The Burger

The Burger ligger på Andra Långgatan i centrala Göteborg, och där har de serverat hamburgare sedan 2016. Lokalen såg fräsch och påkostad ut utan att sticka ut nämnvärt. Det kändes mer som en vanlig restaurang än ett renodlat burgarhak. Burgarmenyn var relativt kort med fem köttburgare och ett vegetariskt alternativ. Men menyn var inte klassisk för det, utan varje burgare representerade ett område i världen som är känd för sin mat – och listan på toppings ringlade sig lång. Vi ville hålla det så enkelt som möjligt och beställde in deras California med cheddar, bacon, grönsallad, tomat, rödlök och klassisk dressing. En enkel burgare kostade 109 kronor, men vi dubblade vår för 30 kronor extra. Vi beställde även en mix av friterad sötpotatis vanlig pommes frites för 35 kronor.

Vår hamburgare såg ut som hämtad från tiden precis när hantverksburgare blev ett begrepp. Trots att vi hade valt deras absolut enklaste burgare så var den rejält hög, och den rejäla pinnen som genomborrade burgaren behövdes faktiskt för att hålla ihop konstruktionen. Undersidan på hälbrödet hade en rejäl stekyta, men resten av brödet var betydligt försiktigare uppvärmt. De förformade och tjocka köttpuckarna såg trista ut, men visade sig vara burgarens starka sida. Köttet var saftigt med en tydlig sälta som framhävde köttsmaken ordentligt. Baconet hade tydlig sälta och rökighet, men var ganska mjukt i konsistensen. Grönsakerna kändes fräscha och dressingen hade en sötma som här faktiskt fungerade bra med övriga komponenter. Våra mixade pommes frites var överfriterade och därmed för hårda och knapriga för sitt eget bästa.

Med sitt goda kött och ganska intressanta toppings skulle The Burger kunna leverera något bra, men utförandet är för ojämnt och det saknas finess i arbetet. Tyvärr så kändes de mer som en destination för hungriga turister än ett burgarhak i framkant.

The Burger are located on the street Andra Långgatan in central Gothenburg, where they’ve served hamburgers since 2016. The place itself looked nice and clean, but the interiors didn’t stand out and it felt just like a regular restaurant. Their short burger menu consisted of five beef burgers and a vegetarian option, but this didn’t mean that the offerings were classic. Instead, each hamburger represented places all over the world know for their cuisine, and the list of toppings was extensive. We tried to keep it as simple as possible and ordered a California Burger with cheddar, bacon, lettuce, tomato, red onions and a classic burger sauce. A single-patty burger cost 109 SEK (10.5), but we doubled up for an additional 30 SEK (3 USD). We also ordered a mix of regular and sweet potato fries for 35 SEK (3.5 USD).

Our burger looked like it came from the time when craft burgers first burst into the scene. And despite us choosing their simplest hamburger it was towering, and the sturdy skewer was actually necessary to keep everything in place. The bottom om the heel bun was nicely toasted, but the rest hadn’t been heated as well. The pre-formed and rather thick patties looked uninspiring, but turned out to be the best part about our hamburger. The meat as juicy and well-seasoned in such a way that the beefiness was really pronounced. We enjoyed the salty smokiness of the bacon, but it was far too soft. The vegetables were crisp and the burger sauce that a sweetness to it that worked pretty well with the other ingredients. Our mixed fries were overcooked though, making them a hard and crunchy disappointment.

With their tasty meat and somewhat interesting choice of toppings, The Burger ought to be able to deliver a decent burger. But unfortunately they felt more interested in serving hungry tourists than becoming a forward thinking burger joint.

🍔 Review № 1381

Black Bear Burger is one of the veterans of the modern burger wave in England, and we have tried their burgers several times since our first review in 2017. Over the years, Black Bear Burger has received more and more attention and hype, both domestically and internationally, and today they are one of the most well-known burger restaurants in all of England. They have locations at nearly 10 places around London, and we visited their restaurant inside the Market Halls Victoria food hall and ordered their Double Miso Bacon Burger – the same burger that won them the National Burger of the Year 2025 award. The burger contained double patties, double cheese, smoked bacon and their miso butter mayo, and it cost 15.8 GBP (21 USD).

The burger looked exactly as we remembered it, with pre-formed patties and a pale bun covered in a generous layer of sesame seeds. The bun was soft and fluffy, but just like on our previous visits, we felt that the crust-like amount of sesame seeds took over both in terms of flavour and texture. The meat was of high quality as always and had a nice and potent dry-aged character that they are known for. The meat could have been juicier though, as it felt a bit too compact this time. The bacon was super tasty and crispy, just the way we like it, and the onion also contributed a nice texture. Their miso butter mayo was very flavourful with its buttery, salty, and umami-rich taste, but together with the bacon and the beef, the overall flavour profile was a bit too salty. We would have liked to see some kind of freshness to break up the saltiness for a more complete experience.

We are very happy that a veteran like Black Bear Burger continues to deliver high-quality burgers year after year, and they are still a safe bet when you are craving a really good burger in London.
