The Joint Genuine Street Food

The Joint Genuine Street Food öppnade sina dörrar hösten 2016 i Göteborg. Deras fokus ligger på burgare, men de har även en del mexikansk mat på menyn. Vi beställde in en The Classic med pickles, tomater, röd lök, sallad och deras egna burgardressing för 99 kronor, samt en The Joint med cheddarost, chipotle-majonnäs, baconsylt, jalapeños och stekt lök för 109 kronor. Vi testade även deras Mixed Fries för 39 kronor.

Burgarna såg ganska klassiska ut, med en lite tjockare köttpuck och rikligt med toppings. Brödet var mjukt och följsamt, och höll ihop bra. Men köttet var tyvärr lite stumt och tuggigt, och hade mått bra av mer salt. The Classic-burgaren varit godare med lite ost, för nu var det bara deras egen dressing som gav någon egentlig smak – och den var rejält söt. The Joint-burgaren var även den betydligt sötare än vi hade önskat, främst från baconsylten som mest såg ut som en lökmarmelad. Utöver att den var söt så var den oväntat anonym, precis som chipotle-majonnäsen. Jalapeñosarna bjöd åtminstone på en generös hetta som vi gillade, och grönsakerna på båda våra burgare var ganska tunt skurna och kändes fräscha. Deras Mixed Fries bestod av tunna sötpotatispommes och lite rejälare vanliga pommes frites. Tyvärr så var båda varianterna underfriterade och saknade den där tillfredställande krispiga ytan som vi gillar.

Framför allt kändes smakerna obalanserade, och vi lämnade The Joint lite besvikna, och med en oönskad söt eftersmak i munnen.

In English

The Joint Genuine Street Food opened back in 2016 in Gothenburg, and their menu includes both burgers and mexican food. We ordered two hamburgers; a The Classic with pickles, tomatoes, red onions, lettuce and their burger sauce for 99 SEK (11.5 USD) plus a The Joint with cheddar, chipotle mayo, bacon jam, jalapeños and fried onions for 109 SEK (12.5 USD). We also ordered some Mixed Fries for 39 SEK (4.5 USD).

Our burgers had a classic look to them, with a quite thick patty and plenty of toppings. The bun was soft and a bit squishy, and held together well. But the patties were quite chewy and could also have done with a bit more salt. Our The Classic burger would have benefited from having cheese, seeing as most of the flavour came from the burger sauce which was unnecessarily sweet. The Joint burger was also sweeter than we’d hoped for, mainly due to the bacon jam resembling an overly sweet onion marmalade. And apart from its sweetness it was pretty anonymous and didn’t taste of much else, just like the chipotle mayo. Thankfully the jalapeños added some much-needed heat, and the vegetables on both of our burgers were thinly sliced and felt fresh and crisp. Their Mixed Fries consisted of both thin sweet potato fries and a bit thicker regular fries, but both varieties were undercooked and lacked that crispiness that we were after.

Overall, the flavours felt unbalanced, and we left The Joint a bit disappointed and with an unwanted sweet aftertaste.

🇸🇪 @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.
