Still the best US-style (Texas) in Stockholm. Some menu changes since last time I was there with a few more options. Overall, really and I can warmly recommend to do the drive out to Haninge. The brisket was top notch and now they have beef ribs on the menu which may be even better than the brisket. Their side orders are quite good, I personally really enjoy their potato-sallat.
A few things that could be better: The ribs (also the beef ribs) were much too salty. I think they may be using the same rub (salt and peppar) as on the brisket, but as these cuts have huge bones in the middle there is not enough meat for the salt to dissolve in. Also, I really think they should go with a more flavoured rub on their ribs and not Texas-style.

Beef Ribs
Excellent Texas bbq with succulent and tender meats, rich and comforting sides and fresh onions and pickles. They usually also have lovely, soft, presumably fresh-baked bread, however last time I was there, it was just regular pre-sliced sandwich bread from the supermarket - I really hope that was just a one-off thing and that they resume making their own, because it was far superior!

Beef Ribs
Too salty. I was super excited to finally try this place but it unfortunately didn't live up to the hype. (Especially not for thr price) Maybe it was a bad batch but there was wayyyyy too much salt in the mix, I was guzzling water afterwards all day! The turkey and the creamed corn was the best of what I tried. Might try it again to see if it was just a bad day.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Det Arroganta Svinet, a BBQ restaurant that left a lasting impression. From start to finish, my experience was exceptional, and I highly recommend this place to all BBQ enthusiasts.
The food at Det Arroganta Svinet is nothing short of superb, especially if you have a penchant for BBQ flavors. The standout dish for me was the brisket, which was simply amazing. The meat was tender, smoky, and packed with rich flavors that melted in my mouth. It was a true testament to the mastery of their BBQ techniques
In addition to the stellar brisket, the sides offered at Det Arroganta Svinet were equally impressive. While the main meat dishes tend to be high in fat, I suggest opting for some of the less fatty sides to balance out the meal. The variety and quality of the sides complemented the main dishes perfectly, adding depth and texture to the overall dining experience.
As a repeat customer, I have had the pleasure of enjoying the "Texas Trinity" on multiple occasions, and it has never failed to exceed my expectations. The combination of brisket, ribs, and sausage showcases the expertise and dedication of the chefs at Det Arroganta Svinet. Each element of the platter was cooked to perfection, maintaining the authenticity and essence of true BBQ.
One aspect that pleasantly surprised me was the reasonable pricing at Det Arroganta Svinet. Considering the high quality of the food and the overall experience, the prices were quite reasonable compared to other BBQ places in the same league. It's refreshing to find a restaurant that delivers outstanding flavors without breaking the bank.
The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and inviting, with attentive and friendly staff who were knowledgeable about the menu and BBQ traditions. The service added to the overall positive experience and made me feel welcomed and well taken care of.
I have visited both Kista and Jordbro and they are equal, as it's the same food. Kista was first hard to find as it's in the middle of Swedens "silicon valley".
In conclusion, Det Arroganta Svinet is a BBQ paradise that deserves recognition. The combination of exceptional flavors, particularly the mouthwatering brisket, along with well-crafted sides, sets this place apart from the rest. The reasonable prices make it accessible to a wide range of BBQ enthusiasts. If you're a fan of BBQ, do not miss the opportunity to indulge in the culinary delights offered by Det Arroganta Svinet.

Exceptional brisket ! Peach cobbler- awesome. However, we came at 15h on Saturday and there were only couple of food options, actually guy closed after he served us. So greater variety of food would be nice.

They are serving a bit of heaven on a plate. The brisket is out of this world, ribs amazing, my wife loved the sausage. The pulled pork was good but no match for the brisket. Not to forget the sides that complement the mains very well.
We ordered the Texas Trinity. Honestly the juiciest, the most tender brisket and ribs I've had in Sweden. Their homemade sausage and bbq sauce were also really good. The sides we ordered were alright, albeit not mind-blowing. Overall, it's really worth going all the way here because nothing in Stockholm city even comes close.
Excellent meat. Tender and juicy. Cool location.
Only downside is that they don't got stronger beer than 3.5% so you miss out on a nice pale ale to go with the meat.
