Butcher’s Burgers har stängt sin verksamhet.

Att säga att Butcher’s Burgers i Växjö är ett av de ställen vi har fått flest tips om de senare åren är ingen överdrift. Restaurangen har varit en lokal favorit sedan de värmde upp stekbordet för första gången 2018, och nu har vi äntligen haft möjlighet att göra ett besök. Vi beställde in deras Butcher’s Cheese med trippel cheddar, picklad lök, tomat och burgardressing för 115 kronor samt månadens burgare Wieslander’s med tryffelost, bacon, rå lök, chipotlemajonnäs och chilibearnaisesås för 150 kronor. Pommes frites ingick i priset.

Burgarna serverades i pappersfickor på metallbrickor, och vi reagerade direkt på att brödet såg alldeles för stort ut. Som tur var så hade brödet – från bageriet tvärs över gatan – en extremt fluffig textur och en stabil rostning. Köttet hade trevlig smak och en fin kryddning, men kändes tyvärr något kompakt och tuggig. Smakprofilen i vår Butcher’s Cheese var alldeles för försiktig, och vi hade hoppats på mer smak – framförallt i deras burgardressing. Vi uppskattade i alla fall de fräscha grönsakerna som lyfte smakerna och texturen. Månadsburgaren Wieslander’s tyckte vi inte alls fungerade 0ch smakerna var långt ifrån harmoniska. Det hände för mycket helt enkelt, och smakerna spretade åt för många håll. Pommes fritesen var av hög kvalitet, och utöver den rejäla portionen så hade de även en härligt krispig textur och en gedigen och riktigt god potatissmak.

Burgarna på Butcher’s Burgers är helt klart godkända, men vi hade hoppats på lite mer fingertoppskänsla både i kompositionen och i tillagningen. Det märks att de använder sig av högkvalitativa råvaror och att de är väl värda ett besök när du inte vill besöka någon av de större kedjorna i Växjö.

In English

It’s no exaggeration to say that Butcher’s Burgers in Växjö is one of the places we’ve received the most tips about in recent years. The restaurant has been a local favourite since they heated up the grill for the first time in 2018, and now we finally had the opportunity to visit. We ordered their Butcher’s Cheese with triple cheddar, pickled onion, tomato and burger dressing for 115 SEK (10.5 USD) and their burger of the month Wieslander’s with truffle cheese, bacon, raw onions, chipotle mayonnaise and a chilli béarnaise sauce for 150 SEK (13.5 USD). French fries were included in the price.

Our burgers arrived in paper pockets on metal trays, and we immediately noticed that the bun looked way too big. Fortunately, the bun – from the bakery across the street – had an extremely fluffy texture and had been toasted nicely. The meat had a nice flavour and great seasoning, but it’s texture was sadly a bit dense and chewy. The flavour profile of our Butcher’s Cheese was far too subtle, and we were hoping for more flavours – especially in their burger dressing. However, we did appreciate the fresh vegetables that enhanced the flavours and texture. The Wieslander’s monthly burger did not work at all for us and the flavours were all over the place. There was simply too much going on, and the flavours went in too many directions. The fries were of high quality, and in addition to the large portion, they also had a wonderfully crispy texture and a solid and really tasty potato flavour.

The burgers at Butcher’s Burgers are definitely worth checking out, but we were hoping for a little more attention to detail in both composition and preparation. You can tell that they use high quality ingredients, making them well worth a visit when you don’t want to visit one of the bigger chains in Växjö.

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.
