    This place is the bomb! A friend told me about it and I was in the area and decided to stop for lunch. This is in the National Cemetary, (Nutbush) area. It is a hole in the wall, old time hamburger joint with two windows to walk up to and place your order. I approached one of the windows and could not find anyone around. I ended up going inside and there are two plastic tables in there where you can dine or place your order. Someone came out, I placed my order, double cheeseburger, and sat on a bench and waited. Everything is made to order so there is a wait, about 15 minutes in this case. I could not believe how big this burger is for $5. I literally could not get my mouth over the burger. They also offer a triple! Anyway one of those out of the way cool places in the hood that only the locals know about. Check it out.

    It's hard to classify the Sweden Kream. It would be wrong to call it a burger joint, because they also serve hot wings, tamales, breakfast, ice cream, shakes, and snow cones. The menu is taped to the window, and over the years, various items have been added to it on neon poster board. All of the lettering and art (including a giant mouth licking a chicken wing) are hand-painted. The place looks like it's been open since man first realized that snow cones and burgers are necessary to surviving summer in the South. Despite having a small dining room, it's not exactly a restaurant, either. You place your order at a window, then stand around and wait for the window to open and your initials to be called. It took about 20 minutes for the woman inside to yell my initials and stick a paper bag and cup through the window. I got the cheeseburger combo, which came with a juicy, greasy cheeseburger, some old-school crinkle cut fries and the best chocolate shake I've ever had. Its simplicity was amazing - there were no superfluous toppings, just plenty of creamy chocolate goodness. The Sweden Kream is located in North Memphis, on National. It looks a little sketchy, but it's not bad. It's open Monday - Saturday, from 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. When I was there around lunchtime, it was busy, but not overly crowded. As the summer goes on, though, I could see the lines for snow cones and milkshakes getting long. If you're not into waiting, you can call in your order.

    I'm writing this review right after writing one for Jerry's Sno Cones...guess I'm in an ice cream state of mind. The reason I bring up Jerry's is that these two operations are very similar in concept and execution. Both are drive-ups and both serve sandwich type meals as well as ice cream and shaved ice. And both are in parts of town that not everyone is comfortable hanging out in - though Sweden Kream's location has a greater potential for nastiness than Jerry's (my opinion only). We were talking about Jerry's at work and someone mentioned that they have always enjoyed SK. So...I tried it. Yuck. My guest had a shaved ice and ice cream combo that could not be finished (got about 1/4 of the way through it). I tasted it and it was bad. I ordered an ice cream and Oreo Cookie mix and though it was okay, it was just that, okay. Had we experienced any kind of friendly or professional or prompt service I might have been tempted to give SK an extra star or two. But, as you can see by my rating, that didn't happen. Won't be going back unless someone else needs the experience.

    Sweden Kream, despite its name, makes the best hamburger in Memphis. The burger (which I usually get with cheese) is simple, consisting of lettuce, tomato, mayo and a 1/3-pound beef patty that is cooked to perfection. The meat is tender and well seasoned in salt and pepper, with just enough grease to give that element of juiciness. It usually takes about thirty minutes for the restaurant to cook, but it is well worth the wait (I usually call-in my order well in advance). I always order fries with my burger, which complements the sandwich well even though the fries are about average. The cheeseburger and fries cost just under $5, which is a pretty good deal compared to the national fast food chains, whose quality isn't nearly as good. Also, I think it is better than Jerry's Sno Cones, a similar, albeit better known establishment that is about a mile away in the same Nutbush neighborhood that Sweden Kream is located. So far, I haven't tried anything else on the menu, but if the rest of the food is as good as the burgers, I look forward to trying them in the future.

    Maybe the hot summer days of the early 1940s (before air conditioning) helped to fuel the demand for cool treats by visitors to nearby National Cemetery. Perhaps from this crucible of a lost America, we can imagine the birth of the strangely named "Sweden Kream". This quaint little place may be one of the most unique and enduring food stops in Memphis. Set in a neighborhood that is as eclectic as the tiny eatery's menu, Sweden Kream appears to be a colorful specter from bygone days. It is reported to be older than the homes surrounding it, dating back to 1940. Perhaps this is why the current owner, Terry Hardaway, i known to produce the best "old fashioned" burgers in the city. Even so, it is difficult not to compare this place with Jerry's Sno Cones, so I will just go on record as haing a preference for Jerry's burgers, even though the Sweden Kream cheeseburger does boast some superior aspects. As to the most important element, the quality of the meat, I feel Jerry's wins with the ground beef coming from Charlie's Meat Market on Summer (best in town, IMHO). Better cheese too. But not to be found a distant second, Sweden Kream fries their unique hand "shaped" 1/3 pound patty until the edges are crispy, then butters the buns and grills them to crisp perfection in the beef fat which glistens off the griddle. The SK burger with everything on it is loaded with more than the bun can contain, even though the assembly order of condiments is well thought out and balanced. A sloppy delight which becomes moreso with every passing bite. The fries are simply an earthy treat, with a crispiness which surpasses Jerry's best effort. The Sno cone is a bit icier that Jerry's and consequently the flavors aren't as intense. I also tried the chocolate soft serve ice ceam and it seemed like it had more cocoa than Jerry's, but sadly the SK attempt at a "Supreme" fell short of the storied greatness offered by their competitor. Lastly, the prices at Sweden Kream were better than those offered by Jerry's and this could be a reason SK still does a brisk business in an area that is a bit edgier and likely has a lower income than that which surrounds Jerry's. In conclusion, if you like Jerry's, you will likely enjoy Sweden Kream...especially so if you have an appreciation for the longevity of unique urban landmarks which offer equally unique experiences for those willing to embrace the possibility.

    Sweden Kream's burgers are truly one of a kind. I recently relocated to the DC area & when I do return back home to Memphis, SK is the first place I visit. I have never tasted a burger quiet like this. Not only are the burgers delicious, so are the wings. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. My summer favorite is a wedding cake/ blue raspberry Hawaiian shaved. Expect to wait because the food is made to order. The wait is so worth it & the prices are very reasonable.

    Not only great burgers, but super wings as well. Also try the ice cream hot fudge cake - tastes just like the one Shoney's used to make.
