Ända sedan Bun Meat Bun öppnade sin första restaurang i Farsta Strand under sommaren 2014 så har de varit en stapelvara på Stockholms burgarscen. Vi besökte dem strax innan vi startade Burgerdudes, och har länge ansett att de har serverat några av Sveriges absolut bästa burgare. Numera finns de på fem platser runt om i Stockholm, och denna expansion har lett till vissa eftergifter, rent kvalitetsmässigt. Under vårt senaste besök beställde vi en dubbel Smokey Arizona med två 100-gramsköttpuckar, pepperjack-ost, friterat bacon, inlagda jalapeños, rödlök och chipotlemajonnäs för 115 kronor samt en dubbel Royal Cheese med två 100-gramsköttpuckar, ost, silverlök, pickles, majonnäs, senap och ketchup för 105 kronor. Vi beställde den sistnämnda burgaren ”extra fin” för 10 kronor extra, vilket innebar att den var senapsstekt med stekt lök.

Burgarna var riktigt snygga med en inbjudande stekyta och härligt glänsande kött. Det relativt nya briochebrödet var mjukt och smörigt, och höll ihop väl under hela måltiden. Köttet var väldigt saftigt och hade en fin stekyta, men vi hade gärna sett att den var lite mer tilltagen. Smakbalansen svajade något då båda våra burgare var överdrivet salta, och vår Royal Cheese var lite väl mjuk i texturen. Vi tyckte inte heller att senapsstekningen märktes av särskilt mycket. Smokey Arizona var roligare, med lite eldig och rökig hetta från flera av ingredienserna. Pommes fritesen för 35 kronor var något dyra, men de var krispigt friterade med en välavvägd kryddning och tydlig potatissmak.

Bun Meat Bun serverar fortfarande riktigt goda burgare, men de har tappat den där magiska gnistan som de alltid brukade ha. Som långtida fans av kedjan vi hoppas att de hittar tillbaka till toppskiktet snart.

In English

Ever since Bun Meat Bun opened their first restaurant in Farsta Strand back in 2014 they’ve been a solid fixture in Stockholm’s burger scene. We visited them before we’d even started Burgerdudes, and have long felt that they’ve served some of the best burgers in Sweden. Nowadays they can be found in five locations in Stockholm, and this expansion has led to a few drops in quality. During our latest visit we ordered a double Smokey Arizona with two 100-gram beef patties, pepperjack cheese, deep-fried bacon, pickled jalapeños, red onions and a chipotle mayo for 115 SEK (11 USD) plus a double Royal Cheese with two 100-gram beef patties, cheese, white onions, pickles, mayo, ketchup and mustard for 105 SEK (10 USD). We ordered the latter burger ”extra fin”, meaning that the meat came mustard-fried with extra fried onions for 10 SEK (1 USD).

Our burgers looked really tasty, and the patties were shiny with a nice crust. They switched to a brioche bun about a year ago, and it was soft, buttery and held together great throughout our meal. The meat itself was very juicy, but even though we liked the crust we felt that it could have been a bit deeper. Taste wise, both of our burgers were a bit too salty, and the textures in our Royale Cheese were a bit uneven as everything was too soft. We didn’t really notice the mustard in the patties either. Our Smokey Arizona was a better choice, with several spicy ingredients that livened up our tastebuds. 35 SEK (3.5 USD) for their regular french fries was a bit expensive, but they were well-cooked and tasted nice with a great crispy potato flavour.

Bun Meat Bun still serve really good burgers, but we can’t ignore that they’ve lost that magic touch that they used to have during each and every one of our visits. And as fans of their burgers we hope that they can find their way back soon.

Recension från 08 november 2014

Recension skriven av Toby Lee

Bun Meat Bun finns nu på fyra platser i Stockholm. De öppnade sin första restaurang i Stockholmsförorten Farsta Strand redan 2014, och har sedan dess expanderat till Söderhallarna vid Medborgarplatsen och Mariehäll i närheten av Sundbyberg samt Jakobsberg. Inspirationen är tagen direkt från fastfood-mästarna Shake Shack, men tack vare den mindre skalan så kan de även lägga mer tid på detaljerna.

