Helsingburger öppnade sin första restaurang redan 2017, och vi har recenserat dem flera gånger genom åren. Nu senast var vi på deras stora flaggskeppsrestaurang utanför Helsingborg, som var trevligt inredd med mycket trä- och läderdetaljer. Vi hade lite svårt att hitta två klockrena burgare, för många av menyalternativen var snarlika med bara någon ingrediens som skiljde dem åt. Men efter att ha trilskats lite med beställningsskärmen – och i brist på en klassisk cheeseburgare – så beställde vi en dubbel New York med cheddar, bacon, sallad, rödlök, pickles och honungssrirachamajonnäs och en dubbel Chiliburgare med cheddar, picklad rödlök, sallad, jalapeños, pickles och chilimajonnäs. En meny med pommes frites och läsk kostade 129 kronor på lunchen, plus 34 kronor för en extra köttpuck.

Våra burgare visade en klar förbättring jämfört med vårt senaste besök. Köttet hade en rejäl crust som var lite knaprig men ändå krispig och väldigt smakrik. Detta var tack vare de rejäla mängderna salt och peppar. Och att beställa burgarna med dubbelt kött var helt klart rätt beslut. Brödet var dessutom välrostat och riktigt följsamt när vi plockade upp burgaren. Vår New York hade ett väldigt gott och krispigt bacon, men honungssrirachamajonnäsen höll sig i bakgrunden och kom inte riktigt till sin rätt. Chiliburgaren var desto roligare i smaken, med mycket variation och flera typer av hetta – även om den hade kunnat vara ännu hetare. Köttet på båda burgarna borde ha fått vila lite innan montering, för både salladen och de annars goda picklesen blev lite tråkiga av att ha värmts upp. Och löken hade gett mer krispighet om den varit tjockare. Pommes fritesen var välfriterade och ordentligt kryddade, och portionen var riktigt mättande.

Helsingburger visar styrkan i att inte sluta utvecklas, och vi blev väldigt glada över att en av Skånes veteraner gjort en så här pass stark comeback.

In English

Helsingburger opened their first restaurant back in 2017, and we have reviewed them several times over the years. This time around, we visited their large flagship restaurant outside Helsingborg, which was nicely decorated with lots of wood and leather details. We had a little trouble finding two perfect burgers, as many of the menu options were very similar, with only a few ingredients setting them apart. But after fiddling around a bit with the ordering screen – and in the absence of a classic cheeseburger – we ordered a double New York with cheddar, bacon, lettuce, red onions, pickles and a honey sriracha mayo, plus a double Chili Burger with cheddar, pickled red onions, lettuce, jalapeños, pickles and chili mayo. A menu with fries and soda cost 129 SEK (14 USD) during lunch, plus 34 SEK (3.5 USD) for an extra patty.

Our burgers showed a clear improvement compared to our last visit. The double beef patties had a thick crust that was slightly crunchy yet crispy and very flavourful. This was also thanks to the generous amounts of salt and pepper. And ordering the double patty burgers was definitely the right decision, ratio wise. The buns were also well toasted and really soft when we picked them up. Our New York had very tasty and crispy bacon, but the honey sriracha mayo was pretty anonymous and didn’t really come into its own. The Chili Burger was more enjoyable in terms of flavour, with lots of variety and several types of heat – although it could have been even spicier. The meat on both burgers ought to have rested a bit before assembly, as both the lettuce and the otherwise tasty pickles got pretty soggy from being heated up. And the onions would also have been crispier if they had been thicker. Our french fries were well cooked and properly seasoned, and the portion was really filling.

Helsingburger shows the strength of constantly evolving, and we are very happy to see one of Skåne’s veterans making such a strong comeback.

Gott utan gnista.

Hamburgerkedjan Helsingburger startade redan 2017 i Helsingborg, och har sedan dess expanderat till tio restauranger i Göteborg, Malmö, Trelleborg och Ängelholm. Vi besökte dem för första gången år 2020, och ansåg då att de bjöd på riktigt goda burgare gjorda med lokala råvaror. Under vårt senaste besök i Ängelholm passade vi på att besöka deras lilla lokal för att se hur kvaliteten förändrats sedan sist. Menyn var sig lik, med tiotalet köttburgare och en handfull alternativ med vegopuckar, kyckling och fisk. Valet föll denna gång på en Ostburgare med cheddar, lök, sallad, saltgurka och husets dressing för 104 kronor.

Burgaren serverades kort efter beställningen och såg riktigt trevlig ut med sin fint smälta ost som kontrasterade fint mot de färgsprakande grönsakerna. Köttet hade en stabil smakbild och en hög fetthalt som gjorde den välsmakande, men stekytan var lite för tunn och själva köttet var ganska mjukt och löst. Brödet hade värmts upp fint och både smakade gott och var ganska följsamt i handen. Det stora salladsbladet stack ut en del från burgaren och var ganska kallt, och även om vi gillade crunchet och dillsmaken i deras pickles så var den mer söt än salt. Vi åt upp burgaren ganska fort, men blev lite besvikna över att kvaliteten har sjunkit något sedan vårt senaste besök.

