Bambamburgers ligger i Barkarbystaden i norra Stockholm, och vi blev imponerade av deras burgare när vi testade dem för första gången 2021. På menyn hittade vi 15 burgare samt kebab, kyckling och vegetariska alternativ, och vi beställde en Barkarby BBQ Burger med pepperjackost, lökringar och BBQ-sås samt en On Fire med lök, sallad, jalapeños och chipotlemajonnäs. Våra dubbelburgare med två 100-gramsköttpuckar kostade 125 kronor styck under lunchen, och då ingick även pommes frites och en läsk.

Burgarna såg väldigt aptitretande ut när de serverades i pappersfickor, tillsammans med en rejäl portion pommes frites. Ration mellan kött och bröd var exemplarisk, och vår första tugga bekräftade att mängden ingredienser var välbalanserad. Köttets snygga stekyta var rejält tilltagen, vilket bidrog till en härlig krispighet, och den väl avvägda kryddningen lyfte smakbilden och gjorde varje tugga riktigt god. Briochebrödet på en av våra burgare var något bränd på undersidan av hälen, men det störde inte nämnvärt och utöver detta så var det gott, mjukt och följsamt. Den generösa mängden BBQ-sås på vår Barkarby BBQ Burger tog dock över lite för mycket, och vi hade svårt att urskilja några andra smaker än den väldigt söta smaken. Krispigheten från lökringarna kom dock till undsättning, med lite välkommen variation. Vår On Fire-burgare var mycket trevligare, och där kom varje enskild komponent mer till sin rätt. Vi gillade den rejäla hettan från jalapeñon och avrundningen som chipotlemajonnäsen bidrog med. Pommes fritesen var också mycket trevliga, med en fint krispig textur och en tydlig potatissmak som vi verkligen uppskattade.

Bambamburgers serverar fortfarande riktigt bra och prisvärda burgare, och om du befinner dig i området kring Barkarbystaden är detta helt klart burgarna som du ska lägga dina pengar på.

In English

Bambamburgers are located in Barkarbystaden in the north of Stockholm, and we were impressed by their burgers when we first tried them in 2021. Their menu featured 15 burgers as well as kebabs, chicken and vegetarian items, and we ordered a Barkarby BBQ Burger with pepperjack cheese, onion rings and BBQ sauce and an On Fire with onions, lettuce, jalapeños and chipotle mayonnaise. Our double burgers with two 100-gram patties cost 125 SEK (11.5 USD) each during their lunch hours, and also included french fries and a soft drink.

Our burgers looked very appetising when they arrived in paper pockets, along with a generous portion of fries. The beef to bun ratio was exemplary, and our first bite confirmed a well balanced amount of ingredients. The patties had a great crust which created a lovely crispiness, and the well-balanced seasoning elevated the flavours and made every bite enjoyable. The brioche bun on one of our burgers was slightly burnt on the underside of the heel, but it didn’t bother us too much and apart from that it was soft and tasty. However, the generous amount of BBQ sauce on our Barkarby BBQ Burger took over a little too much, and we had a hard time identifying any other flavours than this very sweet flavour. The crunchiness of the onion rings came to the rescue, with some much-needed variety. Our On Fire burger was much more enjoyable, with each individual component coming into its own. We especially liked the heat from the jalapeño and the roundedness of the chipotle mayonnaise. The fries were also very good, with a nice crispy texture and a distinct potato flavour that we really appreciated.

Bambamburgers still serve really good and affordable burgers, and if you’re in the Barkarbystaden area, this is definitely the burger joint to visit.

Recension från 01 november 2021

Recension skriven av Selin Safer

Bambamburgers är ett litet anonymt hak mitt i Stockholmsförorten Barkarbystaden. På menyn finns tio olika burgare samt falafel, kebab och några andra rätter. Även om deras Monster-burgare lockade med sina fem 100-gramspuckar så valde vi till slut en Triple Burger med tre modesta köttpuckar à 100 gram, samt ost, tomat, sallad och orginaldressing, och den kostade 139 kronor. Vi beställde dessutom en dubbel Barkarby BBQ Burger med 200 gram kött, med pepperjack-ost, lökringar och barbecuesås för 110 kronor. Pommes frites ingick i priset.

