Dougs Hamburgers

I’ve been waiting to try this place for quite some time, and I guess my expectations were too high. Rumours have had it that this is the best burger in Oslo, but I left unimpressed. The burger itself was small and quite flat. Finished in a few bites and lacked a bit of interesting something. Drenched in too much ketchup. Plus for very juicy and buttery bread - which for me was the meals highlight. I think the burger would have been more satisfying if I had picked the “double” option, so definitely go for that! Fries were okei, nice with the rosemary, but I wish they would have been more than luke warm. The service was nothing short of bad. We stood in front on the counter for a good few minutes not realising that we had to order on iPads (sad, I wish we stopped with screens). The guy working there did not even bother to look up to explain. Barely a few words interaction and it felt unwelcoming. Plus for short waiting time (but would gladly have waited a bit longer for warmer food). Overall, a mediocre experience.

I came to this place trying to don’t have many expectations and I was positively surprised by their burger and fries! I tried the Double Royale to be safe, I usually prefer classic burgers, and this one was very good! The patties were delicious and also the fries on the side were crispy and tasty. I tried the 50/50 as a drink since they were out of the lemonade, which is weird since in the description it was written that it’s 50% lemonade and 50% strawberry iced tea. Well, I’m not sure it was supposed to taste like that but for me it was horrible and very artificial. So I don’t suggest to take this beverage. But overall it was a good meal. Service could be improved, but probably it was just a bad day for the two workers there.

Decent burger, great texture but the beef was a tad dry. Pretty good fries, not the best not the worst. Also I tried the tenders with a hot sauce. Chicken was better than the burger and the hot sauce was easily the best part of the meal.

Had the Tofu fillet burger with a side of fries and loved them both. Tofu was battered and fried, topped with a medium spicy sauce and the usual burger toppings. Overall it was tasty and filling! I definitely liked it more than I thought I would!

Really good burger in whole food court. middle part of burger is really juicy and fries are whole different taste which makes whole menu really tasty. For this menu price is reasonable. Recommended!

[OSLO, NORWAY] And I've come to my final country stop in Norway! There are a few food markets in Oslo, and Mathallen is a good choice due to the quality food provided by the stalls. One honourable mention got to be the burgers we had from Doug's Hamburgers. The Classic Cheeseburger 🍔 (235 NOK with combo) was such a joy to have. The smashed patty was spilling out of the burger, and it had a beautiful crispy crust. It was smashed with some onions, which provided some subtle sweetness. The cheese was rich as usual, but I do find that too much mustard sauce was given as it overpowered the burger. Would definitely prefer a double patty as well 😍 The combo comes with fries and a drink, and the fries really deserve a mention as well. They were crispy and seasoned with some kind of garlic and rosemary mix which gave it some umami and aromatics 😍 Worth a try when you're here at the market!

Honestly, i should have given 4 points just because of chicken tenders and fries. The quality of these two cannot be compared to the burgers that is why I am giving 5 points for everything just because of the burger quality. We got one double, one blue cheese one. From brioche buns to the patty quality, it was something else. Stuff was extremely kind, giving a good vibes. The service is pretty fast as well. I can easily say that it is the best smash burger restaurant that I have eaten in Norway.

Amazing crust, great deep meat flavour. One of the best burgers i tried, only beaten by funky chicken food truck (stockholm) and hundred burgers (valencia). If you love burgers, Doug’s is a must. The loaded fries were amazing too!
