Windburger är en minikedja med två restauranger i Berlin som lockar besökare med prisvärda hamburgare och en kaxig marknadsföring fylld med populärkulturella referenser. Menyn består av sex köttburgare prissatta mellan 4–7,5 EUR (40–80 kronor) samt flera vegetariska alternativ. Vi besökte deras nyare restaurang i närheten av Görlitzer Park, och beställde in en dubbel cheeseburgare för med ost, lök, sallad, saltgurka, ketchup och majonnäs för 6,5 EUR (70 kronor).

Vår burgare serverades i en händig pappersficka, och det första vi lade märke till var dock det gigantiska brioche-liknande brödet som kändes för stort även för vår burgare med två köttpuckar. Det var dessutom även absurt mjukt, och försvann i princip helt och hållet när väl tog vår första tugga. Överlag var de andra ingredienserna godkända; köttets kvalitet var helt okej även om det hade en ganska stum konsistens. Stekytan var i alla fall rejält tilltagen och kryddningen var också till vår belåtenhet. Den strimlade salladen och löken gav burgaren en fin touch av fräschhet vilket verkligen behövdes med tanke på mängden ketchup och majonnäs. Det mjuka brödet kunde tyvärr  inte motstå mängden sås, och kapitulerade och föll isär framåt slutet av måltiden.

Windburger serverar absolut inga perfekt burgare, faktiskt långt därifrån. Men den otroliga prisvärda prissättningen tillsammans med de stilrena lokalerna och fräscha ingredienser gör att de får ett godkänt betyg av oss. Om du är i närheten och behöver ta en snabb burgare i farten är detta absolut ett alternativ för att stilla hungern utan att spräcka budgeten.

In English

Windburger is a small chain with two restaurants in Berlin who attract customers with their cheap burgers and cocky marketing ram-packed with pop culture references. Their menu consists of six beef burgers costing between 4–7.5 EUR (4.5–8 USD) plus several vegetarian alternatives. We visited their newer restaurant close to Görlitzer Park, and ordered a double cheeseburger with cheese, onions, lettuce, pickles, ketchup and mayo for 6.5 EUR (7 USD).

Our burger came served in a practical paper wrapper, and the first thing we noticed was the huge brioche bun that felt far too big even for our double-patty burger. It was also incredibly soft, and almost vanished when we took our first bite. Overall, the other ingredients were fine; the beef’s quality was alright even though it was a bit dense. The crust and seasoning was acceptable too, and we liked the freshness from the shredded lettuce and onions. This freshness was much needed, considering the large amounts of ketchup and mayo, which overpowered the bun towards the end of our meal, making everything fall apart.

Windburger’s burgers are far from perfect, but the super-attractive price-point and their cool interiors and fresh ingredients go a long way. If you’re nearby one of their restaurants you’ll at least get a decent and filling burger that won’t break the bank.

🇸🇪 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.
