Whether you’re a wagyu worshipper, a fan of fried chicken in Singapore, a pulled pork purist, or a fan of vegetarian food in Singapore, this city’s got a burger with your name on it. We bit our way through juicy stacks, messy cheese bombs, and even vegan game-changers to bring you this definitive list. And for an all-American meal, don’t miss out our guide to American restaurants in Singapore.
1. One Fattened Calf
At OFC, nothing is left to chance. These folks bake their own potato buns, grind New Zealand grass-fed beef daily, and whip up a secret sauce that deserves its own fan club. We’ve sunk our teeth into the famous OFC ButterBurger – that melting slab of butter is pure decadence – and yes, the hype is truly well-deserved.
Another must-order is The OFC GoldBurger, which comes stacked with pulled beef brisket for double the indulgence. It’s basically a love letter to gluttony. Don’t skip the cheese fries either: oozy, golden, and downright addictive. P.S. The New Bahru outlet is perpetually crowded, so we recommend swinging by earlier to get a table.
Best for: Burger purists who believe quality ingredients are king
Must-try items: OFC GoldBurger; OFC ButterBurger; cheese fries
How much: From $16.50
Opening hours: Timing varies by location
Address: One Fattened Calf, multiple locations including One-North and New Bahru
2. Phat Burger Bro
Stacked, messy, and unapologetically indulgent – these burgers live up to the name. Expect sesame milk buns, house-ground patties, caramelised onions, and homemade pickles that balance out the richness. It’s the type of burger that demands a napkin strategy. Go for the Turf & Turf, a beef-meets-chicken heavyweight, or the Philly cheese for oozy, classic satisfaction. Bonus points: these folks don’t skimp on loaded fries.
Best for: Burger beasts who don’t mind messy hands
Must-try items: Philly cheese; Turf and Turf; hand cut fries
How much: From $16
Opening hours: Daily, 10am to 10pm
Address: Phat Burger Bro, #01-17, Valley Point, 491 River Valley Road, Singapore 248371
3. Burnt Ends
This Michelin-starred restaurant in Singapore isn’t “just” about smoked meats. In fact, its pulled pork burger is legendary. Cooked in wood-fired ovens that hit 700°C, every bite is smoky, tender, and dripping with umami. Add pillowy brioche, and you’ve got a burger worth planning your cheat day around. While you’re there, sneak in sides like smoked quail eggs or steak frites for the full experience. A word of warning: getting a reservation is as elusive as the tooth fairy.
Best for: Meat lovers who want their burger with a side of prestige
Must-try items: Pulled pork burger; smoked quail eggs; steak frites
How much: From $25
Opening hours: Tuesdays & Wednesdays, 6pm to 11pm and Thursdays to Saturdays, 12pm to 2.30pm & 6pm to 11pm
Address: Burnt Ends, #01-04, 7 Dempsey Road, Singapore 249671
4. Two Blur Guys
This underrated Jalan Besar gem proves size isn’t everything – it’s what’s inside that counts. Two Blur Guys’ pulled pork burger is comfort food done right, while the foie gras burger is pure indulgence (that’s right, foie gras in a neighbourhood spot). Craving some heat for your taste buds? The spicy crispy chicken burger packs a fiery punch without skimping on crunch.
Best for: Those who love bragging about “hole-in-the-wall” finds
Must-try items: Pulled pork burger; foie gras burger; spicy crispy chicken burger
How much: From $16.90

Address: Two Blur Guys, 387 Jalan Besar, Singapore 209002
5. Skirt & Dirt
A hawker stall slinging gourmet-level burgers? That’s Skirt & Dirt for you. Located in Tiong Bahru Market, this joint wins hearts with its cheese skirt burger, a patty hugged by a crispy halo of cheddar that’s as dramatic as it sounds. Messy? Absolutely. Worth it? 100%. The classic burger and chicken burger are solid choices in our books, too making this stall a budget-friendly way to eat bougie.
Best for: Broke-but-bougie burger fans
Must-try items: Cheese skirt burger; classic burger; chicken burger
How much: From $6.80
Opening hours: Tuesdays to Sundays, 11.30am to 8pm
Address: Skirt & Dirt, #02-66, Tiong Bahru Market, 30 Seng Poh Road, Singapore 16889
6. OverEasy
The diner vibes may be retro-cool, but the burgers are timeless. OverEasy nails the American-style formula with wagyu chuck patties on fluffy potato buns. The truffle burger (mushrooms, Swiss, truffle mayo) is a decadent crowd-pleaser, but we feel the classic “To-Die-For” burger and crinkle-cut fries deliver consistent comfort-food satisfaction. Plus, the waterfront Fullerton location? Chef’s kiss for date night or getting together with friends after work.
