Holy Subs började sin resa 2023 en bit utanför Norrtälje, och vi testade dem för första gången 2024. Numera står de parkerade längs Stockholmsvägen, och på menyn finns flera mackor samt sju köttburgare. Vi beställde en dubbel Holy Cheese med ost, hackad lök, pickles, majonnäs, senap och ketchup samt en dubbel Spicy Bacon Jam med ost, majonnäs och baconsylt. Burgarna kostade 159 kronor styck, inklusive pommes frites.

Burgarna såg riktigt kladdiga och inbjudande ut. De dubbla 100-gramsköttpuckarna hade en glansig crust som gav vika för ett mört och saftigt inre. Vid våra tidigare besök hade vi upplevt en något ojämn stekyta mellan puckarna, men nu var det konsekvent krispigt, saftigt och otroligt smakrikt på båda burgarna. Sesambrödet var dessutom välrostat och stod emot köttsafterna väl. Cheeseburgaren var ganska kladdigt ihopbyggd, men utseendet till trots var det en välbalanserad burgare med krispiga pickles och en tydlig senapston. Löken hade dock gärna fått vara lite grövre hackad för att bidra med mer textur. Baconsylten, som gjorts på bacon, stekt lök och jalapeños, var söt och kladdig, men hade gärna fått bjuda på lite mer hetta. Däremot fanns det gott om både sötma och umami, vilket gifte sig fint med köttsmaken. Båda burgarna gjorde sig mycket bra som dubbla och vi tyckte proportionerna satt precis där de skulle. Pommes fritesen var goda, men något bleka och hade gärna fått stanna lite längre i fritösen. Trots det var måltiden klart prisvärd och vi lämnade med mätta magar, kladdiga fingrar och ett leende på läpparna.

Alla som passerar Norrtälje på väg ut mot Roslagen bör svänga in till Holy Subs för ett stopp, och då vi hört rykten om att de dessutom ska lägga till tacos på menyn så finns det ännu fler anledningar att besöka dem inom kort.

In English

Holy Subs started their journey in 2023 a little outside of Norrtälje, and we tried them for the first time in 2024. Now they are parked along Stockholmsvägen, and the menu features several sandwiches as well as seven beef burgers. We ordered a double Holy Cheese with cheese, chopped onion, pickles, mayo, ketchup and mustard, as well as a double Spicy Bacon Jam with cheese, mayo and bacon jam. The burgers cost 159 SEK (17 USD) each, including fries.

Our burgers looked really messy and inviting. The double 100-gram patties had a shiny crust that gave way to a tender and juicy interior. During our previous visits, we had experienced a somewhat uneven cooking surface between the patties, but this time it was consistently crispy, juicy and incredibly flavourful on both burgers. The sesame bun was also well-toasted and held up well against the meat juices. The cheeseburger was quite messy in its construction, but despite its appearance, it was a well-balanced burger with crispy pickles and a distinct mustard flavour. The onion, however, would have been better if it had been chopped a bit coarser to add more texture. The bacon jam, made with bacon, fried onions and jalapeños, was sweet and messy, but it would have been nice if it had offered a bit more heat. However, there was plenty of both sweetness and umami, which went well with the flavour of the meat. Both burgers were excellent with double patties, and the ratios were just right. The fries were good, but a bit pale and should have stayed in the fryer a bit longer. Nevertheless, the meal was definitely worth the price, and we left with full stomachs, messy fingers and a smile on our faces.

Anyone passing by Norrtälje on their way to Roslagen should stop by Holy Subs for a bite, and since we’ve heard rumours that they’re going to add tacos to the menu, there should be even more reasons to visit them soon.

Holy Moly.

Holy Subs är en matvagn i närheten av Norrtälje. De öppnade i slutet av 2023, och sedan dess har vi fått regelbundna tips om att besöka dem. På menyn hittade vi sju olika burgare och några mackor, vilket gav en förklaring till deras namn. Vi beställde en dubbel Holy Cheese med ost, hackad lök, pickles, majonnäs, senap och ketchup och en dubbel Spicy Bacon Jam med ost, majonnäs och en baconsylt gjord på stekt lök, jalapeños och bacon. Båda dubbelburgarna innehöll två köttpuckar 100-gramköttpuckar och kostade 129 kronor styck, och i priset ingick dessutom pommes frites. Vi köpte även två dippsåser för 10 kronor vardera.

