The Döner Factory har två restauranger i Göteborg, en centralt strax vid avenyn och en i Mölndal Galleria, där de serverar burgare, pizzor och kebab. Deras burgarmeny innehåller åtta smashburgare, och vi beställde två varianter – en Dubbel Cheese Burger med två 80-gramspuckar, fyra skivor cheddarost, pickles och ketchup samt en Hot Gringo med två 80-gramspuckar, dubbel cheddarost, bacon, picklad rödlök, sallad, rostad lök, chipotlemajonnäs och en stark BBQ-sås. De kostade 89 kronor styck, och vi uppgraderade även till en meny med pommes frites och dippsås för 30 kronor extra.

Burgarna serverades på varsin bricka med en rejäl portion pommes frites, men den dubbla cheeseburgaren kändes försvinnande liten i handen och vi var faktiskt tvungna att dubbelkolla med köket att vi hade fått rätt burgare. När vi tog vår första tugga kände vi direkt hur mjuka burgarna var, särskilt cheeseburgaren. Köttet hade en viss stekyta, men vi hade verkligen önskat att den var mer tilltagen för att skapa lite bättre balans och bidra med lite spännande texturkontraster. Köttets smak var ganska anonym och vi hade inte heller tackat nej till en mer bastant kryddning. Våra pickles var dessutom väldigt söta, och tillsammans med ketchupen blev vår dubbla cheeseburgare oangenämt söt och mjuk. Vår Hot Gringo var dock roligare, med en mer intressant smakbild tack vare hettan i barbecuesåsen och lite fler ingredienser med olika texturer. Den stora portionen pommes frites var helt okej både smak- och texturmässigt, och det kändes som att vi verkligen fick valuta för pengarna.

Det är kul att hitta smashburgare i Göteborg, men vi kan konstatera att The Döner Factory inte riktigt har lyckats sätta konceptet ännu. Men här får du ändå en generöst prissatt och helt klart godkänd burgare, så de är fortfarande värda ett besök om du vill stilla hungern.

In English

The Döner Factory have two restaurants in Gothenburg, one in the city center by Avenyn and one in Mölndal Galleria, where they serve burgers, pizza and kebab. Their burger menu consists of eight smash burgers, and we ordered two different ones; a Double Cheese Burger with two 80-gram beef patties, four slices of cheddar, pickles and ketchup, and a Hot Gringo with two 80-gram beef patties, double cheddar, bacon, pickled red onions, lettuce, roasted onions, chipotle mayo and a spicy BBQ sauce. They cost 89 SEK (8 USD) each, and we also upgraded them with french fried and a dip for an additional 30 SEK (2.5 USD).

Our burgers came served on a tray, together with a large heap of french fries. But our double cheese burger looked surprisingly small, and we actually had to double-check that the kitchen had got our order right. And when we started eating we immediately noticed how soft our burgers were, especially the cheeseburger. The patties had some crust, but we would have liked it to be deeper to create a better balanced burger with different textures. The beef flavour was a bit anonymous as well, and we would have liked some more seasoning. The pickles were very sweet too, and together with the ketchup we got a very soft and sweet cheeseburger. The Hot Gringo was much better, with some heat from the barbecue sauce and added textures from the added ingredients. The large order of french fries tasted rather nice and was crispy, and were well worth the added cost.

We were happy to find smash burgers in Gothenburg, but we can’t escape the fact that The Döner Factory haven’t nailed the concept quite yet. But they still serve reasonably priced and decent burgers, and are worth a visit if you’re hungry in the area.

🍔 Review № 1397

🇺🇸 @localtide ★★★★☆

Local Tide is a hyped fish restaurant in central Seattle. And while most of the menu focuses on seafood, their burger has also become a bit of a talking point. They don’t take reservations, and when we arrived there were around 20 people queuing outside the small restaurant, with an hour-long wait. Luckily, there was space next door at Aslan Brewing, which served their burger and a handful of other dishes from Local Tide. We ordered their Smash Burger with beef, cheese, caramelised onions and mayo in a brioche bun for 10 USD, as well as a portion of Salt and Pepper Fries for 8 USD. We also tried their Salmon Sando for 16 USD.

After waiting around an hour for our food, our burger arrived neatly presented on a small plate. The bun looked a little flat but was lighter and fluffier than we’d expected. The beef was incredibly juicy and well salted, while the cheese was both creamy and flavourful. The caramelised onions were packed with umami and really enhanced the flavour of the beef. Both the bun and beef had a decent crust, although both could’ve been cooked a little more. Our main critique was that the burger would’ve been even better with a few more crispy components, and perhaps a bit bigger. The fries were like potato wedges and were incredibly well cooked. The generous portion was crispy and well seasoned, and their homemade ketchup was really tasty. The 16 USD salmon burger also impressed us with its fresh salmon fillet, great textures and fresh flavours.

It’s great to see a seafood restaurant serving burgers as good as the ones at Local Tide. The other seafood dishes are of course also worth trying, but make sure to arrive early and be prepared to wait a while for your food.