Best for: Anyone craving diner nostalgia with a luxe twist
Must-try items: “To-Die-For” burger; truffle burger
How much: From $20
Opening hours: Weekdays, 12pm to 11pm and weekends, 11am to 11pm
Address: OverEasy, #01-06, One Fullerton, 1 Fullerton Road, Singapore 049213
7. VeganBurg
Meatless doesn’t mean joyless. VeganBurg has been flipping the plant-based script long before oat milk brands in Singapore became a lifestyle. Think soy-based patties, wholemeal buns, and toppings that actually slap. The Smoky BBQ comes stacked with onion rings and BBQ sauce for that Texan drama, while the Shrooms Burg delivers a fried portobello patty with creamy dairy-free sauce. Even carnivores (like us) won’t walk away salty.
Best for: Vegans, flexitarians, and meat eaters who want to feel smugly healthy
Must-try items: Smoky BBQ; Shrooms Burg; char-grilled satay
How much: From $10.90
Opening hours: Mondays to Thursdays, 11.30am to 9pm and Fridays to Sundays, 11.30am to 9.30pm
Address: VeganBurg, 44 Jalan Eunos, Singapore 419502
8. Armoury Steaks & Craft Beer
Part steakhouse, part gastropub, Armoury is the kind of place where burgers meet pints, and both win. The Armoury burger is stacked with wagyu, crispy bacon, caramelised onions, and melty cheese – basically a cheat code for happiness. Pair it with one of the gastropub’s craft beers, and you’ve unlocked “weekend well spent” status. We adore its decor, a mix of modern and classical that references its history as a British military armoury.
Best for: Carnivores who want their burger with beer buddies
Must-try items: Armoury wagyu burger; steak frites; craft beer
How much: From $26
Opening hours: Sundays to Tuesdays, 11.30am to 10pm, Wednesdays & Thursdays, 11.30am to 10.30pm, and Fridays & Saturdays, 11.30am to 11pm
Address: Armoury Steaks & Craft Beer, #11-03/04, Orchard Central, 181 Orchard Road, Singapore 238896
9. Wild/Fire
If you like your burgers messy, bold, and Instagram-ready, the newly rebranded Wild/Fire delivers. USDA-certified black angus patties are the star, but toppings push it into extra territory. We had The Bear and the hot honey butter chicken burger, and you can say we’ve fallen in love. The chicken burger stole our hearts: that sweet-and-savoury combo hit just right, and the juicy patty sealed the deal. The chilli con carne in The Bear was *chef’s kiss*, but we’d covet it even more if it were a touch less oily. Oh, be sure to add the umami fries to your order! It’s like a certain fast food chain’s rendition, but better.
Best for: People who treat burgers like an extreme sport
Must-try items: Hot honey butter chicken; The Bear; umami fries
How much: From $17
Opening hours: Sundays to Thursdays, 12pm to 3pm & 6pm to 10.30pm and Fridays & Saturdays, 12pm to 3pm & 6pm to 11pm
Address: Wild/Fire, #01-59, UE Square, 207 River Valley Road, Singapore 238275 (Entrance via Mohamed Sultan Road)
10. Shake Shack
This global burger juggernaut that actually lives up to the hype, and we’re so glad it’s here in Singapore. Expect juicy beef patties, pillowy potato buns, and just the right ratio of sauce-to-lettuce-to-tomato. The ShackBurger is your non-negotiable order, best paired with cheese fries so gooey they deserve their own OnlyFans. Pro tip: each outlet features murals by local artists, so yes, your IG story just found its backdrop. Our favourite is the Neil Road store – the artwork is an homage to its original location, the Tiger Balm factory.
Best for: Fast food fanatics who want reliability and aesthetics
Must-try items: ShackBurger; Crinkle-cut cheese fries; Shackmeister Ale
How much: From $10
Opening hours: Open daily; timing varies by location
Address: Shake Shack, multiple locations including Neil Road and Jewel Changi Airport
11. Fatboy’s The Burger Bar
Your no-nonsense neighbourhood burger bar, but with curveballs. Classics like the cheeseburger hit the spot, but then there’s The Elvis, a bacon-stuffed pork patty topped with grilled bananas and peanut butter (it shouldn’t work, but it does). Feeling extra? The fried chicken waffle sandwich and chicken mac & cheese are worthy side hustles and get two thumbs up from us.
Best for: Comfort food seekers who love a cheeky twist
Must-try items: The Elvis; cheeseburger; chicken mac and cheese
How much: From $13
Opening hours: Weekdays, 12pm to 11pm and weekends, 11am to 11pm
Address: Fatboy’s The Burger Bar, 187 Upper Thomson Road, Singapore 574335
12. Honbo
Straight outta Hong Kong, Honbo doesn’t do subtle. Its burgers are stacked, saucy, and engineered for messy joy. The Honbo burger layers smashed beef patties with melty cheese in glorious excess, while seafood specials like scallop or soft shell crab burgs keep things interesting. While the burgers are obviously great, we also wanna shout out the chilli fries and apple pie iced tea. They serve as the perfect companions for the ultimate cheat meal.
Best for: Adventurous eaters who think “too much beef” is a fake concept
Must-try items: Honbo burger; scallops burger; chilli fries
How much: From $15
Opening hours: Daily, 12pm to 10.30pm
Address: Honbo, #01-09, Chijmes, 30 Victoria Street, Singapore 187996
