Johans Burger & Bistro

Johans Burger & Bistro har tveklöst varit den mest hajpade burgarrestaurangen i Jönköping på senare tid, och lovorden från Jönköpingsbor har varit många. Vi har märkt att de blickar mer mot Londons burgarscen än den som finns på USAs västkust, vilket resulterade i tjockare köttpuckar och ett sesamprytt bröd som osökt fick oss att tänka på Bleecker Burger. Vi beställde in en dubbel Cheeseburger med två köttpuckar, cheddar, krispsallad och dressing för 125 kronor, samt en dubbel Bacon Cheeseburger med två köttpuckar, cheddar, silverlök och dressing för 130 kronor. Till detta beställde vi även en portion pommes frites för 35 kronor.

Vi gillade presentationen av burgarna och det såg väldigt lovande ut. Det lokalt bakade brödet kändes riktigt bra och hade en schysst stuns, stabilitet och en rejäl rostning. Men smakerna var lite för försiktiga, särskilt den anonyma burgardressingen och köttet som hade behövt mer salt och peppar. Köttet var också aningen överstekt vilket tyvärr resulterade i att burgaren blev ganska torr, medan det mjuka och aningen sladdriga baconet hade behövt stekas lite längre för att bli tillräckligt krispigt. Texturerna lyftes dock av den krispiga silverlöken, och som helhet var ändå burgaren god. Det märktes att råvarorna var av hög kvalitet, och med lite bättre hantering hade detta kunnat bli en riktig succé. Vi uppskattade pommes fritesen som fått en rejäl fritering och kryddats med gott om salt och allkrydda. Även dippsåserna var av hög kvalitet och vi blev smått förälskade i deras parmesandressing som verkligen hade en utmärkt smak och textur.

Johans Burger & Bistro ska en eloge för att de vågar gå sin egen väg. Här finns gott om potential för att bli riktigt bra om de bara finslipar tillagningen, och vi ser fram emot att följa deras resa framöver.

In English

Johans Burger & Bistro is arguably the most hyped burger restaurant in Jönköping right now, and the praise from Jönköping residents has been immense. We’ve noticed that they seem to be more influenced by London’s burger scene than the United States’ West Coast, resulting in thicker patties and a sesame-crusted bun that reminded us a bit of Bleecker Burger. We ordered a double Cheeseburger with two patties, cheddar, lettuce and burger sauce for 125 SEK (11.5 USD), and a double Bacon Cheeseburger with two patties, cheddar, white onions and burger sauce for 130 SEK (12 USD). We also ordered french fries for 35 SEK (3 USD).

We liked the promising presentation of the burgers, and the locally baked bun felt great and was squishy and nicely toasted. However, the overall flavours were a bit too cautious, especially the anonymous burger dressing and the meat which needed more salt and pepper. The patties were also slightly overcooked, which unfortunately led to the burgers being quite dry, while the soft and slightly floppy bacon should have been cooked a little longer to be crispier. However, the textures were lifted by the crunchy white onions, and as a whole the burger was still good. It was clear that they were using high quality ingredients, and with a little better handling this could have been a real hit. We appreciated the french fries, which were properly cooked and seasoned with plenty of salt and spices. The dipping sauces were great too, and we fell in love with their parmesan dressing which really had an excellent taste and texture.

We appreciate that Johans Burger & Bistro dare to go their own way, and there is plenty of potential here if they just fine-tune their approach. We look forward to following their journey in the future.

Burger Devil is located in Bäckby on the outskirts of Västerås, and when we first visited them in 2023 after several recommendations, we were pleasantly surprised by the high quality. During our return visit, we noticed that the restaurant had a thoughtfully designed interior, with almost every little detail featuring their branding. This time, we ordered a Cheese with two 120-gram beef patties, cheddar, red onions, pickles, yellow mustard, ketchup and mayo, as well as a Habanero Cheese with the same amount of beef, cheddar, habanero cheese, white onions, fresh chilli and béarnaise sauce. Both double burgers cost 189 SEK (19 USD) each as meals, including fries and a soft drink.

The burgers were nicely presented in paper sleeves and well assembled, with a good patty to bun ratio – even though our Habanero Cheese was a bit overloaded with toppings. The buns held everything together well, with a soft exterior and a nicely toasted interior. The beef was heavily smashed with a nice crust and generous seasoning that gave it a rich and robust flavour. However, we would have liked more heat from the Habanero Cheese, especially considering its name. And while we appreciated the idea of adding béarnaise sauce, the flavours became somewhat monotonous towards the end, and we would have liked something fresh to break things up. The fried habanero and cheese balls added a really nice contrast in texture, though, and overall it was a very enjoyable burger. The cheeseburger was also good at its core, but the flavours were slightly too sweet. We would have really appreciated some tangy dill pickles here to create a better balance. The fries were well-fried and nicely salted, but the dips we ordered could have had a bit more flavour.

Burger Devil has a well-developed concept, and they continue to serve filling and well-made burgers at very reasonable prices. Despite a few minor flaws, that still goes a long way.

Hos oss är det sommar året om! Och du behöver faktiskt ingen grill för att göra en BBQ-burgare. Burgerdudes Summer BBQ Burger kombinerar Sweet Baby Ray’s Original Barbecue Sauce med sallad, tomat och picklad rödlök. Den picklade rödlöken ger både krisp och syra som balanserar den söta och rökiga barbecuesåsen, medan grönsakerna lyfter smakerna. Vi smashar köttet på en stekplatta på grillen, men det går lika bra att göra det i en gjutjärnspanna i köket.

