Rejäla burgare i den lilla staden

Me and McGee’s öppnade i början av 2017 mittemot stadshotellet i Söderhamn, och har länge varit den enda renodlade hamburgerrestaurangen i staden. Vi har fått massor av tips om dem genom åren, och var självklart förväntansfulla när vi besökte den lite rockiga restaurangen, som inretts med mysig belysning och vinylskivor på väggarna. Den dignande menyn bjöd på tiotalet köttburgare, och valet föll på en Cheeseburgare med två 90-gramsköttpuckar, cheddar, silverlök, cheddarsås, ketchup och majonnäs och en Janis med en 180-gramsköttpuck, pepper jack-ost, bacon , chili, silverlök, krispsallad och chipotlemajonnäs. Burgarna kostade 179 kronor styck, inklusive pommes frites och en dippsås.

När burgarna anlände reagerade vi direkt på att de genomborrats av en pinne, men när vi tog ut den så började ingredienserna genast glida omkring. Brödet var varmt och mjukt, och hade täckts med ett tunt sesamlager. Det var dessutom fint rostat på insidan och höll ihop väl. Köttet i vår Janis var ganska kompakt, och den hade dessutom en lite stickig hetta som kändes ganska enformig. Även det tjocka baconet var rätt tuggigt. Vår cheeseburgare med sina dubbla köttpuckar var både saftigare och godare, med klassiska smaker. Den var dock ganska mjuk, och hade mått bra av en fräsch och krispig dillpickle. Pommes fritesen var helt klart godkänd, men den medföljande boom boom-dippen var som en rinnig burgardressing och helt klart överflödig.

Me and McGee’s hade nog mått bra av lite mer konkurrens genom åren, och vi skulle gärna ha sett lite mer framåttänk. Men vi är ändå glada över att de verkar ta sina burgare på allvar, och kommer gärna tillbaka för att äta en burgare och insupa den trevliga stämningen.

Me and McGee’s opened in early 2017 opposite Stadshotellet in Söderhamn, and has long been the only dedicated burger joint in town. We’ve received plenty of tips about them over the years, and were excited when we visited them. The restaurant was decorated with cosy lighting and vinyl records on the walls, and their large menu offered ten or so beef burgers. We ordered a Cheeseburger with two 90-gram beef patties, cheddar, white onions, cheddar sauce, ketchup and mayo, and a Janis with a 180-gram beef patty, pepper jack cheese, bacon, chili, white onions, lettuce and a chipotle sauce. The burgers cost 179 SEK each, including fries and a dipping sauce.

The first thing we noticed when our burgers arrived was that they were pierced with a skewer, but when we took it out all the ingredients immediately started sliding around. The bread was warm, soft and covered with a thin layer of sesame seeds. It was also nicely toasted on the inside and held together well. The meat in our Janis was quite compact, and the spicy heat was a bit sharp and monotonous. The thick bacon was also quite chewy. Our cheeseburger with its double beef patties was both juicier and tastier, with classic flavours. But it was quite soft, and would have benefited from a fresh and crispy dill pickle. The fries were perfectly acceptable, but the accompanying boom boom dip was like a runny burger sauce that felt out of place.

Me and McGee’s would probably have benefitted from a little more competition over the years, and we would have liked to see a little more forward thinking. But we’re still happy that they take their burgers seriously, and we’ll gladly come back for another burger and to soak up the friendly atmosphere.

🍔 Review № 1381

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @black_bear_burger ★★★★☆

Black Bear Burger is one of the veterans of the modern burger wave in England, and we have tried their burgers several times since our first review in 2017. Over the years, Black Bear Burger has received more and more attention and hype, both domestically and internationally, and today they are one of the most well-known burger restaurants in all of England. They have locations at nearly 10 places around London, and we visited their restaurant inside the Market Halls Victoria food hall and ordered their Double Miso Bacon Burger – the same burger that won them the National Burger of the Year 2025 award. The burger contained double patties, double cheese, smoked bacon and their miso butter mayo, and it cost 15.8 GBP (21 USD).

The burger looked exactly as we remembered it, with pre-formed patties and a pale bun covered in a generous layer of sesame seeds. The bun was soft and fluffy, but just like on our previous visits, we felt that the crust-like amount of sesame seeds took over both in terms of flavour and texture. The meat was of high quality as always and had a nice and potent dry-aged character that they are known for. The meat could have been juicier though, as it felt a bit too compact this time. The bacon was super tasty and crispy, just the way we like it, and the onion also contributed a nice texture. Their miso butter mayo was very flavourful with its buttery, salty, and umami-rich taste, but together with the bacon and the beef, the overall flavour profile was a bit too salty. We would have liked to see some kind of freshness to break up the saltiness for a more complete experience.

We are very happy that a veteran like Black Bear Burger continues to deliver high-quality burgers year after year, and they are still a safe bet when you are craving a really good burger in London.
