Best burgers in Singapore
1. One Fattened Calf
From baking its own potato buns to making its signature sauce, everything is prepared from scratch at One Fattened Calf. These folks even take the time to grind their New Zealand grass-fed beef to make juicy, tender patties. Don’t walk away without trying the OFC GoldBurger that comes with house-special pulled beef brisket or the OFC ButterBurger that’s a decadent treat with – you guessed it – a slab of butter that melts all over your burger. And can we just talk about those cheese fries? They’re the bomb!
One Fattened Calf, multiple locations including One-North and New Bahru
2. Phat Burger Bro
Who are you calling phat? These folks’ burgers, of course – they’re the textbook definition of stacked. We’re talking sesame milk buns, freshly ground patties, cheese, homemade pickles and caramelised onions. Digging into them is a messy affair, so standby with the wet tissues. P.S. the Turf and Turf is a divine combination of beef and chicken. No doubt about it, you’ll have a phat time here.
Phat Burger Bro, #01-17, Valley Point, 491 River Valley Road, Singapore 248371
3. Honbo
Picture thick, juicy burgs dripping with beefy goodness and melty cheese running down your fingers. If you’re already licking your lips, drop whatever you’re doing and head to this famous Hong Kong joint in Chijmes. Offerings range from one burger with four smashed beef patties to scallops, soft shell crab, and oyster specials. Pair your selection with chilli fries and apple pie iced tea for a filling meal.
Honbo, #01-09, Chijmes, 30 Victoria Street, Singapore 187996
4. Wildfire Burgers
Ready to get down and dirty with the juiciest burgers in town? Hit up Wildfire for a treat that’s worth all the calories. The truffled mushroom burger tops USDA-certified black angus beef with truffle mayo, mushrooms and caramelised onions, while the triple bacon cheeseburger is a decadent version of the classic. Going for lean meat? Try the hot honey butter chicken burger for a smoky, spicy bite. Or get the grilled portobello creation layered with feta, zucchini and semi-dried tomato.
Wildfire Burgers, #01-12, Robertson Walk, 11 Unity Street, Singapore 237995
5. Burnt Ends
For all you carnivores, Burnt Ends is an unpretentious treat for the senses. Expect a mouth-watering barrage of delightful meats cooked in scorching ovens (that can go up to a crazy temp of 700+ degrees). The pulled pork burger is a legendary creation, with umami flavours coming through the moment you sink your teeth into the pillowy brioche bun.
Burnt Ends, #01-02, 7 Dempsey Road, Singapore 249671
6. The Goodburger
It’s all in the name. This food truck serves up plant-based versions of burgers you know and love, but don’t look down on them – they’re really good. Sink your teeth into the classic cheeseburger, which comes with Impossible patty, cheese, and a secret sauce. If you’re looking for a spicy kick, we say go for the Thai-inspired One Night in Bangkok. Don’t forget to add mozzarella sticks to your order!
The Goodburger, Coronation Shopping Plaza, 587 Bukit Timah Road, Singapore 269707
7. Ashes Burnnit
Known for its charcoal burger buns, this Muslim-owned local brand serves up wallet-friendly burgers that can be enjoyed by everyone. The menu boasts beef, chicken, and mushroom options that come with a side of fries. If that’s not enough, add cheese, a sunny side up, or pulled beef to your burger.
Ashes Burnnit, multiple locations including Beach Road and Teck Whye Lane
8. Project Burgs
Great burgers at even better prices? We love the sound of that. Project Burgs dishes out mean ol’ burgers in spades at incredibly pocket-friendly prices. Think juicy beef patties between soft buns and coated in melty cheese. For variety, grab fried wings or mac and cheese to share.
Project Burgs, multiple locations including 313@Somerset and Causeway Point
9. Burger Frites
This Joo Chiat establishment serves a mean burger with some crispy homemade double-fried fries. Opened by the same minds behind the Braseiro steakhouse, they clearly take their meat seriously. Btw, you can’t make reservations here so if you’re looking to feast on juicy burgers, be sure to arrive earlier for a table.
