    Surf Burger-All in
    Dan A.

    I returned to try the Crispy Chicken Burger based on a recommendation. Dare I say this sandwich was just as good as the burger. I ordered it "all in" & added Bacon & Cheddar. Buttermilk coating was crispy & the chicken was tender and cooked perfectly! I also tried the onion rings & they were tasty!

    Two words: Garlic Fries!!! I've been here once, and I will go back! I had: Burger with added pineapple and cheddar, garlic fries. Taste: Great! Especially the garlic fries, but the burger was nicely made and had a nice flavour to it. Concept: Spot on! Malmö needs this gem, and everything from the menu to the interior is just, well, spot on. Service: Great. We went there early for lunch before the massive crowd got there, and the staff was very helpful. It's a great concept, as said before, but it's a lot to get a hang of before ordering, and one of the older men working there talked us through the whole thing, even if we were 6 people. What brings it from 5 stars to 4 is that it's a small place, and it gets crowded FAST. You need to be there well before 12 for lunch, and it's kind of loud when it's filled. Which doesn't always please me, but hey, the food's worth it!

    If you're into burgers (even if you're vegetarian or gluten intolerant) this is a must do in malmö. The service is very quick AND the food is very good. You can decide whatever you want in your burger (a lot of the ingredients are included in the price). The mini burger is actually pretty big (so I would recommend this one). The only difference with the regular one is that you only have one meat instead of two. But this restaurant is maybe a little victim of its success because it's really crowded. So don't go there if you're looking for intimacy in a quiet restaurant ;)

    Great little American lunch spot in Malmo. The staff was very friendly when we walked in and gave us a menu in English after we struggled reading the one in front of us. At this location you can build your own burger (chicken, beef, etc.) with toppings from a long list to cater to your craving. I got a chicken burger with BBQ sauce, American cheese, onion, tomato, lettuce, and pineapple - it also came with Mayo on it, so be careful to say no Mayo if you don't like it! They have slushies here if you like those too. There were bathrooms at this location for customers.

    Cheeseburger w fries. Smash style, lovely meat, diabolic bun and the best (!) fries I ever had.

    Had lunch here today based on Yelp reviews and was amazingly suprised. This is the best burger I have had east of the Atlantic! Not only that, their fries was the best I've ever had, anywhere! Do not miss this if you are in Malmö and like burgers.

    Ranked as the 6th best burger in the world by Food and Wine magazine in 2024 ("Organic beef…read morecheeseburger with onions, pickles, and a house Gasoline Sauce. $16 "), the Gasoline Grill hamburger restaurant has multiple locations throughout Denmark. It's one of those things where I was glad I stopped by, but didn't really experience anything with the food or ambiance that would make me recommend this as a out-of-the way stop that the ranking would seem to suggest. This one is the original, using the station building as a walk-up window with the kitchen inside. They have a few picnic tables on the side for outdoor dining, and I do think that it's important to eat the burger as soon as possible. The interesting thing is that it is still a working gas station, with an island with multiple pumps dispensing petrol (which I didn't see being used during my wait) and some electric charging stations (which was actively being used). I was able to place my order (nothing customized, just wanted exactly as they described after about a 10 minute wait, got my lemonade right away, and waited another 10 minutes to get my food (everything is made-to-order). The cheeseburger was 110 DKK, fries was 40, lemonade was 35, and dipping sauce was 10 with 10 off for being a combo. So total was 185 DKK (about $28.88 in USD). The process and food reminded me very much of a Shake Shack, with the young workers working together to produce well-made smashburgers using great ingredients. The color scheme reminds me of a Wingstop, though. I squeezed between a couple of single diners and dug in. The burger was good, with that loose smash burger quality. It came with a mayo based thousand island like sauce (their gasoline sauce), and had tomato, pickles, red onion slices, and a gooey, plentiful cheese. The lemonade was good, and the hint of elderflower made it memorable. The crinkle fries were good, well done fried which I appreciate. Ate the meal fast before my hands started to freeze up, tossed the remains in the gas station islands garbage bin and was on my way. I really do think a food like this is all about where you eat it...if on an airplane, or at a ballpark, or at the beach...yeah, I could see the appeal. But at a gas station in freezing weather on a picnic table...not so much.

    This place completely hit the spot. The burger was everything you want; juicy, flavorful, and…read moreperfectly cooked, with just the right balance of toppings that didn't overwhelm the meat. The bun held up beautifully without getting soggy, and the fries on the side were crispy and golden. You can tell they really care about quality ingredients here. The ambiance was great too; casual and relaxed but still with a cool vibe that makes it feel like more than just a quick stop. It's the kind of spot where you can hang out with friends, enjoy good food, and not feel rushed. Service was excellent. The staff was friendly, quick with recommendations, and checked in at just the right times without hovering. Everything came out promptly, and you could see they genuinely wanted customers to have a good experience.