Här serveras smashade burgare, vilket betyder att de trycker till köttpucken med en vikt så att den får en rejäl stekyta. 100-gramspuckarna blir rätt tunna, men en standardburgare har två genomstekta puckar med rejält knaprig yta. Och om inte det skulle räcka kan du alltid köpa till extra kött för 25 kronor pucken, så det är bara anständigheten som sätter gränsen för hur många köttlager din burgare ska ha. Beställer du en trippel ”Cheesus” från deras hemliga meny kommer du att få kött och ost så det räcker ett bra tag framöver i alla fall.

Potatisbrödet känns bra i handen, och är både luftigt och aningen sött. Här sugs alla köttsafter upp för en härlig helhetsupplevelse. Vi vill även tipsa om att du kan beställa din burgare ”extra fin” för en femkrona extra och få mjukstekt lök och senapsstekt kött.

Pommes fritesen kostar 25 kronor extra, men uppgradera då hellre till varianten med smält ost och het chili för 35 kronor. Om detta känns för mastigt rekommenderar vi i stället att du istället unnar dig en smaskig milkshake, eller varför inte ytterligare en köttskiva?

–

Bun Meat Bun have three locations in Stockholm, and can be found on Södermalm, in Farsta Strand, Jakobsberg and near Sundbyberg. They started out in 2014 as Sweden’s answer to Shake Shack, but their dedication to smashburgers have taken them well beyond their international counterpart.

Smashed burgers are made by pressing the patties heavily on the griddle, for maximum crust and flavour. The 100 gram patties are quite thin, but a standard burger has two of them and a great crunch. Additional patties cost 25 SEK each. If you order a triple off-menu Cheesus you’ll get enough meat and cheese to last you through the day, at least.

The soft potato bun is nice and airy, and can usually handle all the sauces and meat juices. We also definitely recommend ordering your burger ”extra nice”, which will get you fried onions and mustard fried patties for only 5 SEK extra.

Also, skip the regular fries for their excellent cheese sauce and green chili fries, or why not have a great milkshake instead?

Burger Devil is located in Bäckby on the outskirts of Västerås, and when we first visited them in 2023 after several recommendations, we were pleasantly surprised by the high quality. During our return visit, we noticed that the restaurant had a thoughtfully designed interior, with almost every little detail featuring their branding. This time, we ordered a Cheese with two 120-gram beef patties, cheddar, red onions, pickles, yellow mustard, ketchup and mayo, as well as a Habanero Cheese with the same amount of beef, cheddar, habanero cheese, white onions, fresh chilli and béarnaise sauce. Both double burgers cost 189 SEK (19 USD) each as meals, including fries and a soft drink.

The burgers were nicely presented in paper sleeves and well assembled, with a good patty to bun ratio – even though our Habanero Cheese was a bit overloaded with toppings. The buns held everything together well, with a soft exterior and a nicely toasted interior. The beef was heavily smashed with a nice crust and generous seasoning that gave it a rich and robust flavour. However, we would have liked more heat from the Habanero Cheese, especially considering its name. And while we appreciated the idea of adding béarnaise sauce, the flavours became somewhat monotonous towards the end, and we would have liked something fresh to break things up. The fried habanero and cheese balls added a really nice contrast in texture, though, and overall it was a very enjoyable burger. The cheeseburger was also good at its core, but the flavours were slightly too sweet. We would have really appreciated some tangy dill pickles here to create a better balance. The fries were well-fried and nicely salted, but the dips we ordered could have had a bit more flavour.

Burger Devil has a well-developed concept, and they continue to serve filling and well-made burgers at very reasonable prices. Despite a few minor flaws, that still goes a long way.

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.
