Burger & Chill

Med tanke på att Burger & Chill slog upp portarna för flera år sedan och titulerar sig som Varbergs första burgarrestaurang så var det hög tid att se vad de kan prestera. Menyn består av ett stort antal både traditionella  och mer kreativa hamburgare. Ett vegetariskt alternativ finns i form av halloumiburgare, men men något veganskt alternativ saknas tyvärr. Vi siktade in oss på en klassiker och valde deras ”Cheezy”, som bestod av en högrevspuck, cheddar, krispsallad, tomat, hamburgerdressing och rödkålssallad för 109 kronor, inklusive en portion pommes frites.

Servicen var trevlig, och vår snygga burgare serverades snabbt. Köttpucken på högreven var otroligt saftig och hade en tydlig köttsmak, trots aningen klen kryddning. Brödet var lagom fluffigt, härligt rostat och matchade köttpucken perfekt. Osten kändes som ett steg upp från standardcheddarn och dressingen hade lite sting som passade väl in med de andra ingredienserna. Rödkålssalladen kan nog vara lite av en vattendelare, men vi uppskattade knaprigheten den bidrog med som gav hela anrättningen en bra balans.

Pommes fritesen var krispiga med en härlig potatissmak, och vitlöksdippen för 10 kronor var ett riktigt klipp. Vi kan glatt konstatera att Burger & Chill gör mycket goda hamburgare, och att de är väl värda ett besök nästa gång du är i Varberg.

Burger & Chill opened several years ago in Varberg in the southwestern parts of Sweden, and call themselves the first burger joint in the city. So it was about time that we paid them a visit. They serve serveral classic burgers, and a few wilder varieties. There’s also a halloumi burger, but no vegan options. We ordered a ”Cheezy” burger, with a chuck patty, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, burger sauce and a red cabbage salad for 109 SEK (11 USD), which also included a portion of fries.

The service was great, and our burger was served shortly after. And it looked really good. The patty was incredibly juicy with a nice and beefy flavour, despite being a bit underseasoned. The bun was fluffy, toasted and matched the patty perfectly. We also enjoyed the creamy cheddar, and heat from the burger sauce really worked great with the other ingredients. We were a bit surprised by the red cabbage salad, but it actually added some great texture that balanced out our meal.

We liked the crispy and flavoursome french fries, and the garlic dip for just 10 SEK (1 USD) was a real steal. We are happy to say that Burger & Chill’s burgers are really good, and they’re well worth a visit the next time you’re in Varberg.

🇸🇪 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.
