Dunkin’ Burgers

Manchester Arndale är ett gigantiskt köpcenter i centrala Manchester. Utöver shoppingen så finns här ett flertal restauranger, däribland Dunkin’ Burgers som fokuserar på streetfood-burgare som serveras med en skål gravy – en engelsk skysås som man förväntas doppa sin burgare i, På menyn finns en handfull av olika burgare och efter en stunds funderande så valde vi att testa The Threesome som innehöll tre köttpuckar, trippelt med bacon, tre skivor ost samt sallad, lök, tomat, ketchup och majonnäs för 8,5 GBP (105 kronor).

Burgaren serverades i en liten låda och såg otroligt inbjudande ut. Trots trippla köttpuckar kändes den ändå proportionerlig, även om den var relativt högt byggd. Dessutom tyckte vi att det var ganska prisvärt för den stora mängden mat vi fick. Baconet var riktigt bra stekt och brödet var gott med en gyllene yta och sesamfrön på toppen – även om det hade mått bättre av att rostas lite mer före montering. Men ungefär där tog det roliga slut. Köttet var väldigt kompakt och torrt, och utan den tillhörande skysåsen så smakade den ganska menlöst. Burgaren var helt anpassad till gravyn och förlitade sig på att den skulle göra burgaren saftig och smakrik. Men samtidigt försvann alla andra smaker i samband med att vi doppade burgaren, och därför blev de andra ingredienserna utöver kött och bröd ganska överflödiga.

I slutändan blev konceptet med gravyn mer av en gimmick än någon smaksensation, och med tanke på den allt hårdnande konkurrensen i Manchester så hade vi hellre sett att Dunkin’ Burgers fokuserade på kvalitetsingredienser istället.

In English

Manchester Arndale is a huge shopping centre in central Manchester. In addition to all the shops, they also house a large amount of restaurants in the Ardale Market food court, including Dunkin’ Burgers who focus on street food burgers that come served with a bowl of gravy, in which you’re supposed to dip your burger. Their menu contains a handful of different hamburgers, and after some deliberation we opted for a ”The Threesome”, with three beef patties, triple bacon and three slices of cheese plus lettuce, onions, tomato, ketchup and mayo for 8.5 GBP (11 USD).

Our burger came in a small box and looked really inviting. And despite being quite tall due to the triple beef patties, the beef-to-bun ratio was perfectly acceptable. And the price-point was rather good as well, seeing as we got a very large burger. The bacon was excellently cooked and the sesame bun was nice and golden, albeit a bit too lightly toasted for our taste. But that’s where the positives end really. The meat was very dry and compact, and without the accompanying gravy it didn’t really taste of much at all. It felt like the entire meal relied upon the gravy to make the burger juicy and tasty. And the gravy itself was great, but it also took over all of the other flavours, making the everything beyond the beef and bun superfluous.

At the end of the day, their gravy concept turned out to be more of a gimmick than a taste sensation. And considering Manchester’s increasingly tough competition we would have preferred to see Dunkin’ Burgers focus more on high quality ingredients instead.

🇸🇪 Mother of Wagon ★★★★☆

Mother of Wagon opened by Arboga’s train station in the summer of 2026, and is actually run by the mother of the owner of The Wagon Burgers & Brews in Stockholm. Besides the clever name, they also offered four burgers, all of which could be made vegetarian. We ordered a Cheeseburger with two 100-gram mustard-smashed beef patties, cheddar, onions, pickles, ketchup and dressing in a brioche bun. It cost 130 SEK (14 USD), and we also added fries for 30 SEK (3 USD).

The burger looked really good when it arrived, even if it had been assembled somewhat hastily with a lot of sauce. The flavours worked well, but all that sauce made it a little difficult to eat as the patties kept sliding around. The beef from a local farm in Örebro was generously seasoned and had plenty of flavour. However, it had been slightly overworked and was a bit too compact, and we would’ve preferred a more airy texture. The cheese had melted nicely over the patties, and we also appreciated that the fluffy bun had been nicely toasted on the inside, helping it hold together throughout the meal. We liked the finely chopped onions, while the pickles were crunchy, if slightly sweet. Although the mustard smash added plenty of flavour to the beef, we would’ve appreciated the acidity of American yellow mustard instead of the fairly sweet burger sauce. The fries came in a very generous portion and were thick and well-cooked, but slightly too heavily salted.

Mother of Wagon has managed to build a really solid foundation in just a few months, and the friendly staff also contributed to the experience. We’re really happy that it’s now possible to get a good burger in central Arboga.