När hamburgarna serverades fick vi en liten klump i magen ändå. Skulle de verkligen leva upp till våra förhoppningar? Visuellt så anade vi problem, då proportionerna kändes överdådiga och köttet såg lite kompakt ut, men döm av vår förvåning när vi vid första tuggan möttes av en otroligt mör och smakrik köttsmocka. Stekytan var rejäl, samtidigt som färsen var mjuk och och hade en tydlig köttsmak. Våra orosmoln kring proportionerna var också som bortblåsta, och till och med 300-grammaren kändes väldigt balanserad. Tyvärr var det för mycket sås på BBQ-burgaren, så den lite för söta smaken tog över för mycket. Även originaldressingen på vår Triple Burger var lite för söt, men i övrigt var smakerna utmärkta. I trippelburgaren gav bottenbrödet upp framåt slutet av måltiden, vår dubbelburgare klarade sig fint, så vi anar att det var salladen som var boven i dramat. Pommes fritesen var nästan perfekt krispiga, och vi åt upp alla trots att vi var ganska mätta.

Utöver att vi vill hylla den prisvärda måltiden så vill vi även lyfta fram den otroligt trevliga personalen. Vi lämnade Bambamburgers både mätta och belåtna över att det äntligen finns ett trevligt alternativ i det annars ganska svältfödda Järfälla.

Bambamburgers is a small and quite anonymous burger joint in the Stockholm suburb Barkarbystaden. Their menu includes 10 different burgers, plus falafel, kebab and a few other dishes. And even though we were intrigued by their Monster Burger with five 100-gram patties we finally opted for a Triple Burger with three 100-gram patties, plus cheese, tomato, lettuce and burger sauce costing 139 SEK (16 USD). We also ordered a double Barkarby BBQ Burger with 200 grams of beef, pepper jack cheese, onion rings and BBQ sauce for 110 SEK (13 USD). Each burger got an order of french fries included in the price as well.

When our burgers arrived we did feel a bit worried. Would they really live up to our expectations? Visually they had a few red flags, such as uneven ratios and beef that looked a bit compact, but we were pleasantly surprised when we took our first bite and were met with a super juicy and beefy patty. The crust was great, and the beef itself was soft on the inside with a some deep flavours. Our ratio worries were also unwarranted, and even our 300 gram burger was well-balanced. Unfortunately it had too much BBQ sauce, and the sweet flavours were a bit overpowering. The burger sauce on the Triple Burger was a bit too sweet as well, but apart from that everything else tasted really good. The Triple Burger’s bottom bun couldn’t really handle everything and started to fall apart towards the end of the meal, but our double burger was fine, so we suspect that the lettuce played a part in this. And to top it all off, their french fries were almost perfectly crisp, and we finished them off despite being pretty full up.

We don’t only want to praise their nicely priced meal, but also feel that their friendly staff deserve a mention. We left Bambamburgers with full bellies, happy that the otherwise pretty bleak Järfälla has been gifted with a really good burger joint.

Hos oss är det sommar året om! Och du behöver faktiskt ingen grill för att göra en BBQ-burgare. Burgerdudes Summer BBQ Burger kombinerar Sweet Baby Ray’s Original Barbecue Sauce med sallad, tomat och picklad rödlök. Den picklade rödlöken ger både krisp och syra som balanserar den söta och rökiga barbecuesåsen, medan grönsakerna lyfter smakerna. Vi smashar köttet på en stekplatta på grillen, men det går lika bra att göra det i en gjutjärnspanna i köket.

🍔 Burgerdudes Summer BBQ Burger
4 portioner / 30 min

Du behöver:
800 g grovmald högrevsfärs, 20–30 % fetthalt
4 hamburgerbröd, gärna briochebröd
8 skivor hamburgerost
Sweet Baby Ray’s Original Barbecue Sauce
4 salladsblad
4 tomatskivor
1 rödlök
1 dl ättiksprit, 12 %
2 dl strösocker
3 dl vatten Smör
Salt och grovmald svartpeppar

