Barley’s Food Factory öppnade sommaren 2015 på Hisingen i Göteborg. Enligt deras webbplats serverar de en av Sveriges bästa gourmetburgare, och vi ville såklart se om vi höll med. Den stora mörka lokalen var fylld av grafitti och andades lika delar rockklubb som ungdomsgård, och de hade även en rymlig uteservering. På menyn hittade vi fem olika köttburgare, och vi beställde en Cheeseburger med cheddar, mozzarella, picklad rödlök, sallad och senapsmajonnäs för 123 kronor samt en Bacon Burger med cheddar, bacon, picklad rödlök, sallad och baconmajonnäs för 133 kronor. Vi beställde även en pommes frites för 39 kronor.

Den väldigt trevliga ägaren kom ut till oss med såväl popcorn som egentillverkad chilisås, samt två hamburgare som såg ut att vara hämtade från 2015. Allt från de förformade köttpuckarna och den neonrosa löken till brödets hårda skorpa och semolinatäckta häl signalerade att det inte hänt något med menyn på ett bra tag. Vår Cheeseburger visade sig lyckligtvis ha bra kött, med en fluffig textur och en lagom tydlig sälta. Cheddarosten var välsmält och krämig, men mozzarellan kändes överflödig. Senapsmajonnäsen var lite väl försiktig, så den rosa löken med sin tydliga sötma tillförde både behövd smakbrytning och textur. Tyvärr var köttet på vår Bacon Burger för hårt stekt med en torrare och mer kompakt textur. Baconet hade en tydlig rökighet och behaglig sälta, men även det var ganska hårt. Och vi tyckte att baconmajonnäsen var för försiktig i smaken. Våra pommes frites var lyckligtvis välfriterade och riktigt goda.

Vår upplevelse på Barley’s Food Factory var ojämn, och detta gällde ju även hur köttet tillagats. Vi gillade personalen och tyckte att collabsen de kör med lokala bryggerier var roliga, men det krävs lite mer moderna burgare än såhär om de vill vara bäst.

In English

Barley’s Food Factory opened in the summer of 2015 in Hisingen, Gothenburg. According to their website, they serve one of Sweden’s best gourmet burgers, so of course we wanted to see if we agreed. The large, dark venue was filled with graffiti and exuded equal parts rock club and youth centre, and they also had a spacious outdoor seating area. On the menu we found five different meat burgers, and we ordered a Cheeseburger with cheddar, mozzarella, pickled red onions, lettuce and a mustard mayo for 123 SEK (12 USD) and a Bacon Burger with cheddar, bacon, pickled red onions, lettuce and bacon mayo for 133 SEK (13 USD). We also ordered french fries for 39 SEK (4 USD).

The very pleasant owner came out to us with both popcorn and their homemade chilli sauce, as well as two burgers that looked like they were brought in from 2015. Everything from the pre-shaped patties and neon pink onions to the hard crust and semolina-covered heel of the bun signalled that the menu hadn’t changed in a while. Fortunately, our Cheeseburger turned out to have good meat, with a fluffy texture and well-balanced seasoning. The cheddar cheese was nicely melted, but the mozzarella felt superfluous. The mustard mayo was a little too mild, so the pink onions’ distinct sweetness added some much-needed flavour and texture. Unfortunately, the meat on our Bacon Burger was overcooked and was drier and more compact. The bacon had a distinct smokiness and pleasant saltiness, but it was also quite tough. And we found the bacon mayo to be too mild. Fortunately, our fries were well-cooked and really tasty.

Our experience at Barley’s Food Factory was uneven, especially seeing as the meat had been cooked unevenly too. We liked the staff and thought the collabs they run with local breweries were fun, but they need a bit more modern burgers than this if they want to be the best.

🇸🇪 @burgerdevilofficial_ ★★★★☆

Burger Devil is located in Bäckby on the outskirts of Västerås, and when we first visited them in 2023 after several recommendations, we were pleasantly surprised by the high quality. During our return visit, we noticed that the restaurant had a thoughtfully designed interior, with almost every little detail featuring their branding. This time, we ordered a Cheese with two 120-gram beef patties, cheddar, red onions, pickles, yellow mustard, ketchup and mayo, as well as a Habanero Cheese with the same amount of beef, cheddar, habanero cheese, white onions, fresh chilli and béarnaise sauce. Both double burgers cost 189 SEK (19 USD) each as meals, including fries and a soft drink.

The burgers were nicely presented in paper sleeves and well assembled, with a good patty to bun ratio – even though our Habanero Cheese was a bit overloaded with toppings. The buns held everything together well, with a soft exterior and a nicely toasted interior. The beef was heavily smashed with a nice crust and generous seasoning that gave it a rich and robust flavour. However, we would have liked more heat from the Habanero Cheese, especially considering its name. And while we appreciated the idea of adding béarnaise sauce, the flavours became somewhat monotonous towards the end, and we would have liked something fresh to break things up. The fried habanero and cheese balls added a really nice contrast in texture, though, and overall it was a very enjoyable burger. The cheeseburger was also good at its core, but the flavours were slightly too sweet. We would have really appreciated some tangy dill pickles here to create a better balance. The fries were well-fried and nicely salted, but the dips we ordered could have had a bit more flavour.

Burger Devil has a well-developed concept, and they continue to serve filling and well-made burgers at very reasonable prices. Despite a few minor flaws, that still goes a long way.