Burgarna serverades i lådor och såg riktigt snygga ut med rejäla mängder välsmält ost. Köttet var mört, men vi blev lite besvikna över att vår cheeseburgare hade mycket bättre crust än baconburgaren. Köttet var som tur var välkryddat och hade en riktigt god köttsmak. Brödet hade rostats litet grand, men det räckte inte riktigt för att stå emot köttsafterna. På grund av detta så blev både kronan och hälen genomblöta under måltidens gång. Cheeseburgaren hade en utmärkt smakbalans, och proportionerna var väl avvägda, men vi hade gärna sett lite fler krispiga texturer än löken för att göra den mindre mjuk. Baconsylten i vår Spicy Bacon Jam var utsökt med precis lagom sötma, hetta och sälta, men även den burgaren var lite för mjuk för sitt eget bästa. Pommes fritesen var välfriterade om än något översaltade, och här var vi väldigt nöjda med att ha beställt deras smakrika och prisvärda vitlöks- och chilidippar.

Holy Subs har satt smakerna, så nu hoppas vi bara att de finslipar menyn och jobbar mer med texturerna. Men de är redan nu ett självklart stopp nästa gång du befinner dig i närheten av Norrtälje.

Holy Subs is a food cart just outside of Norrtälje. They opened at the end of 2023, and since then we have received regular recommendations to visit them. On their menu we found seven different burgers and some sandwiches, which gave an explanation for their name. We ordered a double Holy Cheese with cheese, chopped onions, pickles, mayo, ketchup and mustard and a double Spicy Bacon Jam with cheese, mayo and a bacon jam made with fried onions, jalapeños and bacon. Both double burgers contained two 100-gram beef patties and cost 129 (12.5 USD) each, and the price also included fries. We also bought two dipping sauces for 10 SEK (1 USD) each.

Our burgers came served in boxes and looked really nice with generous amounts of well-melted cheese. The patties were tender, but we were a little disappointed that our cheeseburger had a much nicer crust than the bacon burger. Fortunately, the meat was well seasoned and had a really nice beefy flavour. The bun had been toasted a bit, but it wasn’t quite enough to withstand the meat juices. Because of this, both the crown and the heel got soaked during the meal. The cheeseburger had an excellently balanced flavour, and the proportions were well thought out, but we would have liked to see a little more crunch than the onion to make it less soft. The bacon jam in our Spicy Bacon Jam was delicious with just the right amount of sweetness, heat and saltiness, but it was also a little too soft for its own good. The fries were well cooked if slightly oversalted, and here we were very pleased to have ordered their flavoursome and affordable garlic and chilli dips.

Holy Subs have nailed the flavours, so now we just hope they refine their menu and work more on the textures. But they are already well worth visiting the next time you find yourself near Norrtälje.

🍔 Review № 1397

🇺🇸 @localtide ★★★★☆

Local Tide is a hyped fish restaurant in central Seattle. And while most of the menu focuses on seafood, their burger has also become a bit of a talking point. They don’t take reservations, and when we arrived there were around 20 people queuing outside the small restaurant, with an hour-long wait. Luckily, there was space next door at Aslan Brewing, which served their burger and a handful of other dishes from Local Tide. We ordered their Smash Burger with beef, cheese, caramelised onions and mayo in a brioche bun for 10 USD, as well as a portion of Salt and Pepper Fries for 8 USD. We also tried their Salmon Sando for 16 USD.

After waiting around an hour for our food, our burger arrived neatly presented on a small plate. The bun looked a little flat but was lighter and fluffier than we’d expected. The beef was incredibly juicy and well salted, while the cheese was both creamy and flavourful. The caramelised onions were packed with umami and really enhanced the flavour of the beef. Both the bun and beef had a decent crust, although both could’ve been cooked a little more. Our main critique was that the burger would’ve been even better with a few more crispy components, and perhaps a bit bigger. The fries were like potato wedges and were incredibly well cooked. The generous portion was crispy and well seasoned, and their homemade ketchup was really tasty. The 16 USD salmon burger also impressed us with its fresh salmon fillet, great textures and fresh flavours.

It’s great to see a seafood restaurant serving burgers as good as the ones at Local Tide. The other seafood dishes are of course also worth trying, but make sure to arrive early and be prepared to wait a while for your food.
