När Chuck Burger öppnade i centrala Eksjö under 2021 blev de stadens och närområdets första riktiga restaurang som serverade hantverksburgare. Vi besökte dem första gången under hösten 2022 och blev riktigt imponerade, och sedan dess har de även skaffat sig en mindre armada av foodtrucks – tre stycken – som åker till närliggande städer och säljer burgare. Under vårt senaste besök på restaurangen beställde vi deras burgare ”Rostiga”, med en 150-gramsköttpuck, ost, tomat, pickles, rostad lök och dressing. Under lunchen kostade den 125 kronor, inklusive pommes frites och en läsk.

Burgaren såg aningen annorlunda ut jämfört med vårt förra besök. Proportionerna på vår singelburgare var riktigt fina och välbalanserade. De hade bytt bröd denna gång, men trots att det var mjukt och låg bra i handen så kändes det lite svampigt och blev ganska snabbt tillplattat. Vi uppskattade att köttet hade kryddats rejält med salt och peppar, men själva köttsmaken var ganska anonym och stekytan borde ha varit frasigare. Köttet var också lite mer kompakt den här gången, vilket tyvärr var något av en besvikelse. Den rostade löken var soggigt innan första tuggan, och tillförde därför inget tillfredställande krisp. Deras pickles var numera längdskivade och söta, och vi hade föredragit mer syra för att skapa en bättre balans med den redan söta burgardressingen. Däremot var pommes frites riktigt bra – en generös portion som var härligt krispig och välsmakande.

Det känns som att Chuck Burger satsning på foodtruck-verksamheten märks på burgarna i restaurangen, som inte kändes lika välbalanserade denna gång. Med det sagt serverar Chuck Burger fortfarande en bra burgare till ett sympatiskt pris, så om du befinner dig i Eksjö eller i någon av de närliggande städerna där deras foodtrucks rullar så är de fortfarande väl värda ett besök.

In English

When Chuck Burger opened in central Eksjö in 2021, they became the first restaurant in the city and surrounding area to serve craft burgers. We visited them for the first time in the autumn of 2022 and were really impressed, and since then they have also acquired a small armada of food trucks – three of them – that go to nearby cities to sell our burgers. During our latest visit to the restaurant, we ordered their ”Rostiga” burger, with a 150-gram patty, cheese, tomato, pickles, roasted onions and burger sauce. During lunch, it cost 125 SEK (11.5 USD), including fries and a soft drink.

Our burger looked slightly different compared to our last visit, but the ratios in our single burger were really nice and well balanced.
They had changed the bun, but despite being soft and fitting well in our hands, it felt a bit spongy and got flattened quite quickly. We appreciated that the patties had been seasoned generously with salt and pepper, but the flavour of the beef was rather anonymous and the crust should have been crispier. The meat was also a little more compact this time, which was a disappointment. The roasted onions was soggy before the first bite, and therefore added no satisfying crunch. Also, their pickles were sliced lengthwise and sweet, and we would have preferred more acidity to create a nicer balance with the back sweet burger sauce. However, the fries were really good – a generous portion that was wonderfully crispy and tasty.

It feels like Chuck Burger’s expansion into the food truck business has affected the burgers in the restaurant, which didn’t feel as well balanced this time around. Having said that, Chuck Burger still serve a nice burger at a sympathetic price-point, so they are still well worth a visit if you find yourself in Eksjö or in any of the nearby cities where their food trucks are rolling.

16 november 2022, Chuck Burger

Ingen träsmak här inte.

Chuck Burger öppnade i centrala Eksjö under 2021, och blev därmed den första restaurangen i staden som serverade hantverksburgare. Menyn bestod av tiotalet burgare som kostade mellan 118 och 125 kronor styck för en 150-gramsköttpuck, samt ett vegetariskt och ett veganskt alternativ. Vi beställde in en ”Rostiga” med ost, pickles, rostad lök och dressing. Vi lade till en köttpuck för 50 kronor och bacon för 15 kronor samt beställde både pommes frites och sötpotatispommesfrites för 30 respektive 55 kronor.

Vår burgare var en mäktig skapelse som verkligen såg inbjudande ut. Stjärnan var utan tvekan det saftiga köttet som hade en genuint fin stekyta och ordentlig kryddning som verkligen lyfte smakerna. Det mjuka brödet från Eksjö-institutionen Lennarts Konditori var väldigt följsamt, men kunde ha rostats lite hårdare för att kunna stå emot köttsafterna och dressingen mer effektivt. Själva dressingen var dessutom lite för söt, och kom inte riktigt till sin rätt. Vi hade gärna sett att baconet hade stekts lite hårdare så att det blev mer krispigt, då vi faktiskt betalade extra för det. Men överlag så var detta en riktigt god och mättande burgare. Pommes fritesen var av hög kvalitet med en schysst krispighet och god smak, även sötpotatispommesfritesen var riktigt smakrika och krispiga, och vi kände oss nöjda trots det ganska saftiga priset.