Hos oss är det sommar året om! Och du behöver faktiskt ingen grill för att göra en BBQ-burgare. Burgerdudes Summer BBQ Burger kombinerar Sweet Baby Ray’s Original Barbecue Sauce med sallad, tomat och picklad rödlök. Den picklade rödlöken ger både krisp och syra som balanserar den söta och rökiga barbecuesåsen, medan grönsakerna lyfter smakerna. Vi smashar köttet på en stekplatta på grillen, men det går lika bra att göra det i en gjutjärnspanna i köket.

🍔 Burgerdudes Summer BBQ Burger
4 portioner / 30 min

Du behöver:
800 g grovmald högrevsfärs, 20–30 % fetthalt
4 hamburgerbröd, gärna briochebröd
8 skivor hamburgerost
Sweet Baby Ray’s Original Barbecue Sauce
4 salladsblad
4 tomatskivor
1 rödlök
1 dl ättiksprit, 12 %
2 dl strösocker
3 dl vatten Smör
Salt och grovmald svartpeppar

Gör så här:
1.) Pickla rödlöken. Koka upp ättiksprit, socker och vatten och rör tills sockret har löst sig. Låt svalna. Skiva rödlöken tunt och lägg den i lagen i minst 30 minuter.
2.) Dela upp färsen i 8 delar à 100 gram och forma löst till bollar med händerna.
3.) Smält en liten klick smör på stekplattan eller i stekpannan och rosta insidan av bröden. Lägg åt sidan och torka av plattan eller pannan.
4.) Höj till maxvärme, cirka 250 grader. Lägg på köttbollarna och pressa med jämnt tryck till cirka 1 ½ cm tjocklek med ett smashverktyg i cirka 10 sekunder. Salta och peppra generöst.
5.) När små bubblor börjar bildas på köttets yta vänder du köttet med en vass stekspade. Lägg två skivor hamburgerost på varje köttpuck och stek ytterligare cirka 1 minut.
6.) Ringla Sweet Baby Ray’s Original Barbecue Sauce på brödets botten och lock. Lägg ett salladsblad på botten, följt av två köttpuckar. Toppa med en tomatskiva och picklad rödlök. Sätt sedan på locket.

Servera direkt och njut av smaken av sommar! ☀️

🇸🇪 @noahsburgare ★★★★★

We first visited N.O.A.H’s Burgare in Södertälje in 2024, and they’ve been high on our ranking of Sweden’s Best Burgers ever since. Their small white food truck has now been replaced by a much larger container, and the menu featured around ten burgers. We ordered our favourite, the Double Bacon Burger, with two 110-gram beef patties, cheddar, bacon, tomato, burger sauce and BBQ sauce for 138 SEK (14 USD). We also tried their SSK Meal, featuring a Bacon Jam Burger with a 135-gram beef patty, cheddar, bacon jam, pickles and Mac sauce. It cost 185 SEK (19 USD), including fries, a dip and a drink.

The burgers arrived quickly and looked just as inviting as we remembered. The Bacon Burger delivered crispy bacon and deep umami flavours, while the diced tomato worked surprisingly well with the other ingredients, adding both juiciness and a distinct texture. The Bacon Jam Burger had a pronounced sweetness and smokiness that we really enjoyed. The thicker beef patty had a crispy crust and a very juicy centre, and together with the generous amount of bacon jam, the proportions between the beef, toppings and bun were really good. However, the Mac sauce faded into the background and didn’t quite get a chance to shine. Both burgers were generously seasoned with salt and coarsely ground black pepper, and we particularly appreciated how they had adjusted the thickness of the patties to suit the toppings. The flavourful bacon jam worked perfectly with a thicker patty, while the classic Bacon Burger had better proportions with two thinner patties, each with an amazing crust. The fries were well-cooked and almost impossible to stop eating, and the included Mac dip paired really well with them.

N.O.A.H’s Burgare just keeps getting better with every visit, and they continue to impress from their small car park on the outskirts of Södertälje. If you love burgers, they’re definitely worth a detour.

🇺🇸 @familyfriend20671 ★★★★☆

Familyfriend is located in a residential neighbourhood in South Seattle and serves American comfort food and Guamanian fusion cuisine. They’ve been named the home of both Seattle’s best smashburger and corn soup, and the restaurant itself has a cosy interior with a large and airy courtyard. The menu consisted of small plates, medium plates and mains, and we ordered the only burger on the menu. The Da Kids Kewpie Burger came with beef, cheese, onions, pickles and miso and cost 20 USD, including a portion of Truffle Shoestring Fries. We also added an extra beef patty for another 5 USD.

The burger was served on a small plate and looked really cute. The beef was juicy with a crispy crust, but we would’ve appreciated more salt to make the flavours pop. The bun was nice and surprisingly airy, but should’ve been toasted harder on the inside. Ratio-wise, it worked really well with double beef, and we think a single would’ve been too bun-heavy. The diced onions were exceptionally crisp and flavourful without taking over, but they’d also diced the pickles, which made them feel more like relish. So even though the flavour was there, we missed their natural crunch, and the burger felt a little too soft overall. The flavours were simple but tasty, and we liked that they dared to keep the burger this simple. Their truffle fries were thinly cut and fried until crisp. Luckily, they’d only been lightly tossed in a fresh truffle oil, which added umami without taking over. We genuinely couldn’t stop eating them.

Familyfriend is a cosy little neighbourhood restaurant that’s well worth a visit. Come for the burger, but make sure to order several of the medium plates to share as well. We tried everything from tacos and empanadas to the burger and their corn soup – and the latter really did live up to its award.
