Efter succésommaren 2025 med Norrtäljes Egen Sommar, som uppmuntrar ungdomar att skapa sina egna sommarjobb, kom den hajpade foodtrucken Messy Burgers tillbaka under sommaren 2026. Det ombyggda hästsläpet rullar runt i kommunen och serverar burgare, och för oss var ett besök givet när vi hade vägarna förbi. Menyn var kort och koncis med fem köttburgare, och vi valde att testa en Cheesus Christ med dubbel ost, gul lök, saltgurka, senap och ketchup samt en The Gut Buster med ost, sallad, karamelliserad rödlök, gul lök, saltgurka och baconmajonnäs. Båda burgarna innehöll dubbla 100-gramsköttpuckar, och kostade 149 kronor styck som menyer med läsk, potatisbullepommes och pommeskrydda.

Vi slog oss ner vid de färgglada borden och väntade. Köttet hade kanske inte den glansiga stekytan vi vi hoppats på, men det var förvånansvärt mört, lagom salt och bjöd på en riktigt saftig textur. Köttpuckarna stack dock ut lite väl långt utanför brödet, och vi hade gärna sett bättre proportioner. Brödet var ordentligt rostat på ovansidan, men vi hade gärna sett mer färg även på insidan av både krona och häl för bättre hållbarhet. Cheesus Christ smakade som en lyxig version av en klassisk McDonald’s-cheeseburgare, med en tydlig sötma från ketchupen och exemplariskt finhackad gul lök. Vi hade däremot gärna sett en riktig dillpickle i stället för smörgåsgurkan, som dessutom var söt och inte salt. The Gut Buster bjöd på mer nyanserade smaker och var oväntat fräsch. Det hackade baconet i majonnäsen tillförde både sälta och krisp, vilket lyfte burgaren på ett trevligt sätt. Potatisbullepommesen var dessutom en riktig överraskning. Krämiga inuti, härligt krispiga utanpå och generöst kryddade. Här hade de verkligen inte snålat med pommeskryddan.

Messy Burgers serverar prisvärda burgare och vi imponeras av att så unga entreprenörer vågar satsa på sin egen idé. Vi lämnade vagnen med kladdiga fingrar och en förhoppning att de återvänder även 2027.

In English

After the successful summer of 2025 with Norrtäljes Egen Sommar, an initiative encouraging young people to create their own summer jobs, the hyped Messy Burgers food truck returned for the summer of 2026. The converted horse trailer travels around the area serving burgers, and when we found ourselves nearby we had to visit them. The menu was short and concise with five beef burgers, and we decided to try a Cheesus Christ with double cheese, yellow onions, pickles, mustard and ketchup, as well as The Gut Buster with cheese, lettuce, caramelised red onions, yellow onions, pickles and bacon mayo. Both burgers came with double 100-gram beef patties and cost 149 SEK (16 USD) each as meals with a soft drink, potato croquette fries and fries seasoning.

We sat down at the colourful tables and waited. The patties may not have had the glossy crust we had hoped for, but they were surprisingly tender, nicely salted and had a really juicy texture. The patties did extend a little too far beyond the bun, and we would have preferred better proportions. The bun was nicely toasted on top, but we would have liked more colour on the inside of both the crown and heel for better durability. The Cheesus Christ tasted like a more luxurious version of a classic McDonald’s cheeseburger, with distinct sweetness from the ketchup and exceptionally finely chopped yellow onions. However, we would have preferred a proper dill pickle instead of the sweet sandwich pickles. The Gut Buster had more nuanced flavours and was unexpectedly fresh. The chopped bacon in the mayo added both saltiness and crunch, giving the burger a nice lift. The potato croquette fries were another real surprise. Creamy inside, wonderfully crispy on the outside and generously seasoned. They certainly hadn’t held back on the seasoning either.

Messy Burgers serve good-value burgers, and we were impressed to see such young entrepreneurs having the confidence to pursue their own idea. We left the trailer with messy fingers and hoping they will return in 2027.

🍔 Review № 1393

🇸🇪 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.
