När vi testade Kepsgrillen för första gången i början av 2016 så var de i princip det enda stället i närheten av Globen som serverade en godkänd hamburgare. Då ansåg vi att deras högrevsburgare var överraskande god i all sin enkelhet, och gav dem tre av fem i betyg. Men på senare tid har det dykt upp allt fler konkurrenter i närområdet, och det var med andra ord dags att testa dem igen.

Menyn på Kepsgrillen var ungefär likadan som tidigare, och vi beställde deras Högrevsburgare med 150 gram kött, ost, tomat, rödlök och dressing för 99 kronor, inklusive läsk och pommes frites. Den serverades i ett briochebröd, och såg tyvärr inte alls särskilt rolig ut. Köttpucken hade smashats lite för hårt, och var betydligt bredare än brödet den hade placerats i. Den hade en ganska rejäl stekyta, men var ändå rätt mjuk. Köttet var åtminstone välkryddat och smakade trots allt ganska gott. Övriga ingredienser var av klassiskt gatuköksstuk, med en vit ostskiva som såg oroväckande plastig ut. Pommes fritesen var även de en klassisk gatuköksvariant, med typiskt tråkig smak.

Det har hänt en hel del på Stockholms burgarscen de senaste fem åren, och även om Keps Grillen har försökt hålla sig uppdaterade så har de ändå tappat i kvalitet. Konkurrenter som Slakthusgrillen ligger bara ett par hundra meter bort, så den främsta anledningen till ett besök här är om du har väldigt bråttom, med tanke på att de ligger precis intill tunnelbanestationen.

When we first ate at Kepsgrillen back in the beginning of 2016, they served the only decent burger near Globen in Stockholm. Back then we found their simple chuck burger to be surprisingly good, and we gave them a three out of five grade. But nowadays they have a lot of competition nearby, so it was time for us to try them again.

Kepsgrillen’s menu looked about the same as back then, and we ordered their Högrevsburgare with a 150-gram chuck patty, cheese, tomato, red onions and a burger sauce for 99 SEK, including french fries and a soft drink. It came served in a brioche bun, and didn’t look very appetizing at all. The patty had been smashed too hard, and was much wider than the burger bun. It had an alright crust, but was still pretty soft. Thankfully the beef was well-seasoned and tasted quite nice. But the other ingredients were of the classic grill kiosk fare, especially the eerily white slice of cheese, and didn’t impress us. The French fries were equally uninspiring and cardboardy.

A lot has happened in Stockholm’s burger scene over the years, and even though they have tried to keep up they’ve still fallen behind. Competitors like Slakthusgrillen just a few hundred meters away serve a much better burger, so the main reason to pay Keps Grillen would probably be if you’re in a real hurry, since they’re located just by the subway entrance.

Recension från 01 februari 2016

Recension skriven av John Wästerlund

Kepsgrillen är ett litet gatukök alldeles utanför Globens tunnelbanestation i Stockholm. När vi kom dit tänkte vi helt ärligt att tipsen vi hade fått måste ha varit ett skämt. Det såg verkligen ut som vilket gatukök som helst, med en meny som innehöll ofantliga variationer av tillbehör man kan få på sin platta fryspuck. Det finns såklart en tid och plats för detta, men det är ju inte vad vi brukar recensera här på Burgerdudes.

När vi ändå var där så gick vi såklart in för att kolla, och där på disken stod en skylt med ett extra menyalternativ som gjorde att vi inte längre kände oss lurade. Alternativet var en högrevsburgare i briochebröd med bacon, ost, färsk sallad, lök och deras egna dressing. Denna burgare med pommes frites och läsk kostade 115kr.

Det som överraskande var att denna enkla burgare faktiskt var helt okej, trots den trötta menyn med tunnbrödsrullar, korv och mos. Allt var färskt och fräscht, och vårt enda riktiga klagomål var egentligen att det inte var något speciellt alls med burgaren. Men om man är i området kan denna burgaren definitivt stilla burgarsuget.

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! ☀️

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.