Gör så här:
1.) Pickla rödlöken. Koka upp ättiksprit, socker och vatten och rör tills sockret har löst sig. Låt svalna. Skiva rödlöken tunt och lägg den i lagen i minst 30 minuter.
2.) Dela upp färsen i 8 delar à 100 gram och forma löst till bollar med händerna.
3.) Smält en liten klick smör på stekplattan eller i stekpannan och rosta insidan av bröden. Lägg åt sidan och torka av plattan eller pannan.
4.) Höj till maxvärme, cirka 250 grader. Lägg på köttbollarna och pressa med jämnt tryck till cirka 1 ½ cm tjocklek med ett smashverktyg i cirka 10 sekunder. Salta och peppra generöst.
5.) När små bubblor börjar bildas på köttets yta vänder du köttet med en vass stekspade. Lägg två skivor hamburgerost på varje köttpuck och stek ytterligare cirka 1 minut.
6.) Ringla Sweet Baby Ray’s Original Barbecue Sauce på brödets botten och lock. Lägg ett salladsblad på botten, följt av två köttpuckar. Toppa med en tomatskiva och picklad rödlök. Sätt sedan på locket.

Servera direkt och njut av smaken av sommar! ☀️

🇸🇪 @noahsburgare ★★★★★

We first visited N.O.A.H’s Burgare in Södertälje in 2024, and they’ve been high on our ranking of Sweden’s Best Burgers ever since. Their small white food truck has now been replaced by a much larger container, and the menu featured around ten burgers. We ordered our favourite, the Double Bacon Burger, with two 110-gram beef patties, cheddar, bacon, tomato, burger sauce and BBQ sauce for 138 SEK (14 USD). We also tried their SSK Meal, featuring a Bacon Jam Burger with a 135-gram beef patty, cheddar, bacon jam, pickles and Mac sauce. It cost 185 SEK (19 USD), including fries, a dip and a drink.

The burgers arrived quickly and looked just as inviting as we remembered. The Bacon Burger delivered crispy bacon and deep umami flavours, while the diced tomato worked surprisingly well with the other ingredients, adding both juiciness and a distinct texture. The Bacon Jam Burger had a pronounced sweetness and smokiness that we really enjoyed. The thicker beef patty had a crispy crust and a very juicy centre, and together with the generous amount of bacon jam, the proportions between the beef, toppings and bun were really good. However, the Mac sauce faded into the background and didn’t quite get a chance to shine. Both burgers were generously seasoned with salt and coarsely ground black pepper, and we particularly appreciated how they had adjusted the thickness of the patties to suit the toppings. The flavourful bacon jam worked perfectly with a thicker patty, while the classic Bacon Burger had better proportions with two thinner patties, each with an amazing crust. The fries were well-cooked and almost impossible to stop eating, and the included Mac dip paired really well with them.

N.O.A.H’s Burgare just keeps getting better with every visit, and they continue to impress from their small car park on the outskirts of Södertälje. If you love burgers, they’re definitely worth a detour.

🇺🇸 @familyfriend20671 ★★★★☆

Familyfriend is located in a residential neighbourhood in South Seattle and serves American comfort food and Guamanian fusion cuisine. They’ve been named the home of both Seattle’s best smashburger and corn soup, and the restaurant itself has a cosy interior with a large and airy courtyard. The menu consisted of small plates, medium plates and mains, and we ordered the only burger on the menu. The Da Kids Kewpie Burger came with beef, cheese, onions, pickles and miso and cost 20 USD, including a portion of Truffle Shoestring Fries. We also added an extra beef patty for another 5 USD.

The burger was served on a small plate and looked really cute. The beef was juicy with a crispy crust, but we would’ve appreciated more salt to make the flavours pop. The bun was nice and surprisingly airy, but should’ve been toasted harder on the inside. Ratio-wise, it worked really well with double beef, and we think a single would’ve been too bun-heavy. The diced onions were exceptionally crisp and flavourful without taking over, but they’d also diced the pickles, which made them feel more like relish. So even though the flavour was there, we missed their natural crunch, and the burger felt a little too soft overall. The flavours were simple but tasty, and we liked that they dared to keep the burger this simple. Their truffle fries were thinly cut and fried until crisp. Luckily, they’d only been lightly tossed in a fresh truffle oil, which added umami without taking over. We genuinely couldn’t stop eating them.

Familyfriend is a cosy little neighbourhood restaurant that’s well worth a visit. Come for the burger, but make sure to order several of the medium plates to share as well. We tried everything from tacos and empanadas to the burger and their corn soup – and the latter really did live up to its award.

🇸🇪 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.
