper we were left with a squashed and sad looking burger. Thankfully the flavours were all there. The beef was tasty and properly seasoned, with a great crust. But it was a bit compact and a bit dry in the middle too. The lettuce was crispy and gave the burger some freshness and the burger sauce was nice and tangy, but their cheese was really cheap and hadn’t melted properly either. The biggest upside was their milkshakes; really thick, amazingly decadent and super tasty. Their crincle cut fries were thick and properly seasoned, and tasted really nice too.

We liked a lot of things that Archie’s had to offer, but seeing as their concept seems to be aimed at teenagers we felt that the price was far too high for what we got, and we would have liked some kind of meal deal considering that our meal cost over 15 GBP (almost 20 USD). But we’ll be coming back for the milkshakes next time we’re in the area, that’s for sure!

🇸🇪 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.

🍔 Review № 1407

🇸🇪 @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.