🍔 Burgerdudes Summer BBQ Burger
4 portioner / 30 min

Du behöver:
800 g grovmald högrevsfärs, 20–30 % fetthalt
4 hamburgerbröd, gärna briochebröd
8 skivor hamburgerost
Sweet Baby Ray’s Original Barbecue Sauce
4 salladsblad
4 tomatskivor
1 rödlök
1 dl ättiksprit, 12 %
2 dl strösocker
3 dl vatten Smör
Salt och grovmald svartpeppar

Gör så här:
1.) Pickla rödlöken. Koka upp ättiksprit, socker och vatten och rör tills sockret har löst sig. Låt svalna. Skiva rödlöken tunt och lägg den i lagen i minst 30 minuter.
2.) Dela upp färsen i 8 delar à 100 gram och forma löst till bollar med händerna.
3.) Smält en liten klick smör på stekplattan eller i stekpannan och rosta insidan av bröden. Lägg åt sidan och torka av plattan eller pannan.
4.) Höj till maxvärme, cirka 250 grader. Lägg på köttbollarna och pressa med jämnt tryck till cirka 1 ½ cm tjocklek med ett smashverktyg i cirka 10 sekunder. Salta och peppra generöst.
5.) När små bubblor börjar bildas på köttets yta vänder du köttet med en vass stekspade. Lägg två skivor hamburgerost på varje köttpuck och stek ytterligare cirka 1 minut.
6.) Ringla Sweet Baby Ray’s Original Barbecue Sauce på brödets botten och lock. Lägg ett salladsblad på botten, följt av två köttpuckar. Toppa med en tomatskiva och picklad rödlök. Sätt sedan på locket.

Servera direkt och njut av smaken av sommar! ☀️

🇸🇪 @noahsburgare ★★★★★

We first visited N.O.A.H’s Burgare in Södertälje in 2024, and they’ve been high on our ranking of Sweden’s Best Burgers ever since. Their small white food truck has now been replaced by a much larger container, and the menu featured around ten burgers. We ordered our favourite, the Double Bacon Burger, with two 110-gram beef patties, cheddar, bacon, tomato, burger sauce and BBQ sauce for 138 SEK (14 USD). We also tried their SSK Meal, featuring a Bacon Jam Burger with a 135-gram beef patty, cheddar, bacon jam, pickles and Mac sauce. It cost 185 SEK (19 USD), including fries, a dip and a drink.

The burgers arrived quickly and looked just as inviting as we remembered. The Bacon Burger delivered crispy bacon and deep umami flavours, while the diced tomato worked surprisingly well with the other ingredients, adding both juiciness and a distinct texture. The Bacon Jam Burger had a pronounced sweetness and smokiness that we really enjoyed. The thicker beef patty had a crispy crust and a very juicy centre, and together with the generous amount of bacon jam, the proportions between the beef, toppings and bun were really good. However, the Mac sauce faded into the background and didn’t quite get a chance to shine. Both burgers were generously seasoned with salt and coarsely ground black pepper, and we particularly appreciated how they had adjusted the thickness of the patties to suit the toppings. The flavourful bacon jam worked perfectly with a thicker patty, while the classic Bacon Burger had better proportions with two thinner patties, each with an amazing crust. The fries were well-cooked and almost impossible to stop eating, and the included Mac dip paired really well with them.

N.O.A.H’s Burgare just keeps getting better with every visit, and they continue to impress from their small car park on the outskirts of Södertälje. If you love burgers, they’re definitely worth a detour.

🇺🇸 @familyfriend20671 ★★★★☆

Familyfriend is located in a residential neighbourhood in South Seattle and serves American comfort food and Guamanian fusion cuisine. They’ve been named the home of both Seattle’s best smashburger and corn soup, and the restaurant itself has a cosy interior with a large and airy courtyard. The menu consisted of small plates, medium plates and mains, and we ordered the only burger on the menu. The Da Kids Kewpie Burger came with beef, cheese, onions, pickles and miso and cost 20 USD, including a portion of Truffle Shoestring Fries. We also added an extra beef patty for another 5 USD.

The burger was served on a small plate and looked really cute. The beef was juicy with a crispy crust, but we would’ve appreciated more salt to make the flavours pop. The bun was nice and surprisingly airy, but should’ve been toasted harder on the inside. Ratio-wise, it worked really well with double beef, and we think a single would’ve been too bun-heavy. The diced onions were exceptionally crisp and flavourful without taking over, but they’d also diced the pickles, which made them feel more like relish. So even though the flavour was there, we missed their natural crunch, and the burger felt a little too soft overall. The flavours were simple but tasty, and we liked that they dared to keep the burger this simple. Their truffle fries were thinly cut and fried until crisp. Luckily, they’d only been lightly tossed in a fresh truffle oil, which added umami without taking over. We genuinely couldn’t stop eating them.

Familyfriend is a cosy little neighbourhood restaurant that’s well worth a visit. Come for the burger, but make sure to order several of the medium plates to share as well. We tried everything from tacos and empanadas to the burger and their corn soup – and the latter really did live up to its award.