Burgarna och tillbehören på Chuck Burger är kanske aningen dyra, särskilt om du beställer ytterligare en köttpuck, men det här var ändå en högkvalitativ burgare. Eksjö erbjuder numera inte bara en unik trästad, utan även ett riktigt bra burgarhak.

Chuck Burger opened in central Eksjö in 2021, becoming the first restaurant in town serving craft burgers. Their menu consists of around 10 burgers costing between 118 and 125 SEK (11–12 USD) for a 150-gram patty burger, and they also had one vegetarian and one vegan option. We ordered a ”Rostiga” with cheese, pickles, roasted onions and burger sauce, and added an extra patty for 50 SEK (4.5 USD) and bacon for 15 SEK (1.5 USD). We also ordered french fries for 30 SEK (3 USD) and sweet potato fries for 55 SEK (5 USD).

Our burger was pretty massive and looked really inviting. The juicy meat was the star here, well-seasoned with an excellent crust that made the flavours pop. The soft bun from the local Eksjö favourite Lennarts Konditori was soft and squishy, but could have been a bit more toasted to handle the beef juices and the burger sauce better. The sauce itself was pretty sweet as well, and didn’t really shine. We would have preferred if the bacon had been cooked a bit more to make it crispy, especially seeing as we paid extra for it. But overall this was a very tasty and filling hamburger. The high quality french fries were crispy and tasty, and we also enjoyed the sweet potato fries despite their high price.

Chuck Burger’s hamburgers and sides are rather expensive, especially if you opt for double patties, but the quality was really high. So now Eksjö can offer more than just a cool wooden city, but also a really good burger as well.

🇦🇪 @she_burger ★★★★☆

She Burger is a restaurant chain with several locations in Dubai and around the Middle East, and they participated in the Dubai Burger Championship 2026. The burger they served at the festival was the same name as the restaurant, She Burger, and it consisted of two smashed beef patties, roasted onions, veal bacon jam with a lot of coffee, and their signature sauce for 60 AED (16.5 USD).

We immediately felt that the burger had a very international appearance when we saw it, and it offered a well-shaped brioche bun, plenty of toppings, double meat patties. The bun was soft and had a good size, but the heel would have been able to handle the beef juices better if they’d let the patties rest before assembly. The Black Angus meat had a strong meat flavour with a robust seasoning, but we felt that the crust should have been more pronounced and that the meat could have been even juicier. The fried onion was texturally brilliant, and it added both flavour and a lovely crunch that the burger really needed. The veal bacon jam was incredibly good and had a much more mature taste than we are normally used to. It was very coffee heavy, which we really appreciated. On the other hand, the signature sauce was completely anonymous and didn’t make any real impression.

She Burger do a lot right with this burger, but they need to refine the details and the meat to really make it a winner. But that being said, they offer one of the better burgers in Dubai.

🇸🇪 @thellas_foodtruck ★★★★☆

Thellas is a food truck in Gävle that we’ve heard a lot of positive things about since they opened in 2024. The menu at the time of our visit consisted of four beef burgers and a vegetarian option. We chose the classic ”Thellas Cheese” cheeseburger with double burger cheese, silver onions, dill pickles, ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise. A single patty burger cost 115 SEK (12.5 USD), but we ordered a double 120-gram patty burger with for 145 SEK (15.5 USD) and also added 30 SEK (3 USD) for french fries and 15 SEK (1.5 USD) for a chili mayo.

There was a long line of people waiting for their food, and when the burger was served we were greeted by a well-composed and inviting cheeseburger. The first bite was incredibly flavourful and juicy, with a very clear crust on the patties. The beef was well-seasoned with a generous amount of coarsely ground black pepper. And the creamy cheese was delicious and nicely melted over the beef. Unfortunately, the bun was a bit of a disappointment, because despite looking good, it had been toasted for too long on the grill and lacked the fluffy texture we expect from a brioche bun. Their own-pickled cucumber was delicious and added both acidity and crunch, and we would have liked to see more of it so that it was spread over the entire burger. All the sauces did their job without standing out and were also in the right amount, without any one of them overpowering the others. We also liked the generous portion of crispy french fries, and the smoky chilli mayo was tasty – although it could have been a bit spicier.

Thellas undoubtedly serve one of the better burgers we’ve eaten in Gävle, and the service from the guys in the food truck was excellent as well. We definitely recommend keeping an eye on their schedule and visiting them if you’re in the area.
