The place is busy, and that's understandable considering how good these burgers are. So it takes a bit to get your burger, but once the plate was in front of us, we felt it was worth the wait. It's been a while since we were there, so I don't recall what we got, but they were standard-type burgers, but far above the standard in execution. The buns were perfect for the burger and the burger was just the right combination of flavorful "crust" and juicy interior. It's probably NOT worth moving to Stockholm just for these burgers, but... is it?

The pricing was on the cheaper side, which was impressive for stockholm as the majority of restaurants are pretty expensive.

We ate outside on the covered patio, and even though it was raining and cold, the heaters and enclosures kept us warm and dry. Service was very friendly. You go inside to ask to be seated and get menus, and then you order inside at the bar, and they bring your food out to you. Even the single burgers have tons of meat (I'm glad I didn't order a double), it's seasoned perfectly with a slight kick, the dressing is delicious, the salad is fresh and crisp, they use real cheddar cheese, and the artisan potato buns were perfectly toasted, soft, but held up well. Fries were crispy and delicious. 10/10 would recommend!

The bun was soft and the meat was tender and juicy. The combo of avocado, cream cheese and pickled onions just bound it all beautifully together. I also tried their coleslaw, which was maybe to mayo-y for me, but good. The price was alright (around SEK 100 for a burger). If I ever happen to be in Stockholm, I'm definitely coming back to Prime Burger.

FRASSES provides table service, and the staff have plenty of time to talk Even though it's fast food, it's got great homey atmosphere. If you're not Swedish this is your opportunity to try traditional Swedish sausage. I think it was called Falukorv /flukrv/, Swedish pronunciation: [flkrv] It's made of a grated mixture of smoked pork and beef or veal with potato starch flour, onion, salt and mild spices. Falukorv is a cooked sausage, so it can be eaten without any further preparation. Some Swedes use it as a sandwich ingredient, much like ham or turkey. It tastes like cheap, bland American bologna which is served like a hamburger. It's served what in the US is called "sweet relish" but known here as Bostongurka .It's a Swedish concoction of pickled gherkins, red bell pepper and onion with spices such as mustard seeds. It is so popular in Sweden that it is considered by some to be a generic term. Despite its name, Bostongurka has nothing to do with the city of Boston. I am happy that I tried Falukorv with Bostongurka but once was enough. However, if I'm in the mood for a mega free refill portion of Diet Coke this will be the destination because of the cleanliness and wonderful customer service.

This is a cool place with lots of seatings and unique decor which sets the ambience. The comfiest seating is probably one of the round sofas and gives plenty of space for the food. Menu is mainly burgers but they also have a couple of starters, which most certainly needs to be shared if you wanna make it to second course. The burgers are nicely served along with fries so you dont have to add extra for it. Also, they arent to cheap with the fries, they provide plenty of it. I had the "BIG A$$ nacho" to start of with, luckily i shared it, but it was one of the biggest plates och nachos i have ever had. This was a plate full of everything and tasted great so it was truly worth the price. But i think its to big for most ppl to get as a starter, even though you share it. Second course was about to start, my stomach was already stuffed, but I went with Bobs Hot burger with lots of jalapenos. Meat was tasty and juicy, but i wasnt to excited about the bread. It wasnt as soft as i wanted it to be, more of a rustic one. To their defence, i was by now filled up and my apetite was surely discontinued. I visited midweek pretty late and the service was okey, but it wasnt to many ppl there so its hard to judge. I think i need to go there once more, and this time only go for the burger. But for now they will have to relay on their unique nacho plate which was one of a kind.

You are not prepared! Gjorde misstaget att beställa en dubbel och förstod då inte vad jag gav mig in på.

Most importantly: the burger. It's perfectly cooked and juicy. You can tell the patties are handmade, and it makes a total difference. The burger includes lettuce, tomato, and caramelized onion. I had a burger with bacon my first time, and really loved it. But honestly, I loved even MORE just the plain burger. Everything tastes amazing together and the slightly toasted but still soft bun was to die for (I'm a huge bread fan, ok). The fries have an exciting concept. I love the fact that you can choose toppings for your fries for free, to heighten the experience. I've tried both the shoestring and the regular fries, and both were perfectly done. They aren't cheap with the toppings, so you don't have to ration them out. The dipping sauces are super tasty as well. I haven't tried them all, but I really love the spicy smoked tomato mayo. My friend actually loved the fries so much she went back 7 hours later before she went back home after visiting me. I'll definitely be a regular at this place!

I have walked by the place many times but been a bit hesitant as it to me looked a bit like take on an American steakhouse so I got Texas Longhorn vibes. Still I wanted to give it a go so stopped by for dinner. They have jumped on the burger trend (which I guess is way past trend now) so serve up a few different burgers as well as some salads and a few snacks and desserts. The menu is short and to the point and I sort of like a place not having too many dishes. The beer menu is also fairly short but they have made a decent selection of beer but I think that they could benefit from adding a few more there. The wine list is actually surprisingly long for a burger place but I would assume that they will also try to get the afterwork crowd since they have a large outdoor area with evening sun (until around 8.30 or so) I went for the burger of the month , the poached egg and truffle burger and the royal with cheese was ordered by others around the table. The burgers come with fries but it is also possible to ask for a salad on the side. We actually went for one with salad and one with fries and split those. Was a good choice as there was a lot of fries. The patty that arrived was not really medium as they said they make them but it was still extremely juicy and flavorful. The egg and truffle burger was very good, although if I need to find a fault with it I would say it could be more truffle taste. The royal with cheese is a good cheese burger. The side salad was pretty good, a lot better than many burger places salads and the fries were also very good. So how does the burger compare to all the other burger joints popping up around Stockholm? It is not the best burger I had but it is definitely among the better ones. This is also more of a 'restaurant' burger than a 'fast food' burger so to me it more competes with the likes of Flying Elk and Oljebaren rather than Flippin, Käk and Svenska Hamburgerköket and as a restaurant burger it is one of the better in Stockholm. I would hold it above both Flying Elk and Oljebaren and also price-wise it is better as it is around 140 SEK (139 for the royal and 145 for the burger of the month). I will probably be back a few times but if I really feel the need for s burger I would probably still head to Svenska Hamburgerköket instead.