Burger Frites, 340 Joo Chiat Road, Singapore 427592
10. Skirt & Dirt
Looking for quality burgers at pocket-friendly prices? Head down to Skirt & Dirt at Tiong Bahru Market. It may be located in a hawker centre, but don’t look down on this burger joint because its humble burgers are not to be underestimated. We love the cheese skirt burger, which comes with a thin layer of crisp cheese that packs a sharp flavour.
Skirt & Dirt, #02-66, Tiong Bahru Market, 30 Seng Poh Road, Singapore 16889
11. Two Blur Guys
This hole-in-the-wall joint doesn’t look like much from the outside. But step inside to try the burgers and you’ll be impressed. An ultimate comfort food choice? The pulled pork. But if you want something a little fancier, go for the foie gras. Its spicy crispy chicken burger isn’t too shabby either.
Two Blur Guys, 387 Jalan Besar, Singapore 209002
12. Shake Shack
Think tender beef patties, fresh lettuce and vibrant slices of tomato stacked inside a pillowy soft potato bun. If you’re looking for flavour and consistency, Shake Shack is the place to be. Enjoy your burger with a side of oozy crinkle cut cheese fries and wash it all down with a giant cup of Shackmeister ale. You can even snap some Instagram-worthy pictures with your friends in front of murals painted by local artists at each of the Shake Shack restaurants.
Shake Shack, multiple locations including Neil Road and Jewel Changi Airport
13. OverEasy
Few do classic American-style burgers as well as OverEasy. All of the beef burgers come with juicy wagyu chuck blend patties served on super soft, potato buns. Our top pick? The irresistible truffle burger, which features Swiss cheese, mushrooms and truffle mayo.
OverEasy, #01-06, One Fullerton, 1 Fullerton Road, Singapore 049213
14. Potato Head Singapore
It’s a four-in-one concept at this Keong Saik spot. For gastronomically good burgers, head straight to The Dining Hall at level two. The Huey (Tasmanian vintage beef patty with cheese, pickles and spiced mayo) is pure gold. So is the Truff Ryder (beef patty with pan-seared foie gras, truffled onion marmalade and cheese, ketchup and miso mayo).
Potato Head Singapore, 36 Keong Saik Road, Singapore 089143
15. Hans Im Gluck
At Hans Im Gluck you can expect hefty burgers with a German twist. Not a fan of the classic beef patty? No problem – take your pick from tender chicken breast or a myriad of vegetarian and vegan options. Get sides like a mixed salad with Asian dressing, or thick cut fries to go along with it.
Hans Im Gluck, #01-57, VivoCity, 1 HarbourFront Walk, Singapore 098585
16. Armoury Steak & Craft Beer
This gastropub’s decor is a mix of modern and classical, referencing its history as a British military armoury. Another thing that’s traditional in this joint? Its passion for good ol’ burgers. Dig into the eponymous Armoury burger, stacked with a wagyu patty, bacon, cheese and caramelised onions. It’s so good, you might just weep tears of joy.
Armoury Steak & Craft Beer, multiple locations including Orchard Central and Aperia Mall
17. Fatboy’s The Burger Bar
We love ourselves a good ol’ American-style burger and Fatboy’s really hits the spot with staples like the classic cheeseburger and oddities like The Elvis (a bacon-stuffed pork patty with grilled bananas and peanut butter). Though definitely a burger place, the chicken mac and cheese and the fried chicken waffle sandwich are no slouches in the taste department either.
Fatboy’s The Burger Bar, multiple locations including Upper Thomson Road and Prinsep Street
18. VeganBurg
A guilt-free burger that doesn’t contain any meat? Sign us up, pronto! VeganBurg is all about promoting a plant-based diet and dispelling the belief that fast food equals junk food. Choose from options like the Smoky BBQ (plant-protein patty served with onion rings and barbecue sauce) and the Shrooms Burg (fried portobello patty with dairy-free cream sauce and caramelised onions).
