Zigzag Burger

ZigZag Burger öppnade sin första enhet vid Hökartorget i Köping under 2020, och vi utsåg dem redan då till Västmanlands nya stjärnskott. De öppnade sedan i Västerås i början av 2022, men vi har inte haft möjlighet att besöka denna enhet förrän nu. Deras lilla matvagn ligger vid Fiskartorget intill Svartån, och menyn är föredömligt kort med en handfull olika burgare på menyn. Vi beställde tre dubbelburgare; en Cheese Burger med burgarost, rödlök, pickles, senap, ketchup och majonnäs, en Hot Zigzag med burgarost, chili, jalapeños, tomat, srirachamajonnäs och majonnäs samt en Zigzag Original med burgarost, sallad, tomat och dressing. De kostade 106 kronor styck, och vi lade även till pommes frites för 35 kronor extra.

Burgarna serverades prydligt inslagna i papper, och de mjuka potatisbröden såg riktigt inbjudande ut. Utöver att de var snyggt välkomponerade var det även tydligt att mängden ingredienser valts med omsorg. Första tuggan bjöd på en kavalkad av smaker, med en otroligt bra stekyta. Köttet var saftigt och lite rosa i mitten, och bjöd på en smörig smak. Vår cheeseburgare var väl avvägd och en fin munsbit, och vår Hot Zigzag var en riktig smakexplosion med gott om heta ingredienser som samspelade riktigt fint med varandra. Vi uppskattade även att potatisbrödet var så pass följsamt som det var, och dessutom ordentligt rostat på insidan. Vi saknade dock lite fler intressanta texturer, och burgarna var ganska små och då de var frontmatade med ingredienser så tog de slut lite väl fort. Pommes fritesen var godkända, men lite dyra i sammanhanget.

Zigzag Burger serverar helt klart de bästa burgarna i Västerås och Köping just nu, och är ett klockrent besök nästa gång du är i Västmanland.

In English

ZigZag Burger opened their first unit on Hökartorget in Köping in 2020, and back then we named them Västmanland’s new rising star. They later opened in Västerås in early 2022, but we haven’t had the opportunity to visit this unit until now. Their small food cart is located at Fiskartorget next to Svartån, and their menu is short but sweet with a handful of different burgers on the menu. We ordered three double burgers; a Cheese Burger with American cheese, red onions, pickles, mustard, ketchup and mayo, a Hot Zigzag with American cheese, chilis, jalapeños, tomato, sriracha mayo and regular mayo and a Zigzag Original with American cheese, lettuce, tomato and burger sauce. They cost 106 SEK (9.5 USD) each, and we also added fries for 35 SEK (3 USD) extra.

The burgers arrived neatly wrapped in paper, and the soft potato buns looked very inviting. In addition to being nicely composed, it was also clear that the amount of ingredients was chosen with care. The first bite was packed with flavours, with an incredible crust. The meat was juicy and slightly pink in the centre, with a buttery taste. Our cheeseburger was well balanced, and our Hot Zigzag was super tasty with plenty of spicy ingredients that interacted really well with each other. We also appreciated that the potato bun was so soft, and also properly toasted on the inside. However, we would have liked some more crispy textures, and the burgers were quite small and as the ingredients were mainly in the front, we finished them a bit too fast. The fries were decent, but a bit expensive.

Zigzag Burger clearly serve the best burgers in Västerås and Köping right now, and they are an unmissable destination the next time you’re in Västmanland.

Recension från 18 januari 2021

Recension skriven av Marcus Sjöström

Zigzag Burger startade sin verksamhet på Hökartorget i Köping under sommaren 2020, och den lilla svarta vagnen har snabbt blivit populär bland lokalborna. Utrymmet sätter begränsningar för utbudet, men det innebär också att menyn är föredömligt kort och koncis. Vid vårt besök hade de fyra burgare på menyn samt pommes frites – både vanliga och av sötpotatis. Vi testade både deras signaturburgare Zigzag Original (med ost, tomat, sallad och dressing) och Zigzag Cheese Burger (med ost, pickles, rödlök, senap, ketchup och majonnäs). Dessa kostade 79 kronor för en enkel (115 gram) och 95 kronor för en dubbel (200 gram). Vi testade även en Helgens, med fyra köttpuckar à 50 gram, fyra ostskivor, pickles, senap, ketchup och majonnäs för 100 kronor, samt pommes frites för 30 kronor.

Allting paketerades i takeaway-format, så burgarna såg inte nödvändigtvis snygga ut, men det fanns mycket som direkt skvallrade om att Zigzag gjort sin hemläxa. Burgarna serverades i rostade och varma potatisbröd, köttet hade en tydlig och rejäl stekyta, och det var en generös mängd med toppings. Eftersom bröden inte är särskilt stora så blev det aningen trångt i burgarna, så främre halvan av burgaren bjöd på allt medan den bakre halvan mest bestod av bröd, kött och ost. Men allt var gott, med tydliga smaker, välbalanserade ingredienser och bra textur. Deras egen dressing var dock lite anonym och köttet kunde ha varit saftigare, och vår favorit var deras klassiska cheeseburgare. Pommes fritesen smakade gott och hade en krispig yta, och var värda sitt pris.

Zigzag Burger gör sin grej riktigt bra, och vi är överlyckliga över att det nu går att få riktigt goda hamburgare på ännu fler platser runt om i Sverige. Missa dem inte om du befinner dig i närheten av Köping. Eller Västerås för den delen.

Zigzag Burger first opened on Hökartorget in the Swedish town of Köping during the summer of 2020, and the small, black food wagon has quickly become a favourite among the townsfolk. Their small working area has some limits, but this also means that their menu is nice and short. They had four burgers for sale during our visit, plus regular and sweet potato fries. We ordered their signature burger ”Zigzag Original” (with cheese, tomato, lettuce and sauce) and a ”Zigzag Cheese Burger” (with cheese, pickles, red onion, ketchup, mustard and mayo). They cost 79 SEK (9 USD) for a single 115-gram patty and 95 SEK (11 USD) for a double burger (200 grams). We also tried a ”Helgens” with four 50-gram patties, four slices of cheese, pickles, mustard, ketchup and mayo for 100 SEK (12 USD) plus regular fries for 30 SEK (3.5 USD).

All of their burgers come packaged takeout style, so they didn’t look their absolute best. But it was clear that Zigzag have done their homework; the potato buns were warm and toasty, the patties had a deep and crispy crust and there were plenty of toppings. Due to the small size of the buns, our burgers felt a bit cramped, and practically all of the toppings were crammed into the front half, and the back part just contained bread, beef and cheese. But everything tasted really nice, with distinct flavours, well-balanced ratios and great textures. Their homemade sauce could have tasted a bit more and we would have preferred juicier beef patties, and our favourite burger was their classic cheese burger. Their fries were crispy on the outside and well worth the money.

Zigzag Burger are really good at what they do, and were super happy to see yet another place in Sweden where we can get a really good hamburger. Don’t miss them if you’re anywhere near Köping. Or Västerås, for that matter.

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.
