Tugg Burgers slog upp portarna för första gången i Borås år 2014, och vi har recenserat dem flera gånger genom åren. De expanderade starkt i Sverige ett bra tag och har även köpt upp burgarpionjärerna Flippin’ Burgers, men på senare tid har de stängt några restauranger och finns numera i en handfull svenska städer. Vi besökte dem i Lund, där restaurangen ligger i en mysig innergård med gott om sittplatser inomhus och ute under tak. Denna gång beställde vi dels en Cheeseburger med dubbel cheddar, karamelliserad lök, pickles, senap och ketchup för 119 kronor och en Chili Sensation 6.0 med cheddar, hackat bacon, silverlök, picklad chili och jalapeñomajonnäs för 129 kronor. Mixed fries, alltså en kombination av pommes frites gjorda på vanlig potatis och sötpotatis, ingick i priset.

Burgarna såg riktigt fina ut när de serverades, även om de var lite för hårt uppvärmda på toppen. Vår Chili Sensation var väldigt snygg med sina halverade röda chilis och höll ihop riktigt väl, och bjöd dessutom på rejält heta smaker. Baconhacket var på precis rätt sida av att vara överstekt, vilket gav det ett härligt crunch. Silverlöken var dock för tunt skivad, och vi hade gärna sett lite mer krispighet i själva burgaren. Cheeseburgaren svajade tyvärr lite mer rent kvalitetsmässigt, med ett väldigt mjukt bröd och lite för mycket senap och ketchup. Den karamelliserade löken smakade gott, men deras pickles var gjorda med slanggurka vilket gjorde dem väldigt mjuka. Mixed friesen var utsökta och ett utmärkt komplement till måltiden.

Tugg Burgers serverar fortfarande riktigt goda hamburgare med gott om hantverkstänk, och även om de inte är lika övertygande som de varit de senaste åren så kan vi slå fast att det här var riktigt bra. Vi återvänder gärna nästa gång vi stöter på dem, och hoppas att de serverar sina hantverksburgare i många år till.

In English

Tugg Burgers first opened in Borås back in 2014, and we’ve reviewed them several times over the years. They expanded strongly in Sweden for a while and even acquired the burger pioneers Flippin’ Burgers, but lately they have closed some restaurants and can now be found in a handful of Swedish cities. We visited them in Lund, where the restaurant is located in a cosy courtyard with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. This time we ordered a Cheeseburger with double cheddar, caramelised onions, pickles, ketchup and mustard for 119 SEK (11 USD) and a Chili Sensation 6.0 with cheddar, chopped bacon, white onions, pickled chili and a jalapeño mayo for 129 SEK (12 USD). A mix of sweet and regular potato fries was included in the price.

The burgers looked really nice when they arrived, although they were a little too well-toasted on top. Our Chili Sensation looked great with its red chili halves and held together really well, and was also really spicy. The chopped bacon was just on the right side of being overcooked, giving it a lovely crunch. However, the white onions were too thinly sliced, and we would have liked to see a little more crunchy textures overall. The Cheeseburger was unfortunately the weaker of the two, with a very soft bun and a bit too much ketchup and mustard. The caramelised onions were tasty, but their pickles were made with regular cucumber which made them very soft. The mixed fries were delicious and a great addition to the meal.

Tugg Burgers still serve really good burgers with plenty of craftsmanship, and although they perhaps aren’t as strong as they have been in recent years, they still delivered. We’ll gladly return the next time we come across them, and hope that they keep serving their artisan burgers for many years to come.

Recension från 13 april 2018

Recension skriven av Stefan Wadstedt

Tugg Burgers öppnade sin första restaurang i Borås redan 2014, och finns idag i flera städer runt om i Sverige. Vi besökte deras restaurang i Lund, där de erbjöd sex olika köttburgare och ett vegetariskt alternativ. Valet föll på en klassisk cheeseburgare för 95 kronor, som innehöll en 160-grams köttpuck, karamelliserad lök, cheddar, ketchup och senap. Vi köpte även till lite extra bacon för en tia, samt pommes frites och coleslaw som kostade hela 40 kronor styck.

Hamburgaren såg okej ut när den serverades, men var inget estetiskt mästerverk. Som tur var så bjöd den på en riktig smaksensation med härligt mediumstekt och smakrikt hamburgerkött av hög kvalitet. Den karamelliserade löken balanserade väl upp sältan från det knaperstekta baconet, med bra proportioner av båda. Cheddarosten gjorde sitt jobb utan att glänsa, och det varma och mjuka briochebrödet var följsamt, om än lite inspirationslöst och likt Garants butiksbröd. Coleslawen och pommes fritesen var båda goda utan att vara i toppklass, och kostade kanske lite mer än de smakade.

