8ft Burger

8ft Burger var från början ett koncept med små rosa burgarcontainers som vi på Burgerdudes hjälpte till att utveckla under 2018. Vi kunde såklart inte recensera dem då, men nu efter pandemin så har konceptet återuppstått på flera platser i Stockholm. Eftersom de numera inte enbart kör med containers och har uppdaterade hamburgare så är det inte längre ”våra” burgare de serverar, så det var dags för recension! Vi besökte 8ft Burger på Hornstulls Marknad och beställde en Single Burger Menu. Hamburgaren innehöll 100 gram kött, ost, sallad, lök, pickles, barbecuesås och majonnäs, och både pommes frites och dryck ingick i de 125 kronor vi betalade.

Burgaren såg lovande ut, och kändes bra när vi lyfte upp den, men första tuggan smakade mest bröd. Som en del av uppdateringen har de bytt till ett lite större och märkbart tyngre bröd som tog lite för mycket plats, vilket blev extra märkbart när vår burgare innehöll oväntat lite toppings. Själva köttet var saftigt och smakade riktigt gott med tydlig kryddning. Men smaken av barbecuesås fanns bara i vissa tuggor, och samma sak gällde majonnäsen, löken och deras pickles. Salladen var de dock generösa med. Resultatet blev en burgare där vi fick glimtar av hur bra den kunde ha varit, men där det mesta smakade bröd och sallad. Att våra pommes frites var underfriterade och översaltade blev som en ledsen prick över i:et.

Förutsättningarna för 8ft Burger finns där – det har vi ju själva sett till – men det finns flera detaljer i såväl recept som genomförande som behöver justeras för att de ska skina. Vi hade hoppats att de skulle hitta tillbaka till burgarna de serverade innan pandemin, eller till och med gjort något ännu bättre, men just nu är de bara ett av många ganska bra burgarställen i Stockholm.

In the beginning, 8ft Burger was a concept with small, pink burger containers that we at Burgerdudes helped develop back in 2018. Of course, we couldn’t review them back then, but now after the pandemic they’ve relaunched in several places in Stockholm. Since they no longer are tied to the container concept and have updated their burgers we felt that they no longer serve ”our” burgers, so it was about time that we gave them a proper review. We visited 8ft Burger at the food market Hornstulls Marknad and ordered a Single Burger Menu. Our hamburger contained a 100-gram beef patty, cheese, lettuce, onions, pickles, BBQ sauce and mayo, and both french fries and a soft drink were included in the 125 SEK (12.5 USD) we paid.

Our burger looked really promising and felt great when we picked it up, but despite this our first bite mainly tasted of bread. As part of their update, they’ve switched to a larger and heavier bun that took over far too much. This was even more apparent seeing as they’d been very miserly with the other toppings. The beef patty was nice and juicy, and had been seasoned really well, but we could only taste the BBQ sauce in some bites, and the same thing could also be said about the mayo, onions and pickles. They were generous with the lettuce though. The end result was a burger that gave us hints on how good it could be, but that mainly tested of bread and lettuce. The fact that our french fries were undercooked and too salty was a bit of a sad ending to our meal.

8ft Burger has the potential to be great – we’ve seen to that, after all – but they need to nail several recipe and cooking details if they really want to shine. We had hoped that they would return to (or even improve upon) their pre-pandemic burgers, but right now they’re just one of many ”quite good” burger joints in Stockholm.

🇦🇪 @she_burger ★★★★☆

She Burger is a restaurant chain with several locations in Dubai and around the Middle East, and they participated in the Dubai Burger Championship 2026. The burger they served at the festival was the same name as the restaurant, She Burger, and it consisted of two smashed beef patties, roasted onions, veal bacon jam with a lot of coffee, and their signature sauce for 60 AED (16.5 USD).

We immediately felt that the burger had a very international appearance when we saw it, and it offered a well-shaped brioche bun, plenty of toppings, double meat patties. The bun was soft and had a good size, but the heel would have been able to handle the beef juices better if they’d let the patties rest before assembly. The Black Angus meat had a strong meat flavour with a robust seasoning, but we felt that the crust should have been more pronounced and that the meat could have been even juicier. The fried onion was texturally brilliant, and it added both flavour and a lovely crunch that the burger really needed. The veal bacon jam was incredibly good and had a much more mature taste than we are normally used to. It was very coffee heavy, which we really appreciated. On the other hand, the signature sauce was completely anonymous and didn’t make any real impression.

She Burger do a lot right with this burger, but they need to refine the details and the meat to really make it a winner. But that being said, they offer one of the better burgers in Dubai.

🇸🇪 @thellas_foodtruck ★★★★☆

Thellas is a food truck in Gävle that we’ve heard a lot of positive things about since they opened in 2024. The menu at the time of our visit consisted of four beef burgers and a vegetarian option. We chose the classic ”Thellas Cheese” cheeseburger with double burger cheese, silver onions, dill pickles, ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise. A single patty burger cost 115 SEK (12.5 USD), but we ordered a double 120-gram patty burger with for 145 SEK (15.5 USD) and also added 30 SEK (3 USD) for french fries and 15 SEK (1.5 USD) for a chili mayo.

There was a long line of people waiting for their food, and when the burger was served we were greeted by a well-composed and inviting cheeseburger. The first bite was incredibly flavourful and juicy, with a very clear crust on the patties. The beef was well-seasoned with a generous amount of coarsely ground black pepper. And the creamy cheese was delicious and nicely melted over the beef. Unfortunately, the bun was a bit of a disappointment, because despite looking good, it had been toasted for too long on the grill and lacked the fluffy texture we expect from a brioche bun. Their own-pickled cucumber was delicious and added both acidity and crunch, and we would have liked to see more of it so that it was spread over the entire burger. All the sauces did their job without standing out and were also in the right amount, without any one of them overpowering the others. We also liked the generous portion of crispy french fries, and the smoky chilli mayo was tasty – although it could have been a bit spicier.

Thellas undoubtedly serve one of the better burgers we’ve eaten in Gävle, and the service from the guys in the food truck was excellent as well. We definitely recommend keeping an eye on their schedule and visiting them if you’re in the area.
