Trist och oinspirerat

Burgers and Steaks

Burgers and Steaks huserar i foodcourten i Hallarna köpcentrum i Halmstad. Menyn består i huvudsak av burgare men menyn rymmer även diverse kötträtter, bl.a. revbensspjäll. Vårt val blev en ”Mikes Burger” med sallad, lök, ost och dressing för 99 kronor. Burgaren såg skaplig ut när den kom in även om köttets utseende skvallrade om att det hade varit fryst innan tillagning.

Och visst, våra farhågor besannades redan vid första tuggan. Det här var inget färskmalt kött, utan en fryst, homogen och kompakt köttpuck på 140 gram som tillagats. Smakmässigt var den ganska tråkig, och den hade inte mycket köttsmak att tala om. Brödet var i alla fall snäppet bättre och var trevligt fluffigt och mjukt. Det smakade visserligen inte särskilt mycket det heller, men konsistensen var åtminstone bra. Vi uppskattade även att det hade värmts på stekbordet innan servering. Grönsakerna, dressingen och osten var det inget fel, men inget stack heller ut som något positivt.

Burgarna är lika oinspirerande som deras namn, och när konkurrensen bland Sveriges hamburgerställen ständigt blir hårdare så duger det helt enkelt inte med kompakta fryspuckar. Smakmässigt i den här prisklassen är Burgers and Steaks definitivt ett bättre val än de närliggande snabbmatskedjorna, men det här är ingenting värt att ta en omväg för.

In English

Burgers and Steaks are located in the Hallarna Köpcentrum foodcourt in Halmstad, in the south of Sweden. Their menu contains various meat dishes, but mainly burgers of course. We ordered a ”Mikes Burger”, with a 5 oz patty, lettuce, onions, cheese and a burger dressing for 99 SEK (approximately 11 USD). The actual burger looked alright at first glance, but the patty looked like it had been frozen before they cooked it.

And our worries were confirmed after the first bite. This wasn’t a freshly ground patty, but a pre-frozen and compact piece of meat. It hardly tasted of meat at all, and was just chewy and boring. The bun was alright, even though it didn’t taste that much either, but it was at least soft and fluffy. We also liked that they’d heated it on the griddle as well. The vegetables, dressing and cheese didn’t garner any complaints, but they didn’t really pop either.

Burgers and Steaks’ food is just about as uninspired as their name, and now that the competition has heated up in Sweden we need more than frozen patties. Sure, they’re better than a fast-food joint, but they’re far from worth a detour.

🇸🇪 @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.