Tugg Burgers serverar välgjorda och goda hamburgare, och de har konsekvent hållit hög kvalitet under våra besök. Betyget är en betryggande fyra, vilket gör minikedjan till en riktig pärla i södra Sverige.

Tugg Burgers opened its first burger joint in Borås in 2014, and the small chain is now primed to enter Malmö with their fourth location. We visited their Lund restaurant and ordered a cheeseburger with caramelised onions, cheddar, ketchup, mustard and extra bacon. The burger looked alright but not amazing, but it tasted great. The 160 gram patty was a nicely cooked and juicy medium, and the saltiness from the crispy bacon complemented the sweet onions perfectly. And we always enjoy a nice brioche bun. The other ingredients such as the cheddar, and sides such as the coleslaw and the french fries were ok, but no more than that. The sides were a bit too pricey as well. Tugg Burgers consistently serve high quality burgers, making them one of our favourite hamburger restaurants in the south of Sweden.

🇸🇪 Burger House Homemade ★☆☆☆☆

Burger House Homemade is located right by the E18 outside Kristinehamn and is hard to miss from the road. The restaurant is decorated like a colourful American 1950s diner, with a large menu where the burgers come in several sizes. The prices were steep, with a burger containing 120 grams of beef costing 189 SEK (20 USD) and a 200-gram version a whopping 289 SEK (31 USD), meaning an extra 100 SEK (11 USD) for just 80 grams more beef. However, we struggled to find a burger where the ingredients felt thoughtfully put together. In the end, we ordered a Cheeseburger with 200 grams of beef, double cheddar, caramelised onions, tomato, lettuce, pickles and burger sauce. Fries were included, but with a soft drink the final bill came to well over 300 SEK (32 USD).

The burger was sloppily assembled and covered in sauce when it arrived. The two smashed patties, made from Swedish chuck, had a lightly grilled flavour, but they’d been pressed too hard and had a compact, chewy texture. The beef was also oversalted and tasted really dull. In contrast, the burger sauce, onions and, strangely enough, even the pickles were very sweet, and none of the flavours worked particularly well together. The lettuce had been placed underneath the beef, where the heat had turned it translucent and limp. The sesame bun had been coloured yellow with turmeric and grilled hard on the outside in a sandwich press, while the inside was left almost completely untoasted. This made it soggy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The result was a messy burger with poorly handled beef at an outrageously high price. The fries were at least okay and the portion was very filling, but that was the only positive part of the meal.

Burger House Homemade felt more like a trap for hungry motorists than a craft burger place with homemade burgers, and we found nothing that justified the unreasonably high prices. We recommend holding out a little longer and finding something tastier and better value further down the road if you’re craving a burger on your journey.

🍔 Review № 1407

🇸🇪 @rollinbistrosbackyard ★★★★☆

Rollin Bistros started out as a food truck in 2014 and opened their Backyard in Gamlestaden, Gothenburg, in 2020, which we visited shortly afterwards. Since 2024, they’ve also served our favourite burger in Gothenburg. One thing that’s consistent at Rollin Bistros is the craftsmanship, which was evident in both the food and the huge yet intimate venue. During our latest visit, we ordered two burgers: a double Classic Cheese with two smashed patties, cheddar, white onions, dill pickles and burger sauce for 220 SEK (22 USD), as well as the bistro-style Home Run with just one thick beef patty and cheese for 195 SEK (19.5 USD). We also ordered a portion of teriyaki onion rings for 95 SEK (9.5 USD).

It’s always a bold move to serve a burger with just beef, bun and cheese, but the Home Run really let the ingredients shine. The thick beef patty was juicy, with a slightly pink centre and a nice crust. It tasted really good in all its simplicity, although the meat had been salted a little too heavily. The bun from a local bakery was airy, held together well and had a buttery richness that we appreciated. The smashed cheeseburger also had tasty beef, and although it was naturally more well-done, it was still juicy. The cheese was creamy, the onions added a nice texture and the burger sauce was like a more grown-up and mature version of a classic burger sauce. The problem here was their pickles, which were a bit floppy since they were made with regular cucumbers, with a sharp flavour that reminded us more of a Swedish crayfish party than a burger. As always, the star of the menu was their sides, something they’ve never failed at. The onion rings were crispy and served with an addictive teriyaki ripple and an equally fantastic MSG mayo. The soft serve ice-cream also impressed, with interesting toppings such as foie gras and caramel sauce for 115 SEK (11.5 USD) as well as yuzu, toasted sesame seeds and crispy meringues for 75 SEK (7.5 USD).

Rollin Bistros keep flying the flag high on Gothenburg’s burger scene, and we also recommend a visit to Gamlestaden for the sides, desserts and service.
