Minikedjan 08 Burger & Kebab öppnade sin första enhet redan 2019, och har numera vuxit till hela sex kiosker runtom i Stockholms förorter, främst i södra delarna av huvudstaden men även i Bromma, Täby och Järna. Här varvas smashburgare och kebab med korv och andra gatuköksklassiker. Vi har testat dem flera gånger genom åren, och har nu besökt ett par av deras enheter på senare tid. Där beställde vi bland annat en dubbel Ost & Bacon Burgare med ost, bacon, sallad, tomat, pickles, lök, senap och ketchup. Den kostade 149 kronor för en dubbelburgare med 200 gram kött, inklusive pommes frites, en läsk och en chilibea-dipp.

Burgarna serverades prydligt i takeaway-förpackningar och allt hade hållt ihop väl när de packades upp. Proportionerna var ganska maffiga, där det välsmashade köttet stack ut en del över kanterna. Själva brödet var dock inte särskilt följsamt, och när det väl tryckts ihop så studsade det inte tillbaka. Stekytan på köttet var godkänd, men vi hade inte sagt nej till lite mer salt och peppar. Osten var välsmält och god, och burgaren innehöll en rejäl mängd krispigt bacon som verkligen uppskattades. Tyvärr så använde de fortfarande vanlig svensk gatukökssenap i stället för en gul senap, vilket verkligen drog ner helhetsintrycket. Annars innehöll burgaren lite majonnäs i botten som inte nämndes i menyn, och grönsakerna var fräscha om än något kalla och grovt hackade. Pommes fritesen var krispiga och goda, och vi uppskattade den stora portionen. Även dippsåsen var smakrik, men också lite rinnig.

08 Burger & Kebab serverar fortfarande klart godkända smashburgare till ett förhållandevis rimligt pris. Och med tanke på att de numera finns lite överallt runt om i Stockholm så är de ett stabilt val nästa gång du befinner dig i närheten av någon av deras gatukök.

The mini-chain 08 Burger & Kebab opened their first unit back in 2019, and has since grown to six grill kiosks around Stockholm’s suburbs, mainly in the southern parts of the capital but also in Bromma, Täby and Järna. They offer smashburgers and kebabs alongside sausages and other street food classics. We have tested them several times over the years, and have recently visited a couple of their grill kiosks. There we ordered a double Cheese & Bacon Burger with cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion, ketchup and mustard. It cost 149 SEK (14 USD) for a double burger with 200 grams of beef, including fries, a soft drink and a chili bearnaise dip.

Our burgers were neatly served in takeaway boxes and everything had held together well when we unpacked them. The proportions were quite generous, with the well-smashed patties sticking out a little over the edges. However, the bun itself was not very squishy, and it didn’t bounce back once pressed together. The crust was decent, but we wouldn’t have minded a little more salt and pepper. The cheese was nicely melted, and the burger contained a generous amount of crispy bacon which we really appreciated. Unfortunately, they still used regular Swedish mustard instead of an American yellow mustard, which really dragged down our overall impression. Otherwise, our burger contained some mayo at the bottom which was not mentioned in their menu, and the vegetables were fresh if slightly cold and roughly chopped. The french fries were crispy and tasty, and we appreciated the large portion. The dipping sauce was also flavourful, but a bit runny.

08 Burger & Kebab still serve perfectly fine smashburgers at a reasonable price. And considering that they are now available all over Stockholm, they are a solid choice the next time you are near one of their grill kiosks.

15 februari 2021, 08 Burger & Kebab

Kärrtorps 08 Burger & Kebab har på senare tid dykt upp som en mindre burgarkedja i Stockholms söderort. Deras första restaurang i Bandhagen (tidigare Bandhagens Grill & Kebab) öppnade 2020, och under 2021 har de expanderat till Kärrtorp och Farsta Centrum.

