Vi har haft span på NK Bar & Kök i Katrineholm i flera år nu, så när vi var på genomresa blev det ett självklart stopp längs vägen. Vi besökte dem under lunchen när de erbjöd två olika burgare, men under middagstid utökas menyn med en handfull fler alternativ. Valet därför på en NK’s Lunchburger med dubbelt kött, cheddar, krispsallad, tomat, picklad rödlök och en rökig chilidressing samt en Smokey Burger med dubbelt kött, cheddar, tomat, jalapeños, lökringar och samma dressing. Burgarna kostade 135 kronor under lunchen, och i priset ingick även pommes frites och läsk, samt kaffe och småkakor.

Det första vi noterade var det saftiga köttet, som var välkryddat med en tydlig crust. Brödet var ganska neutralt i smaken och hyfsat rostat, och osten var fint smält och bidrog med den krämighet vi hoppats på. Det var ordentligt drag i jalapeñosen, vilket vi uppskattade, men lökringen i vår Smokey Burger hade gärna fått friteras lite längre för att ge ännu mer krisp. Tomaten kändes överflödig i smakbilden i båda burgarna, även om vi uppskattade att den hade rätt temperatur. Salladen och den stora mängden dressing i vår NK’s Lunchburger gjorde den ganska kladdig, och den började glida isär redan efter någon tugga. Och båda såserna var lite för tama bjöd inte på särskilt mycket smak. Pommes fritesen hade en konstig bismak, och vi misstänker att oljan antingen var gammal eller använts till att fritera annan mat. Det drog tyvärr ned helhetsintrycket en hel del. Men annars vill vi lyfta fram den avslappnade och proffsiga servicen, som bidrog till att hela besöket kändes väldigt varmt och välkomnande.

NK Bar & Kök serverar väldigt prisvärda lunchburgare, och även middagspriserna ser riktigt rimliga ut. Det här är ett solklart val nästa gång du är sugen på en god burgare i Katrineholm.

In English

We have had our eye on NK Bar & Kök in Katrineholm since 2022, so when we were passing through, it was an obvious stop along the way. We visited them for lunch when they offered two different burgers, but at dinner time, their menu expands with a handful of more options. We opted for an NK’s Lunchburger with double patties, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, pickled red onions and a smoky chili dressing, and a Smokey Burger with double patties, cheddar, tomato, jalapeños, onion rings and the same dressing. The burgers cost 135 SEK (14 USD) at lunchtime, which also included fries and a soft drink, as well as coffee and biscuits.

The first thing we noticed were the juicy patties, which were well seasoned with a distinct crust. The buns were fairly neutral in taste and reasonably well toasted, and the cheese was nicely melted and added the creaminess we had hoped for. The jalapeño had a good kick, which we appreciated, but the onion ring in our Smokey Burger should have been cooked a little longer to give it even more crispness. The tomato felt unnecessary in the flavour profile of both burgers, although we appreciated that it was served at the right temperature. The lettuce and the large amount of dressing in our NK’s Lunchburger made it quite messy, and it started to fall apart after just a few bites. Both sauces were a little too bland and didn’t offer much in the way of flavour. The French fries had a strange aftertaste, and we suspect that the oil was either old or had been used to fry other food. Unfortunately, this detracted from the overall impression quite a bit. But otherwise, we would like to highlight the relaxed and professional service, which contributed to the whole visit feeling very warm and welcoming.

NK Bar & Kök serve affordable lunch burgers, and the dinner prices also look very reasonable. This is a great choice the next time you’re craving a nice burger in Katrineholm.

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.

🇸🇪 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.
