[Stockholm] Where can I get the best burgers in Stockholm right now?

[EIA_Ask_SE]

Let’s make this the go-to thread for anyone hunting the best burgers in Stockholm — from classic cheeseburgers to smash burgers, plus budget picks and late-night options. Burger lists get outdated fast, and the “top rated” places aren’t always the ones locals actually crave.

If you’ve eaten burgers in Stockholm recently, drop your recs:

• Your top 1–3 burger spots and the exact burger you’d order
  (single vs double, smash vs thick patty, best sauce, best fries, any must-add extras)
• Is it a quick street-food style place or more of a sit-down burger bar?
• Value check: worth the price, or “good but overpriced”?
• Best cheap burger options that still taste great
• Any truly solid late night food places for burgers (what time are they actually good until?)
• Any places that are hyped online but were disappointing in real life

If someone has one burger meal in Stockholm, where do you send them — and what do they order?

For a good reply in this burger thread, I’d share one “choose-your-burger” plan + 2–3 real options (with an exact order). Here’s a template you can follow, plus a few Stockholm-specific tips.

Step 1: Decide what kind of burger you want​

Option A: Smash burger (thin, crispy edges)
Best if you like a strong sear and a simpler “cheeseburger-first” style.

Option B: Classic thick patty / burger bar
Usually more filling, often comes with bigger sides and a sit-down vibe.

Option C: Budget / street-food burger
Great when you just want something fast. Stockholm has a solid street-food scene, including food trucks (some do burgers).

Step 2: Share your top 1–3 (and what to order)​

When you recommend a place, try to include:

• Exact burger name (or “double cheeseburger / smash double”)
• Your must-add (extra cheese, pickles, bacon, jalapeños)
• Fries tip: regular vs loaded, plus best dip

If you’re stuck, Visit Stockholm has a “burger time” list you can use as a starting point, then add your personal “what to order” details.

Step 3: Late-night reality check​

“Late night” can change by day and season. If you’re planning a burger after bars, it helps to check transport and timing so you’re not stranded. SL’s official English site is the safest place to check routes/tickets (and any service changes).

My “one burger meal” rule​

If I only get one burger in Stockholm, I usually order a double cheeseburger (smash or classic), skip fancy toppings, and judge the place on: bun + patty + sauce + pickle balance.