Helsingburger serverar fortfarande stabila burgare och vi var överlag nöjda med vårt besök. Men med tanke på att vi tidigare rankat dem som en av Sveriges 100 bästa burgare så hade vi förväntat oss något lite vassare än vad vi fick. Vi hoppas att de återfår gnistan igen!

The burger chain Helsingburger started back in 2017 in Helsingborg and has since expanded to ten restaurants in Gothenburg, Malmö, Trelleborg och Ängelholm. We visited them for the first time in 2020, and found that they offered really good burgers made with local ingredients. During our latest visit to Ängelholm, we took the opportunity to visit their small premises to see how the quality has changed since last time. The menu was the same, with ten beef burgers and a handful of options with vegetarian, chicken and fish patties. This time we chose a Ostburgare with cheddar, onion, lettuce, pickles and house sauce for 104 SEK (10 USD).

Our burger arrived shortly after ordering and looked really nice with its melted cheese that contrasted nicely with the colourful vegetables. The patty had a nice beefy flavour and a high fat content that made it tasty, but the crust was a bit too weak and the beef itself was quite soft and loose. The bun had been toasted nicely, and was both tasty and felt nice in our hand. The large lettuce leaf stuck out a bit from the burger and was cold, and although we liked the crunch and dill flavour of their pickles, they were more sweet than salty. We finished our burger pretty quickly, but were a little disappointed that the quality had dropped slightly since our last visit.

Helsingburger still serves solid burgers and we were generally satisfied with our visit. But considering that we previously ranked them as one of Sweden’s 100 best burgers, we had expected something a little sharper than what we got. We hope that they regain their spark once again!

Med guldkant i Skåne.

Helsingburger började som en blygsam kiosk i Helsingborg under 2017 men har sedan dess växt till mer än en handfull hamburgerställen i Skåne, runtom Malmö samt Trelleborg och Ängelholm. De finns även i Göteborg numera, med ett uttalat kvalitetsfokus med enbart lokala ingredienser, bland annat högrev från Sjöbo Slakteri. Vid vårt besök på restaurangen i Helsingborg erbjöds elva olika hamburgare med både vegetariska och veganska alternativ. Vi valde en ost- och baconburgare som innehöll en högrevspuck på 160 gram, cheddar, bacon, sallad, schalottenlök, ketchup och husets dressing. Priset under lunchen var 109 kronor, och då ingick pommes frites, läsk och en dippsås.

Hamburgaren såg inbjudande ut när den anlände, med fint smält cheddar och ett varmt och greppvänligt bröd. Vi trodde först att de hade glömt bort det knaperstekta baconet, men såg vi att den låg gömd under osten. Köttet var saftigt och hade en härlig köttsmak och passade utmärkt ihop med den krämiga cheddarn. Schalottenlöken var ett välkommet avbrott från de vanliga gula eller röda varianterna vi är vana vid, och både ketchupen och dressingen var i lagom mängd. Överlag så var vi väldigt nöjda med vår burgare, även om dressingen var lite mesig och gärna hade fått smaka mer. Brödet var godkänt, men hade gärna fått vara lite mjukare och fluffigare. Och vi hade gärna sett något med lite mer syra som bröt av smakerna, t.ex. några dillpickles.

Men med det sagt så var burgaren riktigt god och priserna var klart godkända. Vi hoppas på att se Helsingburger-restauranger även utanför Skåne i framtiden, så att fler personer får testa deras hamburgare.

Helsingburger started out as a modest grill kiosk in the Swedish town of Helsingborg back in 2017, and has now grown to more than a handful burger joints in the Skåne region, with several locations in Malmö. They have a clear focus on quality, with local ingredients such as chuck from Sjöbo Slakteri. During our visit to their Helsingborg restaurant they had 11 different burgers, including vegetarian and vegan options. We ordered their cheese and bacon burger that contained a 160 gram chuck patty, cheddar, bacon, lettuce, shallots, ketchup och a house sauce. The price during lunch hours was 109 SEK (13 USD), including fries, a soft drink and a dip.

The burger looked really tasty, with nicely melted cheddar and a warm and sturdy bun. At first we thought that they’d forgotten our cirspy bacon, but it was just hidden under the cheese. The patty was juicy and tasted nice and beefy; a perfect fit with the creamy cheddar. We also appreciated the novelty of using shallots instead of regular red or yellow onion, and there was a reasonable amount of both ketchup and burger sauce. Overall we were really happy with our burger, even though the burger sauce was a bit bland and could have had a bit more kick to it. The bun was alright, but should have tasted more and been a bit fluffier. And some acidity would have been nice as well, such as dill pickles or something similar.

But with that being said we enjoyed our hamburger, and the price-point was excellent. Fingers crossed that Helsingburger expands outside Skåne so that more people get to taste their burgers.

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.
