From Eve

Know before you go

Hi, I'm Eve. Here are a few practical things to know before exploring Bastard Burgers.

Try a meal option (burger + fries + drink) for best value and sample one of the signature dips alongside the Shack Fries.
Vegetarians and vegans have several full‑meal choices — ask staff about the plant‑based patty and vegan cheese options.
Peak times are typical for lunch and early evening; counter ordering is efficient but expect a short queue around 12:00–13:30 and 17:00–19:00.

A neighbourhood burger joint with Nordic roots

Bastard Burgers in Östersund sits on Prästgatan and presents itself as a modern street‑food burger bar that foregrounds Swedish ingredients. The menu centres on smash‑style patties made from Swedish beef, alongside a broad programme of plant‑based alternatives and chicken options, and a rotating set of seasonal or collaboration burgers. The fit‑out and brand language deliberately mix urban New York street food energy with a northerly focus on local produce and simple, robust flavours.

The menu: classics, specials and vegan choices

Expect a concise but varied menu: cheeseburgers and BBQ styles, fried‑chicken sandwiches, and sharable sides such as Shack Fries with dips and special loaded fries. A notable feature is the substantial vegan offering — certified plant‑based patties and vegan cheeses are available so vegetarians and vegans have multiple full‑meal choices rather than a single token option. Meals typically include fries and a soft drink, and extras such as sauces and add‑ons let you tune spice and texture. The interior favours an informal, lively vibe: graffiti and stickers on tables, bold branding, and casual counter service. It’s a space suited to quick meals, relaxed catch‑ups and families with teens; the soundtrack and decor lean toward contemporary street culture rather than fine dining. Lighting and seating provide a social, energetic ambience rather than intimate or tranquil dining. The Östersund site operates on a straightforward daily schedule for lunch and evening service, with counter ordering and a mix of takeaway and on‑site dining. Service is geared to relatively quick turnover — food is prepared for prompt pick‑up or table delivery from a compact kitchen designed for consistent, repeatable dishes rather than à‑la‑carte slow cooking. Bastard Burgers blends street‑food theatre with practical local sourcing: the brand emphasises Swedish beef and regional dairy in cheeses, and many outlets produce patties or finishes in‑house. Small details — branded sauces, craft soft drinks and seasonal shakes — create a sense of place that’s both familiar (classic burger builds) and locally minded (Nordic ingredients, Swedish veg patties). For travellers exploring central Östersund who want a reliably tasty, quick meal with both meat and plant‑based options, this Bastard Burgers provides an efficient, flavour‑forward stop. The setting is casual and family‑friendly, making it suitable for groups with varied dietary needs and for anyone who prefers a lively, modern burger bar atmosphere.
