Rob’s Burger & Steak har stängt sin verksamhet.

Ett stenkast från Sofiakyrkan i Jönköping ligger Rob’s Burger & Steak, och vi recenserade dem för första gången 2020. Inredningen påminner om ett klassisk steakhouse, men på menyn finns ett handfull burgare och ett par olika steaks. Burgarna kostar generellt mellan 135 och 185 kronor, men då vi var förbi på lunchen gick menyn på 125 kronor, inklusive pommes frites och en dryck. Vi beställde en Ladan med cheddar, bacon, sallad, lök och hamburgerdressing samt en Jägaren med cheddar, stekt lök, pickles och hamburgerdressing. På lunchen serverades burgarna med en 150-gramspuck, men på kvällar serveras Jägaren med två 100-gramspuckar istället.

Burgarna såg precis lika fina ut som vid vårt tidigare besök. Brödet var fluffigt och mjukt med en neutral smak, men vi hade föredragit om de hade rostat det. Köttet smakade gott och lätt grillat, men var lite för kompakt. Som tur var så bjöd burgarna på krämig och snyggt smält ost, samt att vår Ladan hade krispigt och välsmakande bacon som passade med den grillade smaken. Picklesen hade dock alldeles för lite syra i sig för att bryta av de andra smakerna. Ladan var dock markant bättre än Jägaren, som var alldeles för mjuk i konsistensen. Dessutom blev det något i kombinationen av hamburgerdressing och den stekt lök som inte riktigt fungerade, med en olivliknande smakbild som vi hade svårt att komma förbi.

Överlag kändes båda burgarna ganska små, speciellt särskilt med tanke på det stora brödet, och vi tror definitivt att två 100-gramspuckar hade gett dem en bättre ratio. Pommes fritesen var riktigt krispiga och det var en generös portion som ingick i måltiden. Det finns fortfarande förbättringspotential hos Rob’s Burger & Steak, men de serverar – precis som tidigare – en solklart godkänd burgare.

In English

Rob’s Burger & Steak can be found just by the Sofia Church in Jönköping, and we reviewed them for the first time in 2020. The decor resembles a classic steakhouse, amd the menu includes a handful of burgers and a variety of steaks. The burgers generally cost between 135 and 185 SEK, but when we stopped by for lunch a menu cost 125 SEK, including fries and a drink. We ordered a Ladan with cheddar, bacon, lettuce, onions and hamburger sauce and a Jägaren with cheddar, fried onions, pickles and hamburger sauce. At lunch, the burgers came with one 150-gram patty, but in the evenings the Jägaren comes with two 100-gram patties instead.

The burgers looked just as good as they did during our previous visit. The bun was fluffy and soft with a neutral flavor, but we would have preferred if they had toasted it. The beef was tasty and lightly grilled, but a little too compact. Fortunately, the burgers had creamy and nicely melted cheese, and our Ladan had crispy and tasty bacon to go with the grilled flavors. However, the pickles lacked enough acidity to break up the other flavors. Ladan was significantly better than Jägaren, which was far too soft in texture. Also, there was something in the combination of the burger sauce and the fried onions that didn’t quite work, with an olive-like flavor that we had a hard time getting past.

Overall, both burgers felt quite small, especially considering the large bun, and we definitely think two 100-gram patties would have given them a better ratio. The fries were really crispy and it was a generous portion included in the meal. There is still room for improvement at Rob’s Burger & Steak, but they serve – just like before – a thoroughly decent burger.

Med gott om förbättringspotential.

Rob’s Burger & Steak ligger i centrala Jönköping, ett stenkast från Sofiakyrkan. De har rymliga lokaler som har inretts i en klassisk steakhouse-estetik, och menyn består av tio burgare prissatta mellan 105 och 158 kronor. En av dessa är en kampanjburgare som byts ut varje månad.

Vi beställde deras burgare Ladan med cheddarost, bacon, dressing, sallad och lök för 105 kronor. Burgaren serverades fint på ett fat tillsammans med en stor portion pommes frites som ingick i priset. Vårt första intryck av burgaren var positivt; den var snygg, hade en lockande stekyta på köttet samt fräsch sallad som stack ut precis lagom mycket. Vid närmare inspektion noterade vi dock att osten var relativt osmält vilket tyvärr drog ner helhetsintrycket något.

Burgaren kändes bra i handen, men vi märkte tyvärr snabbt att brödet hade en ganska hård kant runt omkring sig. Vi tyckte även att brödet var aningen för stort för köttpuckens storlek på 150 gram. Köttet var gott och hade en riktigt fin stekyta som vi verkligen uppskattade, men kryddningen tog över lite väl mycket av smaken. Valet att lägga dressingen ovanpå baconet var inte heller det bästa eftersom detta medförde att krispigheten försvann och att baconet blev för mjukt. Pommes fritesen var däremot riktigt goda med utmärkt kryddning.

Rob’s Burger & Steak skulle med andra ord kunna förbättra en hel del saker, men överlag serverar de helt klart godkända hamburgare som har rejält med potential.