Vi beställde en 200-grams ost- och baconburgare med pommes frites och läsk för 109 kronor. Den innehöll två högrevspuckar à 100 gram, ost, sallad, rödlök, pickles, senap och ketchup. Köttet var riktigt gott och välkryddat, och osten hade verkligen smält ordentligt så att smaken maximerades. Baconet var ganska mjukt, men hade ändå en rejäl rökig sälta som lyfte smakerna. Brödet var dock lite torrt och tråkigt, och var smuligt i kanterna. Grönsakerna var krispiga, men isbergssalladen var lite kall och sänkte temperaturen på burgaren. Och precis som på sin syskonrestaurang så använde de vanlig gatukökssenap, vilket verkligen sänkte smaken och upplevelsen. Som tur var så handlade det om ganska små mängder här, så det märktes inte i varje tugga. Pommes fritesen var av vanlig grillkioskkvalitet, men den lyftes ändå av den medföljande chilibearnaisesåsen, som tillförde lite härlig hetta.

08 Burger & Kebab serverar en klart godkänd hamburgare, och kvaliteten är ungefär i paritet med deras andra gatukök. De är i alla fall klart bäst i Kärrtorp just nu, och ett enkelt val nästa gång du är i närheten och är sugen på en burgare. I Bandhagen och Farsta har de dock vassare konkurrens, men är ändå ett prisvärt alternativ.

08 Burger & Kebab is a small chain of burger kiosks in the south parts of Stockholm. Their first kiosk in Bandhagen (previously Bandhagens Grill & Kebab) has now expanded into two more; in Kärrtorp and Farsta Centrum.

We ordered a 200 gram Cheese and Bacon Burger with fries and a soft drink for 109 SEK (13 USD). It contained two 100-gram chuck patties, cheese, lettuce, red onions, pickles, ketchup and mustard. The beef was really good and nicely seasoned, and the cheese was properly melted and really brought out the flavours. The bacon was quite soft, but had a satisfying smokey saltiness that really lifted the flavours. The bun was quite dry and boring though. We liked the crispy vegetables, but the iceberg lettuce was a bit too cold for our liking. And just like in their sibling restaurant they used regular grill kiosk mustard, which messed up the overall flavour of the burger. Thankfully there wasn’t that much of it, so we didn’t notice it in every bite and it didn’t ruin our meal. The French fries were of the regular grill kiosk fare, but were livened up by the included chili bearnaise sauce that added some nice heat.

08 Burger & Kebab make a pretty decent burger, and the price-point and quality was about the same as we’d experienced at their other location. They’re definitely the best alternative in Kärrtorp right now, and are an obvious choice next time you’re close and hungry for a burger. Bandhagen and Farsta have other strong contenders, but they are at least a very cheap alternative.

🇸🇪 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.

🇸🇪 @rollinbistrosbackyard ★★★★☆

Rollin Bistros started out as a food truck in 2014 and opened their Backyard in Gamlestaden, Gothenburg, in 2020, which we visited shortly afterwards. Since 2024, they’ve also served our favourite burger in Gothenburg. One thing that’s consistent at Rollin Bistros is the craftsmanship, which was evident in both the food and the huge yet intimate venue. During our latest visit, we ordered two burgers: a double Classic Cheese with two smashed patties, cheddar, white onions, dill pickles and burger sauce for 220 SEK (22 USD), as well as the bistro-style Home Run with just one thick beef patty and cheese for 195 SEK (19.5 USD). We also ordered a portion of teriyaki onion rings for 95 SEK (9.5 USD).

It’s always a bold move to serve a burger with just beef, bun and cheese, but the Home Run really let the ingredients shine. The thick beef patty was juicy, with a slightly pink centre and a nice crust. It tasted really good in all its simplicity, although the meat had been salted a little too heavily. The bun from a local bakery was airy, held together well and had a buttery richness that we appreciated. The smashed cheeseburger also had tasty beef, and although it was naturally more well-done, it was still juicy. The cheese was creamy, the onions added a nice texture and the burger sauce was like a more grown-up and mature version of a classic burger sauce. The problem here was their pickles, which were a bit floppy since they were made with regular cucumbers, with a sharp flavour that reminded us more of a Swedish crayfish party than a burger. As always, the star of the menu was their sides, something they’ve never failed at. The onion rings were crispy and served with an addictive teriyaki ripple and an equally fantastic MSG mayo. The soft serve ice-cream also impressed, with interesting toppings such as foie gras and caramel sauce for 115 SEK (11.5 USD) as well as yuzu, toasted sesame seeds and crispy meringues for 75 SEK (7.5 USD).

Rollin Bistros keep flying the flag high on Gothenburg’s burger scene, and we also recommend a visit to Gamlestaden for the sides, desserts and service.
