The best burger streetfood spots in Stockholm
This white-tiled butcher shop, open since 2014, doubles as a bistro, turning its own cuts into both classic mains and more casual dishes. The burgers are the signature, but the Reuben sandwich, Philly cheesesteak, and Thüringer bratwurst showcase the quality of the meat just as well.
Since opening in 2015, Barrels has become a popular spot for artisan-made burgers and craft beer, served in a modern take on the pub experience. With multiple locations across the city, a Barrels burger is never far away—making it an easy go-to for both casual meals and drinks.
Opened in 2015, Bird is a casual restaurant all about fried chicken in every form. Buttermilk fried chicken, chicken sandos, spicy wings, and more—the menu covers it all and then some. Available for lunch, dinner, and take-away, with a no-reservations policy.
Since 2017, BAP has focused on two New York deli classics: hamburgers and pastrami sandwiches. For the pastrami, high-quality brisket from Kötthallen Sorunda is cured, marinated, and smoked in-house. Exposed brick walls, leather seating, and industrial-chic lamps remind guests of a Manhattan loft.
In a generous space with graffiti and rustic furniture, the Swedish street food classic “tunnbrödsrulle” (flatbread wrap) is served with an international twist. Among the dozen variations, there are two types of chorizo, moose sausage, and a Middle Eastern lamb sausage paired with a fried egg.
After countless crossings of the US–Mexico border, the founder couldn’t pick a side, so he united both culinary worlds in one concept. Across its three locations, the kitchen smashes dry-aged Swedish beef into burgers and fills tacos with prime rib and melted cheese for a rich birria.
Located just outside Stockholm, this spot has become a destination for smoked meats in all their forms. Brisket, ribs, and pulled pork are served alongside classic sides such as creamed corn and mac and cheese. A place that celebrates low-and-slow barbecue traditions with plenty of smoky flavor.
With their counter in the K25 food court, award-winning chefs Mikael Gröndal and Linus Ahlstedt bring a French twist to fast food. Their most popular dish is a kebab in a thin galette with grilled veal and a white house sauce. Alternatives include salads, sandwiches, and burgers.
Flippin’ Burgers is the burger restaurant that started Sweden’s burger revolution. Even with new ownership in recent years, the restaurant continues serving high-quality burgers just as it did from the beginning—an established concept that still holds its ground.
A 2013 trip to the US convinced Shahram Alavi, then a carpenter, to change paths: he opened an NYC-inspired street grill, serving burgers with his own minced meat and freshly baked buns. Word spread quickly, and since 2017, Franky’s has been a proper burger bar with counter seating and a terrace.
Founded in 2014, Phil’s now has seven locations across Stockholm and Eskilstuna, and this one is the largest. The burgers, tacos, and deep-fried chicken dishes come with a selection of inventive sides, a striking panorama over busy Sergels torg, and a large bar serving beer, wine, and cocktails.
What started as a craft-burger chain in 2013 is now down to a single location with a new smokehouse concept since 2025. Double-smashed burgers share the menu with tacos, as well as smoked brisket and pork belly. The food is backed by an extensive craft beer list, including a collab with Unibärsum.
The smash burgers from this black food truck are worth the trip out to Nacka Strand, a maritime office hub and home to the Stockholm Fashion District. Johan Ekman and John Taudien offer a different burger each week, which is known for its coarsely ground, peppery beef blend, as well as chicken over rice.
From a burger blog to a fully fledged restaurant—that’s the story behind Bun Meat Bun, founded by Stefan Falk together with Mattias Wall. Today, with multiple locations across Stockholm, the concept stands as a testament to passion and quality that larger chains can only dream of.
With his Odenplan kiosk and warm service, George Montana has earned the status of a local street-food legend. Flatbread wraps and sausages come with mash made from Gotland potatoes, while burger patties are formed from chuck. The 3 am close on weekends makes it a favorite refuel for night owls.
Opened after a crowdfunding campaign in 2012, this place was among the first in Stockholm to take burgers seriously. The concept remains simple: high-quality buns frame a juicy patty, with eight variations to choose from. Shakes are made with ice cream from Gothenburg-based Lejonet & Björnen.
Craft beer from Stigbergets Brewery meets burgers from Barrels: at this gastropub, the food is as ambitious as the taps. Dry-aged beef burgers are served alongside sandwiches and chicken wings. Snacks like tacos, nachos, and fries are for the table, but the dessert burger is too good to be shared.
Opened by actor Joel Kinnaman together with Mahmut Suvakci, Lily’s Burger serves great burgers in a setting that feels like stepping into a 1960 s diner, complete with chrome details, pastel colours, and a checkerboard pattern. If movies like Grease bring a sense of nostalgia, this is the place for you.
Former car mechanic Andreas Desimons and his wife Julia have run this kiosk since 1998, turning a former newsstand into a grill. Their tunnbrödsrulle wraps grilled sausages in flatbread, together with homemade potato mash and salad. Classic shrimp salad is an optional extra, added inside the roll.
To finance his education, music student Sven Ideberg started this kiosk on Lidingö in 1961. Since then, it has become an island institution famous for its tunnbrödsrullar. Many of the 30+ varieties of wraps use the signature filling of crushed potatoes and a crispy salad, alongside various sausages.
