The best fast food burger in Sweden

Max always has the best fast food in Sweden, and a bunch of great vegan options.
They are all the same and they manage to get the exact same burger to you wherever you are which is kinda crazy.

They actually cooked a vegan burger well. I am still in shock

I loved the vegan beef burger. They cooked the patty so it was grilled and hot, but still moist and red in the middle. It was strange, I wasn’t used to this for fast food.

Good for Max

Amazing fast food burger joint!

So pleasantly surprised at how many vegan option they have here! Wish we had a MAX in the UK, so great for coming home from a night out or when we’re too tired to eat out!
Very close to our hotel so perfect location and just truly fantastic!

Pros: Great options, Very convenient , Delicious burger

Lots of veg and vegan option

Max is my favourite burger chain in Sweden. Lots of veg options. Too bad they longer do the "crispy no chicken" which used to be my go to option

Cheap burger

Pretty disgusting burger, but cheap when your burger is running low!
You order on a screen which has a separate vegan/vegetarian menu page. It is easy to customise the meal e.g. to add an extra burger

Good basic fast food

The machine for ordering is clear and easy to use. There are usually 3 vegan burger options and many more vegetarian ones. Do not expect anything fancy or mind blowing food. They also offer plant based shakes that are a sweet deal.

Pros: Fast, Accessible

Cons: Horrible toilet (bring your own paper)

NOT vegan

I asked them to check the ingredients and allergens list - they did and told me that none of the sandwiches are actually vegan and can’t be made vegan. Didn’t know the difference between vegetarian and vegan. Maybe this person didn’t know what they were talking about, but make sure you ask to be sure.

McDonalds style

The burgers are tasty, simple and small, exactly like in McDonalds. I wouldn’t eat here regularly, but I was satisfied with the number of vegan options.

Bland burgers

The self-service machines offer an English menu, including the ingredients for each item (as far as I could tell).
Each time I added a burger to the basket, as well as right before paying, I was asked if I wanted to add anything to it - no, I'm good, stop hassling me.
I order the vegan beef burger and the vegan buffalo burger. The former was as bland as can be, the latter had some spice (though less than I had hoped for, but about as much as I expected).
Not good, but also one of the few options near the central train station at 11pm on a Sunday.

Not what I expected

I have eaten at Max in Norway many times, and find their burgers pretty OK. The Swedish menu seemed to be a bit different, and I went for the burger that looked the most similar to the one I normally go for in Norway (Crispy no Chicken). Unfortunately, it (Crispy Supreme Sandwich) wasn't half as nice as the Norwegian one. The plant based luxury peach shake was good, though.

Would give 5 stars if I could

Max burger is kind of like a slightly nicer McDonald's. The menu is almost split in two with a meat menu and a vegan menu. There are vegan options for most things including a faux chicken burger, faux beef, and salads. There are also plant shakes which are excellent.

Pros: Lors of vegan options , Lots of seating

Cons: Fast food rather than restaurant service

Mediocre Fast Food

I appreciate how wide their “green line” is, although most of the options are vegetarian and currently only two burgers are plant-based 🌿
The Crispy No Chicken wasn’t bad but the there’s definitely space for improvement - especially the taste (in my opinion a bit tasteless).
The chocolate “milkshake” (far from being one) was too thick and fat, I had a hard time drinking it.
I would also point out how it’s more expensive than other fast food brands, so overall it didn’t convince me.

Surprisingly really good burgers

Convenient option on a whim. Ordered the no chicken burger, non-dairy strawberry shake & no chicken bbq burger and it was awesome. One of the crispiest vegan chicken patties I've ever tried. Props to the guy that was nonstop cleaning too. The restaurant was quite clean to be a fast food place. Higher quality than a McDonald's for sure.

Pros: About 4-5 diff vegan burgers, Vegan nuggets!, Quick service

Cons: Avocado is pricey (as usual) , Overall a bit pricey for fast food

Great vegan burgers!

MAX is a huge chain in Sweden and for a good reason!

They do serve meat burgers as well but the vegan options are just as good!

The non chicken burger was crispy and delicious and tasted almost like real chicken.

Price is a bit high but I guess that’s considered normal here in Sweden.

Pros: Good vegan options!

Cons: A tad expensive

best vegan burger i had

i went to the branch in norrtullsgatan. they had a few vegan burger options and sauces. might be the best vegan burger i have ever had. i had the “chicken” burger and the patty wasn’t greasy or heavy, it was just perfect. had mustard and kbbq sauces which were also very delicious. could be cheaper but i would definitely go again

Good burgers!

It’s a huge food chain in Sweden. They’re environmentally conscious for a fast food restaurant. They have some great vegan options. It’s a good deal if you’re in for some fast food.

better than mcdonalds

visited last may. i was surprised by the number of vegan things they had. pleasantly surprised. also pretty mind blowing that a fast food chain would have this many options. better than the swedish mcdonalds. if you love vegan junk food, which i do, definitely worth coming to. and the shakes were pretty good. i had the chocolate one and a pear one at another branch with a non-vegan swedish friend. i guess it would be a great place if you have different diets.

Options vegan

Cool pour casser la croûte, il y a un burger "chicken" vegan, un bbq burger vegan et un burger "beef" vegetarien (steak moins bon qu'un beyond meat mais pas mal quand mm) mais qui peut devenir vegetalien en changeant quelques options ... comme la Mayo sans œuf par exemple (goût sauce pomme frite de chez mc do) ça dépanne bien en tout cas ..

Pros: Rapide et le personnel agréable

Cons: steak a la friteuse, très très gras

Tasty fast food

Surprisingly wide choice of veg options, vegan burgers and ! shakes ! and some nice dips, so you can get the whole veg menu with fries for accetable price (concerning being in Stockholm) even at very late hours.

I think it's always great when huge chains come with some veg options 'cause thus this veg meals are finally getting to more and more common consumers :).

Pros: many options, vegan shakes, tasty, not bad price for Stockholm

Cons: heavy fast food

Vegan Fast Food - easy ordering

Seeing they had a green menu, I was curious about what was on offer. They had a couple of vegan options - the burger was fast food but was tasty. The other consideration is that not speaking Swedish, you can order via the digital kiosk in english, tailoring your order. Sometimes in another culture it can get a bit fatiguing going through the whole plant-based explanation every meal (although this is becoming less of an issue).

Pros: Fast service, Good Value for Sweden, Easy

Cons: Junk Food

Convenient but

Since they're everywhere, it's a convenient franchise, especially now that they've really upped their veggie selection. But not exactly a place I'd visit having a proper alternative.

Cons: Actually quite expensive for what you get, Fast-food franchise - the opposite of cozy

Great vegan fast food

We had a BBQ burger, vegan chicken burger, both as meals with extra vegan mayo and later I got a strawberry shake! I can't believe all the vegan choices.

Pros: Lots of options for a quick meal and affordable

Cons: Still fast food.

Vegan milkshakes

The no chicken burger meal is good fast food. Juicy! There are 3 different vegan milkshakes available
