NYC Burger

NYC Burger har fyra fasta restauranger; Saltsjö-Boo, Värmdö (öster om Stockholm), Bromma Blocks, Östhammar och Tierp. De har även en foodtruck. Vi besökte Tollare-restaurangen i Saltsjö-Boo, som kanske bättre kan beskrivas som en grillkiosk med sittplatser utomhus. Menyn rymde en handfull olika hamburgare, inklusive en månadsburgare, plus tillbehör. Vi testade flera olika varianter, däribland Manhattan med ost, majonnäs, tomat, silverlök och sallad. De flesta av deras burgare kostade 80 kronor med en 100-gramsköttpuck, och extra kött kostade 25 kronor. Vi beställde även in pommes frites för 25 kronor och sötpotatispommesfrites för 35 kronor. Värt att notera är att de har lunchpriser på vardagar, där en enkel burgare med pommes frites och dricka kostar 95 kronor.

Burgarna serverades inslagna i papper, redo att tas med. Köttpuckarna formades omsorgsfullt innan de stektes, vilket gav burgarna en lite gammaldags känsla i en tid där de flesta snarare väljer att smasha bollar på stekbordet. Köttet hade en bra textur med viss stekyta, men tyvärr var de så pass hårt saltade att sältan tog över. De dubbla, hela salladsbladen som lagts direkt på burgaren störde oss lite; dels för att de hamnade mitt i bettet och gjorde burgaren lite svåräten, och dels för att alla såserna ovanpå dem klämdes ut vid varje tugga. Potatisbrödet hade stekts lite för kort tid, och hade mått bra av lite mer textur och värme.

Båda varianterna av pommes frites var i alla fall klart godkända, även om de också saltats för hårt. Burgarna kändes med andra ord lite gammaldags och moderna på samma gång, men förutom sältan så satt de andra smakerna fint. NYC Burger bjuder på kontraster, och även om vi inte blev helt betagna så smakade det mesta gott och hantverket var tydligt. De är helt klart värda ett besök om du befinner dig i närheten.

In English

NYC Burger have four restaurants; one in Saltsjö-Boo, to the east of Stockholm, one in Bromma Blocks, one in Östhammar and one in Tierp, north of Uppsala. We visited their Tollare location in Saltsjö-Boo, which perhaps better can be described as a grill kiosk with outdoor seating. Their menu consisted of a handful different burgers, including a monthly creation, plus various sides. We ordered several of their burgers, including a Manhattan with cheese, mayo, tomato, white onions and lettuce. Most of their burgers cost 80 SEK (9 USD) for a 100-gram patty, with an extra patty costing 25 SEK (3 USD). We also ordered their French fries for 25 SEK (3 USD) and their sweet potato fries for 35 SEK (4 USD). It’s worth noting that they have a lunch deal during weekdays where a single burger with fries and a soft drink costs 95 SEK (11 USD).

Our burgers came wrapped in paper, ready for takeout. They carefully formed the patties before frying them, which gave them a somewhat old fashioned feeling in a time where most places smash beef balls directly on the griddle. The beef had a nice texture and an acceptable crust,  but had been salted so much that the patties didn’t taste of anything else. The two large lettuce leaves on top of the patties were also a bit confounding, as they made the burger difficult to eat, and also because all the sauces on top of them went everywhere with each bite. The potato bun should have been a bit more toasted and warm as well. could have done with a bit more time on the griddle.

Both of our side order fries had a nice texture, even though they also were a bit too salty. And despite the burgers feeling a bit old fashioned and modern at the same time, they did manage to get the flavours right (sans the salt). NYC Burger were a bit wobbly, but even though we weren’t blown away, we did like our meal and it was obvious that they took pride in their work. We’ll definitely pay them a visit again next time we’re nearby.

🇸🇪 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.