Rob’s Burger & Steak are located just by the Sofia church in central Jönköping, Sweden. Their spacious restaurant has a classic steakhouse feel to it, and their menu includes 10 burgers costing 105-158 SEK (12-18 USD) each, including one monthly special.

We ordered a “Ladan” burger with cheddar, bacon, burger sauce, lettuce and onions for 105 SEK (12 USD). It came neatly served on a tray with a large order of fries that was included in the price. First impressions were positive; seeing as it looked great with an appetizing crust and some crisp and perfectly sized lettuce. However, upon further inspection we did notice that the cheese was just half melted.

The burger felt great in our hand, but it became obvious that the bun had a hard crust all around. It was also a bit too large for the 150 gram patty. The actual burger had a great crust that we really liked, but the seasoning was a bit overpowering. Their decision of placing the sauce on top of the bacon was a bit baffling as well, as this made the bacon soft and soggy instead of crispy. We enjoyed the flavoursome and tasty French Fries though.

Rob’s Burger & Steak would really benefit from improving quite a few things, but they already serve an adequate burger that holds a lot of potential.

🇸🇪 Mother of Wagon ★★★★☆

Mother of Wagon opened by Arboga’s train station in the summer of 2026, and is actually run by the mother of the owner of The Wagon Burgers & Brews in Stockholm. Besides the clever name, they also offered four burgers, all of which could be made vegetarian. We ordered a Cheeseburger with two 100-gram mustard-smashed beef patties, cheddar, onions, pickles, ketchup and dressing in a brioche bun. It cost 130 SEK (14 USD), and we also added fries for 30 SEK (3 USD).

The burger looked really good when it arrived, even if it had been assembled somewhat hastily with a lot of sauce. The flavours worked well, but all that sauce made it a little difficult to eat as the patties kept sliding around. The beef from a local farm in Örebro was generously seasoned and had plenty of flavour. However, it had been slightly overworked and was a bit too compact, and we would’ve preferred a more airy texture. The cheese had melted nicely over the patties, and we also appreciated that the fluffy bun had been nicely toasted on the inside, helping it hold together throughout the meal. We liked the finely chopped onions, while the pickles were crunchy, if slightly sweet. Although the mustard smash added plenty of flavour to the beef, we would’ve appreciated the acidity of American yellow mustard instead of the fairly sweet burger sauce. The fries came in a very generous portion and were thick and well-cooked, but slightly too heavily salted.

Mother of Wagon has managed to build a really solid foundation in just a few months, and the friendly staff also contributed to the experience. We’re really happy that it’s now possible to get a good burger in central Arboga.

Gävle är inte bara känt för att bränna bockar. Här smashas det burgare också!

Sedan vårt förra besök har stadens burgarscen ritats om rejält. Nya ställen har öppnat, medan veteraner som Bro Burger Bar, Lilla Tjuren och Bastard Burgers (två gånger om) har stängt. Den här gången riktar vi därför blickarna helt mot nykomlingarna.

Vi testar nyöppnade restauranger längs Gävleån och inne i centrum. Dessutom besöker vi stadens hetaste (och kanske enda) burgarfoodtruck. Vilka levererar och vilka lever inte upp till hajpen?

Du kan se hela filmen på vår Youtube-kanal! 🍔✌️

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @hanbaagaasuuteeki ★★★★☆

Hanbaagaasuuteeki opened their burger restaurant near London Victoria in the summer of 2025. Since then, they have gone viral for their Asian-inspired burgers and their rather unique name, which is a play on ”hamburger steak”. The restaurant is stripped-back and consists mainly of counter seating, and the menu featured four different beef burgers. We ordered the Another Double Cheese Burger for 9 GBP (12 USD), the spicy Kimchi Burger for 11 GBP (15 USD) and the onion-smashed Thai Okla Bāgā 2.0 for 14 GBP (19 USD). We also tried their Sūpā Poteto, fries topped with wasabi and seaweed, for 8 GBP (11 USD).

Our food was served on small paper plates and everything looked really interesting. The beef had crispy edges while remaining juicy. The buns held together well, but hadn’t been toasted enough on the inside and became a bit too soft. The Kimchi Burger was our favourite, with lots of flavours that worked well together. The fresh acidity made the burger feel both balanced and surprisingly light. Their Thai burger was an Asian take on an Oklahoma Smash, with a noticeable but pleasant heat along with some nice nutty notes. However, the amount of lettuce made it a little difficult to bite through. The cheeseburger was overshadowed by its more adventurous siblings. It was a little too anonymous, and we disliked their overly sweet pickles. The wasabi and seaweed fries, on the other hand, were great! The portion was generous, the flavours were spot on and they were well worth the price. Extra points for serving them with chopsticks, an unexpected but practical touch that made it possible to eat the saucy creation without making a mess.

We definitely recommend a visit to Hanbaagaasuuteeki, especially for the more adventurous options on the menu. The wilder creations are the ones that steal the show here, so don’t be afraid to venture outside your comfort zone!
